While Michael Moore may be guilty of "creatively editing" various bits for his films (and yes, I agree with someone else who said his films were commentaries, and not documentaries), I think it's still important to recognize that his films do invoke discussion about some serious issues. He brings to light things that some would rather us not bother ourselves with, and gets the debate going. And he does it in an entertaining way.
If you're looking for a good Java compiler, Metrowerks Codewarrior is extremely fast, especially on the Mac. I'm not sure how it does it, but not only does it compile what seems like a hundred times faster than javac, but it also produces much more optimized byte code.
I say go for the PowerBook. You'll be getting a great all-around system that you'll love using. I just got a 1.25GHz 15" PowerBook, and it is by far the best computer I've ever owned.
Actually, it's more like putting a scarecrow to guard the sheep. I don't think Microsoft has the intentions of the wolf -- it just is no damn good a security.
As a Telus customer here in British Columbia, this is scary news. They can't even provide reliable ADSL service!
"We're sorry, the number you dialed cannot be reached because you did not get an IP address from our DHCP server. Please renew your lease and dial again."
... so long as you're the one selling the email addresses to these suckers selling laser supplies, penis enlargements, or those Princes from South Africa with millions of dollars. Maybe we should track down the people selling the addresses and bombard them with traffic for once. We can use the slashdot effect to give these people a test of their own medicine.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm as excited as a little school girl for August 24. Rendezvous and iChat alone will make things worthwhile. Finally, we will be able to very easily transfer files (and calendars!) to each other with no hassle. My friends and I all have iBooks/PowerBooks with wireless networks. No matter where we are, we can open up our computers, and start surfing right away. Only trouble is, file sharing has always been too many steps to get files from one computer to the other. With iChat, I'll be able to see Mike right away, and just drag a file onto him. Boom. It's there.
Also, with Mail and its adaptive latent semantic analysis, I can finally be spam free. Sure, I've setup procmail with various recipes and such, but it takes way too long, and is never truly good enough. With all the new spamming tactics these days, one needs something that's smart and can learn. I've always thought Mail had potential, but for me the lack of a calendar was always a problem. Looks like with Jaguar I'll be switching from Microsoft Entourage to Mail/iCal/AddressBook.
Here, here! I haven't had cablevision for about four years, and it's been great. Who knew books could be so entertaining?:) They are probably the best technology ever: you can take them with you wherever you go, you don't have to work *your* schedule around *them*, and they can star any character your heart desires! Oh, and the best thing: no commercials, yet you can have as many bathroom breaks as you like! In fact, they can even follow you in! Everyone ought to give up their cable for books and take a stance against these bloody advertisers.
Though, for the TV shows I do like, I just wait until they come out on DVD. No commercials, watch as many or as few as you like, and they're on whenever you like. Sure, the "cable" people are usually ahead, but who really cares. HBO is pretty good at bringing their shows out (Oz, Supranos, Sex in the City), and some of the more common shows are also available (Friends, M*A*S*H, ST:TNG, etc). Now if only Seinfeld was available!:)
> Dispite all your hand waving, when you get right down to it, a Gateway 2ghz PC with a CDRW and all that AND a 19 inch monitor costs just $999.
Right, but do you really want a computer that causes people to take a sledgehammer to it in public places? In case you've forgotten about this, you might want to refresh your memory.
If you want to some true geniuses at compiling music, give Kruder and Dorfmeister. The K&D Sessions are a nice blend of down-tempo, while Conversions is really great drum-and-bass. It's hard to pick a favourite, but the DJ Kicks - Kruder and Dorfmeister is probably the most diverse album. I've listened to them all thousands of times.
Oh, and each have their own albums to. Richard Dorfmeister's work can be found under the name Tosca. Some really great albums for an event different feel. Peter Kruder operates under the name Peace Orchestra. His stuff is much more mellow, but still great.
You should see two sshd processes, one with the UID of 0 (root), and the one you are logged in via which should have your UID and "[priv]" in its command name.
Okay, thanks for the info. Strangely enough, I don't see that "[priv]" is my ps even when I do a ps auwwx|grep sshd, but I do see that there are two processes for each connection, one owned by the user who logged.
I'm wondering how you can tell if UsePrivilegeSeparation is working? I have everything installed under Debian 2.2 (had to set UseCompression no). I thought that the subprocesses would be owned by the user 'sshd', but they still are owned by root. Since I went to all this trouble to upgrade, I'd like the peace of mind that if an exploit happens, the intruder won't get any farther than/var/empty as the user 'sshd'.
so then how does google get away with it? they have cached versions of pages. and what about http://web.archive.org/ ? It seems like slashdot could easily do something similar.

CmdrTaco: contrary to popular belief, it is not only female graphic designers using the MacOS. I am a (male) software developer and Linux geek, and I use the MacOS for my everyday operating system. I use Linux for all my server-related stuff of course, but for a desktop environment, nothing else compares to the MacOS. I've used pretty much every desktop environment there is -- I used to use Linux with AfterStep/KDE/WindowMaker/etc for a long time, but I finally decided I wanted an environment I could actually use easily and productively. I found your comment to be quite ignorant and narrow-minded. I'm sorry to hear that this is the way you think. That aside, I am quite pleased to hear the news about this X server for Mac OS X. There are still times when there's an X program I would like to tunnel through SSH from my Linux server on to my Mac desktop. There actually is an amazing X server for the Mac OS called eXodus (http://www.powerlan-usa.com/exodus/), which I hope that Tenon trys to match in quality and functionality.

Actually, John Carmack ported XFree86's X11 server. Tenon is writing an X11 server of their own (hopefully *not* based on XFree). I'd imagine that it'll be a lot nicer to work with, and a hell of a lot easier to configure.

Give GyazMail a try. http://homepage.mac.com/gooichi/GyazMail/. It's a really nice, fast, Cocoa email client. Best of all, it doesn't display inline HTML!
