That's called pircay, and is exactly the sort of thing that Product Activation is designed to fight. You don't have any right to install one copy of XP on more than one machine.
No, the problem is that the curriculum was designed to be 'dumbed down' on purpose, to an insulting level (at least that's how I felt about much of the shooling I have had). How many of you had CS courses where the professor or TA spent a good deal of time just reading from the book? Damn, people, I can read a damn sight faster than you can talk, as many can!
This applies not just to college but to primary and secondary schools as well.
At least there are programs like Omnibus early on and the AP classes in high school. Otherwise school isn't that challenging or interesting.
Exactly. The amount of money that dickless workstations can save is incredible. And the only hardware that needs be identical is the mouse (the protocol anyway), keyboard, graphics card, and sound, if any.
As an aside, does anybody know the website where you can get those tiny linux thin computers? The little bitty ones, not the newer micro-tower ones, but the ones that are roughly Cryptonomicon-sized? TIA
I would assert that there are more programs for Linux , or more accurately that can be compiled for it and that the api / libs/etc that it requires are supported, than there are for Windows. I would also assert that more innovation and research occurs for Linux than any other platform. I personally think it has in most ways that count surpassed Windows.
I wonder, do Brits and Aussies and Kiwis have any difficulty understanding Americans' English? Excepting people from The South, Texas, California, and The East, of course, to account for their horrid dialects.
Seriously, guys, it's cute and everything - but we're trying to have a society here. Come to the Midwest or the Northwest and learn some proper English.
Goddamn this is why we have RTF. And PDF! For heaven's sake, MS builds interoperability into Word and 97% of the people in the corporate world are completely incapable of going to File, Save As..., Type:.rtf! It really is ultimately the fault of people who are never trined to take the one extra step that would make everything interpoerate! Gah! It hurts me in my brain to think about this.
They are way better value: have you priced out an MP Dell or HP lately? They are way more expensive than MP G4's. OS X on a nice MP system is a thing of grace and stability, whereas they will probably ship those MP machines to you with Windows XP Professional. Sad.
Don't buy an iBook, buy a powerbook 12" instead. I would recommend a 15" TiBook, (which I own and love, TiG4 DVI) but Apple's ripe for a model change there. The 12" is cute but lacks L3 cache IIRC. The 17" has gotta be too big, as my 15" is kind of stretching it.
Maybe the AlG4s will be more reliable / faster / sexier than the Ti, but I remain happy with my decision.
iBooks, on the other hand, are pokey in comparison to a Powerbook. Side-by-side, you really notice the pep of the G4. Used in isolation from faster Macs, you may not care, but I think the couple hundred bucks more you would spend on a Powerbook now will serve you well into the future.
Did you ever notice how much of a drag updating Windows 2K / XP is? I know I'm sick of sacrificing chickens and goats just to make my service pack, critical updates, and other fun stuff (like that plus pack thinger for XP) install without fucking up everything else.
The only problem I have ever had with OS X's update utility is that (GRRRRRRR!) when I put all of Apple's utilities and programs away how I want 'em, Software Update just applies the changes in a newly created folder where the app used to be (obviously traversing what it thinks is the.app's hierarchy.) This is a bug which fuckin pisses me off, as it precludes me having a neat Applications folder, because I have to leave the apps that come with the system where they are.
Oh, and Steve, thanks for having the last Software Update spray icons into the dock. I love surprises.
Seriously, I ramble. The point is, every Software Update has been smooth for me (as I don't move the default apps) unlike with Windows 98 - XP Windows Update which has always been an incredible pain in the goat ass.
Maybe if you weren't a retarded troll you'd realize that Apple has fixed NetInfo so it checks/etc now. Any changes made in/etc (related to stuff that NetInfo knows about anyway) are reflected by NetInfo. I realize that trolling must take up a good portion of your day, but Apple fixed this with 10.2.
Do I think you are Informative, Interesting, or Funny? NO WAY!
One of many. This is why I think it is retarded to use HFS+ at all. I find it slow, incompatible, and just a plain bitch. I have a small vestigial HFS+ partition for Classic though.
Huh? What's an Xbox? I have a PS2 and a computer for games. Just try to run Tribes2 (the REAL one, not the silly console version) on your Xbox. Or Exult. Or RTCW. Or Quake3 with Navy Seals mod.
For the dedicated true gamers, the console isn't even close to replacing the home system. For everyone else who's just fuckin' around, enjoy yourselves.
IANAL but the entrapment laws only apply to law enforcement officers and agencies. As an individual who is not a LEO, or even as a LEO operating outside of work hours, feel free to entrap.
Who's white? As for me, I am more of a light pink color. My girlfriend is slightly olive-toned. We are both caucasian, but neither one of us is white. I know asian people who, when you put my skin next to theirs, are much much whiter than I. In fact, I can't think of anyone I know that is acutally white. Black people aren't black, they are brown. Who the fuck came up with this color-coding system anyway?
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, and Faberge eggs are going for millions of dollars; I can get a normal egg for like 12 cents!
Or, you could plug a tablet into your Mac running 10.2 and have the HWR engine from the 2100!
The Zoomer was a weak reaction to the Newton. It was cobbled together in a few months and rushed to market.
Look, everyone likes that Halo game, let's but it and make it available only to shitty XBox owners!
Even 'Joe Sixpack' knows that MS is a federally convicted felon and monopoly, staffed by perjurers, liars, and led by a washed up frat boy (Ballmer!).

No Fuckin' Way! MS is definately in the business of taking advantage of naive users.
Oh well. All those Visio users are shitting their pants with jealousy over OmniGraffle. Maybe they'll switch to Mac and OpenOffice.

Also, the cultures that used both have influenced each other.
Yeah, like when the Germans came howling over the frozen Rhine and conquered Rome?
Sorry, bad fall of Rome joke. I do this all the time.

Read: I WANT more than 4GB RAM for video editing and 3D rendering.

You can roll and smoke that.

Any real computer uses Open Firmware, the industry-wide boot loader / lisp environment (or compatible).

IIRC, Apple already adopted a 'real' package management system - DarwinPorts.
I challenge you to show me any word document that large. Word would definately hurl its guts out before you would even hit 1 GB.
