Reply to Why Mac OS for Pentium but not Itanium? Seriously. in Apple WinCustomize Forums

I think it's a bad move because Apple could have went with a better and cheaper CPU maker - AMD. How do you know they're cheaper? Intel could have offered them a deal AMD could have never matched. Choosing Intel over AMD I'm sure was an executive decision not based on heat or speed.</f

I guess you missed the fact that in the US Casette and VHS tapes have a surcharge attached? Why they haven't bothered with that for CD-R/Ws and DVD-+R/W/DLs is beyond me, probably mostly greed from RIAA/MPAA, although they're being forced towards it at a rapid pace. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering considering its like beating a dead horse that makes noise every few years. But won't rot away. The core fact is, there is nothing anyone ca

Reply to Anybody use Dogpile as their toolbar? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Some of the sites objected to the fact that the Dogplie site (not the toolbar) collects basic webserver log information such as browser type, ip address, time, date, url requested.

Reply to Should Such Daily Shots Be Allowed? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I find it interesting that one person questioning whether a certain wall is appropriate for WC means that an entire country is "eager to censur". That's great that the wall wouldn't lift an eyebrow in Norway. Would this discussion even be allowed then? By the way, the person who started this topic doesn't appear to live in the US. The problem is
