They do mention that there is a threat that spam may get out of hand, however. May get?
I work for a college, and one of the professors I support recently began getting spam. He made the startling observation that if it were to ever climb above the three or four messages a week he's getting, it's very possible that legitimate mail could be lost in the noise.
And here I was assuming that a fine MS product like Internet Explorer would embody the rock-solid security I've come to expect from the fellows in Redmond.
I suppose which card would be good depends on what the purpose of this is -- specifically, are you going to need killer 3D performance out of this display, or is it going to be a home theatre PC sort of setup?
You might want to take a look at the Matrox cards if you don't need stunning 3d - my G450 supports a wide range of high resolutions, and it is available with DVI-out.
If it isn't part of Apple's current product line they would have a hard time acquiring their stock.
These guys seem to have a pretty constant inventory of older machines.
I'd love to be able to buy a G3 tower workstation or something similar from TerraSoft. Maybe even an XTerminal or something based on a 6100 in that pizza box case.
I wonder if they'll expand their product line to older machines at some point. I love running OS X on my iMac, but Yellow Dog absolutely 0wnz my 7200/120.
It just seems that exploiting the main strength of Linux/PPC, it's ability to maximize the potential of older hardware, would be a sound business move.
It encodes it with a variable bitrate, so that you get better quality in the parts that need it. It's really a shame that there aren't many out there...
For Mac OS X users, iTunes does it. Just change the bit rate for encoding to "variable" under Preferences.
(This may also be available in iTunes 2 for OS 9, but I'm not going to reboot and install it just to check.)
The human body will be more durable, healthy, energetic, easier to repair and resistant to many kinds of stress, biological threat and (the) aging process.
And sluggish, overweight hackers chugging Mt. Dew everywhere rejoice.
Well, rejoice briefly, and then start gasping and grabbing for the ol' inhaler.
I'm a user of FreeBSD myself, but I've never really even looked into the others.
See, I'm in just the opposite situation. My first *nix was NetBSD, and I've been running it and Open on my network for a few years now. I just installed FreeBSD for the first time last week - I picked up a dual Celeron mainboard, and it's the only one of the BSDs with even rudimentary SMP support.
I have nothing against Linux, but there are quite a few things about it that rub me the wrong way.
I think the development differences between BSD and Linux really show. I've tried a lot of different linux distros on a lot of different architectures, and they always feel unpolished and slapped-together. BSDs always feel like a coherent whole.
I actually tried Red Hat and Mandrake on that dual Celeron before I decided on FreeBSD. The linux installs lasted about a day apiece before I got fed up with the OS.
I've tried to salvage a few 486's at work thinking, yeah, I'll put linux on it and do something with it (as web server or whatever).
NetBSD, baby. My first home *nix box was a Quadra 700 running NetBSD - I used it for mail, web serving, and playing around with Samba, all on a 230 meg drive and 40 megs of RAM.
I'm playing around with FreeBSD right now, which is a little bloatier, but Net and OpenBSD are like quick little lizards next to the lumbering elephantine bulk of the average linux distro.
I just spotted this article at LinuxToday about Redhat being directly involved in a new distribution that will be known as ReHMuDi, which stands for Red Hat Multimedia Distribution.
I'm not a Linux user, so I may be wrong, but I seem to recall there being a Debian-based distro that someone was working on called "Demudi".
Sounds like duplication of effort, one of the common features of Open Source projects.
Has anyone used Demudi? How ready is it for prime time?
Gee, why would you want to do that? I thought everyone who broke into insecure systems was a good-natured Robin Hood, a "white hat" who was just trying to help the poor stupid admins out of the goodness of his or her heart.
Now you're telling me that these people might be malicious?

it has builtin ftp support that acts as a filesystem so web developers can work remotely
Does anyone know of a Mac OS X editor that has this feature? My hosting provider has FTP-only access for my web site, and frankly, I'm a loser who'd rather write something quick in nano rather than constructing some monstrosity in Dreamweaver and uploading it.
Long story short, it's kind of redundant doing basic text editing on my local machine and then FTPing - I'd rather take care of it in one step.

Verizon saved $6 million in equipment costs by switching its programmers from UNIX and Windows workstations to Linux workstations running OpenOffice.
I'm surprised they didn't just fire all the programmers, to save the maximum amount of cash.

You say konqueror's affected?
No, _I_ say konqueror's a dreadful piece of shit. Or at least is was circa KDE 2.2.x -- haven't used it since.

On Mac, you get the choice of NetBSD, Linux, and OS X. Again, I don't think I missed any.
OpenBSD also runs on Macs - either PPC or m68k.

NuBus PowerPC
Hell, I'd be happy if my PowerMac 7200 worked. The thing is even PCI - but since it has a PPC601, it can't run Net or OpenBSD, so I'm stuck with YDL.
