Yeah, aren't they building mag-lev wind turbines?

tapper,

to that I say, 150 years of 1-dimensional medical science is paltry put next to 5000+ years of 'tried and tested' accupuncture/pressure (among many other treatments and discoveries of the human mind and body).

DarkLight,

And more to the point, nothing can 'cure' cancer. Modern medicines and radiotherapy only aim to reduce cancerous growths in the body so that you can eek out a few more years, or get back on top of your immune system, depending on how your luck and mental positivity are. To ignore the effect of the mind on the body is folly, but current orthodox cancer treatments take it out of the equation altogether. There is nothing negative about placebo, except that if people realised they didn't need to swallow something to control their bodies they'd be better off in the long run.

So-called alternative therapies aim not to 'fight' battles they can't win, but instead work with the body's own immune system. To batter oneself with radioactivity is a last resort.

What patients and others must understand is that we give ourselves cancer, or at least cancerous growths, as there are damaged (cancerous) cells in everyone at all times, but in healthier people there are less, over which the immune system has control.

Jobs probably has a stressful schedule, and that combined with his anal attitude toward his products and perhaps a poor diet go a long way to explaining his cancer.

Why? similar size, similar weight, similar drives, similar screen, similar price. The PRO is more aptly pitted against the T6x series.

how would you describe a hologram if not as a 3D projection?? Water or otherwise it's still holographic in appearance, which is the only necessary criteria when discussing graphics. Maybe one day they'll do this with a specially tuned electron gun or something...I don't know what I'm talking about.

6 months? ha! bollocks to 6 months. I've been running this thinkpad for 3 years without sending it back, and I expect that still to be the case in a couple of years. meanwhile, my flatmate has had his bacon frying macbook pro sent back back about 3 times in 6 months. as for windows, it is a pain, and I'd love OS X on here, but if you treat it well then it will be fine for...yeah, actually, 6 months, but thinkpads have industry leading support software, which makes it easy to back up and reinstall windows when necessary. basically, f**k everything else and wack ubuntu on there for general stuff, I've heard that many if not most engineers use Linux (who can say for sure?), and use windows only when you need to, thereby limiting its use and inevitable destruction. Apple makes great software to sell their shoddy hardware. Dell makes shoddy hardware because they don't have anything else. IBM designed thinkpads for professionals, so they last, end of. Lenovo seem to be doing an alright job keeping them going, I've heard that build quality is still top of the class as ever. Thinkpad keyboards are like top quality desktop keyboards, no joke. Anyway, when you just look at a macbook keyboard don't you just want to take a knife to it? and the mice?! oh spare me apple's intolerable input devices...

nah Adam, it's like the dude up the page said, these Luxeon LEDs get hot as an LAPD cop's trigger finger.

in retrospect you're actually making quite a funny joke, so I'll shut up now.

I would imagine this would have a negligible affect on total emissions to the climate, since driving becomes more attractive as a result, and traffic is merely evened out, although it probably would aid in clearing up pollution in cities caused by deadlocked cars whose catalytic converters have not yet warmed up in the morning rush to work. A much more sensible approach to clearing up this problem though is to remove cars from city centres and improve public transport systems along the same lines.

I've had an IBM R51 for about 3 years and have had almost no problems, certainly i've never sent it away for repairs. Am i to take it that when i replace this in a year or two i will have to think twice about a thinkpad? this is very disappointing. Are the thinkpads still the most robust laptops or have they been overtaken yet? the comment about the keyboard worries me in particular as i've always been very impressed with this one.

I think people are still emotionally attached to the warm colours of a fire after the sun sets, as it provides a sense of security and allows you to relax. As regards flickering, I have never experienced such problems myself.

Quite frankly I don't see what the problem is anyway, it doesn't take a huge effort to get a warm coloured lamp shade, and given the impending boom in energy saving light bulb sales, there will no doubt be more money put into researching methods of producing warmer looking light with them.
