dont blame the tech for what bones management decided to throw at him
our servers are mostly OS9 as well because the old computers migrate into servers and our office is mostly mac-based (blame the person who's name is on the company for making that decision 15 years ago)
I'd rather hear from someone who has a tough situation and how they figured a way out of it than from someone who has all the resources they want

Then out comes the iMac with USB only for serial devices, and it caught on...
the iMac (1998) came out relatively close to Windows98, which made USB work on PCs (good luck trying to get anything working on USB on Win95). In other words, USB took off because of both Microsoft and Apple. Scary huh?
Apparently USB was around for a while, but didn't really pick up until Apple added it to it's machines
Lessie...Apple added USB to its machines with the introduction of the iMac in 1998. Hmmm...that seems to be right about when WINDOWS 98 came out and made all those USB ports on all those computers (my 1997 Gateway for instance) start working right....yep, must have been Apple that made USB work!
I built a dual mp 2000 with a very nice coolermaster case. The stock AMD fans were LOUD. When one of them died recently, AMD replaced both fans for me (warranty). The new fans (blue instead of green) are many many many times quieter than the originals.
I come from an archviz firm that has used FormZ extensively for over 5 years now...please indicate wherein this wonderful program we can find a sketch-type interface.
Note: simplicity of modeling simple objects is NOT the same as a sketch interface.
HD cost is quickly dropping to similar prices as tape...HD is definately much faster...and tape only has a recommended shelf storage life of 6 months (the tape lasts longer than that, but that's the suggested maximum time to expect before data degredation)
Oh, I do have a smart attractive girlfriend who likes her computers cute, shiny, and able to get incredible fps in StarCraft. She's a computer geek, a gaming geek...but I didn't use geeky things to attract her, and she doesn't hang out with many geeks either.
What's funny, or perhaps expected, is that tall people are, as a rule, blissfully unaware of the advantages their height affords them. They bitch about trivialities like fitting into movie seats while attractice girls fling themselves at them and they command undue attention in a conference room
Why dont you go band yourself around the head a bit with the sharp corner of a plank of wood. Now you know what it's like to hit your head on oepn cabinets. Try stuffing yourself into a suitcase the next time you fly. Now you know what its like to sit in an airplane for 6 hours and not even be able to put the tray down. We get sick of everyone asking us to take stuff down from high shelves for them. You put it up there! Go get a chair you lazy slob! A Napolean complex is when short people get overly extroverted, controlling, etc., as a way to make up for their height. (I know many short people, and even had a midget as a roommate...its not true of all short people but it is for a vast majority). Being tall is not all advantageous, and the disadvanatages are not trivalties. You know those nifty docker pants that are geek friendly? (the ones with the extra cellphone/pda pockets in the seam?) They don't exist in my size. There are cars I physically cannot drive, and others that I can't even ride in. Oooh, so you have to ask for a booster-seat at the restaurant. I've been to restaurants where my knees lift the table off the ground. Oooh, you have to stretch slightly to be comfortable washing dishes in the sink, I have a bad back from bending over to do the same. You can shop in the kid's department (which is cheaper). I have to pay a premium for larger sizes. Oh, and btw, Big and Tall usually means just that, AND, rarely ever does it mean OR; which means that close are always huge and loose.
Actually, regular Maya cannot open files created on PLE. This is to prevent studios from putting PLE on all their workstations and only having one legit copy of Maya on the machine that will submit the rendering to the render farm.
I *did* notice one thing about KaZaA Lite however (not bullshitting)....The other day, my primary machine's firewall displays a warning regarding an out-bound connection attempt from that box. This box wasn't running KaZaA Lite. Nor is it installed on this system
Well, if Kazaalite isn't on that machine, then Kazaalite must be the culprit trying to initiate an outgoing connection right??? There can't be anything else on that machine trying to make outbound connections right??? Nooooooo, of course not....
Apple IIe and Kaypro maybee...but the C64 booted into its operating system, and then you loaded and ran the applications. In fact, I dont remember having a single game that used the floppy as a boot disk.

About 100 years ago a Russian photographer used the same technique to generate color photograps.
And Disney put it in the "Star Tours" ride c. 1991.

Ask my mother, she got forced out of Arthur Anderson (local office politics) about a year before they went up in flames.

good thing my router has been out for a while. granted, they probably picked up the neighbor's WAPs when i'm down at the pool...
They've already had honeypots in locked rooms for a couple of years at USC

You do have a Napolean complex.
Next time you go and try to convince someone in an industry to move to Linux, at least try to do some research first.
Maya works on Linux, natively. It's also avaliable on WinNT, IRIX, MacOS9, and OSX.
Actually, regular Maya cannot open files created on PLE. This is to prevent studios from putting PLE on all their workstations and only having one legit copy of Maya on the machine that will submit the rendering to the render farm.
thats my point!!!!!
it's not Kazaa that did it...something else did
