I've seen alot of negative comments here about Hydra being Mac only. There is talk of making Hydra open source, perhaps you should contact the Hydra team and express intrest in porting Hydra to your favorite OS? If they do make it open source it's surely going to be because of intrest in the project and, as stated on their page, it surely will be a large undertaking due to the fact that it's written entirely in Objective C and Cocca. Unfortunately this means a complete re-write will be needed, but you didn't have anything to do this weekend, did you?;-)
Also, if you want to get active about making Rendezvous a reality on more that just the Mac (which is what Apple and Zeroconf are hoping for), Zeroconf.org is a good place to start, and there is a SourceForge project devoted to Zeroconf on Unix and Linux as well.
It has a mechanism to kick people and lock others out on a document-specific basis. Let's just home lamers don't ride any netsplits and spam your documents with offerbots.
This is a one-up to such a system. This allows people to do the editing at the same time, and one person's edits affect the other's document and vice versa. I think this might be a nice addition to a CVS system where is someone has a file checked out, you can open it "with" them and do work, and this pretty much resolves any conflict issues CVS needs to deal with.
The site also mentions somewhere that this is on the to-do list. One of the new features will allow you to change syntax highlighting colors in the preferences.
LOL i was going to mention that too, but I decided I didnt' wanna be nitpicky;-)
My point was more along the lines of Apple simply does the browser thing, like MS has. Except I have a feeling Apple's will be more to point a web browser and not a browser/filesystem browser/essential OS component.

Wow, that was well crafted, as if Balmer himself read my post and called the marketing dep...well wait. I won't flame, you actually do make a good point, but here is where I stand on that:
Microsoft is the great equalizer; if they weren't arround, someone else would quickly fill their place. (And no, that someone would not be a distributed open-source product without so much as a marketing department!)
If Microsoft where to dwindle and perish, would the new market leader achive dominance the way Microsoft has, or will they most likely be whoever has the highest quality alternitive products at the time?
I would hope we all learned a lesson with Microsoft, and perhaps the industry (all of it's sectors) won't be quite so forgiving with a company of such, er..."high stature" in the future.
Put simply: they try to be everything and everyone. They are always trying to be the "next big thing", but not by putting all their efforts into making their current endeavours into quality results, but instead trying to spread their manpower (and therefore their streams of income) over the vast technology market.
Oh, sure other companies do this too, but not the way MS does. Apple, for example, doesn't have their own database software (anthough they do have their own browser now). Sun doesn't have their own search engine. Redhat doesn't have a special online service. And Google does not have their own OS.
Seriously, as the largest software company in the world, Microsoft could still make it to step three (if you've been under a rock for 2 years: "Profit!") without trying to be the one and only market leader for everything technology related. They need to make Windows, and perhaps their Office Suite, and make them good, and less expensive. They need to work with other developers, even if those developers aren't paying them top dollar to be part of the MSDN. Open Standards. Simplicity.
Quality.
And this is why we hate Microsoft. Greed before quality.
Chimes of death as well as Mac startup noises can be found here. Note that you can make most ADB-based Macs (pre-USB) "crash test" on startup by pressing Apple-Keyboard Power Button just as the startup chime is playing. This will, however, hang the Mac at the sad mac screen and you will need to reboot it with the Apple-Control-Power Key combo.
Apple-Power Key is the keyboard shortcut for the Programming Interupt Switch, just like Apple-Control-Power Key is the shortcut for the Reset Swtich. The Power Key is the button on the keyboard with the small leftward-pointing triangle.
Our Time-Warner guy did, and in fact gave me tips on how to add more Macs to our setup once we had it running. So, you're not defrauding the ISP because they allow Macs to be connected. It was just a simple matter of undertrained personel, not company policy.
You are also not modifying the cable modem in any way, simply connecting a different device to it. You can't get in trouble for that unless the device you connect is designed specifically to mess with your cable modem or the Time-Warner service itself. Therefore, a computer wouldn't count, because it has other, valid uses.
Gettting busted for hooking up a Mac would be like the electric company busting me for pluging in a toaster which they "do not support" (unless my toaster was designed to overload the grid or cause some other kind of damage, which a Mac certainly isn't).
I see your point. That is reather disturbing, but perhaps we've already worked that out?
If the US was going in on this EXTERMLY HIGH PROFILE mission to take out Saddam's regime, I certainly hope our government isn't STUPID enough to have done it without simultaniously planning how to fix the place up afterwards, as well as plan the war itself. We might already be past food, water, and medicine, and on downthe line as far as cel phones?
The difference being, of course, there is no unedited Iraqi transcript from CNN and there is no unedited American transcript on al-Jazeera.
So what we end up with is a completely exagerated record of the war, from all accounts. This will be great reference material for the bigots and Jihad grudge holders alike in future generations.
Eh, but who cares, we're selling Pepsi (and falafel?) like a motherfucker!
Officials said the change, which immediately drew criticism from civil-liberties advocates, is necessary to ensure investigators have access to information that can't be confirmed but could take on new significance later, FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said.

In the July 2002 issue of Digital Producer Magazine, Charlie White reported on a head-to-head duel between a single-processor Dell 2.53GHz Pentium® 4 -- the Dell Precision Workstation 340 -- and the fastest Macintosh then available -- a 1GHz dual-processor G4.
All I have to say is I'm waiting for Apple's new motherboards and probably until the IBM 970 before I get a new Mac, but i get a feeling After Effects for Mac has more to do with this benchmark than crappy hardware...
Also interesting to note: they bought the machine from Apple, who charge ludicrous prices for RAM of any sort. If they bought the fast box with next to no RAM in it and bought compatable commodity PC RAM (which, yes, works), they could probably have gotten a competitive price compared to the Dell, at least better than what they actually got.
As the article also stated, if you had bothered to READ it, is that in the EU and in other Arab nations there are many films of Iraqi civilians that are severly injured as result of the bombings but such films get very little to no airtime here in the United States.
I'm well aware. I knew even before I read this article. So tell me, do you think on Iraqi news they just say "and here are some more corpses of people who accidentally got in the way", or do you think they show colapsed skulls of civilians and say "the infidels are ruthless bloodthursty animals and will kill anyone, civillian or millitary, who get in their way"? After all, Saddam told his people that the US is "trapped and fleeing," IIRC.
This is true, you never ever see mangled corpses on American TV, no matter what. Even if it's a story that has nothing to do with the United States. Perhaps you might see one from a distance, or if it is not visibly injured in any way, but, for example, the Iraqi with the exploded skull who's picture I have seen in numerous places, that would never be on American TV,and it's not just because they're "hiding" the war from us.
You mean like this, or THIS, which where posted late this afternoon, Eastern Standard Time, and since updated with names and two additional pictures?
Don't think for one god damned minute you're media has any reasonable fraction less propaganda on it than ours, just because it happens to be screaming "America is wrong for this! Join the world rally!"

Hydra is good for those using Apple's Project Builder, however.
On that note, being a *n?x lameass, I could never get remote screens or X sessions to work properly, but I imagine it's great fun
