I like the design on the laptop, but OS X is just too slow for me and it don't have a snap feel to it. I hate that when you maximize a windows it don't cover the entire screen. Also hate the Apple-Tab.
It just seams that I get things done faster in a Windows 2000 box.
For example to open Safari on my ibook takes about 5 seconds. Word is about 10.
Mabye the TiBooks are faster. Don't know, can anyone comment about the diffrence between a G3 and G4?
Like the other guy said, what is your point? Not eveyone is a coder, and the coders I do know don't know how to sell shit.
You should congrat the guy for taking initative. Most sales guys talk the shit and have no idea what anything is. Thats why companys like MS and Cisco have special traning for the sales people.
I moved away from my parents that live in Germany to Tampa. What I made sure was working before I left was my linux box. When my mom want to send me a photo or something I just tell her, "leave it on the desktop", or when I want to send my mom a quicktime movie I upload it to my linux box then copy it over, so she never knows how it got there.
It's funny becouse I talk to my brother sometimes and tell him that he is low in HD space, 3000 miles away.
Sadly my mom said that they might have to move soon to a diffrent town. I hope my server comes back up!
When I was doing my taxes I was asked (by quicken) if I had a electric or hybrid car. Does anyone know of the tax break you get when you have one of these cars?
I did a consulting gig for a small company that does landscaping. I noticed the boss was running OWA, and I asked him why don't he use outlook. His reply was, "This is outlook, see it says 'outlook'"
They had the exchange services provided by the ISP, guess that is a good thing becouse they didn't have a local admin to reboot exchange server all the time.
If this was impimented worldwide that would be great. When I go to Poland and Ukraine I like to eat at McDonalds for lunch becouse the are clean. And I know what i'm getting.
If I could walk into an Indian McDonands with my PDA and get food and check my email that would be the best thing for a traveler.
There is a good article about Sony in last weeks ECONOMIST. They mention that Sony is looking into dropping MS Windows and going for Linux (I'm sure that won't happen today, but there must be some R&D money put into that)
They also went on saying that the PlayStation div of Sony stays far away from the rest of Sony.
Another intresting point in the article was that sony produncts must incororate DRM becouse they own alot of music rights, unlike Apple, who does not have to worry about anyone stealing it's music.
Think about this, if the searches for pink bunnies goes up in the month of febuary your onto something. I'm sure the search list from ebay costs a lot of money.
When I worked for the Army I had a sign in my office" "80% of porn goes thu the system of one company. Cisco Systems"
The chaplin came in once and look at that for a while...
On a side note I went to a ISP that servers up all sorts of sites. The net admin told me what they push around 3,4 GB. Once the porn servers died and the traffic that day was around 1GB.
Slashdot Mirror
Army and Air Force domain controllers all run NT
Wow!
DoD systems are not allowed to run Windows 2000 on the servers. (Well you can, but you can't use AD, just as a stand-alone)
I think that MS just wants one of it's biggist customers to upgrade!
So let me get this streight. I pay you $10 for a $40 game.
And I can download all the other games too!
Even if you just want one game it pays off.
Something is missing here. How would a company make money like this.
Plenty of kids in Eastern European contries like Poland are killed every year when they find old granades and bomb from WWII in the woods.
Yes, there are plenty there.
But it doen't cover drops. I droped my ibook and dented it. Called them up to see if it covers it and it dosen't
AppleCare does not cover abuse. I droped my ibook and called them up to see if applecare would cover it. nope.
AppleCare only covers manufacture defects.
640 RAM.
Well, I like some things about my mac, but some things make me mad.
Yahoo messanger locks up on me often.
I hate how the Apple-Tab cycles thru apps in the doc order and not the order of open.
I also don't like that finder locks up the entire laptop. Yes I tried the Alt-Apple-ESC. Nothing.
Don't like how you can mount a SMB share and then try disconecting it when the server is no longer avalible. My ibook just locks up.
Copy and paste doen't work all the time with all programs.
I also get the stupid rainbow cursor all the time. It halt my entire laptop for a few second and sometimes it crashed the app.
I tried reinstalling 3 times and the same happens.
My friend had a ibook also and he gets the apple BSOD after about 5 minutes from the time he goes on battery.
That might explain why my laptop is so slow.

I posted to the other guy,
how much do you offer? I have the highend ibook with 640 RAM, 30 GB, airport and 5GB ipod. Might aswell sell the ipod becouse it won't work with a IBM
How much do you offer?
I have the highest ibook with 640 RAM, airport, 30 GB and 5gb ipod (Won't work with the IBM, so might as well sell it.)
The real question is will they charge for the upgrade.
Seriusly I bought my ibook and i'm thinking that my next laptop will be a IBM with XP.

Think, do you want to code and sell?

Hey all,
When I was doing my taxes I was asked (by quicken) if I had a electric or hybrid car. Does anyone know of the tax break you get when you have one of these cars?
If so, whats a good car that qualifies???
I did a consulting gig for a small company that does landscaping. I noticed the boss was running OWA, and I asked him why don't he use outlook. His reply was, "This is outlook, see it says 'outlook'"
They had the exchange services provided by the ISP, guess that is a good thing becouse they didn't have a local admin to reboot exchange server all the time.
Why do people buy new cars, or even lease them???
A good 3-4 year old car works fine.
Will this be an extention to SIPERNET or a new network?
Hope they use IPv6, that way you also get the ecomomy rolling. New OS, new Routers...
(I Know modern OS and Cisco 12.2 IOS run IPv6, but most gov router still run IOS 9.x and the DoD will not allow Win2000 Active Directory on Servers.)
If this was impimented worldwide that would be great. When I go to Poland and Ukraine I like to eat at McDonalds for lunch becouse the are clean. And I know what i'm getting.
If I could walk into an Indian McDonands with my PDA and get food and check my email that would be the best thing for a traveler.

Here is how to test if your at a 2D or 3D:
1. Pick out two objects, one close and one far.
2. Move your head side to side, if the stay the name, your at a 2D, if they move, your at a 3D.
Ever watched someone play 3D games and move there head around to see what's behind the corner?
Think about this, if the searches for pink bunnies goes up in the month of febuary your onto something. I'm sure the search list from ebay costs a lot of money.

You figure it out.
I know. /. could start something up and sort the guys and gals by karma!
