Truly, IBM's architecture is the principal value here, but Apple did a lot of excellent work creating a number of subsystems that help with the G5's respectable performance. IBM took the lead with developments of the PPC 620 and other such MP-optimized designs. The PPC 970 is exactly a derivitive of all that work back in the mid-90s. Apple deserves some credit for creating a "box" worthy of the 970's power.
Have you tried to buy a desktop Dell with Linux preinstalled? A HP? A Gateway? Microsoft holds much sway with these companies. They are beholden to Microsoft, at least on the desktop. Their "innovations" are never more than a new box running whatever DRM-laden crap Microsoft wants them to sell.
Your argument sounds much like the response to the Japanese invasion of the U.S. automotive industry. Once people were exposed to these alternatives, they caught on. Japanese maker dealerships started springing up, and people bought their lovely Hondas. So much so that the established makers had to stop producing such terrible crap, or face extinction.
I use Safari mostly, or Mozilla if I have to (when not on my Macs). IE isn't even on my desktop or Start menu. It's buried down there where it belongs. I'd remove it if it wasn't necessary for Windows Update (I seriously need to get a different patch manager).
This was an institutional "software maintenance" plan that allows you to pay up front via an annual subscription - you get whatever not-so-free versions come out while the subscription is active for the price of a CD. We have a few hundred licenses under this. It was affordable.
I *think* they changed the name, and now they even offer it to individuals.
Sun is talking about charging roughly $100/seat for ALL of their N1 software. Basically, the "guts" of their "enterprise environment" is Sun ONE Directory, the messaging components, and various other "middleware." Sun Java Desktop is simply the desktop component of this "suite." It's a smart idea. Yeah, an organization could build their own "enterprise suite" out of GPL'ed or otherwise open software. Sun is just offering to do it for you.
Nope. Sendmail is not enabled by default on OS X Server. Rather, you use (much to many others' chagrin) Apple Mail Server by default. You have to edit/etc/hostconfig to get it to use Sendmail instead.
On X "Client" you have to edit that file to enable ANY mail transfer agent (sendmail, in that case).
We just had a baby 3 weeks ago. Let me be the first to suggest that the exact OPPOSITE of what you seek will be more useful.
You see, a new parent will be so "hooked in" to their baby that the best thing for mental health is a DIVERSION from "all things baby."
I suggest your friend get a "netcam," but use it at work, so Mom can reach out from her wonderful-but-claustrophobic microenvironment and connect with Dad and the "outside world." In this case, a "chatcam" with audio AND video makes more sense. Point it at something pretty for her. Take 15 minutes to read baby a story. Hell, read him a \. article - they don't care how good/bad your karma is.
Point is - communication works in more than one direction. The looking glass may serve Alice better than the hare,,,
The Big Mac really isn't that big. The Big Bacon Deluxe is neither big, nor deluxe. Secure Shell really isn't that secure (: The Patriot Act really isn't all that patriotic.
About the only true advertising claim is "home of the Whopper." Get a fricken life, you freaks!
Hate the redesign. On the plus side, it uses horizontal space a bit better (my PB G4 has a wide screen), but the "GUI" looks like too much crack induced Gnome widgets and stuff.

naturally I meant MacMacs. Wrong group.
It's a joke. Poking fun at Apple and NBMers. You know. Geez. Get a life, you pathetic wanker of a moderator!
Now go drink your Kool-Aid(TM) and sit down like a good little boy.

IBM might sue over the use of the term "Micro-Channel." Then again, they might just want to forget that whole thing ;)

Some of us bought "Technology Assurance" this year, so upgrades are already paid for...
For indivduals, $130 ain't squat.
Favourite quote: "The 80's called, they want their features back." Heh.
SCO. What a bunch of fools, misguided by a retarded sense of importance...

Just in case you didn't know :)
Sendmail and SSH are off by default. Sendmail is particularly difficult (e.g. there's no GUI) to enable.
"Computer, what's the name of that movie with that chick, you know the one with the dude who was in that other movie."
Can it, like, fire up my bong and stuff?
Where are the Cheetos?
I mean, clowns are scary and shit!
Why? That flaw is in 3.7. Jaguar has 3.4. Plus, the flaw only affects PAM authentication, which is of by default.
I voted for Steve...

that was Back to the Future, Part II. :)
includes both elements of fantasy and those of reality. Consider the many works of Frank Herbert...
