Excuse me, but I have been following this thread and I can't miss the fact that you're ignoring all the proofs and arguments that people more informed than you are providing.
I'm trying to find the button to mark you as a retard so I don't have to read your nonsense again, but apparently it's not there anymore. Where's the option to ignore your posts?
uh, try less than 200$

That box isn't just MacOS X. It comes with iLife and iWork. This is the one you wanted ($29).
Apple does not sell OS X without accompanying hardware. You can grab an OS X upgrade disc for a nominal fee, but it is just that, an upgrade version.
You're wrong. The Snow Leopard DVD is a full install disc that you can install on a clean hard disk.
Why shouldn't Apple have the ability to specify conditions of sale.
I have no objection to them doing so. All they have to do is present the conditions prior to completion of the purchase...
You mean, like they are doing NOW by telling everybody this before they release MacOS X 10.6.2?
...few shots later, police comes in and shoots the camera-head guy; blood is splashed on the screen.
That is not true. Yes, the annoying camerahead guy appears on the screen doing silly mime-like gestures, then there come the police sirens and flashlights, but you can't actually see any police, and of course no shooting or blood are involved.
Please don't repeat like a parrot everything you hear.
... because it's not practical to carry-around 100 foot long transmitting antennas with your phone.
Why not?

If we can get all our enemies to paint their tanks in mirrors, I think we can declare success.
That will make them immediately visible, and we can take them out with conventional weapons easily enough.
If you don't know where the tanks are (they're not visible) then the laser can't target them, the enemy doesn't have to worry about this laser destroying them, and therefore, they're not going to wrap them in mirrors.
Now, there is a company that converts macbooks to table pcs.
Like, putting them on a desk? Where can I get one?
Name all your machines "Eric".
And here it is:
Monday: bought Dell Mini netbook.
Monday night: installed Ubuntu, used it all week.
Saturday: install Windows 7 RC, used it for an hour, bluescreened.
Now: reinstalling Ubuntu.
I had to pay:
So yes, it was 5 months paid in advance, two of them upfront rent, two more lost, and one that will be refunded when I move out (assuming no repairs are needed when I leave). But depends on the place anyway.
OR
Pay $5000 for a 30 m2 apartment, share it with 5 other people, so you can pay the rent, and act like it's totally normal.
Not true. More like $800/month for a nice 40 m2 apartment, for myself alone. Oh, and that price includes 30Mbps fiber optics. Unlimited and unfiltered, of course.
It's also probably worth noting that our IT-job salaries are much higher here than they would be if we were working in the USA.
According to whois, you live in Japan.
You took the time to check the whois info of my domain. You REALLY should have taken a look at my site too. Then you would have seen that I'm not Japanese. I'm Spanish, and quite happy living here.
Not counting myself, there are 10-12 other non-Japanese sitting close to me right now (we're around 70 people on this floor). But perhaps this is a bad example, since after all I'm working for an American company.
Most of my friends here are foreigners, many of them American. And so far I haven't heard anything about any of them having any issues here, just the opposite.
You might want to try getting your geography straight- NYC is in NY, not Massachusetts.
My geography is fine, thank you. I stayed in Boston / Massachusetts when I was visiting the MIT.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
