The problem I have with the iMacs is that it's very difficult (if not outright impossible) to reuse the display if you decide to get a better computer. It's a perfectly waste of a good display, especially when the iMacs become "obsolete" in the next 2-3 years.
The problem we have here is an issue of semantics. Here's the crux of the problem: my origami crane is implicitly copyrighted. Thus my friend would be guilty of copyright infringement. If my friend took away my origami crane, that would be stealing because I no longer have the physical object. However, since he just made his own origami crane to look like mine, he's only infringing on my copyright of the crane. I still have my origami crane in my possession.
The issue here is that the RIAA/MPAA would like to have you believe that copyright infringement and stealing are the same thing when they are not. What they're trying to do is pound into the public that copyright infringement is stealing because, quite frankly, which term sounds worse? Stealing or copyright infringement?
Let's say I have a paper origami crane. My friend has a piece of paper and proceeds to make a paper origami crane with his piece of paper. The end result looks exactly like mine. Did my friend just steal something? If not, then why is it considered "stealing" when magnetic bits are manipulated to the same state on hard drives?
I already have a much better solution for both Type I and II diabetics. They'll never even have to take insulin again. It's called, avoid carbohydrates.
Your solution won't do anything for type 1 diabetics since type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. Suppose you're a type 1 diabetec and you were able to use stem cells to regenerate your lost pancreatic islet cells. Once you implant them, they'd be promptly destroyed by your immune system.
This is type 2 diabetes we're talking about. More than 95% of these people are overweight/obese. The cure for these people is to lose the weight! Wkae me up when there's a cure for type 1 diabetes that doesn't require immunosuppresion therapy.
On the one hand, the government just wants more money. On the other hand, these are the same officials who likely go along with the internet being a series of tubes. But seriously, how can these asshats believe that hosting a video is anything like being a broadcaster? Oh, yeah I just answered my own question: it's the money despite any other explanations they give.
You're still not quite getting the point. Malicious malware writers are targeting Windows because of marketshare. How exactly do you make an effective botnet by exploiting a system that has less than 5% marketshare (or even less worldwide)? The answer is: you don't. You target the system that >95% of the people are using because there's an economic incentive to: DDos extortion of other sites, keystroke logging, installation of adware, etc. What economic incentive is there to target the minor players?
I work at a hospital. Sometimes I wonder whether our computers really are as secure as they should. All the computers have AVG installed, but is there something else I can do to check?
Well, then they could just release the parts that they have rights to and let the open source hackers fill in the remainder. It doesn't seem like that would be a particular challenge. Also these guys are working on open source 3D drivers for nVidia cards. We should probably give them some more help.
That's a false dichotomy, and you know it. The heat will at least be uncomfortable and at most temporarily decrease fertility.
How is this different from any other job?

IT and Divorce?

Doctors work long hours, especially surgeons, and have high divorce rates. Same with lawyers. Basically, any job in which you're working long hours and not spending time with your wife is a contributing factor for divorce. We've known this for at least several decades.
Consider a brain. an individual neuron doesn't really have much intelligence to speak of. But collectively, it's able to give rise to "intelligence." Whether or not we need to give up our individuality for such an endeavor remains to be seen. The borg come to mind of course, but then there's Gaia and Galaxia from the Foundation series of books.
You seem to have "back in my day..." syndrome. I disagree with all of your points. We Love Katamari was what the original Katamari should have been. I liked UT2K3 better than the original: better graphics with the same fast-paced FPS-styel gaming. GTA: San Andreas was/is so much better than the original GTA: more and varied vehicles, much larger game scope, much better storyline, etc. Certainly there are bad sequals, but none of the ones you've mentioned are them.
Humans are not very good at assessing risk. Most people will tell you that it's safer to drive than fly. However, statistically, you're more likely to die in a car accident than in an airplane.

Anything having to do with graphic design.
I already addressed that
Ok, now you're just being a little stupid. Sure you could use batch mode to manipulate graphics, if you know a priori what the image looked like and what you want to do with it or if you want to perform the same operation on a whole host of images. Prior to that, you'll the GUI to see what the image looks like and what kind of operation you want to do.
I'm not sure how accurate your statement regarding the performance of the ARM processor is. Since it's an embedded processor with very low power requirements, I wouldn't expect it to be better than a Pentium 200, unless you can provide evidence to the contrary.
For example, my WRT54GL has a MIPS-based BCM3302 processor underclocked to 183MHz (to save what miniscule amount of energy that it uses...). Here are the results of running nbench on my router:
As you can see, even at twice the clock-rate, my router is only 25% faster than a Pentium 90. Here's a summarized results page. My router is about comparable to a PowerPC 601 @ 50MHz in terms of integer performance.
Sure if it's someone at home who's still using Windows 98 and doesn't really do anything other than use the internet and word processing, sure it could happen. But if they're in a corporate environment, then it's pretty much set by whatever IT policy is there. If they already have Windows, they'll probably stick with Windows after replacing those old computers.
Ideally you'd write the program in C, then the compiler compiles to a shader program and you upload and run it. Now implementing Linux in Brainfuck could be deon similarly by writing a program that converts the Linux source code to Brainfuck source code.
With the advent of video cards that are Turing complete in recent years and sites such as this, how feasible is it to run an actual operating system on the video card itself? It seems like it would be possible to write a kernel as a shader program, upload it, and just have it run.
This is especially when I can get a used computer with decent specifications (Pentium III, 1 GHz, etc) for approximately $25-$50 at the local surplus store.
The summary states that the Godson-2 chip is 95% compatible with a R10000. That doesn't mean it's a direct copy of the R10000. It could just mean they use the 95% of the instructions that the R10000 uses (the ones that aren't patented). But without further details, we can't tell at this point.

Yes. Meanwhile our government here in the USA wants to spy on our phone conversations and look into our bank transactions.

Unless you're surrounded by the media circus, you're already guilty in their eyes. Just make sure your DNA doesn't match those on the stains
