It COULD be that the cost of the printers you're buying has something to do with their useful life.
I had a conversation about toasters a little while ago that went the same way. Ya know - your parents toaster that they got when they were married still works, but you go through one every year or two?
Try spending 5x the money on a good toaster and see how long it lasts you.
That's a good idea, but will this break apps that expect to be on an HFS+ drive or those Apps that require to be in/Applications?
All I can say is that we've had no problems. Our NFS server is an HFS+ machine, so that may or may not make any difference. I would complain to the vendor if an app failed to work that way.
It took all of 10 seconds to use Apple Remote Desktop to copy the Application to 24 machines in the room.
Your admin should be shot.
You should have a/Network/Applications directory that mounts from a server (using NFS configured from netinfo) on all the clients. You should only have had to drop the.app in there and it would have taken 0 seconds.
We use XML-RPC and love it. Servers in Java and C++, clients in Java, C++, perl, VB?, dunno who all our clients are:-) It's not B2B, but when your company is >100K people, it might as well be (which is to say, there is often no cooperation or foreknowledge that some group will want access, which is part one the reasons XML-RPC is great).
No, but you might be committing trespass... depending on the context. There is an implied permission to enter your property for certain purposes. For example, someone is allowed to go up to your front door and ring the doorbell.
Unless you put up a fence and sign saying "No trespassing."
This applies unless you make it clear that you have withdrawn it.
Right.
I wouldn't be prepared to make a guess as to the legalities of turning a care in someone elses driveway... in your jurisdiction.
Generally illegal - but still OK.
Odds are they don't know, but they would care if they did know. In fact, they'd probably be extremely annoyed, and (if they thought about it) rather scared.
They've set up a trasceiver. They use it remotely. The idea SHOULD have crossed their minds that others could, too. I'm betting that they just don't care. You're right - maybe they should - but maybe/.'ers are too paranoid.
Come on by. Use some bandwidth. Fine with me. If I cared, I'd WEP it. If I really cared, I'd WEP and MAC address lockout. If I really really cared, I'd only allow it single port access to a server with a VPN, then nobody could get through but me (in theory, anyway).
If your neighbor is playing good music loudly, and you open your window and enjoy it, are you stealing (OK, no RIA comments, please:-).
If you use someone's driveway to help turn around, are you stealing?
I don't think so. If you reall feel bad, go back, figure out whose it is, and tell them it's open. Odds are they don't know and/or don't care.
Here is the reality: flying into San Jose is a HELL of a lot cheaper than flying into SFO. Dunno about the hotel room, but think of the 100-200$ your saving as you're riding the train from San Jose to San Fran...
(I commute out of SFO every other week, and it pisses me off every time)
Don't forget to mention that it only runs on closed source proprietary hardware!
I'm pretty sure that neither Intel, AMD, IBM, nor SUN give away blueprints for their chips. The only reason you get the choice of whose chips you run on for PC clones is because the X86 architecture is so old and backward compatible that it has been reverse engineered. I think you can pretty much kiss those days goodbye with the onset of 64bit machines. That is, Win64i will only run on 64bit Intel hardware, and Win64a will only run on 64bit AMD hardware.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please...
Oh, and it probably does run on Intel hardware (OSX, that is), Apple just doesn't ship it. Certainly Darwin does...
We have grinder in the office, and if I end up doing too much more SQL work, myself, I'll probably grab a copy. Right now I use DBVis, which is a nice free product. Both have their pros and cons, and neither is TOAD, but if you don't want to fire up (or buy) VPC, they may be good enough.
How is "Don't remove this placard if under 18" any different from "Don't click here if under 18" ?? They're both the honor system.
That's an excellent example. Let's look at it: The porn mag is in a public place. There is some amount of public pressure for youths NOT to look at porn (in public). If you don't think so, consider how much more porn is viewed in the private of the internet vs. the public of the magazine shop. The owner of the store with the porn mag is financially responsible. If they let youths view the mags, they can be found guilty of (insert your decency law here) and fined/jailed. [so, no, the placard is not "just the honor system" - it is a legal barrier the proprieter needs to keep from getting fined/jailed] In most areas, porn mags are limited in what they can show. Some places more than others. Not so, the internet - one browser gets you whatever you want. Porn mags do not arrive, uninvited, in your mail. If they did, the senders would be fined/jailed.
They can both be enforced by the watchful eye of a responsible adult, and they can both be defeated by the absence of such supervision.
If, by that, you mean that neither can be enforced except by an adult that never leaves their children's side, then I guess you're right. If you mean anything else, I guess you're wrong.
My appologies to all of the Apple fans out there, but what you're running is in the same field as Linux, and to a limited extent Plan9, but not really a UNIX (damned trademarks).
Hrm. Except that OSX is Unix(tm) - not that I care much. If anyone asks me what the difference between linux and unix is, I say that linux is unix (no, I don't care to argue that in this forum).
But more about your comment - OK, it's not a traditional unix kernel, but that's never been unix to me. Unix has always been being able to/bin/ls/etc And all those other groovy unix commands...
Really, if you ssh to an OSX machine, it feels just like any BSD Unix (with extras) except for how some of the config stuff works.
Seriously tho, IBM says nothing for linux to fear but FUD itself (literally). Caldera/SCO dropped every single ball they've EVER been thrown, so much so that every thread ever started or ended here is basically a litanny of their mistakes. Sun makes UNIX, they're still alive, IBM still makes AIX, they're certainly alive, poor SCO is dead in the water so they sue.
You forgot to mention that new upstart Unix company: Apple. I think it's funny that Apple is now the #1 desktop unix. Come to think of it - why isn't SCO suing them? I'm sure Apple is helping the BSD crowd, and that's gotta be unfair to SCO somehow, right?
I bought mine - kept it long enough that it was worth the price, AND they replaced it for me for free once. It helps that I bought it from the ISP, and that they are municipally owned, I guess...

