Nokia has been in the smart phone market for a very long time.
I think we can all agree that Nokia's meat and potatoes has been in dumb phones. They are present in the smart phone market, but this merger if you will with Windows is going to be their attempt to really recreate themselves in a market they were not very successful in.

I'll have to wait for my old MBP from 2006 to die on me (hopefully after an iMac line refresh) to enjoy that game and others (L4D2) :(

Most people wouldn't steal food here, but if violent hoarding can be considered 'looting', then I would say the possibility is high under similar circumstances. By 'violent hoarding' I mean disrespecting one-per-customer policies and cutting in lines with daddy's shotgun on the back. People here are easily freaked out by the crisis-loving media (don't get me started about the swine flu in 2009), and we have very liberal laws on firearms compared to the rest of Europe.
That sounds pretty minor compared to the US. Might I suggest a visit to LA, Chacago, NYC or large southern city so you can get a sense what goes on here?

when it comes to the "survival of the fittest", it may well be that the "fittest" is a person who can work well with other people within a social environment
Exactly.
Adults that can survive on their own.
Do you honestly think that the whole concept of society came about thousands of years ago because of coincidence? Or because there just wasn't enough room on the planet for every family to be isolated and self-sufficient? In terms of almost every single conceivable situation, humans can do more together than they can alone. There is no weakness in relying on each other in times of prosperity or catastrophe - in either situation people can achieve more as a tight-knit, empathetic group. Where the group falls apart is when the whole "gotta get mine" and "screw that family, I have to look out for my own spouse/kids" mentalities enter into it.
In the USA, I would argue that we treat each other like **** even under normal conditions a lot of the time. The absolutely inspiring thing about the Japanese (and what I assume was the point of this thread) is that they seem to have not sunk to our level, even in the darkest, most panic-filled, survival-mode scenario imaginable. Their culture is surely imperfect, but even if this story is exaggerated and sugar-coated, it would still be amazing even as half-truth.
A country used to looting other countries, should not be surprised when it happens at home.
Oof. The truthfulness of that stung a bit. ;)

I would have skipped school today or at least come down with some food poisoning at lunch. Where's your commitment!
It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

Thought I would post my folding setup as I have a computer on loan for a few months:
Folding with:
Rig 1:
-AMD Phenom x4 945 overclocked to 3.75ghz
-Currently saving up for a 460gt or something (suggestions?)
Rig 2:
-Laptop
-Intel i7 Q720 at 1.6ghz
-Nvidea mobile 220 or something like that.
Rig 3:
-Intel i7 920 at 2.8ghz
-Nvidea 280gtx
-This one is on loan and I cannot overclock it :(

#1 feature: The xserve is small and takes little rack space
#2 redundnet power supplies
#3 disks and power supplies are front servicable (these are the thing that break all the time)
#4 Bundled with server version of OSX
#5 It comes with an option for no graphic card.
#6 Lights Out managment (see #5 above)
Of the above I bet #6 and #1 are the most populare features
Here is soething that competes with the xserve
http:http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t1000/
Notice they talk abut "power comsumption" and "compute density" something that only someone running many dozens or hundreds of these would care much about.
If yu realy want an xserve and can't afford one. I'd suggest buying a 1U rack mount PC case putting an ASUS mainboard inside of it and installing BSD UNIX. A Mac without a graphic card and with no mouse or keyboard is just a UNIX box.
The Niagra-based Sun servers aren't even close to the same as an Xserve. Maybe an X2200:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x2200/
Regardless, Xserves are aimed at the media crowd/HPC crowd. They've never targetted anything larger than small-business/workgroup usage in terms of serving anything except media. That's how it has been, and how it will be for some time more.
If you want real servers, go Sun and use Solaris (or if you're too much of a weenie, Lihnucks).

This was exactly what I was thinking! But I did it anyway. 93 deg. F to 114 deg. F.
With all due respect, isn't that a firmware DOWNGRADE?

Enough about all that... all the juicy stuff is in the leopard release. While I doubt we will jump to OS 11 in january, this underpinnings thing sounds interesting.
The thing that gets me :eek: is the 3d capabilities. A 3d dock? A 3d expose? A 3d filesystem viewer? or just a simple 3d affect used when, i dunno turning on?
I really wanna know!!!
I also wanna know what these half dozen or more main features are, In .4 it was dashboard that apple showed off, i just can't think of anything that would be so... cool.
I also wonder what these business features are... Hopefully a new iWork included in the system, a mistake Microsoft made early on.

The prices for e-equivalents of established magazines is just unfeasible. Even with Apple taking 30% of the cut, it would still be profitable to just lower the sale price. E-sales mean less resources (ie paper, ink), lower transport costs, and less % to the store who sold the physical magazine. Keeping the magazines at print prices is pure gouging, and the slow sales reflect that.
Talk about unfeasbile. I'm not sure any of the claimed statements here about economics have any connection to reality.

I think Apple blew it with the new iPod Shuffle. They should have kept the old form factor but put in a small LCD display to show song titles and elapsed time.

Dell Precision T3500
Intel Xeon W3530 2.8GHz
3GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC
256MB ATI FireMV 2260
1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Price: 1389$
Mac Pro
Intel Xeon W3530 2.8GHz
3GB 1066MHz DDR3 ECC
1GB ATI 5770
1TB 7200rpm hard drive
Price: 2499$
The ATI FireMV 2260 costs 120$ on Amazon so price wise it is similar to ATI 5770. You can add a lot beefier GPU and still save a fortune compared to Mac Pro.
it should be noted that the Dell price includes a discount , which apple never seems to do.

I wonder how much these dudes got paid for the leaks. However much, it wasn't worth it.
One way to look at it, if it was a high amount, say, $1m, would you rather your family be rich off the commission you got while you're in jail, or be poor with them outside?
