The Mac mini provides big screen resolutions whether you use a DVI or VGA monitor. For digital connections, you can set your display up to a widescreen resolution of 1920 by 1200. For VGA, see up to 1920 by 1080.
I like this feature! Any project that is tied to MySQL does not get my business. Thanks to this feature I discovered VDR when everyone else is using MythTV with its crummy backend requirement.
opencms has added postgreSQL support - I chose opencms as my future CMS for example.
It said that X11 version continues and it will be Aquafied by NeoOffice/J. It said that an Aqua fork was not sustainable. This has been the case for quite some time now.
Since Firefox 1.0 I have been busy wiping Mozilla from the machines that I administer. Macs get to keep Safari as second browser. I used Mozilla since the 0.96 beta as browser and most of the time as mail client too.
I'm not sure that analog TV is capable of more than 32,000 colors either?
I am watching digital satellite on a Samsung 15" SyncMaster and it is wonderfull, no banding, screen captures look like they are from an entry level digital camera. (there are mpeg2 artifacts in the usual places - diagonals etc.). DVDs are just fine too.
The screen also has an analog satellite feeding it through the composite in port. The difference is digital sources have real blacks and whites and the picture is in general much crisper (you can see peoples hair as individual strands). Analog looks just as bad as on the Sony TV set we have certainly not worse.
I don't get this story that CRT is superior to TFT for TV. My everyday home experience is quite the opposite.
Maybe screen size is the determining factor?
As for the number of colors visible to the human eye - 16 bit color is very adequate for all but the "profesional".
You don't pay for you electricity? TCO is in favor of the LCD - it uses less electricity and it does not give out as much heat (reducing need to use AC).
CRTs also contain more toxic waste and cost more to dispose of properly.
I have a cheap DVB-S card (skystar2), a hush Epia M10000 with onboard mpeg2 decoding and use http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr/VDR. There is a plugin to get EPG data. You can control it with a web based interface. A simple command line or a plugin writes recordings to DVD etc. etc.

From the Apple site...
Does it have a spell checker too?
Some of us don't have the choice. I run Mac OS X 10.2.8, Apple X11 beta 3, OOo1.1.2-fr on a B&W G3 400 with 256 Mb RAM.
Neo/J requires a 800Mhz+ G4 and 512 Mb RAM. I really like Neo/J but I don't have the hardware to run it.
Apple machines last a lot longer than Wintel so you guys are stuck for a while with people who need OOo on X11.
The price either. But it is the smallest Dell and uses the same idea - laptop components in small footprint "desctop" box.
And what is his take on flying pigs? This is HP saying to Euro clients "take trousers down and bend over, please".
Optiplex
*cough* my mini-itx has Firewire
It also has hardware MPEG2 decoding...
Pioneer makes a lovely slot in DVD-R
It would cost twice as much with passive cooling
It runs Linux of course so it is much faster than with XP

Sorry!
My development server is Mac OS X with Postgresql 7.4.x. A pkg will be made RSN you can count on it.
There are packages and packages though. Mine come from a guy in Switzerland http://entropy.ch/ who does it really well.

Airbus to Unveil $16 Billion Bet on Biggest Airliner (Update3)
This time it opens. Notice the version number... Maybe the the web crew have been asked to get their act together =:-D
Nice link that does not work in Firefox, very helpful...

Thanks I'll try it

What does this have to do TV sets?
We are talking about TV!!!
What does gamut have to do with analog TV signals???

So no, my flat TV does not seem too expensive.
Hmmmm this guy is starting to show his age! He and his company are sooooo 20th century
1. move the B&W G3 development server to son's bedroom and ban other half's noisy W2000 box from house
2. use hush as workstation
3. when kids get back from school speak quietly and carry a large stick

Useful if you live in Europe
Your food sucks too... Well the food you export. I actually managed to eat quite well when I was over visiting your country.
I second that Vuescan Linux is the best.
