They should have taken the time to visit the office in alpha centaury. After all they make a living of it, they should be able to spare the little time to the trip.

That's a bit extreme, but totally fine. And will save you a lot since i know Apple pays well thanks to their hold on some markets. Lots of people refuse to pay taxes for similar reasons. just don't do it before trying other methods, like wr

Hope you felt good upvoting all those articles stating how ridiculous patent law is FROM YOUR DAMN APPLE DEVICES Time to vote with your wallet is way overdue. And while you're at it may think about the Sony stuff you own.

You guys hijacked a thread about a jet engine that doesn't even use traditional fuel. get with the program :D

but the input is 1000C, then it cool down to -700C, then the turbine compress to some 100C, then it mix with fuel and burn. why not bypass the turbine at that point and take it easy on the cooling?

Linux is no silver bullet. The same (sorry to bite on stereotypes, but I've seen a few) clueless government contractors that did a poor job with windows will do as bad with Linux. Then next year they will switch to openbsd (because all they

Why would you cool down to later compress (and heat up again)? Sounds like a shotgun solution to the passer by such as myself Edit: it is a shotgunsolution... They just added an old turbine after the cooler component to test it.

reading hacker news is a pain with that browser. but to be honest, HN is one of worst 'simple' design sites that i've ever seen. i have no idea how but it breaks zoom on most browsers and makes moving the cursor inside the text area painful

You are wrong. After getting a special number ( 1-800-288-2020) i was able to order dsl from att without a landline contract and phone taxes from California. Nothing. Catch is, the advertised price of $25/mo for 6mbps only last one year, an

So, there's no space in a mac for a ethernet port? what's the advantage or serializing a pci-e bus into some 4 or so pins? They must be certain that ethernet port is a thing of the past.
