Gamers are a much, much larger market than geeks and Apple has never made the Mac a game-friendly or game developer-friendly platform. They don't give a crap about geeks or gamers.
Man, I am getting tired of the anti-Pippen bias around here!
From what I understand, what an ISP blocks can vary widely from location to location, but soon after Time Warner took over for Comcast in the Cleveland Area, I was able to send out over Port 25 because I was playing around with sendmail. I can't tell you if that's still so as I haven't screwed around with my own mail server since, though they still don't block port 80.
The versions of Windows 2000 server that I've played with do something very similar to the GP's post. On first boot you get a screen that more or less ays "How do you want to set up your server?" and you pick a number of options for things such as Web Server, DNS, Domain Controller, etc.
For what it's worth, Dell usually includes a hardware test partition on the consumer/business systems they sell. A few months ago I bought one of the Dells with Ubuntu pre-installed and, in addition to a Ubuntu recovery partition, they had the hardware test partition. If a piece of hardware goes screwy, you can just give the tech support rep whatever error message/code you get when you run the test and it's pretty hard for them to argue when you're using their diagnostic tool.
Both the XBox and the 360 have a unified memory architecture. That means everything draws from the same pool of RAM. The PS3 has its 512MB split in half between system and video memory.
What percentage of women do you suppose perform in pornographic media? Give me your best guess? Is it less than 1%? More than 1%? 10%? 20%?
Just to throw in a curve ball, would that include women that take pictures or make movies for/with their partners*? I've dated a couple of women where the camera would come out in the bedroomg (and hell, sometimes it was their idea), but they would never think of doing porn for a living.
*Partners, in this case, being boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/fiances.
Xenix was a version of the Unix operating system, licensed by Microsoft from AT&T in the late 1970s. The Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) later acquired exclusive rights to the software, and eventually began distributing it as SCO UNIX.
The one thing that I really like about Google Earth's Flight Sim is the fact that it's using real world photos for it's terrain. Plus the 3D buildings makes flying a lot more realistic. As much as I love X-Plane, the fact that it uses generic building models for most major cities and a lot of the texture data (at least in the Cleveland area) is tiled and looks nothing like the actual area I'm flying around makes for a less than realistic experience. (Granted, I'm sure that Microsoft Flight simulator looks fantastic and has really realistic real world texture data, but get back to me when Microsoft ports Flight Simulator to Linux or OS X.)
This is slightly OT, but since you seem to prefer laptop style keyboards (as do I), do you have any recommendations as a good desktop keyboard with laptop style keys? Kensington makes a few that, from what I remember, feel very similar to my iBook's keyboard. Any knowledge or advice on those?
Go to Circuit city, and look at all the new IBM terminals littered through the store. Linux. Go to Brazil, and all their fucking ATMs? Linux. "Linux" can't capture market share because "Linux" isn't a singular entity.
To play devil's advocate, the terminals at a local Best Buy run Windows, as do the ATM at one of the local banks and I remember the screen on one of the gas station pumps was using IE to display images.
Don't you remember all those statements by the administration claiming they had proof they couldn't show us, and then coming out with a few lame fuzzy satellite photos of trailers and shit?

Just for clarification, Leopard is still OS X, it's just v 10.5, though I do wonder if Apple is going to make significant changes when it does get around to making OS XI, or whatever it'll be called.
For what it's worth, the current version of SAMBA and subsequent bug fixes will still be distributed under GPLv2 while the new version will be distributed under GPLv3.

For the humor challenged, yes, that was a joke.

That's probably why they have retroactive warrants.

BTW its speil not spiel
I before E except after C, my ass.
...by buying an XBox 360?
Oh, and to the reviewer - the main character is "Rohn", not "Roan."
It also should be noted that the Mokai (your main enemies) are from the north while the Asylians are from the south. Also
Spoiler Alert!
Asylia doesn't become a theocracy until near the end of the game.
Also remember that Rage is coming out for the PS3, which uses OpenGL as a graphics API.
Dear God, I hope not. It (*bibyte) has polluted Wikipedia for damn near every article dealing with storage space, communications, and data.
Now if only somebody could port this as a plug-in for X-Plane.

I heard they have it on computers now.
The Mac office was particularly pleased with "Save To PDF".
Any reason? All OS X native apps can print to PDF as it is anyway.
It's actually "Office Open Extensible Markup Language".

Hmm, so to shorten it up, "Vacuum tubes = it's about time". It's about time for vacuum tubes?

It's called the Painkeep, thank you very much!
