It isn't the same concept at all. In the X model, all the eye candy can be done on the 'X server' side, ie, all done on the client, so it doesn't use any extra server time or network bandwidth. In the Terminal Server model, all the eye candy has to be done on the server side, so it will use extra server time and network bandwidth.
*loads nVidia drivers under ReactOS* *runs nVidia 3D demos*
When you have native display drivers you don't *need* a good VGA one. They're working on useful things, like getting Office/OpenOffice and the such running.
Ah, yes, that'd be the Windows Media Player 9 for Mac which doesn't actually handle half the Windows Media codecs, never mind the others, and entirely fails to support anything DRM-related. Oh, and it's buggy as hell, and it often decodes video/audio it *supports* incorrectly (as in, random corruption). And of course it's a crappy ugly skinned app.
In order to be vaguely comparable in terms of components (the Dell's RAM/FSB is slower but the iMac's CPU is slower, so whatever), you need to look at upgrading the Dell to have a DVD writer when compared to the Superdrive models, to replace the video card in the Dell with something remotely sane, and to replace the hard drive with something of a larger capacity.
No, sudo asks for the password of the currently running user, and then if correct, checks a data store -/etc/sudoers - to see if that user is allowed to use sudo, and only then runs the administrative command. The root logon is not involved; it's actually disabled on some of my boxes.
IE for Mac is a different, mostly compatible browser with the same name. No-one uses it, despite the fact it's bundled with the system, because it's old and slow and still breaks with a bunch of IE-compatible sites.
The old IE for *nix (Solaris and HP-UX, I think) was just a straight port of IE for Windows, I think using MainWin, but it isn't available any more.
your definition of 'common end user' is obviously something much nearer to 'gamer'. most common end users are happy with the first three (which are present on both Linux and MacOS) and some stupid card games
well, classic is crap compared to anything windows post-3.1 for a large number of reasons, but the finder is one of the things which they got right and which stayed right
OS X runs Mac apps from pre-Win3.x days fine, though, it's just OS X apps which have issues. Often because undocumented bits are being used, which leads to the same issues.. a bunch of apps in Windows have the same problem, win3.x apps may run fine on XP but apps from more modern times often have stupid issues. And XP will happily run Windows 2 apps with a bit of prodding, for that matter..
urgh. i'm presently suffering (and have been for over a week) discontinuation from venlafaxine. i can hardly stand upright, or type properly... it certainly does work damn well, but it sure as hell shouldn't be the first thing tried, because the discontinuation can be, well, crazybad. *dies some more*
that just describes a solution to the game, not to fix the bug (I ended up using a program which chews 90% of cpu or so, to slow the game down so it worked).
My friends and I, together, have bought.. 6 copies, I think.. of Thinking in Java, solely due to the easy availability of the ebook, so we could evaluate how good it was and realise that we all really wanted a damn paper copy. And we're certainly not rich, all students living off loans.

There are hacks around to make the new models use the old Graffiti. Thank goodness.

Have you tried asking Codeweaver for support on that? It works wonderfully here..
SO WHAT
So they promised to release it under the Wine License and then didn't. (incidentally, I'm a subscriber..)
CVS WineX is *not* under a Free Software license.
Presumably your card driver doesn't support MAC address spoofing, then. Most do.
Some of us cycle or walk to and from the local movie store.
The *latest* Winamp 5 decodes iTunes non-DRM AACs fine.

if you have an iBook, why on earth aren't you using Preview.app on it? :) the latest Acrobat Reader for OS X has awful performance
QuickC wasn't particularly much to do with QB.. it was just a stripped down Microsoft C compiler (no optimisation) and a nice IDE for it.
But the actual choice in the forseeable future is iTMS vs Windows-only stores.
The Soundbridge does not support Apple's DRM, only unencumbered AAC files.
Wine runs MacApps now?

Did you miss the bit where CVS keeps version changes?
