The reality is that bandwidth costs money, and those who use significantly more will have to pay for it . . . There is nothing abnormal about this pricing model, it is there with any commodity. And don't use the poor example of cable TV, if you watch cable TV 24/7 you don't consume any more of a limited resource . . . to all you bandwidth hogs, PAY UP!
1st off, we've already broken the poor patent query link:(
2nd, they can have my download when they can pry from my cold dead hand wrapped around my 80G drive:0
It says that you that you can't create software with it using tools that would obligate MS to release it's source code nor can you distribute the Toolkit with "Public Available Software" - this doesn't prevent you from using vi or gcc or any of the other crap that was contended in write.
I don't like MS, but I like inaccuracy even less.
That's the real question . . . as Jobs puts it, their the only company that makes the whole widget. They integrate everything and control the hardware. They also really like to sell boxes . . . In short, love or hate macs, apple has NO good reason to port it to other hardware (increased support problems too)
Throughout history there have been "default" languages for trade and diplomacy. At one time it was latin, later it was french (at least in Europe). Today, english is the default value. I have travelled throughout Europe and in portions of SE Asia, english is widespread among merchants and government agencies.
The purponderance of web content currently available is in english, and the largest web businesses are english based. Granted there are alot of reasons for this (high american consumption rates, etc) but there is momemtum. In order for it to be replaced, it will require a significant impedius. Espiritu never really caught on and their is no current indication the english will be surplanted in the near future.
You have actually struck one of the really useful possibilities of web music dissemination. If an effective way of tracking and controlling digital music could be developed then they sell you the 3 popular songs for say $7 or the whole album for $15. Let's not forget, if you want people to professional music, we have to allow them to make a living doing it. I'm not saying that every music group out there (Ricky Martin) deserves the amount of money they're currently getting, but a living is still a living

Perhaps the biggest issue when hacking code for client side execution is to keep it as simple and as legal as possible. It may be less efficient, but it is more likely to perform across all platform in a much more consistent manner.
I tried the MKLinux on a 1400 trick and was sadly disappointed. First you're right, lack of connectivity makes it useless, secondly it wasn't stable on my powerbook, that might have been the newer G3 upgrade card, it might have been the ethernet card (built in), who knows . . . If anybody wants to try MKLinux, I recommend MkLinux: Microkernel Linux for the Power Macintosh by Prime Time Freeware I gave up on MKLinux and switched to LinuxPPC because I didn't have enough time to make it work . . .
probably not gonna happen. The problem lies in the lack of OF (open firmware) support in the nubus (and even a couple of pci) macs. Without OF it get really hard, really quickly. MKLinux is probably your only hope. Besides 10 NuBus in a beowulf probably won't be faster that a (cheap) G3 running standalone . . . fwiw

oh oh, me next, I never have a switch with me when I need it . . .

to go one further Macs (I know never standard, but hey what ya gonna do) never had ISA. They were PDS,nubus and PCI . . .

But according to blizzards web sight, they doing parallel development and have the same estimate for release . . . we can but hope and drool.
