I just tested this with my colegue last night, me being connected through a 56K modem. All went well, updates were fast. We didn't really need to get anything done, so we replaced ICQ with this - and the 1-hour conversation went just fine.
I must say I was very impressed. Clean, lean and simply working - just as the Mac programs once used to be. It won't replace BBEdit, but it does have it's use.
Well, the PC card wouldn't help you much. The biggest trade-off of the small size: there is NO PC-Card slot in the 12" PowerBook. This is the only thing that bugs me seriously about this marvelous computer.
Maybe I am missing something, but I don't see a point in doing this. As the hint is described, it is apparent the image is mounted permanently, even after the users log out. It is mounted by root.
I don't see how this can make things more secure - since anybody with proper permissions can access the contents of the mounted image via the mount point just as well as when the data was in/Users.
It would make some sense if the image would be mounted only at login (and unmounted at logout), but this is not possible with this hint either. Out of top of my head, I can't think of a way to do this.
You are right, sorry about possibly being harsh. English is only my second language, so it might happen I do not pick up the exact weight of certain words. Your post was probably right, but what you could tell at that time was wrong.:) Is this something we can agree upon?

The point was integration with BBEdit, though, and Transit and fugu don't do that, as best I can tell.
Wrong. Transit does have BBEdit integration. It's not one application (as the poster requests) but you can select a file in Transit, pres Edit in BBEdit (or any other arbitrary app for that matter). It will open in BBEdit and once you save it, it is FTPed back to the server.
Ah you say, why not just make a small HFS+ partition and let the rest be UFS. Well apple does not yet support partitioning a disk with different File systems. Thus you cant split the disk into UFS and HFS+ partitions.
Well I don't know of which support exactly you are speaking of, but I've been running 2 HFS+ partitions and 1 UFS partition on my iMac (with a single 40GB disk) since 10.0.3 (client) and continue to do so until now (10.2.2).
And in case you forgot to setup the FS types correctly when partitioning, here's the hint how to do it afterwards. You cannot normaly just select "Erase disk" and put a different FS type on it. It will offer only the same type as the partition already has. BUT if you reboot with an OS X install CD and launch Disk Utility, you will be able to change the format of the partition without touching the rest of the disk.
I'm sitting in my office @ home and I could be dealing with a client on Pluto, doesn't change much for me
Actually, dealing with a client on Pluto would change quite a lot. With distance 5.7 bilion kilometers from Earth, you'd be surprised to learn that the round trip time is even slower then on your AOL account. A 10 hours ping time makes that (videochat | remote administration) really sweet.
What most people do not know is Novosibirsk is the 3rd largest russian city (after Moscow and Petersburg).
In the communist era, the leaders decided (god knows why, it's lost in middle of deserted Siberia) to make Novosibirsk the center of russian science. A huge new village - completely scientists only (several tens of thousands of them) - was created on the boundary of the town and called Akademgorodok - Academic Village.
It has lots of university buildings and lots of trees. It's a nice place (as much as it can be in todays strugling Russia).
That's NOT the OS software they're using; they're using Linux. Globus is NOT an OS. It's an add-on, and one that's been around for years and years now.
You mean the Globe is not an OS? Think about it for a while - you can set your own enviroment in which you operate and it is a complex system.
...and now they will tell me the Globe is only an add-on... What's next? It's not a bug, it's a feature??!!
I have am iMac (with Pro keyboard) and a Win98 PC. Occasionally I swap the keyboards (if I have some obscure need for it).
It does work on Windows 98. Only the standard keys, though. The advanced keys (Fkeys, PgUp, PgDown etc.) would probably have to be mapped via some sort of universal customizable driver.
OK - here in Czech Republic - we have GPRS available for a year now. The missing phone support is the key problem, but it's moving. Motorola and Ericsson are the best GPRS phones right now. R520 rocks - GPRS, Bluetooth, HSCSD (conventional, but 43kbps downloads). Speaking of HSCSD - that's available really widely, even with foreign roaming etc.
So, we have 2 high-speed mobile access technologies working in paralel (on the same provider, on the same phone - choose any you like).
The pricing is also much better - $12/MB - but consider that we have about 10times lower salaries then in US......still, speaking of mobile technology, I am happy to be in Central Europe not US. Which, I sadly cannot say about computers...
Actually, if 1TB is the possible ceiling for a personal HD in several years - I think we are not talking as much about how to FILL 1TB of data rather then how to MOVE IT arount.
Because while the HD capacity doubles every time and then, take a look how much the drive throughput developed in the last decade - while we have Ultra160 SCSI or UltraATA 100, the drives don't deliver more then some crawling 20MB/sec, anyway. And they have been at these speeds (orders of magnitude) for a long time.
