Yeah, this article belongs on SlashDong

Sorry, I didn't mean that they don't work -- I meant to point out the fact that the MS Office was simply ported to Mac. Unless of course you managed to find an alternative to them?

................ Modern computers can compute around gigaFLOPS (I think), and supercomputer are teraFLOPS -- thats about 10^9 for usual computers and supercomputers are around 10^13 (someone please correct me, I know I've made a mistake somehwere there...)

Yes I'm surprised to say that no one here -- coinsidering we're all nerds who suppoedly read -- had worried at the chance of a Digital Fortress TRANSLTR-type supercomputer..

Chances are when they say "linux" they're referring to the unix coding--aka not MS-DOS.

Exactly. You buy a Mac for more of a life-style choice; its not great for working although it manages, but people buy them because they're simply easy.
Mac had stressed this quite a lot from the campaigning but everything you buy comes from Apple and so it all works seamlessly.
HAHAHAhahha. People buy Macs simply because they are stylish--so buying one and putting Windows on it or putting OS X on a PC is utterly defeats the purpose of the OS-es.

Although, I'm a "PC/Windows" person because of the plethora of applications, games (and not to mention viruses and trojans!) that are avaliable for them.
Its like Firefox and Safari--you buy the former because YOU can customize it the way you want it to, and you use Safari because it already suits a certain style that you'd prefer. (Meh, bad analogy there >.)

Yes..
BUT
It DOES use the GPU to accelerate many of the features within the CS4. But yeah, technically its not a game.

To be honest I can usually be a little uninformed about the RIAA and DRM and whatnot...
But come fu*king on! Why the hell would you spend millions of dollars on protection like this?? That money could sure as hell be spent elsewhere, since not only could the rest of the world use it but also even the USA themselves...

Is it possible that Apple actually hijacked TraceMonkey from Firefox? Yes I know Firefox is open source and that TraceMonkey is too, but still--any chances of it happening?
Here's the link to a Lifehacker article I saw a while ago...

NOOO!!!
There's a theory (or something) that says that positron--stuff left over from the stripped-protons colliding--are actually happening quite frequently in nature when they are brought to Earth by the Sun's -thingys-, and so this artificial recreation will not form a Black Hole.
Thank you Popular Science :D

Yes thanks guys (Moridneas+SputnitPanic)
I would give you the "insightful" remark under you comment score but I can't seem to figure out how to do it :[
Then again its probably only moderators who have the power to do that...

*Below my post*
marnues, I'm just pointing out the fact that not many people actually know of the Ottoman Empire and that Turkey still gets a whole lot of crap about its name.

*Replying up here so people can see it*
You know I'm getting very sick of all these crap "Turkey.. OH WOW YUMMY!" jokes that everyone seems to find SO funny.
I'm half Turkish in fact, and what a lot of people here probably don't know is that the Ottoman Empire was one of the largest Empires in its time (chances are I am wrong--I'm open to criticism)
So before you make some witty comment about stuffing a Turkey, please think of something more "insightful" to say than that.
And think about it, an 11,000 yeah old temple is very old indeed.

The Japanese people all wear those finger-less gloves anyways, so this has probably worked out quite well for them :] And two years until the Western world caught on to this~

Haha no offense conchur but I think you missed the joke xD Then again wisty could have actually meant hack as in the literal term of severing the finger.....

What the hell is this? Just because Lego doesn't have a patent for it, does it mean that everyone can now make their own Loge just because of that? Seriously, this is ridiculous...
