Actually, Apple should be happy people are setting up their own.mac-servers at home. By doing this, these people are helping apple save disk space and bandwith.
And oh, don't forget, one less customer to be pissed off about the.mac outages...
If there is one thing that the towermodel of the powermac isn't, then it's quiet. I used to own a G4/733 but got so fed up with all the noice that I sold it and got an iBook instead.
The G4/733, as all the other Quicksilver macs, has two big fans (three actually, but the third is quite small and doesn't make a lot of noice), one for the PSU and one for the slots. Since the cooling for the CPU on that model is the same as the cooling for the dual 1GHz model, it's possible to disconnect the slot fan and almost reduce the noice level bu half. But that's only if you have ONE harddrive and no other expansion cards but the gfx-adapter.
It worked for me but your milage may vary. I'm a happy iBook owner now since my mac is quiet, small and portable.
No C&D yet. It's been up since the first week in april. I don't if Apple actually cares. It not any secrets posted there but interesting documentation and marketing material which might be fun to watch. Hopefully they will let this one pass even though I'm a bit nervous about it.
As long as Mac OS X doesn't run on Intel, I'm not switching from Linux. There is no way in hell I'm buying a toy computer from apple when I can build my own on PC hardware for half the price.
And I'll stick with NeXTSTEP whenever I want to use the coolest OS ever made.
we're using products from Lucent to connect our entire neighborhood to a fibre-connection. This gives every house in the neighborhood broadband access. The initial fee from the company who sells this service to us is about 200 USD (2000SEK) and then we pay about 25-30/month (250-300SEK) for the service - wireless broadband at 11Mbit/s.
And yes - it's 802.11b.
And yes - we are all operating at different subnets.
And yes - I will have a Linux firewall to protect my LAN at home.
The S.u.S.E distribution is way bigger than RH ever will be, and they are sure as hell not delivering anything that doesn't work properly. That's German craftmanship for you...
In some cases I know this to be true, this is just the case. I won't mention names though but yes - the pressure on magazines and it's editors is massive because of the competition from the internet and websites like/., ARS and others.
.. I used to work fulltime as a test editor for a major networking magazine, and if I mentioned Linux in a negative sentence or wrote a bad review, I got loads and loads of letters with everything from a big 'Fuck you' to 'You're incompetent - get another job!' and the usual 'How much is Microsoft paying you?!'. This is, by the way, a behaviour that one other group of users share with parts of the Linux communitu, and that is large parts of the OS/2 user base... The first 3-4 times, you can handle this but whenever your email is flooded with mean and aggressive stuff, you tend to get fed up by it and either think twice before writing bad stuff about Linux, or not write about it at all.
I think the word "buy" is something of an overstatement when talking about the deal between SCO and Novell. Novell more or less gave Unixware to SCO because they wanted to get rid of it fast, as they wanted with Wordperfect. It's a shame really, because Unixware really rocks.
This is truly an embarrasing moment for any swede when these three clowns mess up... again. On behalf of any other swedish e-commerce project - my apologies.:-)
Again - you could have posted a small note asking for comments before proceeding...that's not too hard, now is it ? I'm sure that the effort is noble and all that.
The point here isn't money or the law, but the fact that it's clearly stated that we as the users own the comments. It had been quite easy for Hemos to post a small note on slashdot asking for comments about the project BEFORE starting to work on it. It's a matter of principle, not trademarks or making money - that's for big stupid companies to mess around with.
Dude, you are way wrong with this one. If any of my comments are featured in that book of yours, then I'll definitly sue. You can't use the statement of individual ownership of every comment just to cover your own backs in case the man comes knocking on your door, you gotta respect every single comment and it's writer... or else - how can I be sure that you won't sell all my, or any others, comments in a book one of these days ? Charity - my ass. Making the slashdot.org brand stronger is what it's about. Maybe you guys should stop thinking about ca$hing in on the./-thing and start thinking about doing something else instead of slashdot... this is getting tiresome.
Hear, Hear! Check out my website as soon as R5 is released - I'm gonna mirror it. And there is one more thing that I really don't get - don't you people ever get TIRED of reinstalling Linux all the time? It's like running Windows... I installed Mandrake 6.2 a while ago and I've upgraded my way ever sience...
Goddamn it! Take your jesus bullshit and shove it up your ass. Who gives a shit anyway ? Get the hell out of here. Go to your church or something and leave us sane people alone...
The real fight isn't about the operating system itself - that is an obsolete way to think. The real fight is about the directory - Novell really couldn't care less if they sold less Netware licenses, but NDS is where the money is in the future. Novell supports all major platforms and vendors with NDS so they can be pretty sure to make money anyhow. And yes - Netware 5.1 rules.
Basiclly, it's a cool and easy way to keep track of everything connected to your network - servers, harddrives, workstations, routers, you name it. LDAP is an lighter version of a directory service, but for *nix-based operatingsystems , NDS is the answer. It's available for Solaris, Linux and HP-Ux, to name but a few. Check it out. Microsoft's gonna get their asses kicked if they think that they can compete against NDS. There is a good reason that Cisco, Bay and a few others dropped their support for Active Directory and choose to work with Novell and NDS instead - Novell came out with NDS like seven years ago, and surely, it didn't work so well at first but you gotta remember that a directory service like NDS is rilly rilly complicated and now that NDS 8 is out, most of the bugs are gone and it works great. Microsoft will never be able to make a working, scalable, stable and secure directory service in it's first release. I wonder why they still haven't showed it...

A TiBook @ 1GHz problably isn't a very good idea. The models running at 800MHz is so hot that it's almost not possible to work with them.

I almost ordered the latest iBook for my wife for her 30th birthday but changed my mind at the last moment and ordered the new iMac instead.

Just take Openstep/Nextstep, slap the new GUI on it and call it MacOS X. No, wait - keep the old Nextstep GUI. It rocks. :)

Get a Psion MX5 or Ericsson MC218 - they do both keyboard and writing...

Looks like you being anonymous gets it in the ass a whole lot often... anklegrabber.
Whatever. The point is : ask first, use material that isn't yours later.

I'm nothing else but totally satisfied with my Nokia 9110 Communicator. It works - period.
As far as I know - isn't NT supposed to be Posix compliant ? I am yet to see any Posix-compliant software to be used with NT 4 though...
