Just stick another 128MB of ram in it. MacOSX really needs to have at least 256MB otherwise it just crawls due to swapping. Nowadays ram is cheap enough that it really isn't a big deal to add. I did so with an iBook and it made a world of difference.
If I am reading the article right they are saying that porting companies may not survive until the linux gaming market becomes mature enought to support them. I really don't think that emulation efforts such as wine are hurting them much since I personally would take a well written port over emulating a game any day. I think the real key for the porting companies is to release the games in a decent time frame. Most people are not going to wait a year for the game they want to play, they will just buy it for windows instead, and then not have any use for the linux version when it does finally come out
My understanding of this is that the article is only encouraging universities not to provide telnet and ftp services to thier students. So rather than allow students to login to thier accounts via telnet they would have to use some secure methode such as ssh.
As long as the normal internet content isn't slowed down to accomodate these new deals. If it does slow stuff down I will just change to another provider, their loss. It is their network, they can do what ever they want to it for better or for worse.
I don't see how anyone can make such a sweeping generalzation that Java is faster than C from these tests. Java and C are both compiler languages, what determines their speed is the compiler, or JVM used. So these tests mearly show that some JVMs can beat some C compilers. Since Java is a fad it is getting a lot of attention and optimization so some JVMs may be better optimized than some C complilers. I just doesn't make any sense to me to attribute speed to a language.

I run linux as my primary operating system and all of my hardware works great. As some others noted agp requires a patch to get it working but other than that I have had absolutly no problems with it.
I have only seen a few "Pan and Scan" and letterbox combo disks. All of the ones I have seen are dual sided which may be why they aren't popular since dual sided disks are more expensive to manufacture and they are inconvenient for the consumer due to the lack of (readable)labels.
My Star Gate DVD has a feature that it contains both the special and standard editions on one disk. I think it uses the the cue list feature you mentioned in order to insert the special edition scenes.
There is a terminal emulator at hpcalc.org that allows me to login to my system. I have actually used this a couple times when I managed to nuke my system with the 2.3.x series kernels. My keyboard/monitor were completely unresponsive and I don't have another system to telnet in from so I just loged in from my calculator to unmount filesystems and reboot.
You can get the mga drivers for XFree 4.0 now. They are at dri.sourceforge.net. They are still in heavy developement but to my understanding they work pretty good. I would try them my self on my G400 but agpgart doesn't work on my system(AMD Irongate chipset).
My Stargate DVD does this. It lets you select which version you want from the title menu. What it seems to do is have the 2 versions of all the chapters that differ and it plays which ever ones are approriate for the version you select.

If you REALLY want to enable root login over ssh just edit you sshd_config file. It is found in /etc/ssh/ In it you should find a line like this:
PermitRootLogin noJust change the no to yes, then restart your ssh daemon.
