But Time Machine requires you run a Mac that can run Mac OS X 10.5, and is useless with classic, even on a triple boot. It does not work on HFS+ volumes that have been used by 10.4, or OS 9.

My C teacher used to show us snippets, and got us interested in the per-processor. We learned more in analyzing errant code, then writing out own, and we could turn crap code into cool programs.
He called one snippet 'Recalcitrant' and we ran upstairs in the library to look it up, People thought we were mad when we were laughing at the dictionary.
Thanks Barry both for showing us C, and for introducing us to GNU.

Wrong. After the 950, as lame as it is, it only got worse. I have replaced 6 intel GPUs with $20 nVidia cards, and heard nothing but shock and awe from Business users. ferchristsake
"they're stuck with inventory of CPUs and GPUs and memory and everything else that loses value and they're not making any sales."
Obvious, and thanks for pointing that out. What its not obvious is that this impacts most OEMs with major sales, and small inventories, ( the one with large inventories in a climbing market get to raise their price also, but keep the $profit$ from the rising prices ), that they have to raise their prices immediately, and look at the market.
"BTW if you need a big drive even at the higher prices i can recommend the Samsung Ecodrive most heartily." The day after the flood, bought four of these, just as they were raising the prices at best buy. ++Samsung, +++Ecodrive --Best Buy.

One easy hint! You are ordering at least 1000 motherboards, have the powersupply connector at a 90 degree angle so that it holds the powersupply connector to the side of the motherboard area, and holds the motherboard in. No screws. and for god sake... put some RAM in the machines.
Stupid consumers dont know the diffrence: A use bought an HP printer, installed the 10k help files from the CD. Virus scanning comes to a complete halt looking through what? HP jar files for their help system. Printer fails....help is no help. User purchases a Cannon Printer, Installs from CD. CD installs ( dear god ) spyware and buy from cannon garbage. Virus scanner chokes after chewing thru all the HP help files still installed, and chokes on the Cannon spyware. User gives up, and buys another HP printer. Virus scanner chokes on 2 sets of HP helpfull jar files, cannon spyware, and how user wants to get another Cannon printer?

oleophobic means phobic in chemical terms means to repel. i.e. oil is hydro-phobic. Since it is oleophobic, it cannot be absorbed by the skin, and since its a plastic, it flakes off in very small particles. My guess is that some of it lands in your lungs, but on a scale about 1/10000 less that say a harmful fungus, so its very innocus. ( btw, I wear a 3M breathing mask sometimes at work, and have done my homework. ) Try looking for a MHDS ( Materials Handling Data Sheet ), but I doubt you will find one.
You also know where the rubber on your car tires goes? into dust, and it does get into your lungs. ( but again, at being rubber, its not very dangerous ).
Now onto the real juice: n-hexane is a nerve toxin, in light doses will give you a head-rush, and in heaver doses will give you short term memory loss, and in very heavy doses?
You dont need a Fab ( or fap if you prefer ) plant to fix BIOS hacks, you need only decompile the BIOS, and reverse the hack.
Since the author of the article does not really understand the 'Reflections on trusting trust' very well, he just needs to consider that: Hardware is really just a faster version of software, i.e. anything you do in logic hardware you can simulate in software, so, the hardware is really running a program. You should be wary of rogue chips, that have backdoors built in! They could trigger without the BIOS!However, your going to find this out pretty fast, with a packet sniffer, and rogue hardware sending out encrypted packets.
and then some pesky Linux kernel hacker is going to find out, publish your hardware prefix, and all your cards are belong to us! But of course, the hardware could pick a MAC address hardware prefix at random, but that would be traceable too!
It all sounds so cool and theoritical, but BIOS/Silicon guys in Taiwan are so busy trying just to get the damn device out the door, relitivly bug free, they dont have time to add spyware to the BIOS/Silicon, so you are going to get a hacked chop job done by some failure of a chinese postal employee? Someone is going to find out, really, they will spot the network traffic, and then your whole house of cards is going south, and then the word is going to get out, and they are going to find the people responsible and TP their house!
Spam is a tolerable social evil, as well as viruses/spyware. The intelligentsia keep them well at bay, but a BIOS/Silicon backdoor? Your going to need a custon FAB place to do it, and somehow... you are going to get caught, either on the front end, ( where was it fabbed ) or on the back end ( where the backdoor crap collects ). Didnt they just take down some russian guy? Dont do the crime if you can do the time!

Now I know that Oracle has pissed off someone, I am looking forward to a true black box implementation literally within a few weeks. 5k APIs? 2M lines of code?

Excellent argument, but considering that almost the same thing was written about the SCO case, proves that the outcome will be the same, i.e. the closer the argument, the closer the outcome by precedent.
Really, The only thing that the SCO/IBM suit proved was stupidity and greed. ( If you are reading this Derrly, rot in hell!, and look forward to company ).
However, SCO was just stupid. Oracle is going to be a lot more sophisticated about it, and the API argument is a dead horse. Dead is dead. The hard fight was fought between IBM and Phoenix long before you were born.
"Projects like WINE and GNUstep would also be in serious trouble and Linux (implementing UNIX APIs) would be illegal. " I will bet you ONE HARD LOONEY. ( $1CDN ) that this will never ever happen.

Click on MHDS.
Looks like its a hazard to apply,
and causes cancer in 1kppm, and you probably exposed to <1ppb, ( or about 10 billion times less concentrations )
