Previous versions of Virtual PC could run most Linux distros. MS has since bought the product from Connectix and released a new version. Im not certain in Linux is still supported.
Well... XMLSPY is one choice. The enterprise edition comes with "Sylesheet Designer" (which has since been renamed "stylevision" me thinks) in the last update. It is supposed to be a WYSIWYG editor which includes tags to your xml schema. My experience is with stylesheet designer...its buggy, it takes lots of tweaking, but again its a helluva lot better than doing it by hand.
First: I recognise that its a real pain to be away from the computer while trying to do any sort of tracks. You end up going back and forth. Truth be told, this is the best solution though. Try setting small section "punch ins" so that you can keep at a section until your happy and move the mic to a different room. Use of omni directional mics will also help.
Second. Baffles are cheap and they work great. Any good studio will have lots of free standing cubicle walls hanging around. You can pick these up for a song at any used office store. Then, either box in your CPU or your mic. The more baffles, the quieter the sound.
... and I am still waiting for my check since the introduction of tax on blank media. Lets just say I won't be holding my breath for a cheque if this absurd business sees the light of day.
Shame on you SOCAN! You take a piece of my royalty pie every month and spend it on THIS? Its bad enough that you spend it on that crap "words and music" magazine I throw out unread each month.
If you are truly working for the artist... you best check with us where your energies are best spent. How about a better international system so that I don't get royalty checks from German spins of my stuff 18 months after the fact. Shees!
Seriously... its been touched on but its a very important point. Users are the weakest link in any system. To ignore this element and the way cracker commonly exploit it, is to skew your research from the get go.
I run Jaguar on my B&W G3 (a petite 400Mhz) and it runs great! It's particularly fast with Mail, Safari, iTunes and iTMS. The only thing I've upgraded is graphics card and only to a cheap Radeon 7500. Word on the street is that Panther is even quicker.
Bah...you call that impressive?? We run the developers preview of panther on an Apple IIe, with a raid of floppy drives, as our primary webserver with a 2800 baud modem and it works just great.;-)
Ok. Its a drum on the side panel. On the front from the left...a keyboard, then a cello. From the right we have a clarinet and then an electric guitar. What is that thing in the middle??
My experience is that this is a matter of project management. Someone has to be recognized and empowered by management to do the following essential tasks:
1)understand the skills of each team member 2)break up and assign the project according to skill sets and get people the mentoring they need. 3)understand dependancies 4)build in accountability and enforce it 5)Manage the cycle of development
Serveral of the "security agencies" in Canada offer courses which are fairly strong overviews. The RCMP technical security branch offers a number of workshops for free. I have taken the 4 day IT security officer and 1 day malacious code course and both were very good overviews.
The Communications Security Establishement (Canada's NSA) offers a number of courses quite cheap. This is a good place to start and often provide a wealth of resources for additional learning. I would look into whether the same exist in your country...
SANS reading room boasts 1300 research papers. Here are some other places for reading off the top of my head:
I have noticed the slowdown since puchasing a new G4 with OSX. I have also noticed a beautiful interface, a terminal window allowing me under the hood and a slew of new software for both OSX and Darwin. I'd say apple got right the stuff they wouldnt be able to fix later and the rest will follow. I, for one, have no complaints (OmniWeb is quite impressive btw). If web browsing is what you want the machine for, here is a solution:
1) Restart in OS9 2) Stay there for the next 18-24 months
I recall when reading Dancing Naked in the Mind Field by Nobel Prize winning scientist Kerry Mullis that he referred to Global Warming as bunk.
While looking for some more info on his thoughts on the subject i stumbled on the Global Warming Petition project which states:
"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide,methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."
While I am not a scientist...a good deal of the massive number of signatures collected have some pretty impressive letters after them. The ranks include the distinguished Dr. Mullis.
I too went down the road of the Mac/Linux dual boot box. For me it was LinuxPPC...basically a rework of Redhat.
Once I had it running, I was truly satisfied with my accomplishment (its no small feat, so kudos).
Certainly in the documentation with LinuxPPC, it was noted that software for intel boxes was not going to run on my LinuxPPC box unless it had be ported to do so. Has this changed???
All in all Linux lasted about 5 days on my Mac. I went and scooped a cheap PII and everything worked out of the box.
IMO the community of people interested in running Linux on Mac hardware is too small to have the kind of work, support and stability seen on other hardware. With the release of OSX, this will only get more true.
Seeing as McLoud is not the first person to ever think of this scheme, as an artist and dreamer I add my own thoughts:
Micropayments become a more realistic concept with the creation of an "internet currency" for this exact purpose. That way, your not racking up $.05 transactions on your credit card. You purchase $20.00 worth of "edollars" and pay a small handling charge to a 3rd party company.
You buy a song, a comic strip, some shareware (or whatever it would be renamed) etc. and the transaction happens in realtime and your balance is updated.
As both Tycho and Scott have pointed out that micropayments (as discribed by McLoud and now me) do not currently exist. Why, then, is everyone so very certain that they will not work. It is a risky business, but I believe that some clever, daring soul might make a splash with it.
Steve. My hat is off to you. You walked a very fine line with: respect, grace and (classic definition) hacker motives. I think that under the circumstance all the player and the community at large can learn something large from this. Steve has pointed out, quite correctly, that wicked is to be f3ar3d, because.... wicked did it. With the release of Unix-like TCP/IP....how many wicked will appear?

Er...
isn't this old news considering blizzard games and battlenet. Granted, its game consoles rather than actual boxes but given that lots of people on battlenet are on high speed conections, I think this has been around for a bit.

No no no....
the airport card goes into the PCMCIA slot just like any other card. If it does not fit, you should fold it then insert it.
1) Embed Toynbee tiles in streets around the world
2) ??
3) Profit!!
this looks like a neat product from the University of British Columbia. Been meaning to try it but haven't yet. Screen shots look nice.

Aha! Makes sense now. Thanks, that would have driven me bonkers. All I kept thinking was...wow, thats one screwed up banjo!

...thus...the foot icon and the dept. its from.
People who have something to hide or wish to have thier privacy respected (or really dig pr0n) would never opt in. Those that don't...might.
so whats the point here?

an article on the subject of apple and mice at

Winn Shwartau is the guru of this stuff. He wrote two books on the subject: "Information Warfare" and "Cybershock" touting very much the same stuff.
Planes knocked out of the sky by HERF guns, the stock exchange being brought down. Your toaster being hacked, etc.
A bit of truth, a bit of science fiction and a bit of sensationalism. Both make for fun reading if taken with a grain of salt.