No, your admin should be shot for deciding to use such a horribly insecure system as NFS.
Substitute your favorite network filesystem here.
But, really, for a read only filesystem, I'd think NFS would be fine.
No, I don't need a lecture on the shortcomings of NFS - I really don't care. I only use it in secure LANs, anyway.
I'd be curious to know if it works. Please let me know.

Yes, shot. That seems an appropriate level of punishment. Not at all exaggerated. Someone get the shotgun.

I regretted deeply that I didn't walk out on that movie within 10 minutes.

Provided you will only do that
make; make installl
once in a year or so, i dont think there is much
of a problem not having a "real" binary jdk.
N*M, where N is the number of machines I have, and M is the number of FreeBSD + Java updates in a year. That is not acceptible.
In the meantime dont get used to be afraid
of compilations, since
- you might forget how to recompile your lovely linux kernel
I get no joy from building kernels, and FreeBSD wants me to do this too often already.
- even worse you might start considering MSoft.
Actually, I'm migrating toward OSX...
No way. /. Frickin' hates Unix Based OSes that run X11.
Especially when they're based on an open system based on BSD, that ship with gcc, perl, python, Java, and apache
Sigh.
Wake me when they ship a modern JDK. No, not a buildable patchwork from sources, patches, and linux emulation bootstrapping - a real binary JDK.
PS -> If it's platform independant, why is this in the mac section?
'Cause Apple is selling it?
I'm guessing that it is a WebObjects App/suite...
SQLGrinder
or (free)
DBVisualizer

I believe this is actually to be the basis for a binary release, which was announced about 2 years ago.
Frankly, I'll believe it when I see it.
Because my girlfriend forces me (and thank goodness), I always print a copy of the return - which she then files.
I did the online thing (turbotax.com). They do a good job - I won't buy their local version, but I'm happy to support their online version.
