Membership price for what? If you're referring to .mac it was $10 with purchase of the computer, and my understanding was that's the regular annual rate. Not bad at all. Agree with the 2-button mouse comments. The Mighty Mouse (both wireless and wired) don't actually have separate buttons on...

True. Although I would have said "features" instead of "functionality" because "functionality" seems to imply that the feature actually functions. For Windows, this is far from the near-certainty that it is for Mac. I am viewing this site and typing this reply on a Mac because I finally gave...

If Blackle uses "slightly more energy than Google", how can there be a "slight savings" by using it? Doesn't more energy equal more cost? Something doesn't add up here.

Sure, and go ahead and add a note that DVD+X is the mostest superior format above all. :)

So basically several people here are saying that +R works better and/or is more compatible, while the Wikipedia article says that -R should be more compatible with older players. I think that with newer set-top DVD players, it shouldn't be an issue, from what I understand? But I thought that...

I'm not sure if Microsoft is switching back to it entirely, or if it's just for some of their keyboards. They still have a bunch with the "new" layout, as does Logitech. The Apple standard keyboard still retains the traditional layout, although it has its own issues. Does anyone know whether...

Suppose I have a multi-format (8x DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW) drive. Does it make any difference if I use +R or -R media? Is either format more popular or more compatible with set-top DVD players, or more likely to be read in a computer's standard DVD-ROM drive?

I'm pleased to see that Microsoft has returned to making keyboards with the standard layout between the letters and number pad (the Home, Delete, Page Up, etc. keys).

You could call it "bootlicking" for all the difference it would make. :shrug:

Skank? Yes. Ugly? No. Let me clarify by stating that I think she is not hot or physically attractive, nor is she beautiful or cute. She is semi-pretty, but she isn't ugly. On my "people I'd do it with" list, she's nowhere near the top. And I'm fairly certain she thinks she's hotter than...

If "pushing" to you means saying there's nothing wrong with something, then fine, I was pushing LD nearly eight years ago. I'm not going to get into another semantics debate, but to me, "pushing" means trying to persuade people to get something, extolling its virtues, saying it's better than...

Was I ever pushing it? As a video format, Laserdisc is inferior to all other disc-based formats. The discs are 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and give a picture that is noticeably better than VHS and slightly less than standard DVD. As a collectible format, Laserdisc can often be better...

Ban one kind of bomb? Why not just ban all bombs? Why not ban war? Even better, I think warefare should go back to the style of several hundred years ago, with swords, axes, bows & arrows, battering rams, catapults, castles, siege engines, armored horses, boiling oil, etc. Now that was some...

And the Blu-ray copy protection has finally been cracked. :)

You are correct! Pizza Hut is not pizza. Pizza Hut is a place where you can buy pizza. :p

I downloaded this to my home computer about 10 days or so ago. It refused to work. It would not start. Every time I tried to start it, it would immediately crash. I decided to try again on a computer at work, which also runs WinXP Pro SP2, just like my home computer. It ran fine. However, I...

At work...

Hello! I have become an Emergency Medical Technician and am enrolled at a community college to become a Paramedic. I work for a critical care ambulance service that is part of the University of Maryland Medical Center. We bring the very sick or injured patients that other hospitals can't handle...

I'm curious to know what a simple little aluminum boat like that costs. Plus a basic motor. I really have no idea...I mean, I don't know if it'd be more like $500 or $5,000.

Too late: I've switched! :) Well, sort of, anyway. I'm playing around with a MacBook Pro I've borrowed from a friend who won't be needing it for a week or so. So far, I've imported the photos, created an album, and uploaded them. The entire process took only a few minutes and it was pretty...
