Actually, if you go the Apple website, you can configure the Pro with a single 2.8 GHz quad-core processor, for $2300. But still, that's significantly more than a consumer level price.
2.) If the Safari installation sets itself as the default browser, it's a big deal. Otherwise, you're right, it's pretty much a non-issue, cause all it's doing is taking up a bit of disk space. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say whether the pernicious behavior occurs.
So that's the list for the PC. Looks like you have 7 legitimate items that you have to do. While they all may be common sense for you or me, they're not common sense for the average consumer.
1) I put out a sign, "I will let you borrow my car."
2) You ask, "Can I borrow your car?"
3) I say, "Yes, and here are the keys."
4) YOU STOLE MY CAR!!!!!
There is no difference.
I think there is a significant difference, but it actually serves to further your point: if someone borrows your car, you can't use it simultaneously. If someone borrows your wireless, you are most likely not inconvenienced in the least.
I see my apple logo on my laptop all the time. People always tell me I'm full of shit, but I always explain that I'm full of great ideas. Now I have proof that I'm the one that's right, and they're full of shit.
Maybe because if you're seeing the Apple logo, you're looking at the wrong side of the screen...
Yes, Iran and North Korea (e.g.) aren't quite trustworthy when it comes to implements of destruction. However, you're making the assumption that the US is the opposite. That's where the hypocrisy lies.
That's only hypocrisy if he actually believes that the US to be no more trustworthy than Iran or North Korea. While either of those countries would have to be insane to actually use a nuclear weapon, I personally would rather they didn't have the option.
Exactly. AIM has a huge installed user base. If an OSS developer wants to create a relevant IM app, they're going to target AIM. On the other hand, if all they care about is OSS philosophy, they can neglect AIM to their own detriment...
Could you theoretically keep doing that between various banks until the whole system went bust? (Just curious...)
You would have to deposit your cash before you could pull it back out, so no, not really. But if everyone simultaneously decided to pull their money out as cash, well, that's what's known as a run on the bank.
What's so cool about halting clean dvd edits? Do you find it morally objectionable to remove morally objectionable content from movies? Yes I do find that objectionable. I find intolerance of natural human functions in the media objectionable. If you can't handle it, don't watch it.
Why shouldn't people be able to watch it as they want to watch it?
Prohibiting the editing of movies altogether is not the answer. Yes it is the answer. Get over yourself.
Let me guess... you're also against fast-forward, rewind, ad-skip in TiVo, and anything and everything else that allows consumers to watch content as they wish to do so?
Homeschooling just segregates them even more and inhibits their socialization. The fact that you want to choose with whom they socialize is kind of disturbing. They aren't some sort of pet that you get to train. You should allow children to grow and develop with guidance, rather than follow some sort of path that you want to vicariously travel. In my opinion it's homeschooling that will hinder your potential child's socialization, rather than public schools.
I was going to point out that I was home-schooled through high school, and am perfectly well socialized... but then I remembered where I was posting this.:)
There was one computer magazine (don't remember which one) that had an article in which the author was referring to our continual lust for greater hard drive space as our being petaphiles.
Yeah but isn't that just the point? Churches are trying to put the genie back in the bottle, trying to create a world that's rose colored, without dog shit on the street and without beer ads. And without condoms. (I'm making huge blanket statements for argument's sake here)
This makes people wonder: why would they do that?
It makes the church in question look kind of stupid, because everyone knows there is beer, and aids, and kids out of marriage, and dog shit as well.
It makes the "true believers" look REALLY stupid because they're adhering to a world view that's proposed by this church, a world view that's just not real, without question.
No, I think it's more a question of choosing not to display material that they find offensive. Why should they display advertisements that they find offensive? Just because something exists doesn't mean everyone has to watch it all the time.
Most people who have spent any time in a larger city will have experienced the joys of panhandlers. Most people avoid them, and in particular avoid making eye contact with them, whether it is because they are offended or perhaps feel guilty. Should they be forced to make eye contact with every panhandler they meet and listen to his spiel before declining to give him a quarter?

You're killing me, man... Chicago-style is a pizza pie. A deep pie crust to hold the wonderful goodness inside! MMmmmm

Also, who runs 3D accelerated stuff in Linux?
Either that, or that the dictionary is in alphabetic order, as is the norm for dictionaries...
Most dictionaries list alternative spellings and plurals after a noun. This is most likely to what the GP was referring.
E.g.: index, noun (pl. -dexes or esp. in technical use -dices)
The only way we'll be "energy independent" by your definition is to give up everything that requires energy... that ain't happening.
we must stop CERN...
That's right, boys and girls! I use Macs and drive an Audi! Better watch out, or I'll mod you into oblivion! BWAHAHAHA!
But doctor, I came in for a lung transplant, not a double mastectomy!
Two things:
1.) brouhaha
2.) If the Safari installation sets itself as the default browser, it's a big deal. Otherwise, you're right, it's pretty much a non-issue, cause all it's doing is taking up a bit of disk space. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say whether the pernicious behavior occurs.
For comparison, here's the list for the console:
1. Uh.. nothing.
See?
Hey! That's the same as the list for my Mac!
1) I put out a sign, "I will let you borrow my car."
2) You ask, "Can I borrow your car?"
3) I say, "Yes, and here are the keys."
4) YOU STOLE MY CAR!!!!!

I keed, I keed... typing this from my MacBook.

Michael Nygard? As in, blogger Michael Nygard? You've never heard of him?! Yeah... neither have I.

Used to... guess he's got more pressing concerns, now.
It's ok... the mods believed you. :)
Just rotate it 90 degrees, poof.
But that would just turn it into real property!
