Apple Notebooks Actually Cheaper

I did a little comparison to see how Apple's new MacBook compares with equivalent PC laptops. So I went to TigerDirect.ca and looked for laptops with the Centrino Core™ Duo Processor. Then I took the cheapest one and configured it to the specs of my MacBook configuration.

• 2.0 GHZ Centrino Core™ Duo Processor.
• 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM.
• 100 GB SATA Hard Drive.
• DVD/RW Drive.

The Systemac PC: $2,061.
The Apple MacBook: $1,749.00.

They both use the same Intel GMA 950 graphics, the exact same processor, the display is the same size, while Apple's is wider, has a built-in iSight video camera, and more software bundled with it.
But the Systemac is slightly lighter being 0.45 pounds lighter than the MacBook, but I'd hardly notice that.
The MacBook is thinner but overall larger.

At least for myself, this debunks the claim that Mac's are more expensive. There's just no trace of that in this case.

Canadian Gun Registry, Safety or Control?

Liberal MP John Godfrey says the registry cost more money than at first thought, and knows his party will be blamed. But he says the issue isn't money, it's public safety.

"The most important point is why we established it in the first place, which was to make Canada safer, so we would know where guns were and who owned them," he said.

I just have one question. Is it really public safety these guys are after or is it control they long after?

The gun registry does not help a bit when it comes to public safety. Who really thinks someone who wants to use a gun for an illegal purpose will actually register it. Anybody knows how easy it is to get a gun without having to license it, should know that the gun registry only oppresses those who already obey the law, and at the same time makes it easier for those who break the law, to get away with it as not so many good people have guns in order to stop them.

Those liberal people love to make half-baked, dimwitted, and ludicrous things sound good to the public in order to gain personal support.

Why is Music Important?

Why is music important? It's something that is seen my most people I've talked to as something a lot like food. Some people have a taste for that while others have a taste for that. And I agree. Music is a lot like food. There is bad food and there's good food. For example I'd say rhubarb soup with the leaves and all would be considered bad. In fact you'd get sick from it.
Now rhubarb stems chopped up and made into a salad would be considered good food. Good for your body.

Some people might not have a taste for either of the dishes mentioned, but somebody else might. Does that mean it's good?

Take smoking cigarettes for example. Everybody knows it's unhealthy (read bad) but some people do it because they have developed a taste for it. Does that mean it's good? No.

But for some reason a lot of these people believe everybody has a taste for different music and it's all good. These people are also, usually addicted to poison.

Music has power. It controls the emotions and effects your Spirit. Play a certain kind of music and you can be inviting an evil spirit. Play another kind and you could be inviting a peaceful spirit. Play another kind and you could be inviting a spirit that will cause you to jump cliffs and commit suicide.
You may observe this at will.

Just a food can make you sick or keep you healthy, music is exactly the same way. You choice of music effects your mental and emotional health.
And just as it is possible to become addicted to that which is unhealthy, it is possible, and common for people to become addicted to unhealthy, if not wicked music. Just as one must go on a fast to regenerate oneself. You must go through a mental cleansing over time, in order to get your body used to that which is good once again.

The effects are amazing.

What is good music? First, follow your heart. In the most literal sense. Does the beat follow the rhythm of your heart beat?
Second, make sure the melody is foremost, then harmony, and lastly rhythm.
Third, does the music bring honour to your Creator? Does it lift your spirit?

Because of This!

Why do I like Firefox? Because unlike Safari, you type in a keyword and it automatically finds the web site you are looking for using Google's "I'm feeling lucky" feature.
Why? Because with the tap of a key I can find whatever I want on the page in a split second as I type, unlike Safari where I have to tap twice the amount of keys and then use a dialog to slowly find what I want.

Why do I like Mac OS X Terminal? Because before the application even launched it already catches what I'm typing and inserts into standard output. This way by the time the Terminal application window is open, "cd Music; ls -g" is already inserted into the command line interface.

Why do I love God? Because when I went astray, he still liked {loved} me and wanted me back!

My Mac is Fixed

I have finally fixed my iMac--by purchasing a MicroNet external Firewire hard drive, and using it as my main hard drive instead of the internal disk. Why? Because my iMac's internal hard drive has some very wierd problems where it will make a beeping sound and nothing will work at all. When it's the boot volume the whole OS will simply lock up.

At least I've finally been able to point it down to the hard drive or IDE interface system.
