If a chair is thrown in Redmond, and no one is there to see it, does another one get thrown?
vista
NOUN:
A distant view or prospect, especially one seen through an opening, as between rows of buildings or trees. Well finally, Microsoft creates an OS that lives up to it's name. People like to see Vista as far away from themselves as possible.

What are you using to deploy the image? The same external boot drive?
So after you take the image, you then pass the external HD around to the other 24 Macs (25 in a lab in our case) and boot each one and push the image back to them? I use more then one external hard drive in this case. We actually created an image of a stripped down osx install (800megs, anything further and I would have been getting ridiculus) for easy external HD prep. Just duplicate the image to however many external discs you feel you need, then go image crazy. I would also reccomend that you multiply the bottles of Rum in this instance, as it does tend to run out halfway through... As for the rest, I feign ignorance. (Read: I don't have the foggiest clue)

Why is the rum always gone? *stumble* Oh, thats why...
I work in a K-12 Education district (primarily apples) and we have noticed a few quirks if you have been using non-intel apples and are changing to intel apples.
To start, you want to create a GUID Partition Table on your external drive. This will allow the drive to boot from an intel mac. The older "Apple Partition Map" will not boot from an Intel, so this is the foundation step.
Once you've got that ready, you will want to use Carbon Copy Cloner from Bombich to make your image(s) onto your external drive. I would second the earlier discussed notion of using parallels as it has worked well for both our tech savvy, and not so tech savvy employees. (Read: Parallels doesn't require a computer degree to use)
Install as small a copy of OSX as possible onto the external drive. This will allow you to boot from the external drive, run Carbon Copy Cloner or NetRestore (whichever poison suits you best) and then deploy the image(s). Having OSX bootable from the external drive will also enable you to make any partition changes you need on the mac's hard disk.
Standard imaging practices apply, run your updates, install any software you intend to have on every machine, and repair permissions on the disk before making your final image. Rum is optional, but highly recommended, as it can make the time spent waiting for the image to complete fly by.

Try opening a command line and typing "pkzip c:\mydocu~1\pictures\pictures.zip c:\mydocu~1\pictures\*.*"
I hear you can make many files into one, so long as you keep the files names limited to 8 charecters plus extension!

On the other side of it, I've seen parents "teach" their kids how to "hold their likker" and that's uglier than the hypocrisy.
Hey, if I don't have a table near the recliner, whats wrong with having my kid stand there and hold my beer for me!?
for me to setup windows XP to the way I like it with updates, patches, utilities, codecs, and game installs. I usually start installing in the afternoon with a beer in my hand, and switch to whiskey and 7up later. As the evening closes in I find myself crashing more frequently then the computer and end up going into sleep mode and finishing the next day.
My boot comes in suppository form, but only for you...
I work for a K-12 school district in California and this year, we probably used MORE energy turning on all the computers early to patch them before the staff came in. If there are ANY benefits to be seen, it's highly unlikely to see them in the first year of a transition. Lets see how things turn out next year...eh, who am I fooling:P

Why can't I have the two in the bush AND the one in my hands?!
With such large numbers being tossed around, it's sometimes healthier to look at percentages instead. Sony sold 100% of it's inital shipment. It did the same in Japan and America. Didn't Nintendo do the same? But Nintendo still is selling 100% of what it is shipping, whereas Sony is not.
I'm not trying to do the fanboi rant, as I'm more the PC fanboi, but selling out the first shipment of a next-gen console is kind of a gimmie. The only difference here is that Sony waited until they had more units to ship for thier launch. So the title of this article should be, "Sony waits until they have enough units to break a record, then launches console." Big Whoop. - Sleep with one eye closed...the monkeys are coming...
That explains why I can't find a Wii. Guess I'll have to wait for the black Wii to come out. I really wanted a white Wii though, cause I heard the black Wii is bigger.

"Broadcasters would admit to no wrongdoing under the three-year settlement, which would end an FCC investigation into payola practices."
The FCC may not have had enough evidence to forward anything beyond the broadcasters accepting the payola.
"Payola, or "pay-for-play," can be difficult to track."
So the FCC gets some *fine* money, some indie artists get some airtime (likely with the least listeners), and the public in general thinks the FCC has returned the radio waves to the public. Pft.
Prince alone made almost 50mil, how much of that do you think that the broadcasters made off him? (ref link)

Reviews are still a useful tool in considering a purchase, but they should not be the end all decision maker. But what one has to remember is that these guys are reviewing what can be compared to art in some ways. Everybody has different taste, gets different levels of enjoyment from different games. Flame wars often occur over a preference of games, and this often demonstrates the difference of tastes (and lack of spelling) that exists in the gaming realm.
Reviews are very useful for determining frustrating issues, such as sloppy controls, lousy camera angles, and bad story translations and speeling. The best reviews are able to draw similarites to other existing games, thus relating the content or style of a game while not confusing the reader with his or her personal taste. I'm rather stingy with my money, but some reviews (mostly at ign.com) have turned me on to games I might otherwise have never known, but throughly enjoyed (Altier Iris series for example).
PC Games you can often easily demo, but not so frequently with many console games. Thus console game reviews are more useful then PC Games reviews.
Violence appeared long before video games. Pointing at videogames and blamecasting is like sticking gerbils up your butt in an effort to improve your vision. It doesn't amount to an ounce of benefit and somebody gets hurt. Usually the cute furry gerbils. Please, think of the gerbils.

Rabbit ears (two pole antenna) are useless for HD. But many Rabbit ears antenna's today do come with the UHF loop (looks like a plate inbetween the two poles). If you live in suburbia, an amplified rabbit ears (provided they come with the uhf loop example) is often enough to pull in HD signal reliably, but if you want to be sure, mount a yagi.
