You're not the only one. That's something I looked at very carefully when I bought my 14" G4 iBook. At 1024 x 768 the actual pixel size was not much smaller than on the 19" LCD 1280 x 1024 monitor I use with my desktop computers.
Keratoconus sucks.
SCTP has reasonable congestion behavior, like TCP, so it's an improvement over UDP-based protocols in that regard. Moving some UDP-based protocols to SCTP could be a step up. That's where it could be most useful. It might make sense to put remote procedure call type protocols that now use UDP onto SCTP. If a protocol has to do retransmission, it's better to do it at the transport layer than at the application layer.
It would have been nice if SCTP would have been widely available when we were designing protocols for a new seismic recording system back in 1998. We ended up using two UDP ports at each end, one for control and one for data. Each one uses a header on top of UDP that provides 32bit CRC over the header and payload as well as 16 bit packet sequence/acknowledge values and packet subtype information. Data is in a sliding window of up to 128 packets with selective acknowledgements coming back from the receiver. Sounds like we could have gotten similar features with one SCTP connection.
Mac OS X print drivers
That's seems pretty important, especially for schematics.
Installation is a breeze if you follow the steps in the readme
I did. It complained about something missing when I tried to run it. Typical Linux based program. If they expect me to pay $400 to replace my old Tango that I already paid for, they have to do better. But I doubt they care.
Note that the OS X version of Eagle really isn't professional grade. It is downloaded as a "tgz" file instead of a disk image and requires X11 to operate. It's basically a half-hearthed conversion of a Linux version.
While I was using 4004's at work I bought a $300 6800 kit from Motorola that included the CPU, a parallel port, a UART, and some support chips. I wire-wrapped those parts together with I think either 16 or 32 2102 RAM chips. It had a set of toggle switches on the front so you could program the battery backed up RAM with a bootloader that could read the hand assembled programs from cassette tape. I think this was sometime in 1975. I also built a video display unit using TTL parts. I wrote a number of programs for Ham radio use and used a model 15 teletype for hard copy.
I later got a floppy drive unit and wrote an operating system. I also recall dis-assembling someone's Basic interpreter and porting to that OS. Ahhh, the good old days:)
When I was in New Zealand last year I noticed that the wall outlets had a switch for each individual socket, making it easy to completely turn off TVs and such when you weren't using them.
I gave up on PC Connection years ago because of their fascination with Airborne. I think the last order I did with them was for a laptop computer (about $900 if I recall correctly). I specified either Fedex or UPS overnight and was willing to pay the extra amount. Instead, they sent if Airborne overnight, which went as far as Albuquerque and then Airborne took it down the street and sent it UPS the rest of the way. By the time it arrived I was on a plane headed east, so they lost that order.
I've had pretty good luck with newegg.
Being the only person in the corporation I don't have any experience with multiple computer licenses, so can't answer that. If you don't use the software anymore, you simply remove it from the list of assets, listing it as scrap, so no more taxes on it.
It was kind of strange, I had never heard of "business personal property tax" before I moved from California to Vermont. In fact, I didn't know our town had such a thing until I read in the newspaper that they voted to phase it out to be more competitive with other towns in the area.
I went back into the corporate files for fiscal 1984 and took a look at the business personal property tax return for Randolph, Vermont. Software was taxed the same as hardware. Anything that had been deprecated to zero for federal purposes was taxed at 10% of it's purchase price. Other items were taxed at their fair market value.
Nothing new here, move along.
TFA didn't mention this, but they may be talking about Geodetic GPS receivers. These units are often used to measure plate drift and can measure down to 5 millimeters or so. Something like http://www.trimble.com/5800.shtml
They meant Microware's OS9/68K operating system. Microware got bought by Radisys a number of years back. I would think at this point that OS9/68K is pretty much on life support. It is an embedded systems operating system, not a desktop system (or at least not a very good desktop system). Here's a link to the OS9 page.
For many years I have had a network of Microchip PIC controlers networked using a 1200 baud serial network into a central controller. The central controller is a PC-104 board that allows configuration via either a touch-panel or using it's web server.
There is a very old snapshot of how it was configured when I was in New Mexico at Barnnet. It is setup in a similar manner here in Oregon, but the HVAC system uses A/C instead of a swamp cooler.

That's what we like about generating Windoze executables with Delphi. It has a smart linker so it only links in the library routines it actually uses and produces one EXE file for the program. This EXE will run correctly on anything from '98 to XP without change.
When the Linux community finally decides on ONE executable format that will run on just about any Linux installation, then they might have something.
I have a customer who uses Raven CDMA modems on Verizon's network. He uses these like normal modems using a PPP connection to get data from earthquake recording systems, either intermittant connections or nearly continuous.
The modem connects via serial at 115200 baud and he is getting around 10K Bytes per second throughput. Since it pretty much looks like a hayes modem, it doesn't matter what operating system you have on your laptop. I have absolutely no idea what the equipment or service costs are.

It's a Kinemetrics/Quanterra model Q330. There is a PC-104 based single board computer that records data to hard disk located in another sphere.

It was on the Tiger DVD that came with my Mini a few months ago. I've installed it, but haven't done much with it.

Ebay just paid how much for Skype, like 3 or 4 billion? I wonder how long before Skype and others figure out a way around the detection algorithms.
So it's kind of like religion, huh?
Steve Jobs steps down. To be replaced by Carly Fiorina.
What version is required to get it to install a "fpc.cfg" file in the MAC OS X flavor :)
They could just remodel "Colossus" programming headquarters. How's that for an obscure reference?
