You guys have obviously never lived next to a busy street. Quiet is GOOD! Noise is BAD! This sounds an awful lot like a "red flag law [see Wikipedia]."

I think he meant "weigh." I just got finished building a new computer inside of a Lian Li PC-P50 black anodized aluminum case. 14.5 lbs. $180. Nice looking but not artsy. Certainly won't end up in the MOMA. Well ventilated, easy to add parts, mostly thumb screws. And lots of room for oversize video cards and the like. Why anyone would pay $700 for steel is beyond me. Guess it will make a good boat anchor when it reaches the end of its useful life.
"You seem upset."
Not having a clue will do that to you....
I used to drive a Mazda RX2, which was much quieter than the average car, and it was funny to drive up behind pedestrians walking down the middle of a side street or someone on a bicycle before they realized there was a car behind them. So, why didn't someone have this bright idea then? Could it be because these new quieter cars are electric?
Clearly the school is afraid of being sued when some kid keels over from too much exertion.
Why are we so hung up on making a 2D display look 3-dimensional? Why not just create a 3D display? (I realize "just" was a bit disingenuous.)
Off topic? Huh? Who gives these characters mod points? Let's see how persistent the CIA's minions here are.
I'm still trying to figure out the proper method to get the Apple salesman to tear himself away from the young blond long enough to talk to me. Guess I'll have to stick with my new home-built AMD X4 machine.
If only they had had these kinds of defenses at the Pentagon on 9/11. Oh, wait...
I think the analogy you are missing is the one that involves having a license to read. After all, it's a lot more efficient that burning books. Just give everyone a test for proper thinking before you give them a license to use this "dangerous" medium. You think Kennedy was killed by someone other than J Edgar Hoover's man in the CIA? You think WTC 7 looks suspiciously like a controlled demolition? No reading for you, sonny.
I'm not sure I'd call shoveling elephant poop a job....
What you are missing is that Apple is not selling steak, it's selling sizzle. When you can walk into an Apple Store and all you see are monitors, with wires running into holes in the counter where the mysterious computers are hidden, you begin to understand that the standard Apple consumer has no idea what a computer is beyond some kind of fancy interactive TV set.
From what I saw at the Apple Store recently, people are not only willing to pay more, they are willing to plunk down their cash for a computer they haven't even seen.
There are no "real" journalists anymore. If there ever were. Ask yourself, who broke the news that the sinking of the Maine was an inside job? Was it some historian 100 years later? How about the Reichstag fire? Did the "journalists" report that for what it was at the time? Forget 9/11. It'll be a century before anyone in the mainstream has the guts to call that what it was. "Journalists" just report the official line, no matter how absurd it is.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
