At NeXT(once upon a time) and Apple if you think IIRC and IM, respectively, are disabled you're too dense for light to pass through.
The point of interviews is to hire people with intergrity and passions about what they want to bring to a company, not just technical buzzwords.
Most skills are learned on the job.
Make it a simple rule:
Download MP3s and your As Will Employee Status is terminated.
Offer a Server that runs solely for the purpose of people to store MP3s, locally and for the staff to hear.
Have a rotation, every hour of music that gets piped, in the background, of employees choices.
Let the staff get exposed to a variety of music, legally and internally.
Cap the user account to 100 MB since you have OS X and I presume you are running NetInfo and NFS. Any UNIX system has these capabilities. NetInfo's key/value pairing relational database design allows managing user accounts more easily than grinding away at Terminal.app.
Switch to Postfix for mail services and filter cap attachment sizes requiring special priviledges to have them increased. Purchasing Panther gives you this out-of-the-box.
Monitor your outgoing transmissions daily and look for trends.
But don't be a DICK and make everyone, but yourself, be a slave to your business.
Talent comes out when people know self-discipline and are given the liberties shown that they are respected for their skills whether they be technical and/or social, in general.
I wonder if Apple will think this too aggressive but an ad campaign to show the costs people spend on their 'habits'/'addictions' versus what they spend on technology purchases.
People whine about the extra price in RAM or if Apple would just shave $200 off hear, offer a headless system and presto!
How about people stop sucking down $12 a day worth of Lattes/Mochas, etc or better yet cut back on their pack a day smoking habit to half a pack.
Over the course of one year you inhale and urinate out costs that could have you with a brand new G5, in some cases, and at least a new iBook for the general case.
Kudos to Starbucks, Tulleys and others who are able to capitalize on the weaknesses of the individual but shame on those that bitch Apple is being too expensive to purchase as their reason for not experiencing OS X.
P.S. I have my daily coffee, I just purchase it at $8 for 3 lbs from Costco and grind it myself. And no I don't smoke. I'm also the same person who goes to Starbucks or Tuley's and orders only a Grande drip, period.
From the article: If students are mistakenly identified as violating the school's policy, the burden is on them to justify what they are researching, invading their privacy in the process, [EFF attorney Jason] Schultz said.
In other words, innocent until proven guilty.
I inferred they are guilty until they prove the allegations proposed, in a criminal and/or civil court, are false.
The burden of proof is on both parties but only the accused will be sanctioned, unless the accused proves one's innocence and files a counterclaim.
Since the University is being legally pressed to protect the intellectual rights of professionals that have not, in writing, sanctioned the distribution and redistribution of their intellectual properties it seems rather obvious that the University being the wall between the Establishment and the Student is enacting a policy to protect them from future litigation.
No educational institution wants to be charged with authorizing illegal activities, period.
It should be rather clear to the students and I'm not an attorney.

Since Steve is a huge fan of The Beattles, highly reveres John Lennon does this "business reality" not smack at the very notion of "THINK DIFFERENT?"
I suppose if I were Steve I would think second upon ever hoisting a 20 ft. photo of Lennon or any Beatle's Member period.
It's amazing because Apple has done mutual promotion by including Lennon and the Beatle Music symbology from the beginnings of Apple Computer Inc. Now how is this repaid to them?
It is repaid, in spades, by slapping a gutless lawsuit that seems to be more of a Public Relations stunt, on Apple Corps behalf, so that people will once more buy another rehashed copy of timeless music that has NOT CHANGED in over 30 years.

