The AC was correct, that the next major rev will be released in late summer. Officially, however, it is codenamed 'Jaguar' and is not being referred to by Apple as 10.2. Doesn't mean it won't be 10.2, but officially it isn't yet. Check out the full details here.
macslash.net is not propagating properly, and since.org has already (thanks again to Charles Ruggerio for hooking us up), we are going ahead with macslash.org for now. We will be posting a story on the site later today breaking down the whole situation.
Secondly, a Mac/ user (samiam) has already posted a great explanation of the apparent redirection to MacMall, so I won't repeat the story.
1601 PDT, Thursday. Ben Stanfield, who is driving somewhere between Kentucky and Washington D.C., just received a call from a V.P. at Dotster who said that his people have been receiving A LOT of emails from you guys. He is personally looking into the problem and has assured us that he will do everything in his power to get this problem corrected. If it ends up being something that Dotster cannot assist us with we have already received an offer for Pro-Bono work from a lawyer who works with domain disputes all of the time. If worst comes to worst we'll be meeting with ICANN soon.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, macslash.net should be propagating even as we speak, so hopefully by tomorrow things will be back to (relative) normalcy. If not, I will continue to post updates in this thread. (Knock on wood laminate desk.)
Thanks much to everyone for their assistance, emails, and well-wishes.
As of 0952 PDT Thursday, there is still no word from Dotster. It seemed as if some folks were able to get through (including me) last night and post, but it is now offline again from where I am: no Dotster page, no MacSlash, no nothin'. A whois via networksolutions.com still brings up that Valencia hombre. Anybody seeing anything?
I will post again to this thread when we have more info.
Thanks again to everyone who has gotten in touch with us, and to the other Mac sites for posting info.
Yes, please do not disembowel him; he was kind enough to register macslash.org and let us know about it when he discovered the hijacking. Disemboweling is reserved for the dude in Valencia... or the fscker at Dotster who screwed this up, whichever it turns out to be
We still have not heard from Dotster at this point (23:10 PDT may 29), however some folks have reported being able to get in. If you are able to, please post in the Domain Troubles story so we know you got there.
For more information and updates, please email us at macslash@earthlink.net or call Ben Stanfield, Executive Editor, 270-881-0680. Thanks to everyone who has contacted us already. And thanks to Pudge for posting the story.
We are hoping to have this issue resolved ASAP. We apologize for the inconvenience.

This is useful as long as you remeber to lock your screen when you are away from your keyboard.
In Mac OS X, under the Screen Saver System Preference, you can have it ask for a password before it lets you back in. You can also set a hot corner so that if you *do* remember, you can just shove your cursor into one corner and the screensaver turns on.
Yeah, only one, but the biggest one in relation to the parent planet. We rock! (So to speak.) Not to mention all the artificial ones and Asteroid 3753.
Yeah, I'd have to agree. Writing these days has absolutely no stylus. The clayperson has no hope of competing with the assyrious scholar, unless he or she buys one of those tablet-ure books.

Sshhh! Be careful, his wife Anne might find out.
Naw. They'll try, of course, but we'll catch 'em in the parking lot. ;)
Although bad dentistry will become a new torture method... ouch.

Jack Handey had it right:
"I don't think I'm alone when I say I'd like to see more and more planets fall under the ruthless domination of our solar system."
"Whether they find a life there or not, I think Jupiter should be called an enemy planet."
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
Shouldn't that be seize the dog? :)
There are a lot of variables you haven't talked about, e.g.:
1) What sort of applications do you have running on these servers and how interoperable are they? Does it matter how interoperable they are?
2) And further, are those apps dependent on that vendor's Unix?
3) How much resistance is there from the staff to learn something new?
Assuming the above aren't a problem, then it shouldn't really matter. Go open-source and save a buck or two.
No, I think your first one was better and more applicable to what most of these things actually are:

I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
OK, two pieces of business.

Unfortunately, no, due to the way the virtual hosts are set up.

Given bandwidth and throughput back in the day, this isn't too far from the truth. :)
Actually, I think that would be a great idea. They could get multiplayer support finally! :)
Oni is owned by GOD Games now, though.

I think the better question would be: Can I play *with* Trinity?
