I'm pretty sure blocking enterances to public buildings with huge crates would probably get you arrested in the "real world" as would lighting explosives at a gas station.
When dealing with material that is considered a trade secret it is revealed to the necessary parties in the lawsuit and kept sealed under the court proceedings. The evidence would be submitted and recorded but you could not get copies of it.

He has a complete disregard for the question of where the AI engine will run. If an AI is to be of any more use than a curiousity then those "little autonomous robots" must function in a viable manner so that the AI has something to do when it comes to "life".
I understand his frustration in general progress. But, those grad students are building a strong foundation for their later work that may very well meet the goals he is espousing. No need to have design flaws in implementation down the road because the engineer wasn't properly educated in physical design as well as logical design.
Competing is the not the goal. The goal is a highly secure OS capable of doing everything the development team and core user base want it to do. Having others able and desiring to use OpenBSD is a secondary concern driven by a need for funding to continue development.
OpenBSD does not cater to "Joe User" nor does it claim to. You are correct, Joe User should be using something that gives more direction and simplifies their experience such as RedHat. -Rusty
38K a year? Either you're getting screwed or it's an entry level position. An experienced Unix admin should be making almost twice that at minimum. Someone who is real good should be close to 6 figures. Add on 25% more for being in a major population center on either coast.
Several of your problems with vim are solved in Gvim. The graphical version has pulldown menus for common tasks instead of having to memorize keystrokes. You will be faster if you know the keystrokes but not hindered by using the menus. There is an OSX native (Aqua) Gvim port as well which does not require use of the rootless X server to run.
I use Gvim for most of my coding as I do not require moving files around or CVS integration. VI comes naturally to me as I learned it so long ago. It's kind of the same reason I am a Mac user, because my P's bought one for me about 20 years ago and that's what I'm used to...
Without being argumentative, if you can show me facts that prove giving food versus giving food-making technologies helps those in need, I'll recant what I've said in full.
Maybe I wasn't clear, but I never said giving food was the solution. The 2 points I made were that the charity you specifically named does not only give food but also provides education and resources so that those they are helping can provide themselves with food. -Rusty
First, Save the Children takes the money donated and helps feed the child and his or her family. THis frees the child from having to work to help support the family and allows them to attend a Feed the Children (or other group) sponsored school. An educated and nourished child helps break the cycle.
Second, Save the Children and other similar charities pool a portion of the donations to families in the same community to go toward improvements. They often go toward digging wells or irrigation ditches. They build communal argicultural and sanitation improvements that help break the cycle of poverty and disease.
Please check your facts before generalizing about charitable funding.
Don't forget these laptops need to run applications to be useful. I'd bet they're running several thousand copies of educational price licensed Microsoft Office v.X. Just a guess, of course...
I believe you are looking for 'amd'. It's an automounter for NFS filesystems. It is included on my 10.2 install, not sure about 10.1.5. I would think if you set up/Users/* for automounting you'ls be all set.
Are you prepared to purchase and support Lotus Notes? IBM uses it internally and I got to try it while on contract there. I actually prefered the Notes client to Outlook and it had an X11 client for Solaris I used to run over SSH X11 forwarding onto my Linux desktop.
I can't think of anything Exchange/Outlook does that a Notes client/server pair doesn't do.
As others have mentioned, Toast is unnecessary under Mac OS X anyway; Disk Copy and iTunes should do everything you need without DRM shackles.
Ever tried to download and burn a bootable i386 FreeBSD CD using Disk Copy? No? I didn't think so... I need Toast to burn bootable OS CDs for the other OSen I use since th only burner I own is in my TiBook. -Rusty
Then we simply go back to the tried and true method of recording directional signal strength and pinpointing their still open node. Having an excess of chalkmarks does not put you in any worse situation than having no chalk marks.
I have an ANS 500 that I stole the 150mhz CPU board from a dead 700 and "upgraded". I've got 3 drives that I rotate through for booting, one with YDL, one with NetBSD and one with the AIX that came with it. Only problem was needing to put in a USB PCI card and a NIC as the onboard NIC gets cranky (something about endian-ness of the driver).
Pretty swanky box, HUGE amount of disk space/drawers, a RAID card and dual PCI buses. It makes a damn fine SMB, NFS, tftp, DHCP and bootp server and crunches RC5-64 packets for me too.
Yes, they do Localtalk, but ummm...
They're AIX (or some other *nix) boxes. They absolutely can not run MacOS. The closest they come in MoL under LinuxPPC.
You could probably buy one but they weigh a good 40kg or more depending on how many HD they have. You'ld need to have it shipped by truck on a pallette (as they were originally delivered). Check out www.xavax.com for some pictures and information.
You are refering to the Apple Network Server 500 and 700 circa about 1996. They were PPC-604 machines running at 132mhz and 150mhz respectively. There were PPC604-200mhz upgrade boards made for them. They ran AIX 4.1.3. Excellent design, I have one in my den. It currently runs NetBSD 1.5 and YellowDogLinux 2 when/if I swap out the boot drive. Mine still cranks out 500,000+ RC5-64 keys per second for distributed.net
