I will try that. I own CrossOver Mac, but have been having spotty luck getting things to run. SecureCRT works great. SecureFX works, but throws an error when I exit. Visual SlickEdit blows chunks.
I hadn't considered running a heavy graphics game under it.
Some friends of mine just got hooked on DEFCON, and I downloaded and installed it into the Boot Camp partition on my second generation MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo). If I boot into Windows XP can play about three missions into the training set, or just barely connect to a multi-player game, before audio starts looping and my laptop reboots.
Theo forked a BSD licensed project to create OpenBSD. If he wanted money, then he should have forked into a proprietary license. He forked and kept the BSD license. Since this was a choice, I assume it was made with some forethought. After all, just try to suggest that Theo has made a mistake and he will argue you to death that he knew what he was doing...
So, he OpenBSD and OpenSSH are BSD licensed by choice. That means that NOBODY needs to give them money if they use the source code. The BSD license spells this out, in less than a page of text, so it is hard to say this was buried in the small type...
Theo IS OpenBSD/SSH, and THAT is the real problem. Theo pisses people off, and alienates corporations that would donate to a OpenBSD/SSH project. He needs to incorporate OpenBSD/SSH and give himself a little abstractionb from the process if he wants someone else to help with the bills. Until then there is no 'corporate veil' between Theo and OpenBSD/SSH, and that in itself is hurting the 'movement'.
Forget greenhouse gasses and the burning of fossil fuels...
There is a statistical correlation between global warming and the increased heat produced by hotter processors. You think it is a coincidence that the first big El Nino driven storms started happening after the release of the Pentium? Think again...
"So what? If I hire someone, and that someone behaves unethically, and I continue to keep that someone in my employ and don't remedy the unethical actions they took acting on my behalf, I'm responsible for those actions."
With this, I agree. If their consultant suggested it, and they were informed it was against Google policy, then it was their responsibility to disable the changes.
"But, you might say, what if I am not aware that these people are acting unethically? I respond again: so what? If I am employing someone to do something for me, I am responsible for monitoring what they're doing to make sure they aren't out of line, OR I must accept the consequences of not monitoring them."
I hire an accountant because I don't have the skill to do my own books. I hire a lawyer because I don't have the legal background or the resources to research case law and precedent. If BMW hired a SEO firm it is likely because they didn't have anyone with that skill-set on staff. How do you monitor someone who is performing a task for which you don't have the skills to do yourself?
"If they hired an SEO 'professional' to improve their ranking, then regardless of what he told them of industry practices, I'd say that they are just as guilty as if they did it themselves."
I disagree. If you hire an accountant and they give you bad advice, they can generally be held laible. If you hire a lawyer, and they instruct you to something illegal, they can be disbarred. If you go to a doctor and they perscribe you the wrong medication and it makes you worse, you can sue for malpractice.
If you hire a professional consultant you should have a reasonable expectation that their advice is sound. If you can't make that basic assumption then you might as well out-law all unlicensed consulting professions.
The difference is whether or not one of their staff did this, or whether they hired a 'professional' firm who assured them that these were accepted practices. Yes, the end result is the same, but with the latter you can give them the benefit of hte doubt that they were misled by their consultants.
Even after I knew the Intel Macs were coming, I chose to invest in a Dual-Processor Dual-Core G5. Why throw money at the platform that is guaranteed to be phased out?
I worked through the transition from 680x0 to PowerPC. I worked through the transition of OS 9 to OS X. These transitions are NEVER easy. I chose to get the most power I could out of the platform that currently works best. I'll wait to get an Intel Mac until they are well into year two of general use, and only after my must-have applications have had at least one set of bug fixes released to their Universal Binary versions.:)
I recently purchased an item from Fry's that had a rebate. Fry's prints you a custom rebate receipt that is part receipt, part rebate form. I fill it out and send it in. IU get a letter a few weeks later that says that although I provided my UPC code I failed to provide my receipt so they are rejecting my rebate. The receipt and the form were combined; if they got my address to write me back they got the damn receipt, and they proved it by writing me.
Over a year ago I registered TampaBayAds.com when I got pissed off with the local indipendant classifide paper, and I wanted to set up a free site to help tear them down. I never got around to it, and the domain sat fallow. Now, I have an idea of what to do with it. I don't aspire to a million dollar website, given that this is Tampa... Still, this guy had a slick idea and I don't feel bad in the least for copying it!:)
With a regular television show the commercials are inserted by the local affiliate as the show is being broadcast. In this way the commercials can be localized for the viewing audience. So, if you watch a five year old television show the commercials are current and not frozen in time from five years back. Now the 'commercials' are a fixed part of the content, and it will not be possible to extract them later.
But, this begs me to wonder... Advertisers pay for each time a commercial is run. With this new model will they find themselves having to pay a small fee every time a show is aired as a re-run?
Given that the vast majority of cervical cancer turned out to be a result of HPV infection, it easily falls into the realm of possibility that other cancers have their roots in viral infections, such as colds, as well.
"Neil Diamond's new CD opened in the top ten, then sank down into the mid 50's the following week when the news about Sony DRM hit. Same goes for new CD's by their other major stars."
You don't think this had anything to do with Sony pulling these CDs off the shelves when the shitstorm hitr the media? I'm pretty sure having the albums unavailable in stores had a lot to do with the sales numbers dropping.
I'm guessing the moderator didn't read the original post? You know, the one where the guy asked for geeky gadget ideas for halloween. Or is the monkey who modded my post as 'offtopic' saying that EL Wire isn't a geeky gadget? Too mainstream for him?

Odd. I just upgraded my registered copy of CrossOver Mac to 6.0RC1 and when I tried to run the DEFCON installer CrossOver Mac 'quit unexpectedly'.
:)
DEFCON is nuking me at every turn.

A port to OS X would be awesome. But then, so would knowing why it caused my MacBook Pro to reboot would be nice too. :)

I am running the regular version, not Steam, upgraded to 1.2.

Looks like a cool game. Wish I could play it.

Yup, almost as bad as "City taxes pay for the mayor to have his glamor shots taken in an office where other people are working..."

The beauty of Universal Binaries is that Apple can support both PowerPC and Intel. There doesn't have to be an either/or.

The form and the receipt were the SAME piece of paper. That is how the Fry's special rebate receipts are printed.
