No matter how you cut the vulnerabilities in Win2K3 some of the vulnerabilities are definitely part of IIS 6.0. However I don't believe for a second that Microsoft is reporting all security problems, such as this problem that M$ still hasn't acknowledged.
The Apache group is much more forthcoming about security problems and I don't trust Windows as a server platform.
There is a replacement firmware that lets you use C++ compiled binaries BrickOS. works well, I'm about to re-release a web interface for BrickOS. The old LegOS compiler is Here.
You may want to wait until Apple ships one with an ATI chipset. You have no chance of getting accelerated 3D with an Nvidia chipset under Linux PPC while with a bit of work you can get most ATI chipsets working with DRI.
besides, it's rarely a good idea to buy the 1st revision of any product.
and if you go to the site that link was supposed to go to DemocracyInAction.org you are taken to a campaigning spammer tool. I think whoever did this picked that tool.
I know I sure $#%^$ing hate the campaign spam I've been getting.
MythTV actually handles this gracefully with a background transcoder, it eats basically only eats CPU time that would be idle and on these kind of machines that can be a lot.
I think it's a very decent price, you added a wifi card which is silly, and they say you can stick your own HDs in it(with 2 spare spaces yet). For the time and money that goes into building a MythTV box I'd say this is a great price.
As far as I know it's the only commercial PVR that uses MPEG4 so you get several times the video per meg vs. any other commercial PVR. I'd buy one if I didn't already have my MythTV box.
I basically agree with you, butIF this Emulator turns out to be as good as a regular PC, it will be the first time a fast cheap PC emulator was available for the Mac. Most of the hardware solutions were more expensive than buying a whole PC and software solutions were(are) dog slow.
Anyhoo, what I was really trying to say was that if an excellent Windows emulator is ever available for the Mac, it will change Apple's postion dramatically. It would probably boost their market share in the short term, but I think it will hurt the Mac platform in the longterm(less major native apps, more expensive, relying on M$ to keep updating VPC).
" Their(Apple's) current strategy is to stay out of MS's range by remaining incompatible with PCs "
This could change now that Microsoft owns Virtual PC, M$ could:
Accelerate DirectX via OpenGL(but still leave out Windows OpenGL support)
rewrite or just recompile a bunch of DLLs so they run natively (like DarWine)
If Windows XP ran as well under OSX as it did on a PC then Mircosoft will sell a Heck of a lot more coppies and also kill off a lot of Mac ports.

It seems ATI's Linux drivers support stereo, and you can always buy a driver from XIG with stereo support for almost any ATI card. You also have VRizer which will take many Linux OpenGL games and add stereoscopic support(Neverball in a Cave has to be great!). I do believe Windows users are SOL though.
Also,has anyone ever used a Synthagram monitor? The adverts make them look awesome, and it's only $500 more than this one.
Oh, to make a screensaver into a background you can use BackLight, it's the nicest app of it's kind and it works with 10.3. You would still need to make EtherPEG into a screensaver, but documentation to do that is pretty easy to find.
Opps, I worded that poorly, the "this tool" I was refering to was the wireless packet injection tool.
I should have written:
I doubt this wireless packet injection tool will make it's way to OSX anytime soon, but OSX(and OS9) has EtherPEG. When I run it in my dorm I get a nice porn collage.
I have the Belkin 802.11b USB adapter and it has official drivers from Belkin for Mac and the chipset manufacture has good Linux drivers. It has REALLY excellent range, it can pull in just about anything my Cisco 350 card can.Also, the airport cards all support a promiscuous mode, so you can always use them to scan.

I hadn't thought about fragmentation, but seeing as a DVD needs to spin at under 1X to read actual DVDs and burners are up to 8x it shouldn't be that big of a problem with decent caches. If people started having problems with fragmentation they could always blank the DVD.
But TiVo(and others) already have PVRs with HDs and DVD-RW drives. DVD+RW(Idon't know about DVD-RW) has a mode known as Random Write, which basically lets you put the drive into a mode were it acts like a HD.
Blank DVDs are getting REALLY cheap now, a DVD-RW only system would appeal to people who archive stuff.
On that note, Sony has said that they will probably put out a version of the PS3 that is a PVR. They could make a PVR that ran completely off BR-RW disks and forgo a HD. I'm wondering why nobody has made a PVR that runs off DVD-RWs?
I sure hope you are right but I think it's going to take something much bigger than a belated OS update to crack M$'s monopoly. I am more hopeful that the next console war could bring about some change.
The Dell Inspirion 8000 series can use 2 batteries with an optical drive. A lot of laptops with modular bays will take an extra battery, but you usually lose your CD-ROM.
You have pobably already checked out Opengroupware, it has a very decent calendar system.
Squirrel Mail is often overlooked, it's plugins give it shared calendars with (some) outlook compatability, todo lists, and tons of other stuff. The calendaring system is very simplistic ( no auto-repeat of an event, events are limited to 6 hour intervals ), but depending on what you use it for, it's very nice.
Wait, I'm still confused, did the deal include wired.com? It doesn't seem to, but the top of the article at wired.com you link to has the lycos network crap at the top of it.
I can't fault Epox too much for faulty caps, but I will probably stick with ASUS boards for the next few years, I noramlly buy only ASUS but the Epox board was sooo much cheaper I took a risk.
I forgot to mention that I had some weird stability issues when I first bought this board, but a bios update about a year ago fixed all my issues.
I just had some caps pop on my Epox 8RDA+ nforce2 based board. That's not really a sign of a problem with Nforce2 chipsets as much as Epox's bad luck selecting compenent suppliers. Anyway, hopefully my replacement board will get here from NewEgg soon.
While the Karma is the best bang for the buck, it's not cheaper(both the iPod and Karma are $299), it's just barely smaller (2.4" * 4.1" * 5.7" = 5.6088" vs 2.7" * 3" *.7"= 5.67"). (I think) neither player has an official S/N ratio from their company, but most reviewers estimate them to have the same 95dB+, anyway they both sound great and have excellent amps.
The reasons to buy a Karma are for it's signifigantly better battery(15 vs 12 hours) and that it's interface is about on par with the iPod (although it's very different).
The hack seems like it should be able to be done with only an iPod and Griffin's remote thingy. You can record audio into 3rd gen iPods directly, you even record into the left earbud(channel) and the article says you need to mute the right channel.
Anyone got a 3rd gen iPod to try this? I have a 2nd gen.

I can't wait until Tritium-D power modules are cheap enough for my laptop.
I've thought about making my own but radioactive stuff is hard to find...

My Goodness! that should be a card! Although I sadly don't know how I could use it...