A better name and where do you think the future of Apple came from NeXT?
So if APPLE CORPS owns the Apple Trademark for Music Production how will this have an effect on Apple iTunes Music Store that only distributes previously produced music, and does not produce music?
The Medium of Exchange by which music is exchanged is not infringing upon Apple Corps trademark of being the only one that can produce music under that name.
It's called COCOA. The Objective-C Frameworks of AppKit, Foundation Kit, WebCore (yes it borrows and gives back to KDE) are a perfect examples to counter that claim of relatively error-free code.
Circa 1989 NeXTSTEP 2.0 first had this feature and with NXFax you really got to enjoy life, along-side Preview.app that was not nearly what it is today but then that was when most monitors were 2-bit grayscale and not until the 4096 colored NeXTCubes did we get to have more fun.
It's nice to hear that Steve is rolling in every part of OS X that they held back to get right first and then slowly add it in.
I can't wait for the G5 so I can get back to my favorite OS via the NeXT folks and all the efforts the crews have done since the merger.
Rougly 771,000 x 4 periods would be roughly 3 million units per year.
In 4 years that would be rougly 12 million units.
Apple hardware tends to last 4 years so nice guaranteed business.
Assuming interest peaks as the job market goes from the Abyss back to normalcy and people start spending money you'll see more of a surge in purchases as more and more compelling pieces of software keep surfacing with each innovation.
Being Porsche has never been being Ford, but everyone would love to own a Porsche and outside of the battle of Chevy vs. Ford on trucks who the hell wants to settle for a Ford if they can enjoy a Porsche?
Porsche seems to survive and has been around quite a long time.
The Quartz Extreme Rendering Engine original Display Postscript for Openstep now takes advantage of Postscript Primitives in PDF, plus direct hardware rendering to the GPU via other custom APIs to produce an advanced UI that renders line by line in real-time, smoothly with anti-aliasing built-in, plus never a loss of window viewing when one is moving them around the desktop.
I had no idead EPS could manage and update Postscript coordinate points from Global to Local, on the fly?
If you meet anyone that has worked at NeXT and ask them if they had custom software they developed, in-house solely, that still is ahead of most commercial software and they said no, they'd be lying to you.
We had some of the most kickass stuff. I got at least 3 times as much productivity daily than I do now.
Here is hoping OS X version 11 or whatever they call takes off where Keith Ohlfs and company wanted Openstep 4 to go and was never released.
I WANT SOUPS (ask about SOUPS) and perhaps someone like Peter Grafanino (sp? sorry Peter it's been a while) just exactly what is was going to be.
Quartz eXtreme rules btw! Thanks a lot and that goes for Andrew Barnes and the rest of the Quartz team!
But no fucking Programming book is worthy of nearly $100 no matter the author(s).
The pass the R&D efforts of teaching Consultants how to program cost onto a potential tens of thousands of general programmer audience is the same asinine attitude some folks felt and I disagreed with while at NeXT.
Miraculously Steve thought $50k for WebObjects was steep and dropped it to $699. Amazingly, the product still exists.
Drop the price guys, get a better publisher to distribute and cover your costs so you can give us this sure to be excellent resource.
Hell, W. Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the UNI* Environment is definitely cheaper than this worthy book and it already has a place in history.
Openstep 4.0 Beta 1 codenamed MECCA which I have a copy and which, to this day, is still more advanced than OS X Panther, in many UI ways, had a Tabbed Shelf Finder that well let's just say, "Don't say never about Tabbed Interfaces at Apple."
If and when it makes sense concepts from MECCA which are being used may have more added as time goes by whilst the old Mac faithful get used to this IV-Drip approach to Mindshare conversion.
Slashdot Mirror
Port GNUStep frameworks natively within KDE 3.2 and you'll get people stoked about Objective-C again.
WMaker is not the future for Linux.
And it's not NeXTSTEP/Openstep Workspace.app.
After working at NeXT and Apple the Frameworks and time it has taken for GNUStep to develop is very disappointing.
The second biggest hangup is Font Management.
Debian packages are there but they don't work out-of-the-box unless you're running WMaker.
KDE has the app base and expansive future.
Develop native bindings into KDE so we can all enjoy Objective-C.
For Objective-C my money goes to Apple but I'd like to develop something useful for Linux at some point in Obj-C and not C++.
NSController is nothing new.
The framework may have been extended and should have since Openstep to Rhapsody to OS X 10.0 to Panther.
That is the evolution of such frameworks.
It first was NXController back in the NeXTStep 3.3 and prior days, by the way.

Odd but I do declare I see Konsole on that doclet don't you?
No UNIX-like OS Distribution will be without a Terminal Service, period.
No Developer running GCC ro VIM or Emacs, etc., will put up with that shit.
However, I can see SUSE disabling it or "hiding" it until it's activated keeping it less prone to idiot mode.
PRODUCTIVITY!

Only unethical, leacherous scum use pirated software running Windows Products.
Run Linux and preserve your ethics, if you have any.
In all however, OS X and Apple Hardware is second to none.
Read what Panther OS X 10.3 comes built-in and tell me if Windows XP offers the same experience, out of the box.

The man never speaks of technology in a future sense.
He always discusses product technologies after they have been and/or near completion in R&D.
If the G5 Powerbook is coming from his lips you can bet they are working now on other products.
His approach has been the same since the HP days, the NeXT Days and so on and so forth.
John is not one for hype. So this is good to see.

It's called NXHost. OpenSesame.
Don't be an ass.
The Xlibs back in the early 90's didn't come with a fraction of what X does today.
So in that respect it would be news.
