Oh ok well I guess it's better to spam a site like slashdot than to make a simple spelling error or state a political opinion. I really don't use CVS but you don't see me swearing at it inarticulately or in a derisive manner. And the day that humanity ceases to make mistakes will be the day life gets really boring. Why do you think they have spell checkers.
I have heard of technology (military) that allows a person to fire a electromagnetic pulse to knock out all electronic devices within a given area could that be applied to this type of spying.
Really mature now they will impose limits on the size of comments it just goes to show you that idiots DO have a place after all: to make the internet loose freedom.
That would be my complaint too. It seems like the OS is just a toy with no real complexity. It's nice to have a happy smily interface but it's extremely necessary to have something that can flick a switch to make it complex. The whole idea of the mac goes against my grain: just sit back and let the computer think for you. For example I have a problem with compiling the linux kernel (2.3.6) with the e2compr patch for it so that I can do compression. I have tried something it didn't work, so I tried something else, still didn't work. Did I go crying to mommy when it didn't work? nope.
I think it just hides things and makes the problems just glazed over. I want to change anything about the hardware or the OS and if quality is lesser well than too bad. I would rather trade 10Mhz of speed for 2,100% better configurability.
That's double what I have still if you are shelling out that kind of money I would love to have 128. I heard that some of the more high end macs have that much.
Well anything that looks like it was made for 3 year olds with such point/click nature of it and no real advanced features (mac os) why is that so good. The real strength is in the interface to be able to do anything. It reminds me of an associate of mine (CS student) who spent 15 minutes trying to get a file renamed in Mac OS and then just gave up in frustration. Believe me the OS on those things is *EVIL*
Well since I do not own a second computer and do not have access to the internet with my home machine wireless networking is a moot point. Why is networking so cool anyway since most people need hideous security clearence from the "gods" to get that kind of access.
I think that a person has to care a certain ammount to really want to get a computer up and running. The concerns that you address with config issues and such are being resolved with Gnome. In essence it will give all the things that win95/98/NT workstation/server can do but with stability, configurability, and open source.
Just how durable is it? I have never bothered to actually purtchess any form of a notebook because they have a nasty tendency to fall apart at the seams at just the wrong time.
Is it even possible to just increment these things in commercial software? Is there an example where the version increased with no changes to the code (same checksum except for version)?
What site can you go to on the internet that is updated more than slashdot? None that I have seen. Plus it's a good combination between usenet and a news site!
Just about. Oracle is a database application for major businesses. Often in the past deployed with NT. This just levels the playing field for more people to use linux as a database platform.
Well I think the very fact that Oracle has a port of it's database is ample proof that the above statement is false.
This is one area that microsoft cannot touch with a 10 foot pole. Basically it comes down to what businesses (besides small businesses) need and that is a way to organize data that is meaningful to them to make them more productive. Wonder what that group of bread companies could do with Oracle.
They do for example one phone company I know of that operates in the area of the intermountain west USWEST does offer internet access however other competing carriers are often railroaded in their interests. They act like a monopoly. In essence monopolies suck; not just for the consumer but for businesses and tax payers.
If aol gave that kind of access that would really cheapen the issue about how people access the net and the quality of that access. Basically why give out access like that and use aol? If you have access like that get everything you want running with linux. I have never really tried this but how does operating a web server from a dial-up connection work? Is it fairly fast?

Although not many people always read the comments and then sometimes only high moderated comments but it really is a good forum.
doh
Try aspell it works quite well and has quite a selection of alternatives works with british, standard english, and a few others I think.
Would that be spell checker instead of suggestor?
The main thing I like about it is that it allows me to get updates much faster than I could normally.
Yeah like getting support for dos 6.22.

Just how useful is firewire? Why even get all hyped about it. I know it's fast but it just dosn't add up.

If that's what the laptops are like I would like to see what a high end server looks like!! *evil grin*

I have a question. Is there a way to run linux on these? That's the only way I would ever buy a mac.
The big question is it faster? Most likely not with the news features mentioned.
Is it even possible to just increment these things in commercial software? Is there an example where the version increased with no changes to the code (same checksum except for version)?
