NetWare is dead - nobody runs it, anymore. Why do you view this as 'progress' for OS/X?
Virtual desktops, now -that- would be progress for OS/X - I'd like to see -that- problem addressed, rather than celebrating OS/X client access to a NOS which, while once king of the hill, is on life-support.
What 'progress' are you going to celebrate next, a new OS/X client for Banyan VINES, or OS/2 LAN Manager, heh?
you're asking for book recommendations for the 'smart' - since smart people don't do things like ask for book recommendations on Slashdot, it's unlikely you'll be able to comprehend any of the answers you receive.
CCs are indeed very expensive, and have their own issues (brittleness/cracking after a few dozen reuses, etc.). They aren't suitable for craft intended to be flown constantly, with the regularity of normal aircraft.
The plasma thing sounds really cool, until you think about it. After the first couple of MiGs come apart in mid-air, I'm sure the Russians will scrap that idea.
At those speeds, wings are a hindrance. One finds that the leading surfaces must be made of unobtanium.
The correct model for spacecraft is to take off and land on a tail of fire, as God and Robert Heinlein intended. The DC/X proved that; 11 successful test flights, including an 11-degree 'walking tilt', before NASA took over that program and (deliberately?) crashed the prototype on their first try with it.

I mean, Europeans only bathe, like, 1/month as it is; can you imagine the foetid odor which will cling, napalm-like, to every man, woman and child for miles - oops, sorry, *kilometers* - downwind of the place?
is that the folks who make enough money to buy a Macintosh on which to run EverQuest will soon end up losing their jobs and families because they're obsessed with the game . . . and so they won't be able to afford new Macintoshes and upgrades.
So, Apple and Sony will have to come up with a way to get some 'new blood' into this consumer base, or, within a year or so, it'll become extinct!
is to keep out lame-o Slashdotters who once tried to read _Goedel, Escher, Bach_ and now think they've come up with a Unified Theory of Life, the Universe, and Everything which revolves around royalty-free music downloads and mad WarCraft skillz.
Nobody gives a damn about Passport, or Liberty, or any of that crap. Nobody who runs a Web site worth a damn is going to allow authentication to/from anything he himself doesn't control.
is a move in the wrong direction, pal. Confiscatory taxes, grossly over-regulated work environment - and that's -if- you can get a work-permit. It's very, very difficult for foreign nationals to get work-permits in the U.K., especially in the high-tech field.
Right - and even dynamically, finding an IP spewing files via Kazaa, adding that IP to the ToS-setting ACL, then taking it off if/when the offending behavior ceases.
Modern routers and layer-3 switches have Quality-of-Service, or QoS, features, which allow specified types of traffic to be policed at any desired rate.
So, if one can identify the ports/protocols used by the lusers in question, one can then use QoS features to rate-limit the appropriate ports so as to make file-swapping useless, -without- blocking the ports.

Maybe you should learn how to 'write code', instead.
If you don't, it might throw people off . . .

they're going to re-brand their distro as 'XENIX' and their CEO will be sued for sexual harrassment?
why do you need anything else besides the Periodic Table? ;>

who need 'em, anyways? Always honking the bloody horns, begging for fishes - about time we gave 'em the old heave-ho, if you ask me.

Yes, indeed.
