You don't buy a mac to run a server, you buy it to be creative
Are you kidding me? You BUY a Mac to BE creative? Anybody who actually believes that must not have a creative bone in their body if they don't understand that mindless mass market consumption doesn't fuel creativity. A painter buys a brush to express creativity, not to "be creative." And a truly creative painter doesn't need that brush, certainly not one with a shiny white logo on it. Picaso would not be more or less creative if you gave him a Mac instead of a brush, and giving him a PC instead of a Mac would have been outright irrelevant. The Beatles, who recorded Sgt. Pepper on 4-track tape, would not have been creatively hindered by using Cubase on Windows over Garage Band on OSX, even if they did get BSoDs everyday, which they wouldn't unless they were running Win98.
I've seen the way some of these types of bionic body parts work by recognizing brain patterns associated with specific movements. I wonder how far off this technology is from allowing musicians to compose music on synthesizers just by thinking about the notes. People like me who are far better at composing than playing would be able to make some pretty incredible music with an ability like that. And people like Dorian Cox would have a much better shot at playing music again, because let's face it, guitar is hard enough when your hands are slightly cold, much less completely numb and paralyzed. There's only so much you can do with a bionic hand.
When you buy a new book, it's not as if the author prints it out at his home and hand delivers it to yours. Many others put their resources into making the book available. So the question becomes more complicated than "is the author being compensated?" You should think about the publishers, printers, deliverers, retailers, etc. If you don't think any of them deserve your money, then by all means, download the pirated ebook. As a college student, I personally don't mind seeing used book stores stay in business.
Staying with McDonalds, there are plenty of things IT professional can do while they're computer's boot up: mop the floor, sanatize the toiletseat, preheat the hamburgers for later that afternoon. Once the computers are warmed up, but them under the heat lamp so you don't have to warm them again.
This is why I don't deal with those Nigerian scammers. I deal directly with the Prince of Nigeria himself. We're so close that I"m sending him money to unfreeze his dead aunt's $1 billion fortune, of which I'm going to receieve half.
Well after being called unpatriotic, pro-terrorism, anti-freedom, and anti-American for eight years because I disappoved of my president, I, for one, welcome our new Holy Overlord.
You'll never be able to keep up. Just wget the Internet on Nov 4. I'll be too busy to myself, so if it wouldn't be too much trouble to email a copy in a zip file, that would be great.

I didn't realize scalability was analogous with free unlimited bandwidth. I'll keep that in mind.

Congratulations. One idiom down, over 9000 more to go. Keep fighting the good fight, sir. As for me, I could less.
You use Google to find Yahoo? "Yo dawg, I heard you like searching so I put a search engine in your search engine so you can search while you search."
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

you can't just stick a book in a magical converter and it change to an e-book.
You'd be surprised. Magic has come a long way.

No, I'm not going to make that list ... but you can.
If Scott Aaronson was hinting at himself here, which I assume he was, it seems that somebody just took the bait.
Well I bet the OS boasts one visually impressive BSoD.

I've tried to relieve my pent up agression by on posting it on Youtube, but the audio preview always makes me feel bad about myself.
I would have thought that hundreds of years of dogs tracking people would have proved this
Hundreds of years? Palin? Is that you?

Well at this time four years ago, Kerry was ahead in the polls, so why would Republican'ts be smug about that? http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2004/Pres/Maps/Nov01.html

The problem is that: "the Internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes."
It should have been built more like a truck. "Like a rock!" if you will.
Old Ted had better be watching his ass, lest his own tubes get clogged.
I just wonder what these kids are gonna do with all that pointless trivia about Star Wars and The Simpsons.
