If they wanted to know what teens liked, they could have started with focus groups before even launching the site....it would have been far less expensive and would have told them ahead of time that teens want freedom not the ghost of Sam Walton urging them to be a hubster.
I ran NeoOffice as the MS Office replacement for about 50 Macs in an art dept. For people who only need Word and Excel a few times a week, it's not bad. I use it personally on OS X because it works well. The users do not have a problem with the looks, because it resembles (good or bad) Office. Never had a problem crashing or flaking out....(now ask me about Thunderbird on OS X, connecting to Exchange and that's a different story)
I personally wouldn't add anything to the OO ad about OS X, because it's not officially an OO project. The only thing I would add, would be professional design. Let designers design and programmers program. Find someone professional to design the ad.
2gb dimms are shipping, I just purchased some for my G5 Xserve. Yeah, I thought the same thing, the G5 PowerMacs hold 8gb (prob. more now since the 2gb are shipping) with 8 slots. We're using the hell out of those on my graphic designers' boxes.
If you're recording, why not really try to separate the vocals from anything else you're doing. I think someone on here mentioned using the shower for your vocals, but build a small partition out of plexi, like one of those sound shields in Musicians' Friend. Get a mike cord long enough to reach your mixer and you should be set.
I had a client who purchased two machines: an emachine and a little HP. Both within about 50mhz of each other. Crack open both cases, and they have the same seagate hd, intel mb, intel chip, memory, etc. The same parts with about a $200 difference.
They're not the best of machines, but they're using the same parts as the big guys, so they're not as bad quality as people believe.
What you don't realize is that many hospitals in the US have to take patients reguardless of their ability to pay. They're called "Safety Net Hospitals". There are hospitals that give millions upon millions of care to the people who need it. They have to write it off as a loss, since there is not full goverment reimbursement for many of the procedures.
A sick child will almost always get an operation, because of the need. St Jude, CMT, and many orgs provide funds and hospitals like what I'm talking about *have* to provide care.
What I'm wondering about is why Data General is never mentioned when talking about NUMA. When first introduced, DG and Sequent had NUMA systems. IBM gobbled up Sequent and now they're sued.
Could a DG engineer have used the NUMA architecture and be responsible for the code "leak"? Then again, IBM has the money and DG is dust since the EMC takeover.
If you test under multiple enviroments, Linux and the various Windows, it gets cramped under a desk with all of those PCs. I use VirtualPC so I can test websites under all of the Windows and a few Linuxs without a kvm and the extra floor space.
I have a nice G4 with lots of memory, so the PCs work decent. And if I need to test a variant of one of my test PCs, it's easer to clone a PC image, than setup another machine.
I'm really OS agnostic.....I'll use anything to get my job done. But the Mac just is my preference.
I got a mac, because it's what works for me. I design websites and test them under VirtualPC with Windows 98 & XP along with Linux. Why should I have to buy three boxes to do what some $200 piece of software can do?
It's a big hassle to have three boxes under a desk, just to test a website. The cost justifcation isn't there, once you add kvms, and additional PCs.
Sorry, not a linux geek here. Just get sick of having people posted online as someone great. Wow, you mean you're going for a PhD...let me kiss your feet. Nothing but sheep here online. Just follow your masters, jackass.
cost too much? $799 for an iBook with OS X. What's expensive about that? Get a used WallStreet for cheap and install OS X. It's not like you have to use a new machine for the OS to run.
I'm up front with my clients, and have to be, since they're the only advertising I use. The price difference, is mainly people taking way too long, doing things like installing network cards and such. It's not a hard thing to do, so why should a $20 card with a manual and drivers, take three hours to install? Why should a basic html template for a small business cost $1k? I've been doing this for 6 years, mainly as a side job, and this has never popped up.
If I needed to bid on a job, I would give them a fair price, but also include my portfolio and references. That down payment in honesty is good, but I also expect a potential client to perform "due diligence" and contact my clients. "Don't take my word for it, call my clients".
'3. Charge fair, but on the high end. If you charge too cheap, the PHBs think that you aren't skilled "
I charge about 50% less, simply because I don't have the overhead of my competitors. Most, if not all, of my clients dropped their previous service when they realized that they got better quality, cheaper, than others who were out to gouge.
Because it's a fucking joke! P.O.S....get it? Piece Of Shit? Name the OS after the one letter unavailable on the system. Jesus, watch Jackass for your doctorate, ok?
When Apple was looking at moving from the 68k to the PowerPC, people were hesitant about moving, since a lot of groups used older software. There was a lot of resentment toward Apple at the time. A lot of people looked at changing the Mac's backbone in the middle of the win-mac war, as suicide.

accessibility doesn't mean, disability. It means access to any and everyone reguardless of browsers, computers, or physical aspects.

Try Photostack instead. It's easier to setup than Gallery and you don't need a database, just PHP.

Who are you? And why should I care? I mean, it's one thing to be a music promoter, but are you known outside of your region?

I'd name it P.O.S.
You can read the timeline here. It's an IBM chip.
yeah, that's great an all, but what about the secretary who doesn't know anything about why this browser doesn't work?
Mozilla needs to have something other than a hack for the average person to get onto the web.
Windows 9x can't use this, neither can Linux or OS X. XP, NT, & 2k are the only supported with this release. still nothing works. as it should, after three years
Kinda...sorta
