The "Deep" part notates that whatever is the multi-processor version. So Deep Junior is the multi-processor version of Junior.
I imagine they did that in honor of Deep Blue which was multiple processors. Deep Blue was called Deep Thought for awhile and then IBM "IBM-ized" it as Deep Blue.
I agree that the ChangeLogs have gotten a lot better than what Linus used to put out.
I think that one of the areas where Open Source is severely behind with regards to non-Open Source is in the area of documentation. There are a few notable exceptions, of course, like Perl and Apache, but often times the documentation is either lacking or severely out of date. Telling users to "read the source" or "use --help" just doesn't cut it. The Linux Documentation Project is a great step forward, but has lots of work to go.
Unfortunately, I don't see a huge change on the horizon. Writing documentation is "boring" and not as "exciting" as programming. Maybe somebody needs to sponsor a group of technical writers...
The Service Pack release notes are not marketing tools. Go read them. You're also confusing the unreleased Windows XP Service Pack 1, which does the software removal stuff, with the Windows 2000 Service Packs.
I'm not saying that Microsoft is perfect. I'm just saying that their release notes are better than the ChangeLog. I'm not even sure if developer's are going to get some of things noted in the ChangeLogs.
I hate to say it, but the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 release notes are much more clear than the ChangeLog. They might not tell you in great detail what was fixed, but at least you can understand it.
Say unlike this item in the ChangeLog: [PATCH] Important Bluetooth fixes
Uhhh... yeah... okay... they're important, but why?
Cutting logs without damaging young trees and the rest of the forest.
It's not meant to haul a pile of logs. Just the one that it cut. If you look at the second photo, that shows exactly what it's going to do. Cut a log, strip it of it's branches (I've seen those cutters before. That's what the roller looking parts are for), and stack it for some other truck to haul away.
The purchased company's name disappearing happens all the time. Look at Cisco. It's bought piles of companies, but you always have the Cisco name by itself.
The name change to Monday never really happened. It was supposed to happen when PwC Consulting was spun off of PricewaterhouseCoopers in an IPO. The spin off got canceled with the IBM purchase announcement.
However, if the IBM deal fails like the HP deal did, then perhaps Monday will return.
HP can't sell printers to Dell anymore (or something to that effect).
It's not can't. It's won't. Big difference.
There are rumors that Dell is going to enter the printer market with Dell-labeled printers ("Dude, you printed!"). So HP stopped supplying printers to a potential competitor. It's all rather stupid.
EETimes' article is superior if you're looking for just hardware info, but if design process from a management point of view is your thing then the Digital Chain article is better. Either way Portelligent still provided the info for both articles.
MSIE for Macintosh and Windows do not share the same codebase so many of the vulnerabilities reported for IE for Windows is irrelevant on the Mac. For example, all of the Outlook and ActiveX stuff won't work on a Mac.
I got confused with Mac OS X Server. rotatelogs was in Mac OS X Server before the July Security Update. You could turn it on and off with the Server Admin GUI.
I'm not sure when rotatelogs got added to regular Mac OS X. My mistake. I've only been working with Apache on X Server.
The A-10 grows on you after awhile. I think people think it's "ugly" because it doesn't look like any high-performance fighter jet: big wings, huge engines hanging on pylons, boxy shape, etc.

Then they were supposed to spin off the group on it's own and rename to Monday. Just like Anderson did with Accenture.
However, if the IBM deal fails like the HP deal did, then perhaps Monday will return.
I think so, Brain, but if we didn't have ears, we'd look like weasels.
Sorry. Couldn't resist and it seemed quite fitting.
Here's the fixed link to Crucial's video card.

See News.com article for details.
Also, it's not just Apple that receives the whole quarter. See the 1392 LA website for details.
MPEG-2 playback is now available. However, you have to pay for it. Probably to cover license fees.
Uhhh... no. See the SSDF Rating List.
In the long run your URL will be stable as the original article and my corrected link use a URL that changes whenever Kevin writes a new article.
However, it looks like Kevin writes an article a week and with /.'s short attention span, the current article link should be fine.
Here's the fixed link. The submitter didn't code the HTML correctly.

If you're in a lab environment, Macintosh Manager and NetBoot should be able to help with the software distribution problem.

rotatelogs was there before the security update. It's one of few Apache things you can tweak with the GUI.
Apple purchased just SoundJam from Casady & Greene. The rest of Casady & Greene is still a separate company.
Perhaps. But if the asteroid were large enough and the location was bad, the tsunami generated would be devastating.
At least flame the right radio telescope.
