I'm shocked & appalled. A week ago, if I were tasked with finding other Yahoo fans, the first place I'd have looked would've been/. After all, everyone knows they have a great sense of humor. Surely they can appreciate the comedic genius of the man Yahoo Serious. But no. Everyone here just wants to bash him. Maybe instead of a web portal stealing his name, a certain NW software company should have stolen it. At least then you could bash two for the price of one.
I don't know much about the thermal properties of the tiBooks, but keep in mind that a rubberized coating is going to insulate it quite a bit. Higher heat = greater chance of hardware errors & general flakiness...
Unlike Intel, they're at least not lying about clock speed.
How is it better to attempt to intentionally mislead people? Cyrix tried this same trickery, and suffered the consequences
I have nothing to say about Intel lying, news to me. Sure, it might not perform as it should, but...
I think Cyrix suffered because they claimed pr200 was equiv. to a p200. And it wasn't. Not even close. *That* is what I remember about Cyrix. IIRC, AMD did the same thing, but they were much closer in performance...
For business users, this rocks. I could go on & on about it, but if you need to know about it, you probably already do. I only mention it because they talked about that netthing app that uses a windows host & java in a browser. Citrix can do that & so much more. Beware the printer issues, though...
Well, try them:) Really, I'd say you'd have the best luck w/ VMWare on Linux, and win98. As long as you have the ram (& it's cheap now) it should be ok. I suspect there will be poorer performance if you run linux on windows, though.
As for your Xterminal question, let me know:) I just installed cygwin, and it's supposed to be able to run xfree86, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Rocks as a ssh/scp/sftp client, though.
If these researchers get to the point where they can't see a moral difference between killing a person and turning off a computer, they need to get out of the lab more. What next, natural rights for computer programs? That's like inventing television, and then being unwilling to turn off the TV for fear of killing the little people inside. Rubbish.
And it's ok to kill aboriginies/negroes/jews/whatever because they aren't human, either. I think that there will definitely be a lot of debate over this. I don't have enough facts yet to decide which side I'll be on...
I have noticed the same thing. The only time I get viruses at my home address is when I need to go update my grandmother's virus protection & clean her machine. But lately she's either learned how to do it herself (very possible) or learned not to blindly click on attachements (yah, right).
Person1: Exactly what is wrong with having the browser be part of the OS? It does OS-like things in a very natural way, and you have the advantage of using the same tool to browse the internet that you use to browse your hard drive.
Person2: My "objection" is not that the browser is part of the OS. My objection is that Internet Explorer is the browser.
My problem isn't with that, my problem is people who bitch about the integration of IE & Win. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Period. Use a different OS, I did. But Microsoft produces Windows. They shouldn't be told what they can & can't do with it. If you don't like the way they do it, make your own OS. Groovy, yeah. But the whole topic isn't even worthy of me finishing this post...
I'll tell you what it is. A big, flat surface that is begging for a flatscreen. Plus, you already plug your fridge into AC. Most people don't have power running to their cabinets. That's the one thing that hit me as soon as I read your post. I'm sure there are many other reasons...

Yeah, you forgot about yahoo.com. Oh, and slashdot.org. What the hell is a slashdot? Most of the names you listed don't seem too bad, even zoza.com. *If* they had worked out, they'd be instantly recognizable. Since they didn't work out, we can now ridicule them...
The problem I have is when you "opt-out", only to have the mail bounced due to an invalid email address, presumably due to spam from the account. Or if you end up on a Japanese spam list, and the email & all linked pages are unreadable by non-linguists, so you *can't* opt-out.
For $8,000 - $10,000 I'd like to see RGB lasers painting triplets on the backs of my eyes.
And I do mean eyeS, I want stereoscopic projectors so I can get 3D images.
No, that model will run you $500k according to the article. But will be available commercially in the form of stylish sunglasses in ~5 yrs.:)
The disturbing thing is there are an inordinate number of users who would do just that. See how convenient the web is? I can learn about the best hardware and buy it on the same page! Oh, Boy! Wait a minute, this would never fly outside the online world. Go to a computer store and ask the sales 'consultant' what to buy, then he hands it to you and you fork over the green. There's an idea. Oh, and while you're at it, you might as well bend over and grab your ankles.
Actually, most people (non-techies) *do* go to the store & ask what's the best thing, then buy it. My grandmother did that when she wanted a new PC (and to stop using me for tech support). She went to Gateway Country & talked to the sales ppl. I reviewed her purchase & while I felt they oversold her (p3-700 for websurfing & email, some scanning), the price wasn't horrendous & she's been extremely happy with it. Were the Gateway sales ppl biased? Without a doubt. Did she care? No.
My first computer was a C=64, and my first internet account was a dial-up to a VMS box at the university. I had Lynx access all I wanted. Of course, most of the sites back then were text only, so graphics support wasn't too necessary.
I just recently installed Debian on my 3400c. It was on the supported list, but just barely. Most of the difficulties were due to the barely compatible OF, and boot methods. I doubt seriously that any pretty install they have will work on it, but if you setup bootx or something similar you should be able to get to the ugly install...
Actually, if I'm not mistaken there is Metaframe for Solaris now... I'm not sure about the Solaris version, but I know one big advantage over the Win Terminal Server is the protocol used w/ Metaframe. I use both & Metaframe has much better speed.
>So if someone steals a packet of M&Ms from the local grocery store, and the grocery store conducts a full review and decides to hire a $20/hour security guard, spend $1500 installing cameras and a closet-circuit TV system, and install a checkpoint at the candy aisle, that shoplifter caused tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage?
No, but that's not a good analogy. A better one is that someone broke into the supposedly locked & secured office, opened the safe & stole a money wrapper.

Not only do you have checksums & what-not, but most encrypted data has lower compression ratios, so that adds to the bandwidth as well.
