If you've even seen a Volkswagen Bug burn, you'd know why. The old ones had magnesium transmission cases and aluminum blocks. The interior would catch on fire, get hot enough to ignite the magnesium, which would make it hot enough to ignite the block.
Puhleese! Karma and Slashdot encourage users/posters to bitch about Microsoft. Slashdot has helped create the environment, so to deny its existence is either naivete, bullshit, or both.
Look into the TheaterMaster remotes. I have the MX500 and it's a superb remote, and has numerous macro/learning features. I personally like it because it has learnable lcd/soft buttons as well has hard ones.
Simply install Apple's X and the X Developer Tools (I think that's what they're called) from Apple and when you compile a Fink app, it will ask what kind of X you have installed. Option 1 is something to the effect of "Manual X11 Install, Placeholder".
Have fun! Fink also has some instructions on their site.
It hasn't been a software issue for months, but rather a hardware issue. It's quite easy to build a GUI via software, but quite another to build a nice, clean hardware interface. For example, I can go out, buy a component-sized/look atx case for $100-200, buy a motherboard, cpu, memory, nic, etc, then spend countless hours setting up the OSS tools used to make a PVR- but then I have spent ~$500 and I could have bought a Tivo for $150.
There's still items like the Audiotron and Compaq Music Centers for audio, and of course you can use a pc for these, but the fact remains that the effort required to build such a device is outmatched by the lower cost of one or more components. Why would I spend even as little as $200 plus 5-10 hours work when I can spend $250 with no-hours work?
Many of the solutions out there are still not very hardy and quite fragile. To reduce time in building these, there really should be a PVR/HTPC Distro.
Because they changed the criteria after a local exploit via ssh. It used to read something like 'No exploit in the default install...'. Because the new statement applies to remote exploits, the time changed.
I work for a company that looked into it recently. We bought an XServe, read the docs, and when I tried to assemble it in a test environment (Fresh AD infrastructure, own address space, etc) I ran into problem after problem. Finally when all the people at the Apple Support Forums (http://discussions.info.apple.com/) we got an error. So I called apple support. Would they help? They said no. Would Apple Pro support help? They said no. They said "We can get you in touch with Apple Consulting Services to help you get it working."
WTF? I have to buy consulting? They won't even *help* you through it over the phone, they direct you to the discussion forums. Basically my point is that Apple won't even support vanilla test-only installs, let alone ones in production.
The way it basically works is that Apple's own LDAP flavor (OpenDirectory) only works with Apple clients. *But* you can make some additions to the Win2k/AD Schema (not that scary) and make it so Apple's OpenDirectory can read attributes (users and shares) from AD, letting AD users login locally to a mac. Great stuff, yet to see it work.
The documentation sends you all over the whitepaper, looking for info on how to do this and that, and leaves out crucial steps (enabling LDAPv2 in AD, for example, as well as enabling LDAPv2 write access).
I'm no apple basher, but at the very least they should stop saying it's easy.
Beyond the argument of XServer speed, there will soon be the requirement for SCSI drives for the XServe. IDE just doesn't cut it under decent loads. If I were to build an Oracle 9i server today on an OSX Server, I'd add a RAID card and an external storage array. I personally would love to see Apple offer this equipment, but surely sales #'s will have to go up for the XServe.
My question is, I wonder who Apple/Oracle think the target market is for the combo?
I gave my wife a pretty cool engagement ring from an antique jewelry outfit. Sure, it's 2nd hand, but it has the personality and it doesn't get crazy as far as prices go either.
Good point, but under California law this kind of speed enforcement is labeled a 'Speed Trap' and is expressley outlawed in Cali. The basic definition AFIAK is a speed trap uses two measuring devices at each end of a 'corridor', where your progress is timed and used to give you a ticket. In some states they used choppers and cessnas to stopwatch your progress between visible/plotted markers and a ground unit is dispatched to issue the ticket.
CA outtlaws this practice and requires for speeding tickets that the same office who clocked you is the same office you tickets you (with some slight variances). Worry less about the CHP and worry more about CalTrans' ability to fsck the data up and not build freeways in a timely manner.
Unless you want to go to the trouble of making an OS that is 100% read-only, you'll need to have something writeable on that web server. It'd be cheaper to serve your website off CD-ROM (for the sake of this argument) but who's to keep a script kiddie from mounting your website on a ramdisk or another writable area?
Besides, you can always make hot-swap hard drive read-only with a jumper block.
1.) My 933Mhz G4 is a bit louder than a generic maytag-like pc, and seems to be on-par, if not a little cooler than the pc counterparts(YMMV).
2.)Spend money on Megahertz, and go for a G4. Macs don't lend themselves to cpu upgrades *as much* as some intel cpu's, so go with a clockspped you'll be happy with. As for memory, see #3.
3.)Look for the CPU and CD/DVD drive when shopping for a desktop. IDE drives are a breeze to add on to a new G4 desktop after the fact, and Apple's memory isn't very competitively prices. (Crucial memory works well for me). Apple's super-mega-loaded machines are nice, but go for what you need. The superdrives are awesome.
4.)Go for the Titanium GeForce card, as it has a ADC *and* DVI connector for nice dual flatpanel support. If you're doing VGA monitors, think about the GeForce4MX that has an ADC and VGA. It depends on what you are going to be doing, as 2 displays do require more resources on your card to operate well. As for Jaguar, I dunno. For Quartz extreme, any GeForce for the mac should be fine.
5.)I hear good things about duals, but my single 933mhz works great for Photoshop & Final Cut Pro.
6.)Unless it's a server/multiuser machine, IDE is a better all-around solution for you. Firewire external drives work great in OSX, and IDE's a re cheap:)

