What frightens me even more than the rising cost of going to college in the states is that fact that I can get a CS or CE from a good engineering school and not be able to find a job once I graduate.
Hopefully things will change before _that_ fear comes true.
It might take small while to transition, but photoshop is still much more at home on the mac and a G5 with 8gigs or ram would probably keep him happy for a couple years
How do they expect any computers if one isn't allowed master slave latches? I know that most flip flops aren't exactly set up like that, but still, it seems like a silly cause.
I've installed linux and BSD a number of times, but I have to say that I haven't really a clue about how to install something such as that driver. Do you know of any places that would explain such a thing? Also, do you know if it is safe yet? I'm worried about beta testing something that might fry my box, because I don't think apple would really want to replace a computer because I stuck some unsupported hack on it.

8gigs of ram is pricy.. 3k for those machines is better than I get with my educational disount, so I'm guessing they got the standard institutional educational discount

what about 8 gigs of ram being expensive is hard to understand? and this is without a monitor
Add in 8gigs of ram and it isn't 2699.. all of their machines had either 4 or 8

It isn't their fault.. I hear a long story on NPR about it a while ago. Universities tried to stay out of the patent game, but companies would take their research and patent it and then charge the university to use it.. researchers having to pay to use their own findings.
The patent system needs to be overhauled, then maybe we can start opening up the Universities again (and give them some more funding too!)
From the price I think they got the standard educational discount, and come on.. they got the first ones off the line and one of the fastest networks in the world for only a few mil, that is a great deal, VT should be proud.
d-: I love mac and own a G5, but you are a silly silly person. Macs have always let you get things done more quickly, but it is pretty recent that we can actually process everything more quickly and cheaply too (-:
I miss the SCSI days though.. I remember being on an PC and wondering "why the heck is it taking so long to transfer files and use the floppy drive". With Macs, I've always been able to get work done, the settings don't change themselves and programs don't mysteriously break. I'm a computer engineering major and I do a lot of graphics, so both are well fulfilled by OSX (though I'm not sure about Xcode.. especialyl the debugger, but I haven't had time to really learn it yet)
I'm guessing that this is actually what happened. They weren't important enough to seek out someone who knew (because after that they would have to ask the person, wait for a response, run the response through legal and marketing, run it through publishing to clean up, back through legal...)
asking for information from companies is not easy, and it isn't usuallt they have pretty good excuses)
I did read it. "declined comment" normally means that the source wasn't considered valid enough to a justify a result.
and you have some third party security company with ties to microsoft saying that he heard a while ago they said they probably weren't going to fix it?

Did you do a clean install?
I think it uses your jaguar network settings when you do an upgrade or archive and install.
Have your tried VLC? It plays almost anything I throw at it (except for crap such as IV50)
I just use VLC, it doesn't play every file, but it at least tells me what codec I need to find. (and it plays most anything)
I have to use qt in classic for IV50 though as it appears that it hasn't been updated to OSX
wait.. isn't alsa oss?
"ALSA is released under the GPL (GNU General Public license) and the LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License)."
am I missing something obvious?
well it would if it hadn't crapped out years ago
IIRC France has some pretty huge problems with disposal though.

Macs come standard with gigabit. And it is cheaper overall. And it is faster overal.
sounds like a pretty good deal, eh?
