I don't understand how it's Apple's fault that the authors of the software you want to use choose to only support 10.5. I understand why they would, as Leopard has some pretty nice upgrades for developers, but Apple certainly doesn't mandate that they do so.
If you hit F8, you get a zoomed out view of all of your desktops, with live previews of the windows on them included. You can drag and drop windows between spaces in this view, as well, if you like.
Sure, it provides some background about her, but that background was evident in the article. There's no reason to mention it with two quotation marks (implying disbelief) in your reply if your intent is simply to provide relevant background information.
Also, aside from the fact that you apparently have the special Slashdot "find out the sexual orientation of those moderating me" feature that the rest of us seem to lack, I'm not sure what connection being gay and having a particular stance on file sharing and on Apple have. Would you feel compelled to make a similar comment if she were black or Jewish, for example?
You're right -- Chris Sells is indicating that the goal is to support Win32 and existing.NET code, not that it will be definitively supported.
Historically, though, Microsoft's legacy application support has been quite good -- it's possible, for example, to run 16-bit DOS programs on Windows XP!
Will my existing Win32 and.NET apps continue to run under Longhorn without modification?
The goal is that apps written against the documented Win32 APIs and the.NET Framework will absolutely run well without any modifications under Longhorn when it ships.
I've been using the release build of Panther for a while, now, and, while I think it's a worthwhile upgrade, I strongly recommend not enabling FileVault.
I enabled it on my new 15" Aluminum PowerBook on Sunday and was seeing serious corruption of my files by Tuesday. My keychain was corrupted, my iTunes library metadata file was corrupted, my preferences were corrupted, and some of my Data Structures and Algorithms Java source files were corrupted. Beyond that, I stopped counting, backed up to my iPod, and reinstalled.
To be fair, this isn't a build I obtained from Apple or a retail store, so it's possible that it's not what's in the box (although the about box indicates build 7B85, and, from what I can tell, that's GM). It might be worth letting other early adopters check out the retail version of FileVault, however, before doing so yourself.
Although I can't show you an iCluster of these particular models, perhaps you'll be satisfied with Carnegie Mellon's Habermann Labs (warning: QuickTime VR movie), which consist entirely of old-sunflower-model 15" iMacs.
Uh, just to clarify -- I meant, "Apple has released all of their improvements to GPL'd code that they've released in binary form." Sorry for any confusion and havoc caused due do my general semi-coherent weekend state.
As far as I know, Apple hasreleased all of the improvements to the GPL'd code that they've released. The code they've written from scratch, they're keeping closed, as is their right.
While the Internet Book List looks like it might eventually become a worthwhile alternative data source to Amazon.com, I've been using All Consuming for a little while and find it to be an exceedingly useful resource for book information.
While it does use Amazon data (the merits of which are discussed in other replies to this article), All Consuming provides a clean interface and metainformation to the base data, as well as nifty features like weblog scanning (to find mentions of books), the ability to track a book collection, and a "friends" network that keeps one up-to-date with other members' various literary excursions.
For what one family member does with his G4 the SMP support is extremely helpful in terms of raw performance, but you've got to look at your applications and see if they exploit SMP. If you're writing your own code you can obviously make it support SMP, but you didn't really say what you were doing.
As far as I know, SMP support in OS X occurs at the kernel level. Sure, applications can make better use of SMP capability (if it's available) by being multithreaded, but the OS will balance the running processes between both processors automatically even if the currently running applications aren't multithreaded.
I don't think placing two buildings that no longer exist into a simulation of the city that once contained them is a good way of building a simulation that is as accurate as possible.
Slashdot Mirror
It's not Crestron Mobile (iTunes Store link), is it? Because, if so, congratulations; it looks like you've passed Apple's inspection.

If this is true, apparently Evan Williams (Twitter's founder) hasn't heard about it.
If you hit F8, you get a zoomed out view of all of your desktops, with live previews of the windows on them included. You can drag and drop windows between spaces in this view, as well, if you like.
Why not write an open-source iTunes competitor that's not too shabby, then?
Yes, because, clearly, it makes business sense to ensure that your end-user product runs on every server operating system you use.

Going to the Safari preferences, selecting the "AutoFill" section, and unchecking "Other forms" should alleviate your problem.
The Safari problem, that is. As for the other one, might I suggest something from the fine line of Gold Bond products?

I did see the code, and the apple_g5_powerbook line was in it.
I can confirm that, as of Wed Oct 29 21:47:03 EST 2003, it's still running well at CMU :-)
You can download a Virtual PC 2004 trial from Microsoft? All I see is a trial for version 5.2.

Right, except that the Bubba Ho-Tep number is 310-228-3665. 310-338-3665 has been disconnected, and I'll posit a teleslashdotting as the cause.

I'm sure "evand" and "esd" are scattered throughout it; the letters just aren't necessarily consecutive.

As I put it on my weblog: "If you read, join All Consuming."
Or, more easily (in Finder's icon view mode):
