This article goes a long way towards rebuilding my respect for Apple, which began to wither years ago when Copland never appeared.
For a long time I really wanted Apple to come out with a new OS that would kick the pants off of System 7, and I could have cared less about backwards compatibility. I would have bought all new applications, converted my old data, and kissed the old Finder goodbye. I bet some developers at Apple would have liked to have started from scratch too.
I'm glad they didn't, because they would have left a lot of people out in the cold.
The fact that Apple is making HFS work with a unix filesystem shows that they care about thier customers. My grandfather has been a Mac user since he gave up his TRS-80 in 1988. He's published three books and dozens of papers on his two Macs. (his current a 7100 that still runs beautifully) I really think he is a poster Mac user. He is very intelligent, creative, and he has no interest at all in how his computer works - it's just a tool to him.
Tell my grandfather that to use a new operating system he'd have to give up programs he's used for 10 years, and convert all his files for use in a new filesystem, and he'd tell you that his current Mac OS was just fine.
While PC users (myself included) have been sucked into the complete hardware / software upgrade every 2.5 years cycle, the core constituency of Mac users hasn't - and asking them to change everything just wouldn't work.
So please read the complaints about the mechanics of OSX in this discussion keeping in mind the balance between pragmatism and idealism Apple has kept.
Idealism: Make a perfect OS Pragmatism: Make it backwards-compatible Idealism: Care about the customer enough to be pragmatic.
I researched wireless links for a school in Poland I worked at last year.
LATNET is a wireless network in Riga that's been up for around seven years now. This paper is the best resource you'll find on inexpensive wireless networks.
As far as I know, I'm not using any public resources to get from my PC to this fourm.
I seem to go from AT&T's private, corporate fiefdom straight to one owned by Exodus.
The wires and fiber that my bits travel across may be owned by telcos or any number of trunk owners (not necessarily AT&T or Exodus...) but I'm sure none of these lines belong to the government.
Even the vBNS (does that exist anymore?) was owned by MCI... public money did fund that, but I think no commercial traffic was routed on it.
Anyway, yea capitalism! The Internet wouldn't exist as we know it otherwise. And way to go Excite... I'm glad they're trying to keep high-bandwidth traffic on private nets.
I've personally been looking into satellite service for the school I work at in Rural Poland. (I'm a US Peace Corps Volunteer, currently using a 9600 baud GSM connection to post this) It won't cost anywhere near $400,000 USD for a 2-way satellite connection. Real prices for 256k?
From Crawford:
"The satellite equipment is about $15,000 US. The monthly service is $1,500 for a dedicated 256Kbps connection over satellite."
From NetSat Express:
"Well, I would say that $1500/month is rather cheap. I would have normally asked about $2400 for that. However, please check whether this is CIR. We sell CIR chunks in 2M carrier, so you always have your CIR but can burst up to 2M for free (if other part of the carrier is not used, which does not happen very often of course). And your price does not depend on traffic but only on CIR. Do not know much about what exactly they sell. Our complete hardware would cost you about $6000, with antenna. But, you would need at least the Cisco 2500 series."
So, if you have money 2-way satellite isn't a bad deal. If you're poor like my school is, it isn't an option.
I'm currently looking into spread-spectrum radio at 2.4 GHz to bridge the 35 km gap between my school and the nearest ISP. (can't get a phone line here.:-) )
I'll have high-bandwidth cellular Internet before Qualcomm ships anything... and before 3G is implemented. So will everyone in Europe... Eastern Europe included. The governments here don't get in the way of innovation like the FCC does in the US.
My laptop is connected right now at 9600 baud on a Nokia 5110... it plugs right into my serial port - no need for a PCMCIA card. (You don't need a MODEM when your phone's already DIGITAL.) I have an external antenna 'cause I'm in the STICKS. (Peace Corps will do that to you.) The connection is rock-solid. I've even sent mail from a moving train before. (Yes, I'm a geek.)
Even though it's $.10/minute for Internet it beats the heck out of the Southwestern Bell mobile service I had in Kansas, and the SNET shit offered in Connecticut.
Who would have thought that in a small Polish village where I have to wait a year for a stationary phone I can have technology I can't get in the states?
Wake UP FCC. And the rest of you read the special on telecommunications in the Economist for October 11. It is fantastic reading for cell phone lovers. It explains why the US lags so far behind the rest of the world.
(time to put more coal on the fire or I'll freeze tonight!)
I ordered my first ISDN line in Lawrence, Kansas in the spring of 1996. Southwestern Bell had the line installed into my old house, sitting in a neighborhood of houses built before the turn of the century, in one week. Install back then was free as long as you signed a 2 year contract, and monthly usage was $104 unmetered.
I moved to Connecticut in the spring of 1998 and began working at a factory in Chester, Connecticut. I called SNET, the telco for all of CT, and asked about ISDN for the business. I was told it wasn't offered in my region of the state. After chasing my account exec for over a week, I finally was given a number, which led me to another number, which led me to a third conversation with a fellow that told me it could be done.
SNET, to this day in 1999, does not have digital switches in most of central Connecticut. My options for ISDN are as follows:
1. purchase a "link extention" which bypasses my local switch (Deep River, CT) and routes me to another switch located 35 miles southeast (in Groton, CT). cost: $200 install, $75/month.
2. purchase an ISDN line from SNET. cost: $300 install, $54/month, plus $.01 per minute per B channel for data calls.
3. purchase a dial up ISP account from Javanet, a local ISP owned by RCN. $25/month unlimited usage.
