you do *not* want to route something like zeroconf. This would overload your local browsing
I think that depends on the scope of routing. you don't want to spread it across the internet, but if you had a smalll mac design shop with 3 subnets, then I'd want rendezvous routed across all three, which right now, it won't do "without infrastructure support".
In order to acquire services across networks, you should be using a directory service such as Open Directory on Mac OS X. Zeroconf/rendezvous can acquire their local Open Directory server and then index those services.
what do you mean by directory server? ldap? how do the individual apps use that to determine available services?
While the current implementation of Rendezvous is directed at home networks and networks without much infrastructure
that's what the rendezvous docs say. atm it doesn't route as it's a technology for use when there is no infrastructure. what I want to know is what infrastructure do you need to support it in a routed environment? I've not found an answer to thatr yet. for ip address allocation, dhcp is an obviosu answer, and that's fine, but what about host and service discovery. can this be done with dynamic dns? bind etc? does anyone know and if so, how?
This was one of the same reasons the Apple first created ADC. DVI-D could not handle the resolution on the top end Apple Studio Display of the time
as I understand it, adc is no more than dvi-d with added power and usb. afaik they only made adc so that they could hook their monitors up with only 1 cable. you can buy a box to break an adc port into it's component dvi-d and usb
On the other hands, the FireWire iSight does currently, AFAIK, *not* work with other operating systems.
I don't have any specific proof to the contrary (I don't on an isight), but I was under the impression that the isight did work with pc's fine, but they they didn't support the mic on it. the video should work correctly though.
I've only had dspam installed for a week or so but my stats are as follows: I've taught it 43 spams (ie from a database of nothing, 43 got through and I've trained on them) and 1 false positive (an itms reciept)(again taught to the system) and since then it's been pretty damn good. it's flagged 632 spams and let 730 innocent spams through correctly.
I've got my system set to deliver spam to a spambox which I check nightly for false positives.
and the docs say that I ought to have alot more training before it's up to standard. it's already better for me than SA was.
This is what I don't get - in order to be sure you have no false positives, you have to comb through all of the spam by hand, which for the most part defeats the purpose of a spam filter. If you don't do so, then you can't claim zero false positives - you can only claim that you haven't _noticed_ any false positives.
I file spam in a spam box as I can easily scan across the contents in 10 seconds and hit delete before I go to bed, as opposed to the distraction when an email arrives and you go to check it immediately being broken ou of what you were doing, and then the annoyance of finding that it's spam.
I find that the minor chore of spending half a minute once a day is much easier than being annoyed constantly throughout the day.
incidentally, I implemented dspam last week and right now, it's performing brilliantly, certainly better than SA was which I had installed beforehand.
ahh, but we have to pay VAT on our itunes purchases don't we? whereas the americans don't have to pay sales tax on internet purchases (do I understand correctly?).
so some of the money from our itms purchases is building hospitals and schools (and funding terrible public transport and all the other crap things:)
*sigh* sarcasm is lost once more. I know it's the lowest form of wit and all but still. I'm kinda hoping you're trying to purpetuate the joke but it just doesn't look like it.
Book 1,000 dollars. dealer profit 100 bucks. apple profit 900 bucks.
if the cost of an ibook is $1000, the dealer makes $100 profit and apple makes $900 profit then the cost of manufacture (and overheads) must logically be zero.
my point was that apple don't make $900 profit on ibooks. at a guess, ibooks probabaly don't make much profit at all as someone has to pay to build the damn thing.
I've just implemented dspam 3 into my email flow because SA was too high maintenance for me and it was letting too much through. I don't know if the docs have changed since the version that was tested there, btu certainly now it is recommended that it runs in train everything mode, so it learsn your ham and spam as it comes in, and you only make "train on error" moves when you send it an email it mis-classified.
I've only run about 300 or so emails through it so far but it's already doing a better job for me than SA.
why should your reseller call apple for you about a problem. they are a reseller. the warranty you receive is from apple.
because he didn't buy the machine from apple, he bought it from a reseller and if he has a problem with his machine then it is the reseller he has a contract with and it is the resellers duty to resolve that problem. the resellers problems with their suppliers, and details of any profit they may or may not make are none of his concern.
I'm sorry but it annoys me when shops refuse to carry out their duty to their customers. if you don't want to deal with the problems that come with selling a certain item, then stop selling that item. don't palm your customers off with crap excuses about how they should go and solve the problem theirselves with the manufacturer, a company with whom they have no business relationship with.
and its smallest diesel engine on the car market, which sips very little gas
rumour has it that the smart engine was just pulled out of the mercedes parts bin where it used to power the aircon on some of the big artics:)
I think it's great that the smarts as standard come with a patterned paint job, and they look great in it. I wish more cars had something other than a plain colour (and looked good in that pattern so shanging it wasn't an instant loss of 50% on the selling price:)
btw, have you seen the smart coupe-roadsters? seriously gorgeous imho. way too expensive for what you get, but gorgeous. RWD, semi auto box, long nose, read driving position.. fantastic... now if only that brabus double engine version would come into proper sale...
Am I the only one that would rather have a dedicated controller to handle the fans as opposed to during it in software?
assuming that the new g5's work the way the current ones do in this regard (and I'm sure they do). the software overrides the hardware. if there is no software to control the speed, then it defaults to full blast.
if you install linux on a g5 then the fans all run at full because the linux people haven't decoded the fan controllers yet (or hadn't last I looked). and even with osx on it, when you turn it on, the fans blow at full for a short while until bios/osx gets loaded and takes control and brings the speed down.
so if osx crashes so hard that even low level drivers like that die, then the machine should still not overheat.
I know you're asking for an SLR, but you might wish to look at the Minolta DiMAGE Z1/Z2.
correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this camera actually an SLR anyways?
SLR does not mean removeable lenses, it means the viewfinder looks through the camera lens. sure, most SLR's have removeable lenses but it is not a requirement of the title. my nikon 5700 is technically an SLR even though it would not normally be recognised as such.

that is not a given. how many people actually use tinydns vs how many use bind? not to say that tinydns is not excellently programmed, but if no-one is really looking for flaws then they are unlikely to show up
I'd actually be very concerned if Apple fixed the URI handler problems with 10.3.4, because that would mean that they've officially abandoned Jaguar.
how would it mean that? cos they might have fixed a bug in 10.3 doesn't mean that they won't fix it in 10.2 later. I beleive that this often happens, fix in latest first, catch up with the older os later.

to be fair america has a few more residents than the UK. we're generally at about 60 million people. america is just over 290 million.
so basically our population is nearly 5 times less, and we bought only 3 times less songs. looks like we've got you beat per head
