How about wine or that cross over thing? Once configured they let you install office 2003 (and office 2000 I haven't tried office 2007). Then word, excel runs as word and excel. The biggest issues I have seen are access and publisher. Publisher works when creating a new project. Opening old publisher files can be a problem. No idea why, unless publisher 98 is so old that it doesn't work. And access, I just wish it would die. Sorry access drive me crazy. For word, excel, the slide show thing, and outlook. Yes outlook 2003 works for me (even hooked to an exchange server). The biggest problem was fonts. I needed to install a bunch of fonts. Which really wasn't the end of the world.
One other thing that I've been wondering about. If the Chief is a cylon, is his new wife a cylon? If not then they also have a cylon/human hybrid.
And also, who tipped off that there were 12 models?
But... Remember how the cylons keep saying that all this has happened before? Maybe the cylons are trying to figure out what happened/ where they could have done better and this is all a cylon simulation. Everything. The cylons recreated people from the past (all cylon) programed to be those real people. So the entire series is a simulation of past events.
I thought they killed of Starbuck since she was also doing another TV show. Granted same owners (Sci-Fi and NBC) but usually most networks do not like the 'stars' doing more then one full time show. Of course BSG remake of a 70's tv show and so is Bionic Woman. A pattern maybe? Is Buck Rodgers next?
The bombs dropped in WWII were nuclear but when compared to the nuclear bombs of today they are very weak. Countries looking to get nuclear weapons do not want those of WWII era they want more modern ones. And as other have said, which would have cost more lives on both sides: using those bombs or fighting mainland Japan?
With the shark thing, the sharks have been there forever. But, the water used to be clear and other fish were there. Now with the water not being so clean the plant life and fish have left. The sharks have not left yet. People are not the staple of a shark's diet. We can be food for them, but we are not the shark's first choice.
Only part time chick magnets. After a while she will want the kid to not be around all the time. So says three girls I know who are dating guys with kids. Being a single father impressed them at first. They just would like the kids to be left with someone for a weekend or two a month.
They will not risk making the 'holy sites' radioactive. They want to their people to be able to go there. So a dirty bomb anywhere near a 'holy site' will not happen. Far away from one, maybe. But not near any of the 'holy sites'
**There are a lot of 'holy site' places in Israel. I didn't feel like listing all of them.
Is there a public patent database that one can search?
That may be a bad idea come to think of it. Like that domain search site that 'reserved' the website you wanted and forced you to get it through them. A company offering patent searches could do the same thing. Search for idea, none found auto fill patent paperwork and send in before person searching does.
Maybe that is the Apple's point. They want people to have to use a mac to develop things for the iphone. If one could use a PC (linux/windows/) to develop things for their iphone, then Apple would not rake in more mac sales. by forcing people to develop on a mac for Apple products, Apple is generating more mac sales.
The EU is saying that ALL OS's should give ALL competing products an even ground. By their own stated rules the EU should also be going after Apple. It is not. I think it is a bigger target vs smaller target. Apple is currently a smaller target. Let's see what the EU does after they finish with microsoft. If they ever finish with microsoft.
The Fire line of video cards are not gaming cards. Not many laptops have a video card that can be changed. Some do (mini PCI, PCIe card) but most do not. Most desktops can have the video card upgraded or added. Very few desktops are PCI slot only nowadays. Most have a PCIe (maybe AGP if older) slot along with the integrated graphics.
Don't get a workstation/rendering card (fire/quatro) card for playing games. For creating the graphics yes, but not for playing games. A lot of those workstation cards cost $1500 just for the video card.
And Crysis is not a run of the mill game. Maybe in a year or two but not now. Every once in a while a new game comes out that pushes the graphics which make ATi and Nvidia make better cards. Doom 3 did this a few years ago and now Crysis is doing it today. Remember all those benchmarks that used Doom 3? Today's cards can run Doom 3 without an issue.
If it cost more to make a device that uses less power than the older high power device so what? Look at it this way: Take a million low power Abc CPUs vs a million high power DEF CPUs. The Abc unints cost about $1 more in power to create and $5 more in material to made then the DEF CPUs. So for the Abc CPU it cost $5 million more (for the million created) then DEF CPUs. If Abc CPUs use half the power when compared to DEF CPUs then the longer Abc CPUs are running they are saving energy and $$$ when compared to their DEF counterparts. So if the CPU were to run for 5-10 years it is a savings for the consumer and everyone in less powered being needed vs running the DEF CPUs. Not everyone will run their CPU for 10 years but 5 years should be a reasonable amount o time for a long term use for a CPU.
There are other examples. Now for things that one uses once and tosses, yes the less power hungry one should also cost less in power/materials to make.
Avril Lavigne, Briteny Spears, and Christina Aguilera are similar in the type of songs they sing. Spears had the best marketing. Spears also has the least amount of talent. Singing talent not dancing/looking like a stripper. Take away all the effects when they 'sing' and you find that Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne can sing. They have different strengths and sound but they each can sing. I don't think the same can be said of Spears.
$150 MILLION!! What school district to you go to? Most schools I have seen are lucky if they get 100 new computers ever 8-10 years. And the 'new' computers are in the $200-$500 at the time of purchase. The school districts that I know would kill for a budget of $150 million.

200 times its original size.... Are we changing the measurement to feet instead on inches (or meters instead of cm/mm for the rest of the world)

aaaa I was thinking GWB the current US President.
Microsoft should indeed make a service like the one that is integrated into the iPhone SDK: Only allow signed binaries.
I thought microsoft did this with vista's drivers? And people hated it. Doing this for all software will cause more people to hate it.

Potato bread. Unless this rust thing hits potato crops too.
How is GW screwing up the water supply? By making ethanol?

To bad someone let all the chain smoking squirrels loose on the streets. Now they run out and dance in front of cars daring the driver to hit them.
If I know am going to burn for eternity, may as well have fun now.

I have not heard of any of those songs or bands.
In fact does that list go: Song - Artist or Artist - Song?

Someone thing Apple is being more Borg like? Maybe a Steve jobs Borg icon in the future?
Now watch me get modded -5 you said something bad about Apple
Which Ada? The Object oriented one or the other one?
