Did you install from scratch or upgrade? With Apple the upgrade option never works as well as from scratch, I don't know the reason behind it but in previous versions it has always been slower after upgrading rather than doing a blank install.
Dude, have you seen those military movies or those crime solving shows? Having giant clear screens in the middle of the room is the way of the future. For crime solving they are more like transparent whiteboards though, with very bright markers.
Whoa, what banks are allowed to loan up to 9 times? Last time I looked at the Federal Reserve System, the bank could only take out insurance up to twice what the bank hand, and that amount is a loan that the bank has to pay interest on to the Federal Reserve (albeit a very low interest rate, last I looked I think it was 4 points below prime). After that it is not insured, and very few (if any) banks deal with uninsured loans.
Banks do not create money. They make money by charging higher interest on loans (including credit cards and mortgages) than they give for money deposited with them. They try to give competitive deposits because the more money they have deposited the more money they can give out in (insured) loans, and in turn collect even more interest.
At least at my university, a lot of the events sent out through the mailing list have PDFs or Word documents attached. Many others are heavily formatted with HTML, using images in order to do word art. It adds up quickly, and I am happy to see Google increase their space as I noticed my free space percentage has been steadily decreasing.
I was just thinking, what if one could combine Google Earth, Sketchup, and Photosynth? Maybe throw in Wikipedia for good measure. Imagine how cool it would be if you could zoom to Chicago and see a scale model of the Empire State Building, with all the texturing done by a combination of photos. Something like this I think would be amazing, and would be one of the sweetest way to check out buildings and monuments that are far away and expensive to travel to.
Readable if the letters are reformatted I will give you, but have you ever tried reading material from the American Revolution that was written in cursive? Even in print the whole "s" looking a lot like an "f" thing at the beginning and middle of words gets real annoying, along with the goofy connector of "c" and "t" when they appear next to each other.
Why do you resort to name calling, profanity, and general trolling? You have an argument that you could actually argue here, but instead you refuse to engage counterpoints, call the dissenter names, and show way too much angst. I would think someone with such a low ID number would be more reasoned and a better example of Slashdot. From your posting in this thread I can only assume your mother was killed by a taser and your father was raped by one, making it impossible for you to have a controlled and cohesive discussion on the issue.
You justify the random application of pain, when it will serve absolutely no purpose except the satisfaction of people who dislike that person
I heavily disagree with this statement. I don't think the recent headlined case served a purpose of satisfaction, and even if it somehow did it was definitely not solely for that purpose.
Because you sure as shit don't deserve the freedom that so many fought and died to give you.
I will most definitely fight and die for freedoms that I believe in. I don't think actively resisting arrest is one of these freedoms. I also think the freedom I would fight and die for would allow people to express idea far more insane and inane than you think mine to be.
By the way, the reason I brought up the commerce factor is because you would have been better served to accuse me of supporting a police state or a dictatorship than of supporting fascism. I personally hate the way fascism is thrown around with disregard to what fascism really is. There are equally villainous words you can use that won't dilute the meaning and usefulness of the term fascism.
You and I have a far different definition of passive. I'm sorry that you think I'm a fascist, as my views are more liaise fair when it comes to government intervention in business than to anything resembling fascism.
Mini under powered? Maybe when it had a core Solo, but not that it comes standard with a Core 2 Duo and a gig of RAM I don't think the mini is underpowered at all (unless you mean only the GPU, in which case you are correct). I will give you that it is at least $100 overpriced, IMHO anyways.
Highest margin in the industry? Are you sure about that? I think Sun has quite high margins on their workstations, Voodoo and Alienware I think have higher margins on their desktops, and last I looked Acer had a few models of laptops with some pretty crazy margins on them (Ferrari branded if I recall correctly). Apple may have higher margins than Dell or HP, but they are far from the highest in the industry.
You can already do something like that with a lot less work using water, milk jugs, balloons (have to let the container expand as fermentation takes place), juice concentrate, sugar, and yeast. It only takes weeks instead of months. We did it when I was in the dorms, I'm sure there are people still doing it today.
I am pretty sure this is the case in every state. If it is too dirty to read it falls under obstruction (same charge as if you covered it, painted it, or hid it).
Something is fishy about that map. On the West side there are 5 lines headed towards Asia, but on the Asian side there are only 2 lines coming in from the East. Do we have 3 cables only going to the mid-pacific? Also there is no explanation for the blue lines and the dotted line, what do these signify?
That would be it. I actually stumbled across it after my Ultima Collection CD got too scratched up to get U7 off of it (if I was a coding/programming person I would totally be doing the current Exult for OS-X, unfortunately the OS-X version hasn't been update for like 3 years).
The issue is they already threatened to use the taser. They threatened to use it, he started to comply, than he called them on it, but unfortunately for him they weren't bluffing. I had a friend running from cops before to avoid a MIP charge, the police yelled "Stop or we'll shoot!". My friend stopped for a second, than realized the cops would not want the publicity of shooting a (white, affluent) minor, and called them on it - fortunately for him the cops were bluffing. Non-lethal weaponry I think forces cops to honor their threats, as the publicity will be a lot more mixed (notice all of the "the kid deserved it" posts) and in most cases not making beyond the local paper's police beat.

Give me a minute and Wikipedia will back me up.

Not at all, but government ties to business is one of the central tenants of fascism.
You and I have a far different definition of passive. I'm sorry that you think I'm a fascist, as my views are more liaise fair when it comes to government intervention in business than to anything resembling fascism.
I guess your definition of "deserves it" is anybody who annoys you.
I personally think resisting arrest counts, that is a pretty stupid move. Just being arrested would have gotten attention.
You're either very poorly informed, a troll or a big-government fascist. Which is it?
You should be marked a troll for this, this sentence is is no better than what you see on Fox News.

Except you can't. Both models are oversold.
Two reasons. One: the total cost came out to something like $1 for a gallon of wine. Two: you have to be 21 to buy wine in America.

Are you kidding? I see cedega on the torrent sites all the time.
The video is also embedded in the slideshow, which I would encourage people to check out as there is some amazing work showcased.
They day we figure out how to make water into wine 98% of Higher education in America will cease to exist.
