I'm not stupid, thanks; and I'm from the UK.
I'm regretting commenting on Joystiq now, I didn't realise the extent people would defend something that has become relevant to them for the sole purpose of rebuking me.

You are not a tree-hugger for buying a Prius, you are perhaps a deluded tree-hugger who has been fooled by marketing to think that this car emits kittens and seals from the exhaust.

My point is simply not to believe the marketing and name.
Yes, Nuclear power is clean; but Toyota would have you believe that the car is "green" and *doesn't* damage the environment, when this is patently false. All cars damage the environment, some less than others. There is no such thing as a "green" car, at all. If everybody went out and bought one of these, the world would still be doomed, even more so :)

No. The batteries in the car require massive environmental damage to produce (Worse over the life time of petrol cars).
Where do you think the electricity comes from to charge this thing? Fossil fuels and Nuclear power.

This is faux-green marketing. The car itself is an environmental death machine.
If you want to save trees, get a bicycle.

1.2 Inches at the fat end is *not thin*.
A Macbook Pro is 1" thick throughout. Something that is fat at one end is still going to require that thickness in your bag, so you're not really saving anything.

It's light, definitely; but not truly thin.

So, does this mean you can change the RAM back and forth in the VM and not have it deactivate? Or run two hardware profiles so that you can boot Vista in Bootcamp, /and/ a VM?

Because that's all that matters, really.

When you go to the cinema, and pay for the premier screens, you get a bigger screen, nicer chairs and all, but you don't go complaining to the projectionist that your film didn't come with more pixels! The point here is that HD has failed because people have already payed the HD tax on the equipment, they then should have access to those extra pixels at no extra cost, because it's not a different "version" of the film, it's not a different cut - it's simply the data that matches their equipment.

The industry is treating HD as something that is more vaulable because it has more pixels, which is entirely the wrong way of looking at it. Customers want bigger screen sizes, and are happy to pay for that, but they don't care about more pixels, because most either can't see the difference, or don't have their equipment and cables configured correctly to even display HD. They think HD, means "big-screen".

What, you mean this theme?

Speaking of the Commodore 64, check out the details of the "Stone Oakvalley's Authentic SID Collection" http://www.6581-8580.com/ an automated system of two C64's hooked up to a PC, recording 24/7 for several months converting 30'000 C64 tunes into MP3s!

On Windows, I hated shareware with a passion. I would go out of my way to avoid having to pay for anything. Software was something to be hoarded. Things could not be more polar on the Mac. Mac software is often of such high quality, and with great attention to detail, that you _want_ to pay for it. With no spyware, nor viruses on the Mac either, you are not in a constant state of paranoia about what you are installing onto your machine.
