check out this site. It contains a full searchable database of most MLS's in Washington State. It is particularly useful if you're thinking of moving near Pierce (Tacoma), King (Seattle/Bellevue) or Snohomish (Everett) counties. Unlike Realtor.com and other sites, it is made up of all the listings from the actual MLS. Many of the listings you find here will be on Realtor.com also, but, since Realtor.com is a subscription service (for Realtors), not all Realtors subscribe to it. But, all their listings have to go into the MLS. Hope that helps.
Yeah, yeah, I used to be a Real Estate Appraiser in another life...
I use a G4 400 w/ 192MB Ram at work. It's hard to make accurate/fair comparisons, but the closest thing I've got is SETI. Prior to the 3.x series of SETI clients, my G4 was approximately 50% faster than my PII 400 w/ 384MB Ram at home. It took ~6 hours to do a unit while my P2 average around 9. I'm pretty sure that with the 3.x clients it remained with that comfortable lead. I'm now running OSX at work, and with it's overhead, my PII running Linux feels snappier. I think the SETI advantage is still there for the Mac, but I'll be glad when every bit of debug code is removed from OSX to help remove its sluggishness. I haven't used any apps to keep track of SETI wu's now on the mac side, but I've got a buddy that runs a dual G4 533 that processes two units every ~12 hours (Approx. 6 hours per unit.) I have a Dell P3 1000 w/ 256MB Ram running Linux that averages 7h 20m per unit at the moment.
Well said. I can't say that I agree with all the companies citing evolutionary advancements as "innovations". It seems to me that the real innovations are getting farther & fewer between nowadays. One that I can think of, and I'm sure some will disagree, is Linux. Not just the kernel, but the kernel and all packages available for it and the whole way they came to be. Worldwide development over the internet of a free OS? With souce code available? No central company behind it? Nothing but a bunch of uber-geeks working on it in the spare time because they believe it? Must be something of a precedent.
"The GPL simply asserts that if someone wants to use some IP for free, they in turn must not charge for source to the resulting IP. They can still charge big bucks for the development work involved."
A sort-of example was posted a while back on slashdot when Kevin Lawton was hired by Mandrake and paid for his current development efforts with regards to bochs. The software was then subsequently licensed under the LGPL.

You're right, the Quicktime Streaming Server is inexpensive enough to deploy, but how much does it cost to get a Quicktime player with Sorensen codec for Linux? Oh, you can't get one? That seems too expensive to me then...
I'm sorry, but I won't play that game.
I'm tired of the "We'll make a server for you since there's sooo many linux servers out there. No client package though, cause nobody uses linux for the desktop." ala Valve - Halflife etc....
That's kinda the way I felt when I first read that. Although I love OSS, there's kind of a strange feeling that comes about from scavenging the remains of dead companies. Especially ones that made really good products, but for whatever reason, couldn't take them to fruition within the market.
I'm sure it helps to connect at 3am, but speaking as an x-modem user, now dsl user - well, it don't help enough. When I connected using my modem, the best pings I ever saw in q3 were around 200ms. Now, it's not uncommon for me to connect to servers and play with pings in the 50-60ms range max. I agree that game developers need to take into consideration all the users that flat out can't get cable/dsl. I'm not sure what the numbers are, but I'm guessing that broadband users make up a fairly small percentage of actual net usage. There's still a lot of modem users out there, and hey, why shouldn't they be able to play too?
I agree wholeheartedly. We have a network constisting of mostly macs and use Network Assistant to remotely administer them. It's absolutely the way to go. Now when somebody calls us and says "the thingy isn't working right today." we can remotely observe/control to find out what "thingy" it is. Great for pointing out user errors and proper procedure. Also works very well for setting up SETI@home processes at the end of the day!
Actually, it appears that ATI lost out to Nvidia a while ago per this article. And with Apple Computer's recent decision to not only offer Nvidia chips on their new macs, but make them the default option, how long before Nvidia rules the world? Don't get me wrong, I like Nvidia, I have an original TNT in my computer. I just think that a little competition is a good thing.

Actually, I have an iMac at work running OSX PB that has the developer tools on it. I've successfully ported a number of different apps over to OSX including squid proxy server, dhcp and nmap. From what I've seen, I'm looking forward to the actual release of OSX so I can install it on other machines. Oh, by the way, that little iMac happens to be our proxy server and dhcp server. It could use more RAM as it only has 128MB, but other than that, it works quite well.
You're correct, you don't "need" to have separate partitions. However, if you don't, you won't gain access to the UFS file system. I've been working with the PB for a couple months as well as the developer tools, and in my experience UFS has better performance.
Did you know that Linux really stands for Linux Is Not UnIX? It does...really..
Actually, if I haven't been smoking too much crack lately, I'd say that Linux actually stood for "little unix". I sort of remember an old story of how Linus wanted to create his own unix because the existing ones had gotten so large and bloated etc...
I wish someone would tell Orange (www.orange.co.uk) about this. Maybe their flaky Flash animations work in Windows but they keep making Netscape in Linux fall over.
This page appears to work fine under the latest nightly of Mozilla (Even the perty flash anims). Personally, I've been using Moz for the last couple months regularly over NS. Even with its bugs, it appears to be more stable/useful than NS.
Yes, that was also a wrapper. If you d/l the gzip'd tar file, you still only got the source for the kernel module. The other parts (libGL, GLX, X Driver) are still binary and the Makefile just puts them in the correct locations. Sure would be nice to get all the source.

No download managers? Hmmm. I did the simplest of searches on freshmeat and found plenty.

Not sure how his friend searched - maybe he typed in "mownload danager" or something

That sounds like a bit of an exaggeration. I just turned on my G4 400 w/ OSX last night and it's almost ready for me to use it already.

So what're you trying to say? Come on, spit it out! Oh, I get it, I have to read between the lines.

Actually, Mandrake 7©2 *should* boot just fine© It's got Andre Hedrick's IDE patches applied to it's default 2©2©17 kernel which probably will boot your new box© That stuff is native to the 2©4 kernel series and requires no additional patching© Works great on my Promise UDMA 66 controller© HTH
