Not only is it not a single 1 tb disk (four 250gb drives) but you also have to consider that the way they calculate disk space (1000 bits per byte and not 1024), it actually only amounts to roughly 930gb on the real scale, so it's nowhere close to being a "terrabyte disk" imho.
just an FYI, the real scale is what hard drive manufactures have been using all along.
we've been using an incorrect variation that the standards people finally fixed... 5 years ago
i have a pair of Rockports that i got for a retail job (they go with khakis) in 1999 this job was on my feet from 9 to 5. it is now almost time to retire them!
the best part is: i've got big feet. it's hard to find ANY shoes that'll fit me, let alone nice ones!
i also have a pair of Reboks that i ware when I'm not dressing up (they were the only pair of shoes in the store that fit me!) and those work good for on my feet all day as well. i spent all week at macworld, and split it between these 2 pairs of shoes, i think the Reboks were more conformable. (they aren't ready to retire either)
ironies of ironies: Rebok owns Rockport (or at least they did when i got these shoes)
most PDA (some clies included) only have short range IR. my old Palm IIIc for example only worked if you aimed directly at the IR receiver on the TV, anywhere else, and it failed to work.
to answer your question, if you Clie didn't come with ClieRemote, then that is an indication that you only have a plain old PDA IR port rather than the supped up IR port on the T665:\
OmniRemote used to make an IR device that clipped onto a Palm III (and older) style serial port, and from what i've read, that worked better than most remote controls (you just had to hold your PDA backwards)
i'm happy with my Sony Clie PEG-T665. it's not a universal Remote but rather a PDA that comes with a pretty good set of Universal Remote codes for the included ClieRemote program (creative name i know) driven a really awesome IR port. (for a PDA)
sadly i'm starting to find some newer devices that it doesn't work with - notably all-in-one DVD/Radio/Speaker systems.
there are some good 3rd party Remote programs that work with the Clie (and other Palm OS PDA's but the IR Port on most PDAs suck for long range remote functions) such as OmniRemote (a good program, but you have to teach it everything - it comes with no codes!) or NoviiRemote (a good looking program that i have not used yet - i'm happy with the Clie software)
Li-poly cells are more forgiving, but with most of the benefits of Li-ion cells. I don't know how popular they are outside of R/C applications, however.
well, you're closer to being on topic than you think, they use Lithium Ion Polymer batteries in the iPod, as well as in many PDAs
i hate to pick nits, but iPods and some PDA's have Lithium Ion Polymer batteries. Sadly, i don't know what properties Li-Ion Polymer batteries have verses standard Li-Ion cells, aside from the fact that Li-Ion Polymer is more of a flexible sheet rather then a AA shaped cell.
anyone have any more information? i know that the Li-Ion battery in my TiBook has seen a lot less memory effect in comparison to the Lithium Ion Polymer battery in my Clie. but then again, i keep my TiBook at a full charge most of the time, and i use my Clie off the grid a lot more than my TiBook.
i was replying to the original query of What does running a mac have to do with using Open Firmware?
that query didn't say anything about SPARCs, but i wouldn't be surprised if SPARCs have been running OF since OF was 1st created, since sun came up with the spec and all:)
my P4B533 (always off, as it's an expensive space heater) has a feature called ASUS EZ Flash. it does exactly what you're looking for, it flashes the BIOS before any OS loads.
If I remember my history right, it was one of the Apple developers that in the design process cut two digits from the year, in order to save memory. Since they were trying to make a consumer product (or at least consumer-priced product), even more work went into minimizing cost. This was also in the 70s. The IBM PC just copied that system.
FYI, no apple of the 1970s stored the date. the Macintosh (or possibly the lisa, i don't know) stored it's date as an int just like unix, but the epoch started in 1900 of the local time zone.
when the mac moved to Mac OS X things got complicated, because the NVRAM is still storing based on the 1900 epoch, but the OS is using the 1970 epoch.
Well, there's no profit in self-destructing the viewer, so that's not likely...;)
well self-destructing hardware and indirectly the user (viewer) seems to be news-worthy and they say any news is good news. and since good news leads to new/more customers, that'll lead to more profit!
i just solved the puzzle!
1) kill customer 2) make (good) news 3) new customers see news and visits/buys 4) profit!
Nitpick: SheepShaver on BeOS is similar to VMWare on Linux, it allows you to run a PowerPC OS in it's own protected environment, and was geared towards Mac OS.
WINE on the other hand is an implementation of some of the Windows API's, allowing Windows software to run on top of Linux without sticking Windows inbetween.
it's all a matter of permissions./Applications has is group writable and it's group is the admin group, it is NOT other writable, that means that you need to have an account with administrative privileges (a member of the admin account) if you want to add, remove, or change files in the/Applications folder.
the same holds true for/Library. it is in/Library/StartupItems that you would put things that run as root during boot (and if your startup items aren't owned by root with restrictive permissions, the OS will complain and offer to fix it for you (after a password prompt))
as far as setting things to run for other users during login, there is now GUI front end, and the plist file to edit is in ~/Library, a folder that only the owner an peek inside of, therefore, you need to have a root prompt to change other uers login items.
i've been pretty close to ditching BBEdit (6.5 i admit, it's hefty upgrade for a TextEditor)in favor of a SubEthaEdit/Xcode combo. (SubEthaEdit for a live updating HTML preview, AND mutilple people working on the same file at the same time. Xcode for C/C++/Obj.C programing without other people involved) i might have to give the new BBEdit a try now that it has one of my favoroite SubEthaEdit features:)
(oh, and given that SubEthatEdit is cocoa, it's got your Emacs key bindings - freak)
The update needs you to reboot the computer. *sigh* Why is that? This is a web browser we're talking about.
oddly, this update isn't an update to Safari, instead, it's an update to the CoreFoundation framework!
as the name implies, CoreFoundation is the core of all your aqua apps, or at the very least, all your cocoa apps. one of the things this framework can do is let any app that uses the framework to get data from a URL, so it would make sense that the cookie handling would be there too. yeah, in this case i'd say a reboot is absolutely called for.
i think your gripe is more that you can't control the size of your cache, but some creative partitioning with a side of fstab could fix that:)
my gripe is that safari doesn't seem to take advantage of the cache to the same extent that IE and Moz do, slowing down loading of mostly static pages and images
but i still prefer it to any other browser out there:)

