Virtual PC used to come in different flavors. The virtual PC program was the same, but you could buy it with PCDOS (IBMs DOS), Windows or Linux. I had a copy with PC DOS and installed Suse linux on it. Worked great. Obviously the windows version cost more
Im betting no more PCDOS and Linux virtual PC. You'll have to buy the emulator with windows (Much like you can't buy a naked PC).
Sigh
Although with OSX there is less need for running emulated linux, and there are Linux distributions for mac hardware now.
Ever notice that most of these "OVerpaid" jobs require working lots of off hours and often weekends.
I used to work with a photographer to shoot wedings, giving up every fri/ saturday night from may... sept is not fun. Thats why I got a regular job. Also thank goodness she dealt with most of the clients. People are a pain because noone is a pretty as they think they are. Also pro labs are $$$.
Someone did a study.. Its best to either 1) buy new -keep car 8-10 years. 2) buy 4-5 years old - keep car 4-5 years.
Aparently it works out the same on average (actual millage may vary). Of course used cars are a little bit of a crap shoot depending on how the previous owner treated it.
This is just the MPAA trying to get the word out to a young population that although you can find stuff for free on the web its not right to download it? Just an organization like the RIAA protecting its members.
I used to trade apple// games in middleschool. You knew it was a little shady with "backup programs" programs like Mr.Crack man.Locksmith etc.. You knew it was wrong, but I had no money to buy games (heck I had the games to use on the school computers..)
Now however with the p2p software being more "professional" it seems to make pirating apear almost legit. Isn't that one of the arguments used by defendants in the RIAA cases (I paid for the software so why can't I download everthing I want??)
I don't know if this is still true, but the older ibooks (mine included) when hooked to an external monitor can't display higher resolution than the lcd.
Here is the deal. The RIAA represents.... ta da.. The "Recording Industry". The recording industry (record labels) pay them. They Don't represent YOU or ARTISTS (song writers are represented by ASCAP. They are a trade group for companies that SELL music. They are not YOUR Friends.
In case you haven't thought this through, when you download a song off a P 2 P network NOBODY makes any money directly. Not the artist not the record label not the RIAA (Artists may get some marginal benifit from having there music "out there". Please see ll cool Js senate testomony about this.. .
The world has never had such a quick and easy way to produce copies before. This is new.. This is not someone in the basement making bootlegs one at a time on a crappy cassette player and selling them at college fairs.
One wonders why law enforcement isn't looking into piracy more and the RIAA has to defend itself.
If artists want to put there music out there for everyone to copy for free they wouldn't sign music deals, they'd set up web sight. Many do give music away for free!. Go to a show, SUPPORT BANDS YOU LIKE so they don't end up flipping burgers.
You can convert from AAC to mp3 except for songs bought from the itunes music store. It doesn't allow you. Its posible to burn to a cp then rerip as mp3 however.
There chead so when you loose them you don't feel bad.
If you want a little upscale the clear pentel rsvp is also good.
I also have a LAMY roller ball yellow. Its for special occations!
The banned the live demonstation at the awards

Ig Nobel Awards 2003

During the awards ceremony they had a dead duck and a man walked out onto the stage with an aminal cage that may or may not have contained a duck. The "V chip" lawyer nixed the demo with his whistle.
Java can be platform independent because it includes a very larg class library structure.
C also have a large library that is provided by the OS that you #include. C++ has the STL and some other libraries
I believe thats why java feel awkward to a lot of programmers not familiar with its class libraries who want to use c system calls or shell calls to get the job done. The java folks created this because cross platform compatability is hard without this.
However the argument that java is significantly slower than c is pretty much moot. For test and XML processing its almost right there, and significantly easier to write code. All the extra data structures and types allow coders to use more efficent structures easily, usually resulting in faster code. (Similar to the way Perl coders can write blindly fast code easily using the built in Hash functions)
I'm not saying Java is better than everything else, just use the right tool for the job your doing.
I just don't get it why its acceptable, to take something someone has created (musican) and wants to be paid for and give it away for free?.
If musicians want to publish musical works they've created through the RIAA (via a record label) what gives people the right to give it away for free and deny the artists the little money they would have gotten. If you create something isn't it your right to decide what you do with it?
I've seen bands I really like fade into nothing because they couldn't make a go of it. If I like a band I want to support them so they'll make more music.
It seems slashdotters would understand that music and software are similar. They don't have "tangeble" form but never the less have value.
Yeah I know people will download music they won't buy (Its free), and the RIAA is a strong arm monoply etc. The RIAA doesn't represent you, they're not your friend (RI stands for Recording Industy)
It seems hypocritical the Slashdot readers who love file sharing and speak badly of copyright also seem to be the first to jump over any company that violates the GPL(which has copyright as its foundation).
I like it when there is more than one company offering similar services.. They have to work hard to get your business, or you'll just go to the "other guy".
whoever is ahead in this race will change over time, but the 3d cards keep getting better and better. Even the low end cards are capable of 3d decent game playing now.
Notice that windows got more stable, when linux started being more of a threat.
Maybe it time to start working on HURD

The new ads on TV say for comcast high speed cable advertise
"Download music with amazing speed".
I'm sure the RIAA is loving this..
I do really like Itunes though.. 10 million songs sold so far. Its a little too easy to use. . When it hits Windows things will get interesting. This seems like an ideal time to release it.

Copyright violation is still illegal. Do you want the government going after violators?
Macs run "headless" if no video card is detected at startup.

I have a 500 mhz ibook. I like it. The question really is should I have to Hack the firmware to get it to work. The video card is more than capable.
Also I checked the apple sight. Still "Video Mirroring" to external monitor is supported which is apple speak for you can't change the resolution.
sigh.... 32 megs of vides ram...
My rule for buying computers.
research, buy, don't look back (don't look for a least a year)

To get good results using VOIP you need some sort of high speed internet access, which cost considerable more than just basic phone service.
Of cource you could use dial up!

So you set up webcams all around your house, post them on the internet..?
