I don't think it is on Windows, but the bittorrent client Transmission I believe started on Mac (and I believe it is also the default app in the latest Ubuntu distribution).
For some things I kind of understand a minimum price, for example things that require infrastructure. The gas company for the heating of my apartment has a base fee even if you use no gas, due to having to maintain the meter, the pipes, and to send people to read the meter and check the pipes. Makes perfect sense to me to have a floor price if you expect high uptime. Unless they charge the entire cost of any maintenance or upgrades done, in which case you should only have to pay for what you use.
At least in my area they are fine with that, but HSI alone costs about $50 a month, and cable+internet are $60. Kind of hard justifying paying for satellite when cable is only $10 more...
I also noticed this today (may have started earlier, but had been away from the apartment). I thought it may have been due to a roommate leaving a bittorrent app up without limiting the speed, but since have discovered that is not the case.
I never claimed OS-X was innovative, new, or anything. I was just pointing out that it wasn't BSD. But since you bring it up, I think Apple has definitely had some innovations. My MacBook Pro now has multi-touch, which I have yet to see in any other OS. The finder now as quickview, which again is something I haven't seen before. You can argue all day about the tech behind it, but Time Machine brought about a huge change in how people look at back-ups. When Expose first came on the scene I had never seen anything like it, but that was long before I owned an Apple and when I was still using Knoppix instead of a dedicated partition. But personally, it doesn't matter at all if something is new to me, it matters if it is functional and efficient. If innovation was the important factor in computing then BeOS would have taken over the world.
In the business world many words and phrases have a much more narrow and specific definition. Leverage is one of these words, and the other replier pointed out the key phrase attached to it.
They don't leverage apache for business advantage. Instead look at their algorithms - oh wait, you can't. Why? Because of exactly the point he was making. See also the difference between the open and closed source versions of Virtual Box, and any myriad of database options built on top of (but not themselves) open source solutions.
I have a friend (when sick with a cold) who beat Mario Bros with his feet (left big toe on the D-pad, right big toe on A/B) on a normal NES controller. Also I don't know if I would say the NES Power Pad was a failure, a lot of people I know had it and we all had a blast playing Track and Field.
That is done by heating, not by disembowling/tearing. Render meaning to melt down actually doesn't apply to metals, but to fat (I was trying it to metal at an attempt at humor, even though it isn't proper usage).
Rend means to tear into two or more pieces, I think that is what you are looking for. Render can mean to provide a service, which I am pretty sure you can find a lot closer than Soviet Russia (especially since Soviet Russia doesn't exist anymore). Render can also mean to melt down though, so make sure that Soviet Russian babe isn't associated with a foundry.
I beg to differ. Slashdot is very familiar with free as in beer. Unless an article is specifically about the GNU, FSF, or Stallman I think it is safe to assume the average slashdotter will interpret free as in beer, and Free as in freedom.
Really? In my area it is possible to buy CD-Rs for more than two DVD-Rs, but if you buy it by the spindle (50-100 packs) and buy it on sale you can get CD-Rs for less than a quarter a piece.
CD-R's are dirt cheap in my area. I think it is clear the poster meant we would be using CD-Rs instead of the different DVD-R standards or recordable Bluray, holographic drives, DAT drives, and the like.
he odds can be 1:1, if you set your rates correctly (for that population). Think about that for a minute. If you set your rates too high no one buys it, and you lose money. If you set them lower than only the people with the problem will take it, and you lose money. If you set it low enough that everyone buys it you run the (extremely high) risk you won't be able to provide promised coverage. So it quickly becomes that certain expensive things simply won't be covered - pre-existing or not. This is not ideal. The 1:1 odds only work if both the insured and the insurers have about equal knowledge, otherwise it tips the scale to one side or the other - either the insurers make out like bandits or are no longer able to provide their services.
I can't see the evolutionary advantage in this strategy, we might have bred it into them. I have heard it explained before that it evolved as it allowed a group of sheep to prosper in areas with predators (one sheep would give up, the predators would take the easy kill, and the rest would live another day). I have also heard that "falling sheep" (can't think of the real name for them at this moment) were bred as a way to protect other animals (farmers would keep the "falling sheep" in the herds of other animals so predators would go after the easy prey instead of the more valuable animals).
Apple went about proving their green-ness, not becoming greener. How does that promote the goals of Greenpeace? If Greenpeace wanted to make progress they would go for the other vendors that are behind Apple and try to push them to shorten their timescale to make changes.
All Macs have been 64-bit for quite a while now. The G5s were 64-bit (but that doesn't really matter, since this update is only for Intel Macs) and the only Intel Macs that aren't 64-bit are the original run of Mac Minis with the Core Solos, and the first iMacs with the Core Duos. All Intel MacBooks, MacBook Pros, and Mac Pros are 64-bit, along with any iMac since late 2006.

Your sarcasm should be seriousness. OS-X is not BSD. That is exactly why you are wrong.

Or more likely it sounds like someone who has worked tech support (this is slashdot).

Did you read even the summary? The bodies were there before, during, and after the stones. How do you repurpose a structure before it stands?

That or he is an Ohioan and for some reason not satisfied with the outcome of the Toledo War.

As another poster said, try time machine. In addition, use spotlight in 10.5. Since upgrading I have yet to install quicksilver.

Accidently modded you overrated, meant to mod funny, posting to undo wrong moderation.
Unless my math is off, the KPC is 552.75 Cubic Inches. The Mac Mini is 84.5. That is almost a sevenfold increase.
