I couldn't agree more. Don't pay the Apple tax on upgrades. Order the mac stock and buy your ram and hard drive upgrades at newegg.com, zipzoomfly.com, macsales.com, crucial.com, etc. Use the savings to buy Applecare.
I am primarily a mac user and admin, but I love ubuntu. I have successfully deployed ubuntu server in my environment. Most recently a moodle server running 7.10 server. I even did it without installing any desktop environment. All CLI baby, except for the graphical install screens during installation. apt-get is good magic. I will admit I installed webmin for my co-workers.

If 4:3 aspect displays were selling well, they wouldn't be end of life. The manufacturers would still be providing them if that's where the customers were placing their dollars. I think most people want 16:9 or 16:10 aspect ratio displays so that is what they are selling. I'm typing this on a 17 inch 1920X1200 display. I have not had a 4:3 ratio laptop in over 4 years. I have never looked back or lamented my decision.
You should remember The Lion, Which, Wardrobe was written by Christian theologian CS Lewis. Probably not going to see that in the movie unless the apocalypse is at hand. Of course, it very well could be one of the four horsemen.:-)
I would characterize sonic weapons written about in 1965 as science fiction. Folding space isn't the same as teleportation. Teleportation in science fiction usually refers to turning matter into energy or disassembling the matter for transmission and the reassembling on the other end. Folding space is more like traveling through a worm hole although that is a crappy analogy as well. Think of space as a two dimensional plane like a piece of paper. Take the piece of paper and put a dot on the far left of that piece of paper. Say you want that dot to get to the far right of the piece of paper without moving. You fold the piece of paper in half and the dot is now touching the far right piece of paper.
The sleeper has awakened. Long live the fighters.
"Oh-h-h, the Galacian girls
Will do it for pearls,
And the Arrakeen for water!
But if you desire dames
Like consuming flames,
Try a Caladanin daughter!"

While the Mac license remains unchanged, the Windows license has been altered from "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time" to "allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on each computer owned or controlled by you." The revision date on the license is March 26th.
Yes, even a guy with the handle maccolossus will join in the Apple bashing games. If you read the license agreement it also states it can only be installed on one computer at a time. So far for including Safari in my Windows lab images. It also states it can't be made available over a network to be used by more than one person at a time. So if you turn your mac mini's into a thin clients connected to a windows terminal server and more than one is using Safari from the terminal server you're "BREAKING THE LAW! BREAKING THE LAW!"
I wonder if your fingers would fall off over time. Repeated or prolonged exposure to x-rays caused that at the turn of the century before people realized it was bad. World War 1 xray techs lost fingers. I would assume uranium metal would have the same effect.
We have plenty of plutonium 238 in country. All the spent nuclear fuel rods sitting at power plants have plutonium 238. The states won't allow them to ship it to processing centers. So it sits in water or structures in storage at each individual power plant.
I've missed nothing. They have agreed to a disclosure. This in no way guarantees they will "fully" disclose everything useful or pertinent. However the EU has done a excellent job of guaranteeing they will provide all the needed info or be heavily fined.
The RIAA is guilty of forceable financial sodomy. A judges lack of understanding of technical matters and the common person's inability to afford a legal defense are their GHB and ruphie.
I don't miss Appletalk. I don't want Appletalk. Appletalk has been dead for a long time. AFP over TCP on the other hand would be nice as SMB shares currently don't preserve Mac specific file info. I have no faith in Microsoft fully disclosing what the Samba team requires to give Linux and Mac clients feature parity. It is only under continued EU pressure they have given what they have so far. Regardless, Apple has committed to making Samba as good as possible on the Macintosh. This may very well be the solution. It doesn't make it the best solution. You also have to like Microsoft making the Samba team and Apple's engineers do all the heavy lifting. Talk about being at a competitive disadvantage.
Unfortunately no. It doesn't fix the fact the Linux kernel is the evil seed of Linus Torvalds or that Windows is the evil seed of Gates and Monkey boy Ballmer either. I guess Apple can't fix anything.

Wow. Modded as a troll. That's a little harsh for disagreeing with my position.
It learned to eat oranges! Woohoo! God must be dead. I know if people saw me eating fruit they would swear hell froze over.
Was the application 32 bit or 64 bit?

So I'm not the only one who thought it was weird the aliens used Appletalk. :-)
In the utilities folder there is an excellent application to plot trajectory called "Grapher". It is included with the OS.
What is this C.L.O.G. you speak of?

Ahh yes. I have been known to drink so much of that I become prescient. :-) By the way, i love your signature.

Hilariously awesome. A Slashdot readers new mantra. Now if I could get the grocery clerk to tell me which aisle the juice of saphu is in.

Here is news release today saying EC has fined Microsoft over 1 Billion (insert Doctor Evil laugh). http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/02/27/ec.fines.ms.14b/

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the lack of Services for Macintosh on Server 2008. http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1886904&SiteID=17 Might as well run Linux or OSX Server if Windows Server is no longer going to "attempt" to offer cross platform support for clients. I'm aware the SFM client used a ancient version of AFP. There used to be the misguided hope Microsoft would update it. Surprisingly they haven't killed Services for NFS. http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/library/173273b1-8734-470b-b20c-9496419412501033.mspx?mfr=true Could killing SFM be construed as anticompetitive behavior in the face of increasing Mac marketshare? I think so.
