ARD uses VNC for remote desktop administration. VNC server takes no time at all to enable on your machine. It is simply an option in the control panel.
They get paid for every windows terminal services license that is sold. And then some people install Citrix on top of Terminal Services (you need both).
Even that can cause problems, I heard that pregant women can have some of the babies blood in there blood stream (which would be half theirs half their husband/milkmans dna).
I beleive that it is required as covered in this part of the GPL, I admit you don't have to agree to it, but it does have to be shown, plus installer templates already have this page setup:-)

It is one thing really bugs me about my PC at work, especially compared to the mac at home. It is very very rare that a macosx will bring itself in front of other.
There are two things that bug:
The biggest culprit for me is Citrix, I beleive that whenever an app in the citrix window asks to be brought to the front, then citrix brings itself to the front on my computer. Now when I run several different citrix sessions (admin/dev/support) this drives me nuts, especially when I am trying to resolve the problem by looking at something on my PC and also on the remote system.
The other time that it is annoying is when you are starting multiple apps. Each app take 3~5 second to lanuch and in that time I might start 4 or 5 apps, each app will then bring themselves to the front of the screen, slowest app winning. The mac doesn't do this, so when I start a bunch of apps (especially easy with the dock) I can start 10 apps and then click on Safari (browser) and I know that once I see the safari window on the screen no other app is going to push its way to the front.
When the powerbooks first got touchpads they had the feature of being able to skip across the screen like that. Have a look at the details page for the powerbook and there is a little animation.
The only thing will be that HP mentioned doesn't have anywhere to put the GeForce 6600GT (no AGP Slot). You could always tape it to the front for the case to look at the purdy colors of the GPU.
Not a dinosaur herder but I have heard of big iron systems being shutdown, especially when you set you clocks back so you go over the same time period twice, as most big iron runs batch jobs that start at certain times, and rely on time stamps of file used in the processing.
Unfortunately the goverments in these countries are unable to pay for all the infrastructure etc that is needed.
The people in the IT sectors are making money for countries like India. The Indian government has put a lot of money into educating people and now the Indian IT sector is taking off. This will bring money into India and from those taxes generate revenue for the govt to pay for infrastructure etc. With a global economy Indian business men are just taking advantage of supply and demand, at present the supply side of things (heaps of people in India with IT skills) is larger than the demand (companies wanting to outsource) and therefore the price is dirt cheap.
You saw the same thing with steel and cars. I remember when if you were looking at cheap/crap electronics you could be guarenteed that it came from Taiwan. Over time the reputation of Taiwan has improved and higher value goods are being produced there. Cheap electronics now typically come from China. Same thing happened with cars and Japan. I would like to see the look on a car sales person face in 1980 if you told them that Japan would be producing some of the top of the line cars, and that Toyota and Honda would both have Formula 1 and Indy cars.
I find in Australia that I am pretty sure all of the demo and refurbed macs are sold through one of the mac dealers as a clearance sale. One dealer has about ten times the amount of demo models compared to any other dealer. Might be worth looking around for.
I thought all the CRT iMacs had a little trap door in their bum that gave you access to the Ram. I know the DV models had this.
Now hard drive replacements were a major bitch (they lived under the CD drive at the front and there was a fair bit of stuff to pull out before you could get to it.
The iMac is only capable of 2gb of ram. I don't beleive that the G5 has more registers in 64 bit mode like the Athlon does to make things run faster. Therefore the difference between g4 and g5 at the same clock speed isn't as great as the difference between an Athlon XP and Athlon 64 as you are getting a swag of extra registers as well.
When I took my Mac away from home (Beige g3 at the time) Dad needed a new computer and couldn't face going back to the LC475.
I worked out the deal for him, iMac (G3 600 DV), printer, some software. While I was at work he went a picked it all up. When I got home that night he had set up the machine, installed MS Office (it is simply drag this folder to your hd for MacOS), was printing stuff without a problem. He then asked what needed to be done to the machine, the only thing needed to be done was pop the ram in (bought ram from a PC Shop instead of the original shop).
The same thing when Mum got a digital camera. The only difficult thing was finding where the cable went on the camera and what mode to set the camera in. After that you just open iPhoto and away you go. Again simple easy and no hassles if you are just using it for run of the mill stuff.
In all it is a brilliant initial experience for someone who has only limited computer skills.
While not the server itself MMC (MS Management Console) relies on IE. So even if the server still works you wouldn't be able to admin from that machine. Yes I realise you could remote admin.
This is were brand recognition gets you sales. Especially the top people in organisations love Outlook because it syncs with their expensive phones/pdas. So when the CEO asks the head of IT "why aren't we using outlook" guess what the result is.
It is the same with MP3 players. Look at the thousands of MP3 players out there and then look at the number of people with iPods. Ask people (non geeks) about MP3 players and most people will nearly always say 'oh you mean an iPod'.
This is exactly what the people who write MySQL do. That is why you don't see the MySQL project being developed by many outside developers. It is all done in house and paid for by people who want commercial licenses.
I didn't buy the scanner, my Dad did. He bought one that worked with his current setup (OS9 this was in 2002) and MacOSX was out at the time and *all* of HP's scanner drivers were stated as drivers for MacOSX were in development. At that stage there were very few MacOSX drivers and neither the Epson or HP scanners that Dad was looking at had drivers (he wanted a mid price with transparency adaptor).
I sort of assumed that HP would forfill there promise that they would make their drivers available. And for that reason I will not buy HP products again.
My Dad has a 2 year old HP Scanner that he has hooked up to his iMac. Any chance of MacOSX drivers (even though it was being sold when MacOSX was released) nope, even though they promised them for a damn long time.
Supposedly the printer is USB but instead of putting a USB interface into the printer all they did is stuck a USB-->Parallel converter in the scanner. The problem with this is that because of the complicated usb-->parallel problems no one else (such as the guys who write Vuescan) can write drivers either.
Don't expect any support/drivers for the machine once the product is off the shelves.
Motorola (Freescale) have already announced that they have announced that they will have dual core g4s available this autumn (I assume as engineering samples).
They are aiming this at Mac Notebooks.
I beleive IBM have already planned a roadmap for the g5 that includes dual core.

I deceptively mask my email by having 1 or 2 real emails and thousands of spam emails.
But with Vista there will be the 7 user based OSs and then the 3 or so Server OSs. Therefore you will end up with 10+ versions of the OS.

A very nice little money earner if you ask me.

It is more like mouse gestures for your trackpad.

It is prosco.net not prosco.com which seems to be owned by a hosting company.

I think we should at least give it a try :-)
Can we ban school kids in public as well they are both extremely noisy and annoying, plus they often smell!
It is Pro Bono, pro boner is a what a male porn star calls his tool of the trade.

Plus you need to build a different machine for each part of the world that has different standards.
After that people will want cable and digital hookups etc etc etc. It easier to allow people to buy the firewire or usb tv tuners of choice.
