The problem is that mice don't live very long, 3 years at most. Epidemiological studies over decades have shown the association of asbestos to both lung cancer and mesothelioma. So conceivably we may not know until decades later unless we get a proper mouse model for cancer production with carbon nanotubes (if it causes cancer...).
It seems utterly wasteful. Over where I am, departments can send their used equipment (not just computers) to a central repository that's open to all other departments (and open to the public on certain days). Of course, for computer equipment, the harddrives are wiped.
In a cult, leaving the church is unthinkable and anyone who expresses a desire to do so is forcibly kept from doing so. Were I a member of a cult, expressing a desire to leave the group would likely result in my detention for "re-education" or perhaps in my "disappearance."
Uh, no you're reading too much into the original 12 word comment.
"It ain't free if you have to buy Windows to use it."
Technically you don't have to buy Windows to run it since you can hack Wine to run it. But then, you still need a computer, monitor, electricity, internet connection, etc. in order to run this program. So no matter how you look at it, the first comment is valid.
Let's see, I found a computer in a random office and took it home, use my neighbor's wireless access, and borrowed some bread from the baker. Not free? I don't know what you're talking about...

We have glowing mice and they're doing fine. Why not a glowing human? I think that would be pretty nifty. I really don't see why there would be people who are against such things.
This has other implications too. Imagine if we could remove the defect that causes Huntington disease in an embryo. Would people have ethical issues with that?
These are very cool and potentially powerful architectures that have never been fully explored due to Microsoft's monopoly in the nineties.
How exactly is an ISA monoculture Microsoft's fault? Microsoft did make Windows for multiple CPU architectures. Guess which ones people bought? The x86 version because the hardware is a lot less expensive. If there's any entity to blame, it's IBM, HP, DEC, Sun etc for not bringing down the prices of their architectures.
Well, I'm not sure those laws are really necessary since anyone who uses one to perform surgeries and isn't certified to actually perform surgeries is practicing medicine without a license, and that's a big no-no (jail and fines and what not).
The details aren't long on the game, but it gives two options for players: "dictator" and "receiver". They gave dictators money and told them to either keep it or give some away. Now if you were in the "dictator" group, wouldn't you want to keep the money? It's just a game, not real life.
That's like saying that cars look alike because they have a hood, driver/passenger doors, trunk, and 4 doors. There are only so many ways to draw an apple before it stops looking like an apple. These logos are clearly nothing alike in the ways that matter.
That's not really a fair question since you can apply that to practically any company. Name 10 technologies that Apple has shipped that was developed in-house. Name 10 technologies that has shipped that was developed in-house.
BTW, Microsoft, Apple, IBM (especially), etc. have all developed and shipped more than 10 technologies that they developed in-house.
Just look at IBM. People seem to love them now. Of course, then there're the likes of, say, Standard Oil/ExxonMobil/Chevron who have always been hated...

I prefer the term "embiggens".
What kind of magical job is this that you speak of???
Uh oh. Would that make Islam a cult?

For desktop usage? No. You use it to be different (hence the raging Mac vs. PC wars back in the day).

The REAL update...
That's old news. I'd say given IBM and Apple's recent history, this is interesting.
And we know democracies never lie either. What's your point?
The Second Life client is open source. If that can be done, why is the source code leak for this game such a bad thing?
Check out the wikipedia article. It gives good illustrations too.
But wait! I'm the one with the goatee. Does that mean I'm the evil one???

Inquiring minds really want to know. And so does Planet Weekly magazine.
Yes, it's a very cromulent word.

Or you can just put an Apple logo on your computer and it becomes Apple-labeled!
That's the same rhetoric that's been said by the anti-MS crowd for the past 10 years. What makes the next 5 any different?
