if I remember -- and it has been a while -- part of it was the more plentiful nd varied domesticated animals that Europeans had gave them exposure to new diseases to which they then built up resistences to (which other cultures did not have).
It is a neat book. If you like to think about this type of thing you would most likely enjoy it very much...

My desktop keeps giving kernal panics, even if I just let it sit there w/out logging in. If I loggin, I get a few minutes of normal activity before *panic* -- I'm at a bit of a loss...
The absolute corners in OS X are used by the screen saver/screen locking app. The corners can be set to be 'hot corners' to trigger the screen saver. By default, I think, they are unused.
There isn't a true equivalent to Window's 'Start' button, though -- no one piece of the Mac GUI gets that high a percentage of the use. Which is a whole 'nother thing to talk about...
My new cable in Virginia has a station (News World International) thats mostly Canadian news. It seems so serious and credible compared to CNN/Fox/MSNBC.
My experience w/ vim and emacs has been as command line applications - are there GUI versions of these? (too lazy to look for myself...)//// Pepper has a nice usuable GUI -- I used it on Mac OS X for while and even paid for my copy. A good cross-platform GUI text editor would work like Open Office in providing a familiar application for OS X or Win users/switchers to Linux.
I liked the idea of having contact+calendar info with me, but a Palm thing always seemed excessive for that. Now that I can carry my music and my contact+calendar info it starts to become compelling.
I understand the point you are making about the speed-learning courses, but you snidely broadly denegrate community college and that's not appropriate. I recently took a semester of Java at the local cc and I can't imagine a better foundation (and for like $200!). The prof. brought real-world experience from a major corporation, along with a very thorough knowledge and great enthusiasm. CC can be a very affordable way to really learn something. w/out having to sit for a 4 yr CS degree.
I just found a job through flipdog.com. I found that flipdog consistently had more listings than monster or dice for my areas. Come to think of it, I found my last job a few years ago on monster. So -- it can work.
Check out the excellent MacSFTP or Transmit. With either you can make an SFTP connect and then open text files in BBEdit. Very easy, reliable, secure, and all works together seamlessly (as if they were one program).
On some of the OS X/Darwin machines I've put pages on, the URL must have the trailing slash to work. An example would be something like http://site/~usrname/ would work, but http://site/~usrname does not. Can anyone suggest how/where this behavior is set?
but, in fact, the price difference is even worse in the laptop market than the desktop
I'd have to disagree with that. Price comparisons that I've seen that take into account stuff like the included ethernet and wireless-ready nature of Mac laptops tend to call the price difference negligable.
Every x86 laptop owner that I know has spent some time dealing with some random hardware issue like a modem needing drivers or just not working. I just watched my boss spend 2 days trying to get the modem/network card working on his Sony. That wasted time right there eats up any cost differences that might exist between x86 hardware and Mac hardware
Every month I open my cable bill and I'm like, 'damn thats a lot of money'... I've just dropped to basic + internet and will save $45 next month. I'll save $500+ over the next 12 months. Will I miss the extra channels that much?
Is this post off-topic? maybe, maybe not... Voting with your wallet is certainly a way to influence what goods/services get or continue to be offered at which prices...

And I'll just guess that there'a no Hank III either...

I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but QT Pro has a ton of functionality for $25.

It worked for Apple...
That is a wonderfully informative and concise response...

That chapter is a lot out of date w/ regards to the flexability and openess of Darwin and Mac OS X.
...and I was just recently wondering why I might upgrade, thinking that I would wait until someone sent something that I couldn't open.
In Acrobat Reader, select 'View->Continuous' on the menu bar. Preview on OS X has a similar setting in a similar place.
Or did you mean something else?

Given the chance, get the G4 machine. And I've seen very noticable differences between otherwise similar Macs that have different bus speeds...
please show me the $500 intel-based laptop that compares to a ToBook...

Sen:te has put together something that works seamlessly and automaticaly w. OS X's Mail.
But you are right - the lack of Linux (or Mac) support is not what has kept secure email from becoming more wide-spread.
