BeOS's forte is audio mixing, as such it is the choice OS of the Edirol/Roland UA100, the iZ Tech - RADAR 24 & the SX-1 Integrated Audio Production Station.
There maybe Mac drivers for the Edirol/Roland UA100 but I doubt the Radar 24 & the SX-1 are Mac compatible, seeing these intigrated autio editors were built from the ground up to use BeOS as their OS. Getting Mac OSX to work on either of them would be nearly as hard as porting some hospital machine that uses QNX to MacOSX
We all want the web to be above national legislation & if that's the case we should stop sulking & adapt to the realities this implies.
Meaning taking personal responsability & modifying our computers with code that protects our computer from undesirable code we openly chose to expose our computer to by chosing to go on-line
It really is so simple.
Actually AFAIC even computer viruses shouldn't be banned - IMAO by chosing to go online with a windows computer one is by default chosing to expose one's computer to viruses. One should accept that fact & adapt. Why the business of zeros & ones going up & down cables is the business of govt is beyond me.
Just go visit any tech, teachers college or Uni in Oz to brouse the web in the library.
You're more likely to find a old computer with Win3.11 & Netscape 2 than a Linux/Moz web station, & a 100 times more likely to come across a Win 95, NT, or 2K machine & IE.
When it comes to utilities, where fixed costs make a huge proportion of the cost, govt monopolies are always the most efficient way to go.
Look at the mobile phone mess with 3+ carriers. Costs would be a lot less if one carrier had 100% of the market. Take even just driving down the highway, instead of all 3+ networks having cells along the route, only 1 network of cells would be needed, meaning a monopoly would cut mobile phone network costs in half.
But, but, but, what stops them charging whatever they want? Voters silly, if they charge too much polies lose office, that's the beauty of govt utility monopolies.
The stupidist thing the govt did was sell half of Telstra & bring Optus & Vodaphone in.
Another example is cable TV. Australia just doesn't have a decent market for 2 carriers. You see having the market split in 2 means carriers have to charge more to make up the differance, meaning pathetic uptake.
Now if Telstra was given a cable TV monopoly (infrastructure & billing, not content) economies of scale through having 100% of the market would mean they could charge a lot less (again fixed costs are king in this business) meaning a much higher uptake.
Just look at the Netherlands where the cable monopoly has 99% of all homes in the country plugged in. By being a govt monopoly made it piss easy. Basically everyone got hooked up, covered by the Dutch equilivent of the BBC license, & everyone then gets the free-to-air networks of the Netherlands & Belgium, plus about a half dozen German, French & British free-to-air channels, all for free. If one wants to subscribe to a pay channel one just does & the content goes down the pipe. This makes subscribing to pay TV real easy & has the added benefit of getting rid of more than 99% of TV antennas that were polutting the skyline.
Such a setup is much more efficient than Telstra & Optus building competing cable networks & losing money over fist to the point they had to merge to the point they're only pseudo-competing, & the billions that's been wasted by having 2 sets of ugly cables running along the streets of Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbane
They either drink VB (Victoria Bitter) or their local state offering.
Meaning the NSWelsh that don't drink VB either drink Toohey's New or Resches Pilsener. Queenslanders that don't drink VB drink either Castlemaine 4X or Powers Bitter. South Aussies that don't drink VB drink that disgusting Southark Ale shit. Etc, etc, etc, in regards the rest of the states.
Me I drink Tooheys on hot summer days & Coopers for serious beer drinking.
1st Pasture beef & Lamb are actually cheaper than feedlot beef & lamb. The fact is without huge subsidies over 95% of America's feedlot industry would be unsustainable.
You see feedlot meat has huge costs - corn has to be grown & rotated apon thousands apon thousands of acres of prime agricultural land. Massive ammounts or petroleum based fertilisers are needed, Huge amounts of expensive anti-biotics & hormones are need as the cattle have to cope with living waist high in shit. Ontop of which there's the huge enviromental cleanup costs associated with clearing all that shit & the associated contamination. The abbatoir costs are much higher too, as extreme practices are needed due to the fact the cattle have spent most of their lives waist high in shit & it's embedded into every pore of their skins.
Hence in Oz, where feedlot subsidies don't exist, feedlots only exist for the gourmet & Jap export marbled meet trade, the end supermarket cost is just to high for supermarkets
Cattle can simply graze on huge cattlestations consisting of marginal open woodland & former unsustainable dustbowl cropping land that been semi re-wooded by nature over a couple of decades, They can also drink rank bore water brought up automatically by windmills. Many arn't even likely to ever see humans till they've hearded up by choppers, motor bikes & dogs at slaughter time.
Sheep can graze quite sustainably on arid land Salt Bush as long as one doesn't overstock. They to can also drink rank bore water brought up automatically by windmills.
Here's some linkage on a Journo who actually bought a steer & ran it through the feedlot system, the reality of that steer's life's absolutelly revolting & totally unviable economically. They do literally have to pump the steer full of anti-biotics (passed prohibition levels for the EU) so it can cope with living knee high in shit.

Virtually every govt dept of every country in the world has 'buy local' regulations in regards industries that exist in that country.
Meaning in just about every country with a car industry, govt depts have to buy local cars, or at least give them preferance.
Finally at last a country feels confident enough to treat the software industry in a similar fashion & the dominent country in regards software yells 'unfair'.........diddems, I say.
You do know that China's policy in regards software is no different to Japan's policy that created their electronics industry & South Korea's policies that created their car industry.
