you obviously dont know what your talking about. apple is very opensource friendly, a lot of good programs come out of the open darwin family.
"represents a good value for money" might make sense if you put a dollar figure on your time. how many hours i used to (and still do for other people) fixing windows machines where windows wont start, documents wont print, etc.
one of the major values of apple products is that it works and keeps on working. most people will never want nor need to reinstall thier os. they wont have an equivlent blue screen on boot up that says they are missing something.vxd. this is easily true for macos and osx. and why people switch -- and end to the hassle of tossing time and money into their intel machines.
You say to run OSX you need hardware with AppleBIOS? Thats fine, but this is Intel requiring Windows to run. The Apple scenerio doesnt apply as AlternativeOS doesnt require AppleBIOS in effect. As I read it.
what we need is someone to write a virus that installs inself on windows machines and honeypots the common various p2p protocols and gives results that the riaa hate like a few titles of briney, metallica, etc.
so when your ip address changes and your still listed as a valid source they get scanned and nailed with the legal mess.
that will put an end to this crap when they start suing innocent people in massive quantities.
from what deal outlined in the sources of the posts before before, the clients will have a special browser that views the source code. it wasnt apparent that there would be any source like we would see it. just viewing like a cvsweb view.
i use emacs exclusively and love it so. but i refuse to program elisp. there has to be a easier way. i troll emacswiki thinking there is but there isnt. its just too hard to get something mature going as the mature examples are just too painful to try and follow.
its all about when will cygnus editor be ported from the amiga to linux. then the editor text processing war can end. where is this leviathon to receive my keystokes and my hours of macro programming?
its perfectly reasonable for a isolated corporate environment. but you want to make documents go out the building it will be a bitch to do. people will not stand for a sandbox or simular type of mechanism to email someone a quote in excel.
additionally if quickbooks or some other simular program cannot read/write to a file its going to be a hazard. people are fed up with having to mess with msjet, dao or whatever microsoft is pushing today for their database connectivity for dealing with their office suite and third party applications.
ok, after checking with people from back in the day... was that the university was not to allow any organized sources for texts on campus.
i also recall the university library had book sales where they sold old books for a few cents and people donated books. old textbooks that were in current course offerings had to be removed.
recently segway had a demo of its products at an airshow near me and i got to try one out. they are very neat, they are not racals that for sure and i didnt have the thing in its higher speed key so i didnt get to run it its fastest.
there will be a new segway coming out soon (a smaller ighter version - 'son of segway' type thing that will be substantually cheaper) and the segway thats out now will go down in price.

Amen to that.
the s-controller is very hard for small hands ... especially for kids. this is a popular complaint.
agreed this is likely all over microsoft/msdn as well.
maybe thought should have been happy with a 20% loss and not brough on more publicity on themselves.

and with our new longer sentencing policy, perhaps they will be detered in the future from zapping people's computers
True, that buggering part does sort of suck ... likely some sort of terrorism thing as well.

i am not sure the patriot act was intended to aid in the apprehion of people who only merit a 'few years in minimum security' provisions.
should he be penalized if guilty? maybe, but his behavior hardly has anything to do with terrorism.

Adabas will do those and oracle and etc etc very nicely
I agree, remember Visio? Microsoft totally destoryed that application when they acquired it. Never give up my Visio5 Enterprise.
why not something like skytel? i use it and its great via modem or via smtp. especially with the two way paging.
i remember a rubics cube type application document launcher and a lazy susan type wheel that resuembled the OSX dock.
what was this one called?
Not that I am arguing with linx > windows, but just because its Apache doesnt mean its linux.
yes what we need is the 'terrorist friendly' seal to go along with this.

isnt this usually in violation of the bookstore contract with the university?

is there a company that has butted heads with redmond that is still in business and not also in litigation with them?
what happened to that old pc card that you tossed in your mac to run pc programs? maybe there is some room there for something.
well there is that 'network messaging' (using messanger with exchange) that is possible. maybe that can be emulated.
though it would turn messanger into some jabber like thing only being able to login to a limited service