i thought it was "90% of software development takes 90% of your time, the last 10% takes another 90%"
now that i get it spit out it looks wrong... oh well <Submit>
is that like overcolocking a nuclear warhead?

I agree. I see the same thing with Apple. Every time I buy a Macintosh, I have the hardest time getting W2K to run on them. Damn lock in.
;)
works well enough for me. although my last new mac was a 32 bit machine
probably because macs have run OF since 1995.
my P4B533 (always off, as it's an expensive space heater) has a feature called ASUS EZ Flash. it does exactly what you're looking for, it flashes the BIOS before any OS loads.

i was looking for a snowspeeder too!
you just know that in some parody they're going to be in snowspeeders rather than on horses!
it was still an impressive scene, and i wouldn't have bought Leggolos(SP?) showing off, had i not seen him showing off in TTT, that was the payoff.

gee, if i got "non-com" wrong, what makes you think i know what NCO is? (non commissioned officer?) /me rolls his eyes
He's the calm, capable, competant non-com who holds his shit together and gets done whatever needs doing.
:P
maybe i'm misinterpreting your use of "non-com" but i though that MC was in command of an entire squad
I take offense to your not taking offense to my offensive speech! ;)
hmmm...

Safari -> Empty Cache
or you could push cmd-option-E
i think your gripe is more that you can't control the size of your cache, but some creative partitioning with a side of fstab could fix that
my gripe is that safari doesn't seem to take advantage of the cache to the same extent that IE and Moz do, slowing down loading of mostly static pages and images
but i still prefer it to any other browser out there
shouldn't that be "Shipping a substandard OS to non-European customers?"
;)
yeah i know, it was too easy
