I get more grey screens of death than i do bsod on the 100's of dual boot snow leopard/win 7 iMacs where I work. And that's with the 64 bit bootcamp drivers that apple insists will fail with 64bit windows on anything other than a Mac pro.
No, that's an inference, not an implication, and it's an incorrect one.
I was referring to the implication on the part of the submitter. "There are speculations that, fearing al-Qaida realize their courier may have been tracked and move Osama, the US administration accelerated their plan and attacked the target site over the weekend."
Why else wait for over two years? Maybe they were getting good intelligence on the rest of the network by watching the head, or maybe they were trying to work out a deal with Pakistan. But political maneuvering makes a lot more sense.
But you're clearly not interested in reality, so we expect this of you.
Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have responded to a Troll.
I knew mono was bad news when I found out that Suse/opensuse's automatic update daemon was mono-based (and hence why it hung after running more than a week (or day, I forget which). I had to set up a cron job to make it restart on a regular basis lest it do nothing.
The implication is that Obama knew where Osama was in 2008 or slightly later, but did nothing until his Campaign 2012 poster child was about to escape.
I turned it off and went with the old style. I'll take a 5 minute wait between posts any day before trying to

And yes, the posts lower in the chain would often look like that with the most recent javascript fiasco. I have no idea whether it's still that ugly.
Actual hardware temperature control (so the iMac doesn't commit heat death on a grey screen of death, white screen, or net boot)
Real wake on lan, like the big boys. You know, send a magic packet and it wakes from an off state. Barring this, at least allow a wake-time that doesn't rely solely on MacOSX (if you boot into windows and shut down, the scheduled wake up currently is removed)
larger fans. There's no good reason to use those jet turbine fans when a slightly more open back and a few 120mm fans would provide better (and quieter) airflow
a case lock that prevents RAM from being removed or the front glass. What's the point of setting a security mode password in nvram if taking out the RAM resets it and that can't be prevented?
If my parents selected a mate based on mental abilities and thus I have high mental abilities should I have to be drugged so that I cannot exceed the mental abilities of the average?
Of course. Although if your name is Harrison Bergeron then nothing can stop you.
No need for the "found mp3" scenario. IIRC, the Sony rootkit opened up remote exploits. Listening to a Sony CD on a windows server (without autoplay turned off!?) would be asking for trouble. I wish it were true though; it sounds so poetic.
Yeah, I've ranted about Sony before with great vigor but have still purchased several Sony products after swearing to stay away. Because, every once in a while, they produce the exact product that I want which outshines the competition in some way.
Every once in a while, Sony makes something that I want, but I want not to be screwed by Sony more. If they ever make anything I need, and a competitor makes something that pales in comparison, bt works the way I need with a little fiddling, then I'll buy the lesser product. If the item is unique to Sony and I merely want it, then I'll do without.
Japanese news sources clearly show the Japanese people cheering for the giant monkey. They are happy that the monkey won. Also: giant monkeys can apparently swim.
omg people quit saying this, its not a fucking decade old
Then why does it have only 512MB RAM? What computer from even five years ago doesn't come with 1GB RAM minimum? What computer from six to nine years ago doesn't have broken siblings which have had RAM scavenged? I remember using a 32bit system with 4GB of RAM (only 3.5GB addressable since it had "big" video memory) a while back because we had so much spare RAM lying around.
and what the hell? do you REALLY need a quad i7 with 8 gigs and 3 video cards to run fucking outlook, word
No, but if you're asking for a web browser, it would make sense to want security updates along with the functionality of a modern browser. Otherwise, you would have gone with links (security) or Netscape 4.7 (small footprint). Since increasing RAM is the easiest solution, it stands to reason that your IT department is far too constrained by budget or red tape. My guess is red tape since only the dumbest of CEO's wouldn't spend a "one time" cost of $50 to multiply a worker's productivity. And since it's red tape related, if [Federal Agency] takes a while to rubber-stamp the computer hardware, I'm betting installing your own browser software is a fire-able offense (because [Federal Agency] hasn't OKed it yet).
The reality was that the president wanted personal revenge because he blamed Saddam for Daddy losing out on a second term.
If there was a personal revenge reason for GWB wanting Saddam's head, it was because Saddam attempted to assassinate GHWB. Desert Shield/Storm was wildly popular compared to Gulf War II. GHWB lost because of domestic issues ("Read my lips..."). Much more likely is that Top Brass thought Iraq could be stabilized quickly (being a more technologically advanced country), and that Afghanistan would be stabilized by 2008, so that the USA would have two friendly countries with US military bases as a vice-grip on Iran. It's 3-4 years behind schedule, but still on track. Notice how pundits are now saying that Bin Laden was hiding in Iran for a few years?
Hey, I am just glad that He was the one who since last August has personally overseen, analyzed intel, and, finally, authorized the strike which took Osama out. What a guy. And He is so humble about it.
Did you really just capitalize your self-referential pronoun in the same sentence as pronouns referring to Him? tsk tsk.
As someone pointed out on the news: This comes just in time for the 10-year memorial ceremonies. Close enough to tie-in a few months from now, but early enough that it doesn't overshadow the ceremonies themselves. ie, they've known where he was for a while and just now struck.
You may not be aware of this, but Sony is on the brink of bankruptcy since at least 15 years.
In 2004, I already got told by Sony employees, that they were 10 years in that struggle. Not much has change since then.
It's really not a big kick that's needed to kill them.
This, for example, could already be it, if one other bad thing happens.
And I have no doubt that the bad work quality is a result of bad morale inside the company because of having to live with a very tight belts for so long.
Darn you! Now if I short Sony stock, it's insider trading.

When deliberate lies are spread as "fair and balanced news" from formerly reputable news organizations
I'm confused. Are you talking about Fox, CBS, CNN, or MSNBC?
I know a few people at second hand game stores. They had to stop buying used ps3s. Apparently people were only selling them, not buying them.
(Score:-1, Interesting)
That, in and of itself, is interesting.
Good to know. I'll probably jump ship from Ubuntu back to opensuse now that Unity has come to town.
I should have just said flat panel. The big problem for most gamers is the loss of the CRT.

And then things took a turn downhill, I could speculate why but I doubt we'll ever really know.
It happened right about when you purchased a plasma TV, right? There you go.

Back in 2007, Fujitsu had a really nice 10" convertible that wasn't too heavy.
Actually, it's a desktop.
On the exterior. If it's anything like the previous iMacs, it's built with more than a few laptop parts.

Who the heck spends $2500 on a tablet PC?
Someone who bought a tablet PC, not an iPad or Xoom. It's a miniaturized laptop with a flip-around touchscreen. Expensive hardware.

That's only VE day. You forget about VJ day when a giant monkey the Americans stole from some jungle island killed a giant lizard/dinosaur thing.
And was only successful due to a chance electrical storm powering the monkey up (because everyone knows giant monkeys utilize lightning attacks).
