You're not thinking like a liberal. Whenever anything involving tax reductions is mentioned, it becomes a "hey, that was my money to play with!" thing. They go so far sometimes as to try to equate tax reductions as 'increased spending' to continue in their shenanigans.
Buying a flash SATA in an enclosure is always going to be more expensive than buying the bare flash chips and putting them directly on your board. By it's physical definition, the flash SATA drive has those chips in it. There's no physical possibility of the cost being higher for the bare chips. Until the SATA enclosure, connectors, etc. can be made to cost a negative amount.
That's called being an 'Entertainment Entrepreneur.' It's been a common role for centuries. Sometimes called an Impresario. There's nothing 'dirty' or 'wrong' about it. Only armchair philosophers and jealous competitors rail on about it and how it ruins their 'pure' art.
Arguably I'm designing the wrong stuff, but to me it seems that 'art' is the only industry that gets away with being so far up it's own arse as to assume that everything these creative types create should be paid for by society forever.
You don't have to pay them anything.
In fact you can completely shun them, and pay them nothing.
But you need to get a clue. 'Shun' means you don't listen to their music or pass copies of it around.
It gives their products additional value, the same reason Microsoft doesn't battle cygwin.
Actually, Microsoft purchased OpenNT (later known as Interix) and then crippled it and threw the carcass out for free as 'Services for Unix.' OpenNT was a very robust and fairly complete POSIX subsystem that ran directly on top of the NT Kernel. Cygwin is a DLL hack that rides up on top of Win32. Microsoft likes cygwin being there because it keeps people outta their kernel. It gives people 'just enough' to take the big incentive off for people to write a real POSIX subsystem like the one in OpenNT that they killed.
Unless an Apple engineer shows up it's hard to guess at the exact reasons they would use one material over another,
It would have to be an Apple marketing dude. The engineers only need to explain why they always get pushed off into the chairs in the back of the room when important design decisions are being made at Apple...
"They don't occupy an unassailable niche in the environment," says entomologist Joe Conlon, of the American Mosquito Control Association in Jacksonville, Florida.
Now you're quoting a professional exterminator, moron. Is there no end to where you'll reach.
Seriously, just suck on your spoonful of soylent green and let the grownups discuss things here.
I guarantee you, if the mosquito became "endangered" tomorrow because someone came up with a fogger that worked too fucking well and they started to vanish from an entire continent, nobody would shed a tear.
Until all the bats started starving, and plants ceased being pollinated (I very much doubt this 'fogger' would only target mosquitoes.)
Then, fuckheads like you would, of course, say the bats and plants are unnecessary.
Stick your spoon in your tub of soylent green and grin at us, moron.
My issue is portability in the software sense. Unless I can read the ebook on any conceivable future reader that I might purchase, I will never buy one. Also, right now I am buying a lot of my books at thrift stores and at HalfPrice Books. Which are both places that the ebook publishers want to drive completely out of the bookselling market.
I think, no matter who says what about 'who shot first' that the Confederacy would have welcomed a team of diplomats from the North coming down to negotigate peace. Hell, they tried and tried to get the European powers to serve that role.
So essentially, the aggressors were the forces from up north that said 'No, you cannot recede from the Union.'
I shot and hit it several times with a BB gun. It twitched a little but ignored it otherwise. Shooting it with a.22 was an option, but it would have meant shooting either at the house or so that the bullet would have passed across the highway we live on.
Well, the article shouldn't imply that the first origins of Mac OS X are NextSTEP without digging a little deeper into the origins of NextSTEP. That's very sloppy work in an article supposedly about 'origins.'
We had to deal with a bold, insane, possibly rabid raccoon on the front porch last week. Believe me, it's scary when the wild animals decide they're not afraid of you at all.
Only if you didn't use it right. You can create Program Manager 'groups' and drag and drop *.doc and *.xls (and any other file extension configured to an app) icons into the groups and have your icons represent the objects (app data files) if you choose. Some of us figured that out.
It was 'slicker' of course to install HP's NewWave, but that just added another layer of croft. Apparently it was good enough to get Jobs wee-wee'd up enough to sue HP, though.
I quit going to LGF because their site operator is a scripting dork. I don't have to wait for long delays in page loads on any other site I visit, why should I have to put up with it there?

even though mercury is liquid metal.
Tungsten is liquid metal, under certain conditions.
Besides, lots of other species have gone extinct, and new ones come into existence. Why does this one matter?
You make it sound like 'pop groups lose popularity and disband, but new ones come on the scene, so there's always good music to listen to.'
It takes thousands and thousands of years for higher species of life to 'evolve' and years for them to be driven extinct.
Seriously, get a clue. Don't just tromp around the thread spewing ignorance. You've had a heck of a trolling session today.

a boxes of books so musty and mildew covered that the finder has trouble breathing.
Books in the attic don't get musty and mildewed. Now, books in the typical slashbot's basement are another matter....

There's Minesweeper for X11 now, too.

And the NeXT team then shitcanned the clowns at Apple who had squandered millions developing their 'Next Generation Operating System.'
Some of us were around to remember the days when the only thing interesting coming out of Apple was slurs against Carl Sagan.

Is // style commenting allowed in Objective-C?
I should install my copy of 1995-era Slackware I guess. It had a complete Objective-C development suite.
it is still alive and well in the embedded market where Intel has no credible entries
Well, other than the fact that even today the 8051 arch still owns a decent chunk of the market, and has a long powerful legacy.
Windows still used the non-OO "Program Manager"
Only if you didn't use it right. You can create Program Manager 'groups' and drag and drop *.doc and *.xls (and any other file extension configured to an app) icons into the groups and have your icons represent the objects (app data files) if you choose. Some of us figured that out.

What about the frickin' brushed alumimum?
I quit going to LGF because their site operator is a scripting dork. I don't have to wait for long delays in page loads on any other site I visit, why should I have to put up with it there?
Since it's printed on every check you send out, why not just post it as a reply to my comment?
