"good" will never win, nor will "evil", they will simply dance the forbiden dance forever. there will never be complete security, because there will always be somebody straying from the party line, and there will always be crime because our inner child always wants something. criminals are masters at playing off of this desire. actions are truly what differentiates an individual. intelligence (cia/fbi, and psycho/social) is truly amusing when one digs down into the muck.
thanks again, and again! i have been looking at this for a few weeks, and at this price... ring me up. very cool little machine. it will drive a 21" monitor, and can take a 40 gig drive. and sorry, but my son has an ibook with osx.
i could get any kind of service, $300 would be cheap. hell a t1 is a grand a month. remember, you get what you pay for, i just like to make sure that i actually get what i am paying for! nothing quite like spending several days to transfer a domain! add up those hours.

rise and shine sun/cobalt. cobalt seems to be their linux mechanism, and with dewitt leaving, one has to wonder what sun is up to with cobalt. especially, since they have not updated the cute little beggers in way too long. hello is anyone @home? sleepy time! i wnated to buy a few raq 5's with real processors (thanks, but i'll pass on the xtr, but maybe some sun 100s), but apple may actually have a rack mount out before sun/cobalt updates their machine. the breakfast of champions, web objects!
Top Ranks Are Thinned at Sun as No. 2 Executive Joins Exodus
By CHRIS GAITHER
AN FRANCISCO, May 1 -- Edward J. Zander, the gregarious executive who oversaw daily operations at Sun Microsystems, plans to retire on July 1, the company said today.
Mr. Zander, the No. 2 executive at Sun, a troubled computer maker, is the fourth prominent executive there to announce a retirement in recent weeks. A fifth manager, Stephen DeWitt, the vice president of an important business unit that leads Sun's efforts with the Linux operating system, quietly left Sun on Friday, the company confirmed today.
Investors showed their disappointment with Mr. Zander's departure. The stock plunged $1.21, or 14.8 percent, to $6.97, a low not seen since 1998. Mr. Zander, who is 55, was credited by many analysts as the driving force behind Sun's rapid ascension before the Internet bubble burst.
Sun, which makes high-powered computers and software for networks, will not immediately replace Mr. Zander as president and chief operating officer. Instead, Scott G. McNealy, Sun's chairman and chief executive, said he would assume the role of president on July 1, the beginning of Sun's next fiscal year.
"You've literally had the top three executives outside of McNealy resign within two weeks," said A. M. Sacconaghi Jr., an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Company. "It has to raise the same kinds of doubts that investors raised today among some customers."
Mr. Zander said he had decided to leave Sun last year but had wanted to wait until the company showed signs of emerging from a slump brought on by a slowdown in corporate spending and a sharp downturn in its main customer base, dot-coms.
In an interview, Mr. Zander, who joined Sun in 1987 from Apollo Computer, said his future plans were not set. But he did not rule out taking the helm of another company as early as next year. As it became clear that Mr. McNealy had no intention of leaving soon, Mr. Zander said, he realized that he would have to leave if he wanted to be a chief executive.
"That's not necessarily saying that I wanted to be C.E.O.," he said, "but I knew that Scott was going to be in control here. If I was going to experience something else in life, whatever that is, I had to move on, but I didn't want to move on until I felt the company was in a shape that was a lot better than a year ago."
In the last two weeks, three other top executives have announced their plans to leave the company on July 1. They include the chief financial officer, Michael E. Lehman; the executive vice president of Sun's computer systems business, John Shoemaker; and the head of Sun's enterprise services business, Larry Hambly.
Another executive, Mr. DeWitt, who resigned without a public announcement on Friday, had served as vice president of Sun's content delivery and edge computing division since Cobalt, the company he had led as chief executive, was acquired by Sun in September 2000. He had been viewed as an up-and-comer within Sun and was featured prominently at the company's meeting for Wall Street analysts in February.
In a conference call with the company, some Wall Street analysts criticized Sun officials for stringing them along with four separate announcements of the retirements. They also expressed concern that other retirement announcements would soon follow -- a fear that Mr. McNealy did not dispel during the call.
Mr. McNealy said several executives had wanted to retire last year but had decided to stay on through the end of this fiscal year to help the company through "the rough patch."
"The fiscal year is the right time to go do this thing," Mr. McNealy said. "I know it looks like a flurry here, but I think it's been positive and planned out."
While Sun's fortunes are tied heavily to the overall economy and the return of corporate spending on information-technology systems, Mr. McNealy said that Sun was in better shape than it had been in the last two years. Its losses of $37 million for its fiscal third quarter, which ended March 31, narrowed in spite of flat sales, and Sun said it expected to turn a profit in this quarter.
As the top field marshal for Mr. McNealy, Mr. Zander has been responsible for intensifying Sun's competition with International Business Machines in high-end computer systems that run networks and corporate data centers.
Laura Conigliaro, an analyst with Goldman, Sachs, said it was unclear how Sun would replace Mr. Zander's mixture of intelligence and deep understanding of the marketplace. Mr. Zander has been an effective foil for Mr. McNealy, the brash and visionary leader who sets Sun's strategy and has jousted on the public and legal stage with Microsoft for years.
"When you look around the computer industry, or even more broadly," she said, "it's hard to find the qualities that Ed Zander has brought to Sun."
and, while 1600x1200 is halfway decent, this is truly the monitor to lust after... the ibm t221 (http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/Pro ductDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&prmenbr=1&prnbr=9503DG1&cnt ry=840&lang=en_US). hey where' are the icons? oh, there! 3800x2800!
i am not entirely clueless, but i have better things to do than just play with stuff. i need to get paid--information designer... but, i like being able to configure routers, firewalls, switches, and program (c) once in a while. dividing by zero in cw on os 8 was bizarre. its just not my day job! and, there is plenty to learn, so its nice to have a machine that can do it all (i also don't like have a bunch of stuff sitting around).
here are acouple links with respect to the CELL processor. the ps2 processor is capable of 6.2 billion flops, while the ps3 will be capable of 1 trillion. yum.
http://www.sonyweb.com/news/0402/003.html?f=003. ht ml http://www.sonyweb.com/news/0102/120.html?f=12 0.ht ml
sony had to make compromises in the processor in order to meet a schedule. they were already way behind, and had to hit the holidays. shareholder value! the ps3 is to be what ps2 was supposed to be. who had that sig "i thought i thought, therefore i thought i was," nice! we'll see what's up with the ibm/sony/... partnership in a few years. a simple linux distribution with nice clean apps on such boxes will likely be the home computer in the furture...
the new stand is quite nifty if you haven't noticed it off on the side. remember the mac classics with 9" black and white screens and a refresh rate of a grandfather clock. talk about tired eyes, after sitting for half the night programming in hyperscript.
the new imac has sold well without the education market. this is a good move, and obviously planned for, since it takes quite a while to design a new machine. one cannot agree with many things that appl does, but you have to admit that they not only design but actually execute well. ideas are a dime a dozen unfortunately. btw, my sons g3 ibook with osx is rather speedy with only a 600/g3 and 256 meg of ram, and i have both a tibook and a dell 8500. there is really negligible difference in most applications, and i tend to get more actual work accomplished on the mac... but i would love a 1600 x 1200 on the tibook! nearly there.

i am not sure how they are making an advantage out of the code morphing, but the article states that it is a primary consideration.
