It's almost as if they are completely ignorant of the fact that DEVELOPERS are the only ones keeping Microsoft in their position, so -- of *COURSE* Microsoft is going to be aggressive about controlling them.
The only way to stop MS is to just *NEVER* write code for them. Ever.
Okay then, now you're starting to get informative.
I was under the impression - admittedly a glib one - that it's possible to send remote Aqua events using Applescript over any of the network layers.
I also was under the impression - mistakenly, since you've said ARD is a bitmap pusher - that ARD used this capability to reduce network clutter.
I still don't agree with you that the fact that ARD is meant for teachers makes this unusable. That makes no sense whatsoever. I've used ARD, and I'm certainly no teacher.
X was meant for rocket scientists, but that doesn't stop the kiddies from using it.
The bitmap issue, of course, is key. VNC wins, hands-down - since ARD ain't free.
If it came down to it, though, ARD will still get the job done - and may have the added advantage that with a fast network connection, ARD may one day be able to do such things as play Quicktime movies (albeit buffered) seamlessly...
Also, isn't ARD included with all 10.2 Server packages now?
Solar-powered desalination plants exist. They're just not commercially implemented because... drum roll... *anyone* can do it.
Having a high-tech gee-golly-whiz proprietary water desalination process is better for governments, because if only a few can do it, it creates an *economy* for it, which can then be taxed better.
If even our astronauts start eating tofu then all is lost. "Come on dear, even Buzz Aldrin eats tofu, why can't you?" I'll have no excuses left. I'll have to start eating that stuff.
Dude, if that argument works, you could always tell your wife that Buzz prolly swallows too, and see how she takes that lying down.
Or, erm, some other such lame reference to blowjobs...
Reduce your life down to a bag of clothes, a box of treasured heirlooms, and a laptop.
Everything else is completely irrelevant, and if you just chuck it, you'll soon understand how wonderful this realization is.
Sounds simple - but I mean, really, it works.
I had to do it when I moved to Germany from LA, and once I actually got rid of everything and had just my tiBook, a box of treasures in storage, and my newly re-organized wardrobe, it felt amazing not to have any other loads of crap to worry about.
By treasures, I mean just the family stuff: photo's you can't lose, letters, gifts of personal value, etc. My entire CD collection - or at least, the stuff I *knew* I couldn't replace by other means - is in my iPod, and the same completeness exists in my laptop, too.
After you get this done, all you have to worry about is backups. Feat!
"Furthermore, if what they really want is to be in NYC, why threaten to boycott NYC 2003?"
I'd bet NYC 2003 is a strawman. What they want (and what ThinkSecret seem to imply) is that what Apple *want* to do is go back to Boston, but at much cheaper rates.
Playing bluff, in other words.
Of course, there's also the rampant possibility that I'm reading to much into this. A common sin.
Not sure if its Czechoslovakia, or Poland, but somewhere in between.
Regardless, no doubt Apple need the break, with their losses this quarter. Yeah, Boston is cheaper, and purportedly Apple had agreed to it, so why're they getting fussed about NYC, which would be more expensive?
To negotiate a lower floor price in Boston? Well, good. Seems shrewdness on Apples part is apt, imnsho.
Of course, the *real* question that needs to be answered is which city (Boston or New York) has the best security... trade shows represent all sorts of targets.
16% of the US population is living below the poverty line, that's the highest that number has been since 1970. And you want to vote Libertarian so we can elevate that number?
Well, duh!! Of *COURSE* you vote Libertarian given these circumstances. After all, the losers you've voted in so far have done *NOTHING* to stem this figure, in spite of multi-billion dollar investments by both Democrats and Republicans of taxpayer money in aborted social programs which actually *promote* illiteracy and unemployment, not fix 'em.
Damn, it's so simple. The Libertarians have had *NOTHING* to do with the existing situation, which was created by the Dems/Reps.
So, vote 'em in. Lets see if they can clean up the mess...
Read the rest of his site to get an idea of just how to portray oneself as an American bigot.
Folks like Den Beste are the reason there are big problems within American culture with regards to xeno-relations.
His recent blahblah parade about Schröder's comparison of Bush to Hitler (the comparison is fair and valid to anyone who has studied the rise of the 3rd Reich) reveals a "Patriot" who just doesn't get it.
Americans like him are the problem with America today.
This cell phone controversy is just that: controversy. America has lacked *SO FAR* behind all other Western nations when it comes to cell phone usage, it should be embarrassing. The fact is, America's Telecom Mafia have been keeping the U.S. in the 'wheel is cool' days of cellular tech since the very beginning. That he is incapable of seeing this just belies his bigotry.

Point a) You sure about that?
Point b) Makes no sense whatsoever, at all.

Go to www.apple.com. Hit the Search field. Type in "Apple Remote Desktop".
'nuff said.
Dude, its not karma-whoring
It'd make the dopest desktop wallpaper to have these closeup images live, near-realtime, on my OSX desktop.

Then I could actually finally have a decent use for transparent Term windows, I guess...
I call bullshit on this.

That's called an out of body experience.

Then I guess there's nothing we can do. The Internet is doomed.

Still, I know I'll be able to read about the new one on MSNBC.newtld a day or two afterwards

Sure, google is easy to use, but you don't get to share the results of the effort, nor talk about the circumstances, with thousands of other geeks.
*That* is the value inherent in Ask Slashdot stuff like this.
Those that moan about it just don't get it.
Developers have also used Mozilla to create games, development tools, browser enhancements, as well as all sorts of other types of applications.

Anyone got good examples of these types of applications handy?
I'd love to know what Mozilla-based games there are, for example
