I know exactly what you mean. For my users, 9 times out of 10, its the Word Settings (10) file. I just created a login hook that nukes it on login, and all is well.
Sure, firewire hooks into a TV, through stuff. However, as far as I know, you can't just push your entire screen out vide firewire, and have it act like a display.
BTW, I've got a canopus box at home, solid stuff. Much better than the Pyro or Formac boxes I've demo'd.
Yes, but firewire doesn't plug into a tv. Its a wonderful tool, but its not an interface to a home entertainment center.
And you right, I hope it does have VIVO! Standard ports are far easier (for other people) to code for. But a pci would also make it nicer for musicians to drop into their racks. Plenty of nitch stuff uses pci slots instead of firewire still.
Course, if you know of a good firewire->Pci expansion box....
There's plenty of people who get a PowerMac simply for the dual displays. Being able to pop in a second video card would mean most of our design department could have gotten iMac instead of Powermacs.
There's not that much of a performance difference between the iMac and the PowerMac these days.
Well, video in and out would be nice. Can you imagine a nice little Apple box for your Myth front end?
I still say apple missed the boat by not making their new G5's be able to act as a monitor. Not to much use for it, but it seems like it'd fall into the "damn, thats cool" idea that Apple loves.
Plus, how about trickle charging laptops over firewire when they're in target disk mode?
Well, the questing would be what do you get out of Windows that you don't get out of Debian? What's making it more handy to keep (disgruntled) Windows than switch to Debian, which you're liking?
This is seriously one of the dumbest lists I ever seen. The first one you can actually buy, Belkin makes it. The second is a drink cooler, which you can get a device that does that same thing for 8 bucks. The third one (lego person inside of a mouse) is at least original.
The controlled etcha-a-sketch is actually cool.
And then followed by a mini-itx pc someone shoved into the body of an old Millennium Falcon toy.
So over all we've got 1 cool one, 2 ugly ones, 1 creative but useless one, and one that just shouldn't be in the list because you can buy a good version of it.
Only if you're working on your snapstream when you'd otherwise be getting paid. Your free time doesn't give you any actual cash. Sure, your time does have a value, it its value is not in dollars and cents terms.
No, its that few textbooks last more than a few years in most schools. I distinctly recall a 3 year old english textbook in middle school that was in two pieces.
First, do you actually think the special cds you'd need for this burner catastrophe are going to be easier to come by then printable cds?
Second, yeah, don't try printing onto non-printable cds, but why would someone have to be told that? OF COURSE you're not supposed to print onto regular cds, they have an entirely different finish. It'd be like trying to use a pen on glass, and then complaining of the quality. Thats not what its designed to do.
Third, yeah, it does take longer to print to a cd than than paper, but its about the same as it takes to print at the settings for photo paper, or transparencies.
If a user can change it, than at least at a theoretical level its possible to change it automatically. It might involved replacing or editing a binary file, or using the gui scripting, but doable.
A quick check didn't couldn't find it in ~/Library/Preferences or ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/, but I'd imagine its in there.
You're wrong about needing a password to turn off the automatic updates, btw. Not a big deal, it doesn't make your argument any less valid, but just so you know.
As opposed to this technology that makes you a new cd burner?
Besides, Epson actually makes a good photo printer in the R200 that lets you print to cds. At $100, its hard to believe that this spinoff of HP will make a product thats as good and as cheap, It requires an uncommon media.
Just too late to market. Might have worked before cd printers became common.
This is making the assumption that everyone goal is to move everyone to Linux. Maybe some people's goal is to have the best tools available to everyone, regardless of their platform. I don't see it as any sort of problem that people are downloading FireFox for Windows and OS X.
At the end of the day, its about everyone having the best computing experience possible, not whether they use Linux or not.
Usually around 3 hour, layover, then 1 hour. I would imagine most intercontinental flight s have this sort of thing, but my short to medium flights didn't.

The difference is that in outerspace, when things break, they stay there. In regular airspace, they land on (or go through) someone's roof.
Do you know of any dedicated Terminal services clients? Actual diskless (little) boxes for use with Terminal Services?
OK, 2 different issues. One, you're absolutely right, Apple's mini vga (or dvi on 12" powerbooks) works great.
My issue with the G5 is that it would be nice if it could act as a monitor. DVI in, and a small button or something. Just saying that would be handy.
No, the other way around. My computer's desktop onto my tv.

Are you talking about the right discussion here? What do thin clients, blade, or servers in general have to do with apple producing a cheap box?

Maybe OSX would provide that missing "thing".

You know, thats the idea they go under, but its surprisingly hard to get money out of 12 year olds, or their parents.

Heck, I've got 2 at home. (Don't ask; the statute of limitations hasn't run out yet).

There's a few wonderfully hand illustrator templates floating around.
Then enjoy your new burner in mid 2005, and the $5 cds it'll take to make the feature worthwhile?
Try one of the recent Epson Cd printers. Assuming you have the printer someplace stable (desk wobble makes a difference), it sprints beautifully.
