it took me 4 trys to start RotK, i couldn't get past the 1st chapter! but beyond that, i found it a good read. this is from someoone who isn't much of a paper reader:)
it's not fair! my servers don't put out enough heat! they are mac G3s and the only fan in any server is just the case circulating fan! they don't even have CPU fans!:( maybe i should get one of those space heater/proccessor Pentuim 4s and run those in the winter:) (but stick with the G3s in the sumer)
I like the linksys because it does everything it needs to and does not include useless features such as modem ports
have you ever had your Cable/DSL go down? i have. the APBS comes in handy in that case, i plug in a phone line swap configs and now my whole network has net access again! (albeit only 56k shared by 5 computers):)
and firewalls that are better done by using a seperate computer acting as a gateway
using a separate computer is a pain in the ass. the AirPort software otoh is very easy to use, hence the manufacturer of the device.:P
the only reason i can see using a separate computer for firewalling is to also do encryption that isn't useless. to bad the 802.11b spec uses WEP

have you run Classic Mac OS 8? 8.5? 9? i can name a Copland technology that seeped into each!
Mac OS 8: the GUI, Threaded Finder
Mac OS 8.5: V-Twin (better known as Sherlock), Appearance Manager (alows for the never publcly released Hi-Tech, and Gizmo themes from Copland)
Mac OS 9: Multipule Users
funny that the only place i was able to find a (semi)complete article on Copland was in a magazine that isn't even published any more;)
all links refer to Copland rather then Mac OS 8 or later ^_^
though i've only got 384 MB in my Beige G3 Sever and PowerBook G4 each if only i could trade in a couple of 256 MB DIMM's for a 512 MB SO-DIMM ^_^ (before you mentions how cheap RAM is right now, know that i blew all my money on the PowerBook itself):D
it starst in september '02 and they are all going to be NC's! sounds like a good applicatoin for an iBook with a small hard drive and Mac OS X server! (don't you just love my mac twists;)
when i was in middle school my backpack was heavy enough! now they want these kids to carry around an extra 8-12 lb?!
we have to be serious here, would you intrust your 12 your old child with a $3000 wizbang lastest greatest laptop that only weighs 4 pounds or will you give him/her you 3 year old notebook that weighs almost as much as your child?
i'd drop down to a $1300 laptop and most of those also weigh 8 lb! the exception to that rule is the AppleiBook and with one of those suckers then weight starts to become a non-issue, but at 5 lb it is still probably to much.
The apple DVD-R does not employ CSS and is limited to 1G (IIRC). apparently this means that you don't get as much for $10, record once, smaller size and your stuff is not as important to protect.
the super drive doesn't do CSS besause it is DVD-R(g) not DVD-R(a)* they are (all together now) differnt standars (but only in that one does css and the other doesn't)
as for the 1 GB your just wrong! the super drive is a 4.7GB drive just like any other DVD drive. the consumer software, iDVD, that comes with the computers OTOH will only incode the video to be 1 hour, nothing longer. if you want longer video you have to spend and extra $1000 to get the profetional software, DVD Studio Pro that can do css as well as everything else in the DVD-Video spec! (but the drive still can't do CSS or double layered disks, you have to make an image file from the DVD Studio and then get that file to a DVD plant, prefribly on DLT tape)
*DVD-R was the 1st DVD recordable format, then they decided that consumers would be using the format too so they made the drive use a lower quality laser and not support the CSS portion of the disk (thus making it chaper,) they split the standerd into DVD-R for Authoring (the old format) and DVD-R for Genrel use (the updated consumer format, because what consumer needs to make sure there wedding doesn't play in france?)
I got a training session on this from Apple:P
please ignore the bad spealing, i'm not in the mood to use a speal checker.
watch it! i actuly lost a couple of disks that way!
ahh the good ol' days: taking a power drill to a floppy disk, not knowing that pireting software was bad, (i was just trading!) not knowing what CD-ROM is...

Um -- but there is nothing holding them closed, which is largely the point...
Um -- have you, um, ever, uh, used a clam shell iBook, Dude?
the clam shell stays closed better then latched WallStreet (AND new PowerBook G4) withought any latch!
but dude! -- it doesn't have a latch! uh, how does it stay closed? you might ask
the thing is spring loaded! if you close it to about 75% closed it'll snap shut and stay shut unless you pry it open past 25% open!
for a good laugh about this feature of the clamshell iBook chekc out As The Apple Turns:
funny, there is a 3 button solute on my apple//c* open-apple (as it was then called) control reset!:)
yes the 3rd button on apples 3 button solute was RESET:)
i don't ever remember using it though:)
* I am aware the Apple//c came out AFTER the IBM PC (Piece of Crap) but there ARE older Apple//'s that i had access to in school that had the same 3 button solute.
don't you know that the animated series isn't in the "real" star trek universe??
it's in one of the many parallel universes (no not the one with bad Kirk, or the one with bad Kira)
There are many inconsistencies between the animated series and the live action series' I've only seen one episode so I can't tell you what those are! any other./ers wanna chime in?
Between TOS and TMP, there was a change in the Klingon high command. The new bosses rejected the espionage-oriented policy as dishonorable, and the Klingon troops all gratefully switched back to their native forms. They're mortified by the whole affair to this day, so "We do not speak of it."
your theory works well, it would also explain why Kirk didn't notice the differences between the southern and northern Klingons in ST3, and ST4...
Intel has done no sutch thing. 1st Multimedia was alive and well long befor "MMX" next the internet is as slow as ever, all Intel did was fracture it see www.intelweboutfitter.com (but only if you are running an Intel P3 or P4, on a Microsoft OS)
also have a look at the 32 bit benchmarks for Merced, sorry, Itainim if you wanna see true Intel "Inovatoin"
first the P4 is slower then a P3 (yet costs more) then Merced is slower then a P1 75MHz (yet costs lots more!) whats next? a 128 bit chip thats slower then the origonial 8080??