BTW US policies in regards agriculture arn't that different. Fact is without the subsidies 'n tarifs, America's chemical & hormone feedlot beef wouldn't be supermarket price viable (cows can't normally live knee high in shit unless pumped full of a million chemicals) & Americans would be eating nice healthy free-range local, Oz & Latin American beef instead.
Gez I can't stand these fuckwits who go arround speaking with authority about subjects they know nothing about.
You remind me of those nongs on web forums like military.com's that at least once a week type up a post in a authoritive manner, going on about how Powell was right because Iraq supported the Palestinian terrorist group Hezbollah.
When actually it's Iran & they've obviously gotten Iran 'n Iraq mixed up, & Hezbollah's Lebanese Shia not Palestinian.
Look please people, if you want to speak with authority on the web, at least either talk about subjects one's knowledgeable about, or at least read up on the subject, & Murdoch tabloids don't count in that regard
Fact is no Geek with XP would be without it, it makes things piss easy.
2nd, once one notices the 60 second reboots (after windows has fully loaded), after a fresh reboot, one will quickly ctrl-alt-del & end any out of the ordinary processes
3rd (either now or after a reboot), one will open up Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel & notice a new startup process called MSblast.exe, taged as a Windows update utility. One will disable it (untick it), meaning it won't run on startup. (it actually appears twice, obviously to get people who don't notice, meaning one has to disable one entry & delete the other entry, which is just a 'right click, click delete, then click ok' routine). One then reboots.
4/ One now runs the find file routine & it turns up exactly where you think it probably is (Startup CPL shows the address of most processes, but for some reason not all of them) windows/system 32. Now as it's tagged as 'Windows update tool' (or something like that, I can't remember the 3rd word), one might worry if deleting it might hurt the system. Afterall 'Windows update' in a intigral part of XP. However like all geeks, one's using XP Corporate which has that disabled, so why is was it running in the background, seeemingly causing problems till it was disabled? So one right-clicks 'My Computer', clicks 'properties' & notices that 'windows update' is still all greyed out, as per normal, meaning the computer's not using 'Windows Update', meaning MSblast.exe is not what it appears.
5/ Time for deletion. One drags msblast.exe to a floppy in case it is needed & things fuckup without it, then I delete & empty the recycle business.
6/ Wonder how it got into the Windows/system 32 directory in the 1st place.
Remember 'finding as theft' doesn't apply if one intends to hand lost property over to authorities. Unless you are saying everyone who finds something & hands it in to the cops automatically becomes a criminal.
Its not illegal to hand in lost property to the police, the fact that one lost some ID that was with the lost property & handed the LP to a Police station on the other side of town doesn't change that fact.
Also as long as one's intent was to hand it in to a police station, there's nothing illegal about losing it on the way. Afterall since when has losing stuff been a crime?
& the fact remains, that after the prerequiset 2 months, any handed-in lost property becomes legally owned by the finder.
Gez I'm baffled, a slashdotter claiming that handing in lost property to the cops (or attempting to do so) is a crime, what do I behold will be next?
If I find property that someone else owns & then promply loses it, there's absolutely nothing the original owner can do, because he's not out of pockert. Remember he lost the property in the 1st place.
Scenario:-
MS Dickhead leaves briefcase on train that contains the source code for Windows XPSE2+++, some junkie rifles through briefcase looking for some scoring money, he throws the briefcase out of the window & it lands on the scrub by the side of the track. Now it's 3AM & the pub's closing & I'm pissed as nute, I take a shortcut across the railway track to get to the nightclub on the other side, & I find this briefcase. They won't let me into the nightclub because I'm pissed as a mute so I go home. The next day I rifle through the briefcase & realise what I find. I ring up MS dickhead who's number's on the side & ask for a reward. He says 'can't do that, I'll get into trouble', I say 'well bugger you I'm going to hand it to the cops'.
Now if I happen to leave the briefcase on a bus while on the way to the copshop, have I committed a crime? What if I stop off at the pub for a beer & leave it there? Of course not.
Mind you the smart thing to do would be to remove any ID from the briefcase & hand it in at some police station in some suburb on the otherside of town, or catch a train right into town & leave it at a big inner city police station. Then when filling out the form I'll say I found it by the railway track but can't think where as I was pissed as a mute.
Odds on the briefcase would be filed away for the prerequesit 2 months, meaning I can go down & legally claim the briefcase & its contents as my own. BTW I rang him from a pay phone too, so there's no record of me contacting the MS dickhead either.
But generally don't the creditors sign over their rights to any potential future claims in exchange for recievers paying them off so many cents in a dollar from the liquidated assets.
Mind you there's always creditors at the end of the list, useally the smaller ones, who don't get anything because nothing's left by then (meaning they never signed away their rights to claim any potential undiscovered assets). These are the small creditors like local tradesmen & stationary suppliers etc that did small jobs on account (like fixing a blocked toilet at the back of the office building).
Ive been sued twice & both times they gave in when they realised I had no income that could be garnished & what they thought were my assets (bar a old unregisted rusty Leyland V8 car cum toolshed/junk accumalator) were all in the name of relatives.
Actually I do have a block of land in northern Tasmania (paid using cash), but there were some mistakes in the paper work, meaning 2 spelling mistakes in my name & my birthdate being 10 years out. Mind you if one bought a block of land today, I someone doubt it would be as easy to get away with have such irregularities in one's paperwork, even in Tasmania.
