    No fragmentation? A friend was just bitching about his Word With Friends. Apparently some of the buttons are simply not accessible because the UI was created on one phone, and whatever that phone is, had a bigger screen resolution than his phone, so some buttons disappear off screen.

    Please. Boies was the lead lawyer in the Microsoft monopoly trial - against Microsoft. He was one of the best trial lawyers to break up illegal monopolies then.

    Lawyers argue for the side that is paying for them. Just like everyone else - you do the work you're paid to do.

    You probably can't get more commercial grade than Cisco, which is what we use at work. Guess what. It's not just the cost of switches, but also the cost of running those wires. At $50 to $200/drop, it quickly adds up. And if you need to add more...

    Wired backbone cost is the same for wired or wireless switches, and so, is irrelevant.

    I thought about that. Then I thought about my usage patterns - TBolt display at work, with GigE to my TBolt display, and wireless everywhere else.

    Also, while USB->Ethernet sucks, TBolt -> GigE adapter would work for me. Hell, with TBolt, we can do TBolt -> 10GigE

    Just have your OSX do a repair - it could be that certain VTOC or directory tables were damaged, and a repair may fix it. The files themselves should be OK, but the pointers to them are fubared.

    Also try something like http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec or similar to recover deleted files. There's one for OSX. Run it after a repair, and photorec, and you should get most of your crap back.

    The only reason it started "eroding" Netscape's market share is because it was bundled. And the only reason for bundling at that time was to kill off Netscape. Did you miss the Microsoft Monopoly trial?

    Like I said - depending on what you mean by fail. It's like one of the UNIX guys who took MCSE exams way back when. He went in and took it cold (no prep, no study, nothing). For every question, he asked himself, which answer would make Microsoft the most money, and chose that.

    He passed his exam.

    Would you say Windows NT 4.0 was successful? Certainly, in terms of sales, it was. In terms of security and availability? Pure fucking piece of shit.
