Just got a 10.5 inch Acer Aspire one D150. The sales guy said they were no longer shipping a Linux version. I have a strong educational as well as political commitment to Linux. The custom 3rd party Linux4one Ubuntu distro had terrible wifi throughput (and en0 just wasn't even there) when I installed it, so I tried again with openSUSE 11.1. This time the networking was ok, but the webcam and sound were non functional. No driver support from Acer so it's all word of mouth. Very disappointing. I'll keep trying though.
Does anyone have a shared calendar application to recommend (hopefully not hosted by a Web 2.0 startup that won't exist six months from now) that syncs calendar entries with Blackberry ON A MAC?
Maybe this segment is not significant enough for RIM and/or developers to spend time on, but I can't find anything that actually works reliably. Some software syncs contacts, but all seem to balk (or break) on calendars.
When is Apple going to HDMI these boxes, and take us a step forward like they did with FireWire? Of course, by the time they go HDMI, hi-def screens will probably be onto the next video connector (UDI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Display_Inter face or DisplayPorthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPor t), and we can all rush out and replace our $5000 plasmas with the latest toys.
Can RH possibly integrate the http://hula-project.org/ into this roll out? I would really like to have THE non-M$ directory/email/calendaring system running for my school district: single sign-on and email accounts for teachers, staff, students, parents... with Mac OS X Server directory delegation, Kerberos, etc.
Empire galactic control has raised shields that block access to the Death Star, as rebels wait for the secret Jedi Google to copy the plans to the rebel "mirror".
Sounds like a secondary market for "classic" versions of iTunes (good ol' 4.2, 4.5, 4.6) is in the making, as Apple piles on new watermarking strategies.
Kind of like buying vinyl, only for software.
Then of course you have to mod your iPod shuffle to work with iTunes Classic. More fun for DRM hackers.

These guys have been churning out great value for CRT and LCD monitors for many years now--why bother going elsewhere? They supply a vast range of sizes, prices and features, so you can easily pick the one that fits your (analog|DVI|flat|CRT|15|17|19|20|21) profile.
I run a two-school network with all kinds of fussy Apple client management software, and IE will no longer cut it for me--it is constantly crashing and freezing many computers. Mozilla, however, is much more stable, configurable, and has more of an educational message behind it (yes, middle schoolers, one day you too can be given CVS check-in permission on a project like this). Happy 5th birthday. Please keep the Mac Classic build going for another year.
In the 70's it was Cap'n Crunch, now it's Pringles. Odds are P&G will soon be modifying the design of their "snack" packaging to make sure that 2.4 GHz waves can't use 'em.
Is this the same thing as the Xerox-PARC hyperbolic map thingy? BTW, http://www.map.net, where the demo is, is way, way, down this morning, probably thanks to all the/. traffic.
If this book is one of the Holy Books (apparently the Holiest of the Holy), what other gospels, commentaries, and books of faith on *nix would the community recommend?
All this Service Pack 6, Option Pack 2 stuff drives me crazy with MS products. How come they stopped versioning with Windows NT 4. I used to LIKE Windows for Workgroups 3.11 (note that the OS wasn't even near stable/usable until a.11 release). Nowadays, you have to guess (hmm... I think Service Pack 3 might be OK, or shoul I wait 'til 4). Hey, they could even put the version number INSIDE the year: "MS Announces Windows 2000.01.28 Advanced Server" or, even, "MS Announces Windows 2000.01.28T18:00:12-08:00 Advanced Server for Professionals" since they probably have enough build and test machines up there in Redmond to release a "pack" about five times an hour. Whatever...

A killer kombination for Open Source.

Did you read the man pages for this? Does Apple have some Tcl stuff now associated with their daemons? What possiblities does this open up?
