It is fixed. Not only did it browse perfectly through my Active Directory domain to my XP SP2 shared printer, but then it actually installed updated CUPS drivers when I selected the printer. And the Word doc I printed from my Mac off my Active Directory shared home folder worked beautifully. Who says you can't integrate a Mac into a Windows network??
Many of us expand our skills by taking on small contract/project work in skillsets that are outside our comfort zone. I learned PHP/MySQL this way, by taking on a php project for a modest amount of money. Over the years, I've used this method to learn.Net, Java, PHP, JavaScript and countless other technologies. We all agree that the language isn't as important as a geek who is willing to learn, so one great way to do that is with "Side Work".
Some of my best work has been on side projects, because often you don't have the time constraints that you have in your day job and you can experiment with more high-risk/high-payout things. Side work has also been more rewarding, as well. I've done web projects for schools of family members, my home owner's association, and my mom's church. Again with volunteer side projects, you can even DICTATE what technology (or just fail to specify) you'll be using. The home owner's association wants a nice website? Sure, I'll do it for free, but it will be in Java, and hosted on XServes. Why? Because that's what I want to learn today.
I've always enjoyed my side projects. Some of them have earned me some fantastic money. Some of them have taught me important skills and lessons. Remember that it is your time, so do something useful with it. I always pass the side projects through the 2 year old filter. "Will they take time away from my 2 year old?" For me, that is the most important question. If I can do them after his bedtime, and they are worthwhile because I'm either learning something I want to, or contributing to something I want to (or both), then I'll take it on.
You're missing the point. I came to C# from Java. Learning new frameworks isn't HARD, it is time consuming. I could write MONO on my mac without even blinking an eye, but learing Cocoa -- whether through ObjectiveC or through Java will require more pain than Mono would.
Now, all that argument aside, why the hell would anyone want to write Mono for their Mac?:)
That's an easy answer to this question. What if you do c# development for a living and you don't want to waste any of your aging brain cells trying to learn a completely new framework just so you can tinker around on your shiny new mac.
I don't really care about the mail account, I have plenty of those, but the extremely simple publishing of photo albums and slide shows and movies makes the.Mac worth it for me. My time is worth so much more than the $100 that.Mac costs. I connect the camera to the mac, pick the good photos and publish them to a new online photo album in something like 8 clicks. It's either lazy or smart.
I suspect there are quite a few more than 27 people waiting for it. Personally, I'll buy it without the intention of playing it very often, just to support companies that take the time to port fresh games to the Mac. id is certainly one of those companies.
I had the same problem and used a small little app that turns your PST file in Windows into an IMAP server. You then create an account and just drag and drop your mail from the "IMAP" account to your local mail store folders. It took a long time for my 7 year archive of mail, but worked like a charm. I apologize for not having the name, but my PC is now a MythTV box:)
I just finished a degree completion program at American Intercontinental University and I would recommend it to anyone considering UOP. They were roughly the same price, but I got my BS in Info Technology in just 13 months, and UOP wanted over 2 years. The coursework was relatively fresh, including Windows2000, Redhat 7.3, Java, Oracle 8i, etc.
Two thumbs up, and nobody seems to care what school name is on the degree. I really think that matters more for advanced degrees.
You should have followed the link I gave for the Compaq tablet. It has a detachable keyboard, so it is considered a dual form factor tablet. It can be used in Slate mode, or with the keyboard attached as an ultraportable laptop. When not necessary, the keyboard flips behind the screen out of the way, or detaches completely for a lighter tablet. Here's an even better link: Compaq TC1000
I hate to post an opposing opinion, but I have had my Compaq TC1000 TabletPC for nearly a month now, and it has truly revolutionized the way I use computers. As a laptop, it is powerful enough to run SQL Server 2000, IIS and Visual Studio.Net, allowing me to have a full development environment with me wherever I go.
As a tablet, I have learned to keep handwritten notes and sketches of my architectural meetings, which are later searchable without having to convert them to text first. It records voice dictation for small notes, and does nearly flawless speech recognition for larger documents. Every way I want to use this computer is covered, with and without keyboard or pen.
