Another thing my friend said was that (pre-NeXT) there was talk of putting OD inside QuickTime. That would've scored on the cross-platform target. QuickTime seemed to be more of a platform for interactive multimedia then, now it's mostly positioned as a movie player.
I worked with a Software Engineer who worked on OpenDoc, which was about the only good thing aside from QuickTime that Apple had put out in that era. Some of you might remember the demo of an ActiveX control running inside an OpenDoc container. When NeXT took over, they hacked OpenDoc to run within NeXT's ojbect model. The Steve (himself) just said no, NeXT's object model is better. That's when my friend left Apple. Can't say that I blame him. OpenDoc had a lot going for it.
I don't have any numbers to back this up, but it seems that SF was the perfect sort of place for Kozmo, small in size, big in population, high-tech, people who can't drive places, 'cause they can't park when they get there. My main gripe was how slow the website was (no broadband) and how painful it was to place an order.
The theory behind the seatbelt bullshit (and motorcycle helmets) is that your injury costs society (due to our semi-socialized medical-industrial-insurance complex). Anything that costs society is subject to legislation. That said, California is a great place to get out of. Spent 10 years there and don't regret leaving at all. Have you been DMV'd yet? Just you wait!
A nuker made my neighbor the Most Important Person in the dorm. A hotplate would be ok, too.
Also important are NoDoz, a bong (or at least a pipe or papers), lighters, coffee or other favorite caffinated beverage, sugar, non-dairy creamer, whipits (and dispenser), tea bags, cell phone (limited airtime), iPod (for warez)...
Ahhh, Cyberdog... I remember fondly this thing. I used it in spite of itself. Even tho it was unstable and had terrible javascript problems. However it was (one of?) the first to take the browser metaphor to you own desktop. OpenDoc would have been a nice technology to keep. Jobs didn't want a part of it, even though it would have been trivial to port it.
I _mostly_ agree. IANAGeneticist, but I work with many. This sort of 'loss of function' gene work is probably benign. What's more questionable is splicing of genes of different species (or even genus) into an organism. Also agriculture companies who engineer their crops to be resistant to their own herb- and insecticides in order to sell more of both raise serious alarms in my head. Test and label.
I'd buy Poole's argument if the new Spidy had been directed by anyone else. Who but Raimi has the street cred to pull this off CGI and all? I think Sam paid his dues with live action fx. If Poole had taken Raimi's path and worked his way through movie after movie, I'm sure he'd kill to use this big budget to make Spider-Man EXACTLY how he envisioned him - using CGI. Maybe if Poole shared Raimi's unwavering love of film instead of Spider-Man, we'd be seeing more of this obviously talented man.
I'm learning it right now-tho I'm a PHP fan-due to 'corporate mandate'. The mySQL administration piece is Very Nice. It allows you to set up your databases, tables, user access permissions (both to the db and web access to the db) add data to the tables, etc. I might end up still using PHP in conjunction with Lasso, when it makes sense to do so (file uploading comes to mind). If Lasso were free (beer or speech) it would be praised highly.
My employer expressly forbids anyone but HR from giving written recomendations. Even then, it's pretty much down to name, rank, s/n. This is to avoid suits from both former employee and their future employers.
Why bother with netatalk? OSX does smb out of the box (and IIRC, appletalk is disabled by default). You lose some things, like a share browse list (hopefully won't be lost for long...)
read the post dood, he's having problems with XDarwin (XFree 4.1). FWIW so am I. I've been beating on it all day. The binary fails on my G3, I'm working on source, but I'm not too hopefull after seeing this.

OS X 10.1 has appletalk off by default. To turn it on:
System Preferences->Network->Built-in Ethernet->AppleTalk->Make AppleTalk Active
Do you really live there? I giggle everytime I drive down Borland or Stafford...

Maybe, but there's something about the good ol' 'THWOK' of a sword-severed head...

Oregon Health Sciences University. Don't know much about it, but did some work with them in the past.
