Have you seen an ugly 1U?
Yes I use Mac OS X on a daily basis. Yes I have Linux on the desktop and on servers. Yes they are complementary - aim your arrows of derrision at W2000, that is where the enemy lives
Got me scratching my head on that one. Have you installed a secure Apache / Tomcat / Postgresql web app on Mac OS X yet? If so where is the HOWTO?
Even at my very expensive European rates (tax, tax, tax...) I can get an application server up and running for much less than a WebObjects/Oracle solution. On Mac but preferably on Linux/Intel for hardware cost reasons - hell I provide SCSI RAID.
How about a Sony 20" monitor that had been pierced by a pipe somewhere in transit.
Small hole in box tipped us off. There was another on the other side of the box... a 1.5" pipe had been driven straight through and, no, the tube wasn't touched so it probably worked. The casing was a mess though.
This was back in the early 90's when this monitor cost the price of a small second hand car.
3D is a really small market. You got lots of kids playing with 3DMax but there are few clients for high end stuff.
I was trained on Wavefront before it became Maya - you bought the Wavefront licence and they gave you an O2 to use it on...
Blender was good. I have a binary round here somewhere but nowadays I only play with 3D - I am not a buyer. If I was a buyer it would be Maya on Mac OS X.
Just because they are concentrated in the USA doesn't mean they are from there... The reason they are there is called a "brain drain" and that is where the best paid jobs for programmers are.
Lots of them were born AND educated elsewhere.
Lots of projects started elsewhere: SAMBA, Webmin and others spring to mind...
I have a fragile laptop - Sony Vaio Picturebook. It is tiny and people who have picked theirs up by the screen - well they don't have a screen anymore...
So I treat it like a box of eggs and it is mint condition. I have been using it every day for over a year and a half now.
My egg drop at design school was more of an egg fly. A small gust of wind at the drop made the egg lift quite a bit and instead of floating down 10 floors went up 2 then softly down to the ground.

"It's not particularly a good deal, I mean, you can pick up 200$ 15" tft displays at Fry's"
Sure and they are really like high quality compared to the $500 ones too. Great backlighting. Long lasting LCD. No dead pixels... sure...
"and lets get real, the G4 (Excepting the velocity engine stuff) isn't that fast of a chip at any available speed compared to the x86 world."
What are Macs used for??? "excepting the velocity engine"... Jeez what a genius. In imaging Macs beat any PC. Seen Maya running on a G4??? Who gives a damn about M$ office bloatware suite.
We are talking about a consumer PC that lets you do home videos with software and hardware that I would have killed for 4 years ago in a professional environement.
"I do worry about it overheating, as I did flash back to the cube's cracking problems a bit."
Notice how there are lots of sharp right angles in a hemisphere... And it is a G4, not a P4. It doesn't get as hot as my 600 Mhz Athlon for crying out loud.
It would be nice if Steve would bring out a "professional" version with a Sony 16" 1240 x 1024 LCD. I think that would make a nice $2200 high end machine.
But the problem with IP is that it has to be sold at a reasonable price. What percentage of a months salary does a CD of (your favorite artist here) represent in developping countries? What small business can compete with large ones when software licence fees represent over 20% of grosss?
I saw Dave Stewart say this on a BBC show last week - "Music is too expensive". And it is the middlemen who are getting fat and rich, not the artists. Their excuses are weak to say the least.
I started my life as a geek on the Mac. In 1997 OS 7 made me look for something that stayed up for more than 20 minutes...
I moved to Linux and have been using a Linux desktop since then. I also have a G3 OS X box.
My G3 blue and white will be payed for in June. I'll replace it with a G4 or whatever is available at that time and finance that over 3 years too. Before then I will upgrade the game box to Athlon 1.x Ghz with a new 3D card - I'll be able to pay that cash...
If Macromedia ported Ultradev Studio to Linux I wouldn't even look at a Mac. I could build 2 Machines for the price of a G4 - and two machines are better than one.
Looking at my main machine it is a toss up between an iBook and a new Vaio Picturebook. The Vaio has form factor in its favor. In any case the iBook would be dual boot Linux / OS X.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black ar just colors. In the civilized world you can't patent colors.
Pantone has nothing to do with CMYK - absolutely nothing.
What you need is a color seperating driver for your printer.
I would be interested in seeing what kind of halftones you get from amateur screen printing.
I started out in life as a screen printer and then moved on to DTPresentations and did one of the first desktop color seperation here in the west of Europe with software called PhotoMac. I then moved on to Photoshop which I have used since beta.
Now I use Painter for leisure and GIMP where I can in daily work.

That is F for "Fink"
what else can I say?
I have a couple of CD-ROMs that I picked up at interop Paris from the Lineo booth.
I didn't much understand anything more than "we are a Linux embedded consulting firm".
That could have been a niche.
Anyways the CDs are great (especially the credit card sized one) for breathing life into servers with crashed hard disks.

I have never understood a thing about karma (much like in real life...)
I had some then it went away. I don't know why and I don't much care...
I love ads! ads are full of usefull information. Some are cute. And no ad is too big for aDSL!!
People started trying to break in through port 21 just 45 minutes after my aDSL line went up for the first time...
You never read the quote by himself saying that MS isn't and never would be a hardware company???
I read it and as they aren't I don't buy stuff that doesn't exist... Remember He never lies!
Logitech make very nice mice and on my Vaio I have a very small Dexxa wheel mouse. But my next mouse will be a Wacom Graphire.
They came for money not anything else. If success is mesured by money alone the the IT industry is successful.
European IT industry died because predatory way of doing business that Microsoft was condemned for. Not because of lack of talented programmers.
like here in France you would just happily live in sin, have children, raise them, hack...
Marriage stinks (I have been) living together forever rocks!

That's why I have a Mac running Mac OS X...

Looking at my main machine it is a toss up between an iBook and a new Vaio Picturebook. The Vaio has form factor in its favor. In any case the iBook would be dual boot Linux / OS X.
A more accurate survey would be:
1. How many computers do you use?
5-6 Main machine a Vaio Picturebook running RedHat 7.1
2. How many of those are running Linux on the a) Desktop, b) server?
1 Linux server
1 Linux ADSL gateway/router/firewall
1 Linux desktop
1 Linux portable
1 Mac OS X/9.2 blue and white G3
1 Mac OS 9.1 G4 (occassionaly)
Windows is run in VMWare machines on Linux desktop and on portable.
another site that should be running Postgresql...
1. Don't use M$IE use omni web
2. protest very loudly to Apple so they ensure that this function is off by default.
3. write the supreme court and say that Microsoft is sabotaging the only desktop OS left by creating security holes for it
