Right, exactly. This isn't a 'switch', its a 'compare'.
I myself am very interested in the answer. I wonder if the solution may be to have an ext3 (or xfs, or jffs) shim for Win32, also?
Man, if only there were an *open*, *journaled*, *fast* and *efficient* filesystem which all 3 OS's were allowed to play well with.
Seems to me if the answer to this "Ask Slashdot" ends up being "just use FAT32", then there's an opportunity for a decent OSS project: completely open, cross-platform, fast, journaled filesystem, with code tarballs for all major platforms.
Fair enough, but my point is: Intuem is an OSX music app, it works very well, it is very cheap and easy to use, and it does do musical notation.
Maybe its not as sophisticated as Finale or a properly configured TeX setup, but Intuem is still a valid contendor in the list of "usable OSX music-printing apps", and therefore should be included. Who knows, maybe the next major release will add grace notes and articulations... it *could* happen with the existing code...
I have not been following the Habash case nearly close enough to be able to comment on the guilty/not-guilty and conspiracy issue, but I would like to comment on this:
... considering that they were already in the USA, wouldn't it have been a lot simpler to attack Americans in America if that was really their goal? or that they would travel to one of the most remote (and particularly hard to get to at the time) regions in the entire world.
Well, if Habash did experience a religious conversion and became a fundamentalist with mujahadeen impulses, I would venture that a voyage from the pit of Sillicon Valley, over the Earth, to one of the oldest places of all civilization and most romanticized indeed, wouldn't necessarily have been considered as difficult as you imagine.
For a young man, obviously quite a capable individual, with a spirited religious inspiration guiding/forcing him, a trip of that nature would be a worthwhile endeavour indeed. A pity in this case that we've 'learned' that this trip was nefarious - many pilgrimages of this nature still do occur in the modern world, however, and for good purpose, not evil.
I shall not pass judgement on Habash, even though the U.S. Gov't has done so, not because I do not trust the U.S. Gov't, but because I know no man I could pass judgement on freely and not begin to distrust myself.
If they get the hardware actually done - everything is "COMING SOON" - and actually can get it working as specified for cheap - I mean $200 for a good system, then I think they will have a winner on their hands.
A lot of people pick up programming because they want to learn to make video games to entertain themselves... and this is a good system for that. Particularly if they have good API's for game system management (sprites/vectors/etc.) then they're going to attract a lot of new and interesting programmer types.
It is a shame they don't have a beefier CPU, though I do admire their I/O design. Perhaps there is room for different CPU modules in the future, same peripherals...
Firewire is far superior, and not only that continues to improve as bandwidth gets better and better. Same protocol, no matter the wire - the design scales all the way to fiber.
Whereas USB required a redesign, fundamentally, to go from 1.0 -> 2.0...
Ummm... I don't care if you think you 'invented' the idea or not, but it is not an uncommon theme and I have seen it before on album labels. You will probably be offended if/when you see the similarity of style, even, if what you say about your invention is true.
Regardless, I still think its cool, even though it is not unique.
And, my head is nowhere near my ass, thank you very much...

Perl 1.0?

I think you must be American. In British English, you can say that you think something is "CRAP" and it means that you think that thing is actually shit.
No way I'm going to bother with anything at.cpan.org... I hate Perl.
I'm from Perth (born in Subiaco) and have lived outside of Australia since I was a teenager - have visited home a couple of times here and there, and every time I've been impressed with how much progress Perth has made in implementing advanced Internet technologies. Last time I was there - a year ago - I noted teams of wireless-hackers putting up repeater boxes in various neighborhoods at least 4 times - I don't know if it was just by chance, but I kept running into these 3 guys!
One of the things which has kept me from moving back home to Perth and setting up digs has been the state of the Internet down there - the Telecom monopoly, and the distances involved, have been a big factor. Maybe I'm spoiled by American and European bandwidth situations and maybe I ought to just go home and bear with it, but I would be curious to hear from anyone who knows what the scene is like in Perth for cheap, affordable world-class Internet bandwidth?

Specialized hardware (almost) always outperforms commodity stuff.
That's kind of "black and white", wouldn't you say?
Oh, wait, you said (almost). Sorry, your sig almost killed it for me.
- Maybe use FAT32, but mount .ISO files?
- Windows is the problem: what open source filesystems are there for Windows, anyway?
Right, exactly. This isn't a 'switch', its a 'compare'.

Custom Software running on Custom Hardware vs. Custom Software running on Commodity Hardware.
Duh

I beg to differ. I've given Intuem staff printouts to musicians to read plenty of times, and they've never had problems with it...
Anyway, Intuem does work for printing sheet music.
... Finn supposedly got started?
...
Wake me up when he lives in the alley
It is OSX Native, and works very well:

Now imagine the synth--nerd concerts, where you can see what he's seeing on his laptop, projected behind him!
:)
Coooooooll!!! No more cheesy laptop musicians - make the software part of the act too!

IBM, or Microsoft?
Anyone want to start taking bids?

.cpan.org ... I hate Perl.
No way I'm going to bother with anything at
It is crap!
The 'hyperdermic-into-RJ45' logo is a blatant ripoff of some House labels "hyperdermic-into-needle (as in record needle)" logo.
Can't think of the name, but I've definitely seen this logo design before, the same concept, even the same sorta style.
That said, its pretty good. I like the "Volatile Hyperlinkage" one best.
Great, prompting ... lessee ... who exactly ... to buy out SCO and turn it into a very prominent slugfest?
... lessee .... hmm ....
Mmm... Sumo versus Montana
What you mean like hardware Powerbook updates, or some sort of firmware point release?
I'll melt my 19" rack and sell it for slag if it means I can get myself a Rev. B 17" alBook this year, loaded to the gills.
No, I mean crap, as in the stuff that comes out of everyones ass.
I'll use it however I want. I think Perl is crap!