The issue of legality came down to the fact that the company running the system of red light cameras was also controlling the timing of the lights. In fact, the courts found that the contractor was actually shortening the yellow times on lights, as they got something like 70 percent of the fines for each red light violator/victim. This at least was the case in San Diego, CA.

A bit of "Unix isn't dead! Really! Wait! Listen! See? It's not dead!"
Of course Unix isn't dead. OSX is a perfect example. It would seem that most of Apple's user base is well on its way to migrating over to OSX, as I see more and more posts on various sites where people are deleting their OS9 install.
From an ameteur film editing perspective, it is a wildly creative idea to have someone share their raw footage.
It seems very akin to sharing source, with the exception that it's far easier for the end user/viewer to ascertain where the original source footage came from.
You might be a troll, but I just can't resist the last comment about people's use of Fonts in Outlook. I personally would love to whack the kneecaps of everyone who uses weird-ass colors in Outlook and lame fonts.
Apparently you never read my post. My post was intended to provide info on MCS. I haven't used CCTP and therefore haven't bothered posting anything.
In case you haven't noticed, the 'Asl Slashdot' sections are for answering the original submitter's question, but they also provide a wealth of information to other readers. My post was intended to be informative, but then again YMMV.
Beowulf Clustering and Microsoft's clustering address two different issues.
Besides, Microsoft Clustering Services are included with Windows 2000 Advanced Server and the Enterprise Editions of SQL and Exchange support clustering without additional fees. Numerous Microsoft customers already have the licenses then to run MCS, they just need the semi-expensive hardware.
In a way you're right, there is no such thing as a free lunch- but Clustering abilities with Windows 2000 are included in the cost of the lunch.
MCS (Microsoft Cluster Services) are designed for load balancing and fault tolerance, as where Beowulf Clusters (AFAIK) are more for distrubuted processing load for performance increases (massive threading). MCS works quite well, especially well on Fibre Channel and Brand Name Hardware such as Dells and Compaqs.
Simply put, it works well (but the cost is often an issue due to the cost of hardware in an enterprise) but it is not the same clustering you see with the Unices. E-mail me at my account if you have more specific questions.
My intent is not to start or participate in a flame war, but the term clustering simply implies different things on different OS'.

...Slashdot never links to Macslash. It's because that's where /. editors et their Apple stories on the slow days.