It is small enough to throw into any carrying bag you need it to fit in, and the resolution of 1024x768 is extremely crisp and clear, especially using the Clear Type feature of XP.
I think people who spend so much time bashing Tablets haven't bothered to see how they have revolutionized computing. Maybe not for you, but certainly for me.
For those considering a foray into the Tablet market, I highly recommend the Compaq product.
I've got VMWare workstation loaded on it, and its 30 GB drive has plenty of room for virtual machines of all my favorite operating systems...
Don't bash it until you try it. Blanket comments like "most worthless market sector" aren't doing anyone any favors, especially the people out there that could benefit from this technology. And if it isn't for you, that's fine too.
Excuse me, mr. Troll, but as a bradley gunner for 3 years, I can say that my ASVAB score was 99 and I chose infantry because it offered me $22,500 for college. I had the entire range of military specialties at my disposal but choose infantry for the college money. Me and my Army funded college degree had a wonderful time blowing things up. There were tons of idiots in the infantry, and tons of intelligent people who were doing exactly what I did -- getting money for education that we couldn't come up with elsewhere. Keep your trolls to yourself and show some common sense. I'm sure there are even some intelligent Blockbuster assitant managers who would argue with your intimations of intelligence.
My Tivo is such a part of my life now, I find myself reaching for the console to rewind live radio streams when I'm driving in the car. I'm always struck by a Homer Simpson "D'Oh!" realizing that my radio hasn't caught up to my TV, but I'm willing to pay for the same concept in a car stereo. Really, the technology is there, why don't they exist?
Didn't get the traffic report? Didn't understand the words to that song? Didn't hear where the Beltway Sniper hit his last victim?
Just hit the button on your car radio. It should even be inexpensive, because the scheduling isn't so important. Just pause and rewind... that's all I'm asking for.
This is all good and fine, but when will the damned GPS features of my SPH-N300 phone start working? They promised April and it's now August... Their press releases say nothing about GPS at all, nor the "cool" features that GPS enabled web browsing will/would offer.
In the article, ElcomSoft's statement about backing Skylarof, expecting nothing but the truth, etc. are just amazing. This is the second time I've read a press release from them where they condemn the US DOJ for holding the programmer and not the company employing the programmer responsible. Their press releases have all made me rethink what I thought of as good employers here in the good old US of A. Would your employer go to the mat for you? Think about it.
I'm tired of people making apologies for not working as linux administrators or open source programmers. There are a goodly number of people in this world who make a living writing code for whichever system the managers deem fit, and a goodly number of administrators who administer a network full of whatever operating systems the business deems fit for survival. Why don't you wear your job with pride and be thankful that you are employed. There are others who aren't so lucky.
I said it once, I'll say it again... the RIAA had the chance to work with Napster and create a simple subscription based service where people would pay for the rights to download music. Then they could have been dealing with just one online music service. Now they've got more than a handfull, on different technologies, and they're never going to stop them. It would have been so much easier for them to strike up a $9.95 all you can download deal with Napster.
who finds the Pentium X misnomer amusing. Pentium = 5th generation, Pentium 4 = 4th generation of the 5th generation. It's a good thing there aren't Pentium 4.1's and Pentium 3.2's.

Hmmm. No I don't recall anything similar. I only use smb sharing, I tried to set up AFP on the Win2000 box but had no clue what I was doing.

Yeah! A real geek would have gotten married here. Like maybe in October of 2000. In a Yukon. At 11:30 PM. On a saturday. Maybe.

That's just what I said the other day! (/. is turning into Mac/Tivo Central.)
That's exactly what I said this morning. The technology exists, I don't see why this isn't happening already.
Except for the fact that Columbine is the name of a school, not a city. The city was Littleton, CO.
I'll stop nitpicking now.

DoS attack. There have to be limited resourses at the security hotline help desk, right?
-SNIP- since the verb 'on' is usually not used possessively (as most verbs are not used possessively).

UM... Since when is "on" a verb?
