The author appears to have done zero research into how to get a Mac talking on a Windows network, if he had done maybe 1-2 hours of research, he would have saved himself 2-3 weeks of grief. Instead of not having any clue on how he got it to work, he would have known exactly how to set things up how he wanted. I don't get it, why spend the money on a Mac if you are not prepared to do any research on how to make it do the things you need to do? Would you buy a car without knowing whether or not it came with an engine? Or if that engine would play nice with your gas? I ordered a 12" Powerbook and I am going to make damn sure I can make it play nice with any other boxes/servers that I may have to interact with (Windows, Linux, other Macs, etc.) by the time it gets here.
I support 170 some odd users for telephone and IT. We use a form based e-mail system, when something gets done, I just put it in a "Completed" folder, I also print out a hard copy and sign and date it, then put it in a file folder. No need for anything fancy.
Ok let's put it like this. This would be like making a camper shell for your truck out of papier mache and duct tape, and having it look ugly as shit, or just buying a damn camper shell. OR, like putting your home stereo in your car's backseat and running cables to your receiver, instead of buying a car cd player. I realize the "I can" factor, but why waste the time and effort when an easier solution is out there.
This has to be like the dumbest "mod" I have ever seen. If the regular GBA isn't big enough or have a full featured gamepad, get a gameboy player, see you can get a screen for the gamecube and a battery pack. That would cost about the same and not void any warranties. This mod is moot.
That is what I was saying, only during a vain attempt at humour. Yes you are screwed if one of the drives died, totally screwed. There is no "evil" bit either. =P
Seems to me that it would more than likely write 1/6th of the data to each drive at once. So if one drive failed you would only be 1/6th shit out of luck.
It's just not the same as the feeling I got when my 300 baud modem finally came in the mail that fateful day, now that was broadband back then. I remember dialing up to Q-Link, which I believe became AOL. I remember picking up a Basic game programming book and not leaving my computer room for 3 days until I had programmed and saved them all. I may have to dig out the old keyboard and try this for myself. I think my monitor is wonky though. And I do have that sweet 128 cartridge that plugs into the back of the keyboard. Blue screen=good, green screen=even better.
Okay, what if someone photocopied, say, your credit card info, or your social security card, would you care then? If you have no compassion for corporations, go get a job from a homeless guy. Corporations make money, to pay salaries for their workers, and also overhead costs and such. It isn't like there are obscene amounts of money, a lot of times all they want to do is break even, then worry about making a profit. So stealing is OK, as long as it is a big faceless corporation? Contrary to popular opinion, the evil corporation is a minority. The only reason it pops to mind is that you don't hear about the companies that treat people well, and such. It is just like the news, how often is there positive stuff? It is usually fire, murder, fire, hurricane, fire, murder, stabbing, shooting, sports, weather. It doesn't mean that positive stuff doesn't happen, it is just that it isn't being reported because it is "boring." I hope at least some of this post makes sense.:)
Here is my take on the whole situation. File "sharing" is stealing. It isn't bucking authority, or sticking it to the RIAA, that is just a cop-out, a way to justify it to yourself. If this music is so "shitty" these days that you will not buy it, why it is OK to some to steal it? The RIAA is being very draconian in their tactics, I am not defending them at all. But, on the other hand, how would you feel if someone came into your house every day and stole something from you, not very much huh. That is a big problem in our society, no one has any empathy or compassion for their fellow human being, everything is me me me. I think the record companies are moving in the right direction in cutting prices on CDs. I will buy a cd for 13, but not for 20. (Target usually has them cheap anyway.) This story does scream FAKE to me too, but, that is just my opinion./karma
How often does it fsck up a render? With consumer cards, who cares if you mess up a render, because it may just be a temporary jaggy, they just want to be all out speed-demons. But, with these corporate cards, a messed up render could be a misplaced weld, or something along those lines.
Sweet merciful christ. Where to begin? READ CAREFULLY. I am just curious, I could honestly not give two shits or a fuck less about his finances. That said, I like knowing the reasons people go back to school, just to learn, or to help them make more money. I never said "ALAN MUST EXPLAIN HIMSELF RIGHT NOW OR I WILL NEVER SLEEP NIGHTS."
Interestingly, I found a keyboard for my gateway solo 2500 (laptop) for 12.95 usd on ebay, only thing with it is the under the english there are hebrew letters. Two things, one it is a conversation starter, two it was cheaper than the english list price of like 70 usd. So you may end up paying really rock-bottom prices for your international keyboard.
"You're taking a year off, do you want to be a loser or something?" Is Alan like, insecure about his job prospects, or just likes learning? I would err towards the latter.
Yeeeeeaaah, you're gonna go ahead and have to hire an electrician for this sort of job, umm yeah, so I'm gonna have you go ahead and do that, ok? Ohh and, yeeaah, did you finish up those TPS reports?
I have had it running on my Gateway 333 for a while now, only thing is mp3s skip sporadically, just cuz it is so slow, they skip in Windoze too. I like it, people like to pick on things that are popular just to be "different", I am not ashamed to admit I like Debian. I like the network install idea, so you only install what you want/need, without bloat. It is best done with a tour guide, ie. elder geek (that isn't a dickhead). It works fine for me, I am not on the bleeding edge of technology anyway. Just every once in a while apt-get update, can't remember the proper syntax, but it is that simple. I have a piece of paper that lists what packages I need when I do a clean install. It is pretty small compared to what comes with a lot of linux distros.

I was, I should have said as much. No offence taken, none meant.

That is what I was saying, only rephrased.

Yeah. I remember dialing up our local library BBS, accessing their card catalog system. It was pretty cool. Back before computers got "cool".

Is not a mouse at all, it is a cordless trackman wheel, from logitech. I don't like mice.

I thought that was just me.
Who is with me?
YAWN, what is next, another Star Wars sex story?
I know I will promptly be modded down, but it is a fate with which I will be able to live.
I am pretty sure the web and ntp servers are seperate, unless dunces are running the CS department over there.

Stop making programs compatible with SCO stuff, the lesson will be learned quickly, they would be NOTHING without the free software community.