So - 1 TB of data is rather problematical to use, without heavy indexing - and even then. Because the biggest bottleneck right now is not the processor, not the HD capacity - but the system throughput (IO,motherboard,RAM etc.)
Claiming porting projects are under way for HP UX is OK, but with MacOS X, this is inaccurate.
MacOS X has been a target from the very beginning, as have been all other BSDs (NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Darwin). On top of it, Apple one of the sponsors of this project and has some of it's engineers working on it. The official policy is "anybody is welcome to do a port to any other platform".
Oh - and openpackages contain source, not binary. The project aims to produce standardized "make(1) and pkg_*(1) tools". It occured to me some previous posters understood it the other way...
I continue to be amazed of the difference between the US an Europe cellular market:
I live in Czech Republic, which, as a post-communist country, is not exactly the most developed in Europe. Still - we have 70% population mobile phone penetration, WAP support everywhere, GPRS (2.5G) available for a year now.
Speaking of SMS - I am able to send and recieve SMS throughout whole Europe, I am also able to send SMS-to-email (for cca. 2 cents) and email-to-SMS (for free) - again, throughout whole Europe.
That was the catch of some Indiana Jones movie/game, IIRC. The Homer claims about Atlantis were unclear - and after all, it was placed south of Greece, not in middle of Atlantic. So - could this be it?!
I wonder when they find that advanced technology.:)
The point of open source is to increase the value of software to SOCIETY AS A WHOLE, not to the select few individuals that happen to be in the right place at the right time when IBM decides to throw money around looking for a cheap OS for a rushed personal computer project.
You know - comming from a post-communist country, I can value the irony in this - 10 years after the fall of communism, US is discovering the upsides of the power-to-the-people philosophy.
This is not to say it's good or bad, doomed or having a bright future - we can't judge that now. Just please realize that THIS IS the IT communism.
Would you call it "brain transplant" or "body transplant"?
Actually - body transplant. And IIRC, it's been done already. For some terminally ill patients which struggle some advanced degenerative disease (Parkinson or something else) sometimes the body starts to colapse. The only way for the patient to remain living is to transplant the living head to another body. Of course - they won't be able to neurologicaly sense anything from the body nor control it - but they weren't able to do that before either.
I'd guess that Solaris's closer kinship to the BSDs might even make it easier.
Now - maybe I am wrong - but Solaris is System V type UNIX, whereas all BSDs are stemming from BSD UNIX. Linux and Minix are much closer to System V and thus Solaris then BSD is.
Imagine walking into your average Best Buy and EVERY applince there is free.
Ain't gonna happen. Why? Well - there is no need of selling this then. The distributed computing companies can walk into your average Best Buy store as you say and get the hardware for free themself.
The main principe of the current "for free" programs (Internet for free, mobile handset for free, info-servers for free) is that you pay the money in some way eventually. On connected services, by watching comercials and so on.
With free computers paid by computing cycles, the distributed companies actually do not need you at all.:)
This sounds like very interesting technology. It also sounds as an inevitable one -- that is if you want to stay up there for a bit longer.
Just one thing is on my mind: "How the hell did the Russians do it?" I am not aware of them having a space laser broom for the last 20 years. Yet Mir has been up there for a long long time and it isn't much smaller then ISS today.
You don't want to tell me it's because the Russians are more lucky, do you?
I agree that OSes should shift to make our computers more like tools, but I don't think Linux and MacOS are particularly wrong for it.
Actually I think it is, completelly. Ubiquitous computing needs a paradigm shift. No filesystems, no procesors, no configuration files. Forget it. It just works. Somehow. It is simply stored. Somewhere. It runs. Who cares whether it's stored at your drive or on a fileserver in Japan. You only expect the data to be available to you (and fast) regardless of you being in New York or in Delhi. The same aplies to CPU power (which can be quite revolutionalized by things like ProcessTree), configurations (wisely estimated from your previous options in other programs you used elsewhere) and many other things. And I am quite sure when ubiquitous computing will start being take seriously this will not even scratch the surface of desirable behavior.
To the points that others have raised -- about computers being orders of magnitude more complicated then hammers and toasters -- well, no doubt they are. Many things in life are. But they can be made so easy you do not know about it. Music CD player is a really advanced peace of laser-optics physics, quite a lot of electronics (audio filters etc.) -- and you do not know a bit of it when you use it. The point with the car was actually quite good -- yes, you do have to learn a lot before you drive a car. But you are actually required to, because by driving a car in a wrong way, you are probably going to cause much more damage (including damage on lives) then with a mere rm -R/ on your system. With that, you are only going to hurt yourself. If cars would be the same, not many people would take care to learn driving actually. You just sit, turn the wheel and press some pedals -- and hopefully it will move.