I worked out the amount of usage the line would get and found ISDN would cost the company around $600 a month. Of course with the local loop charges for T1 as they are, ISDN is still cheaper. But not cheap enough. For now we are using a Webramp router and a 56k modems, which connect at around 26k.
I am hoping that now that Southwestern Bell has "merged" with SNET, as the SNET people like to tell me, that a new switch will be installed and the rates will become more reasonable. But I doubt it.
Wired News Service posted a few lines last week about "crackers" shutting down fbi.gov with a DOS attack, and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Cracker will *never* be used as a term to describe a malicious hacker in the popular media.
As noted by many other posters in this discussion, "cracker" is a racial slur. It has been in use for far longer than computers and networks have been around. I cite a Webster's from 1963 I just happen to have lying around:
Cracker:
1. a bragging liar 2. something that makes a cracking or snapping noise 3. NUTCRACKER 4. a dry think crisp bakery product made of flour and water 5. POOR WHITE: -- usually used disparagingly 6. the equipment in which cracking is carried out
Besides it's other meanings, cracker is just a lame term. When I saw that Wired article, I wondered what kinds of arguements went on in the newsroom when the editor and reporter disagreed over the term... or when at a staff meeting they decided to standardize upon usage.
I sincerely hope this arguement gets buried today, and that our esteemed colleagues at Slashdot ignore future temptation to start it up again by so blatantly including the arguement in the news brief.
Netgear cards have been shipping with a linux driver for several months now. They include the source for a modified tulip driver so that people who have older distros can have the card working out of the box.
Even better, the Netgear cards actually display that liunx is supported on the outside of the box.
I'd say its just a matter of months before 3com follows suit on their cards... and I would bet that most router/switch management packages are in the process of being ported to linux (if they're not already web-based), no matter what the company marketing people think or say.
It was the research of IBM and announcements like this eighteen months ago that led to my newest toy, a TravelStar 14.1GB 2.5" IDE drive for my thinkpad.
As the standards are slow to change, I can see IBM incorporating this technology into IDE Interface 2.5" drives. Or maybe three years from now FireWire will be big. I kind of doubt it. Three years ago I thought that IDE was dead and that SCSI would be king by now. I was very wrong.
I don't think they will consume any more power than they do now, and I'd imagine that they will probably spin at 5,400 RPM... most 2.5" drives now spin at 3,600 or 4K, the notable exception being the new 14.1GB TravelStar, which spins at 4,900.
Anyway, this announcement is great news because IBM storage has a fantastic record of bringing new technologies to market.
And to answer your question about what to do with all that space... I have 130 of my CDs mp3 compressed and with me wherever I go. I like that.
freaker.amitville.com crashed IE4 on Win98, IE5 on WinNT, Netscape 4.51 on WinNT when loading the Quicktime plugin... I guess you haven't tried your site with QT4.
Netscape 4.51 on linux survived, but only because there is no Quicktime 4 plugin for linux.
I hope your few virtual possesions don't include any pirate software or mp3 files. If you have software or music you haven't paid for, you're the same as the thief who just might steal your mountain bike.
Not a personal attack against you Chris, in any way... just a heads-up to all those who are in the same situation as you... who put more value in data than in physical items. If society is to advance to an era where digital items are more important than physical ones we must stop the pirating now or risk the collapse of our entire economic system in the near future.
People were paying for status in a virtual community centuries ago. That virtual community was heaven. The marketers were clergy of the Catholic Church. The price was gold. The tickets were Indulgences.
Read some modified Katz:
"New but mushrooming trading for characters and property on games like Heaven has significance way beyond gaming. It suggests that space in Afterlife isn't infinite after all, and that people may have to begin paying or trading for access to the parts of it they want to use. Also that people with money can alter the balance of Heaven's culture suddenly and dramatically."
Damn this engine is fast! And I love how the searching syntax is spelled out on the first page. This is really phenomenal. Certainly my new default search engine.
Check Tom's hardware... he rates one of their boards as being the most stable socket 7 board out there. I've personally purchased three dozen computers based on Acer AP53, AP58, and AX59Pro motheboards for my customers over the past two years, and I've had no complaints at all. Most of these systems run NT Workstation 24/7 and get rebooted once a week at the most.
I ran Debian on a used AP53 with a Cyrix 166 and went two months without a reboot.
Don't knock hardware you don't have any experience with. Acer makes fine stuff.
CSS Level 1 became a W3C Recommendation on 17 December, 1996. CSS Level 2 was finalized a year ago this May. Why does it take this long?
On a side note, StyleMaster 1.3 shipped this week from an Australian Company, Western Civilisation, and includes fantastic help for determining which CSS features are implemented correctly in various browsers. I was so impressed I went to kagi and paid for it after an hour of use.
I doubt any established IT news services in the states will cover the issue of Linux in South Africa, and that really pisses me off. They've ignored the Mexico deal almost completely.
I wish the popluar American media would make a bigger deal of Mexico's decision to go with Linux. A quarter of a million workstations and servers over the next few years, all running linux and in the hands of a nation on its way to some serious economic development. I see Mexico's thinking as another nail in the coffin of M$.
Had to manually configure the proxy to let Apple's installer talk to the download site. It came down fast. I'm glad to see Apple isn't "bandwidth challenged" as they were for so many years.
Also I'm really impressed with this new trailer. It looks as good as any DVD movie I've ever seen. Sounds great too. There is no comparison between the old and new trailers. This one rocks.
The upcoming release of RH 6.0 looks just like how HPUX has started up for quite a long time. Certainly SuSE wasn't the innovator here.
