Actually, the iTunes music store carries a lot of the more popular industrial stuff.
I've seen Suicide Commando, Combichrist (and Andy's other two bands Panzer AG and Icon of Coil), Hocico, God Module, Rotersand, Grendel, Funker Vogt, VNV Nation, Assemblage 23, Covenant, Haujobb, Front Line Assembly and pretty much any other mainstream industrial band you'd expect to see.
I've even been surprised to find Psyclon Nine, Xotox, Run Level Zero, Headscan, Imperative Reaction and a ton of other less popular industrial bands.
Sadly, there's no Tactical Sekt, Feindflug, Dioxyde, Agonoize, Aesthetic Perfection, Aslan Faction, or Destroid so there's definitely more work for Apple, but it's not like they're ignoring the industrial scene.
Umm.. I use FreeBSD 5.4 on a number of workstations, some with USB keyboards (I personally use a Mac and a FBSD workstation on a USB KVM) and I never have problems with my USB keyboard.
I don't even have to select "boot with USB keyboard", I just let the loader timeout and select the normal "boot" option.
Dillon didn't scrap it, per se. He and Paul-Henning Kamp got into a pissing match about the best way to implement SMP-NG, and Matt had his commit bit taken away.
So he left the project thet he co-founded to start DragonFly BSD.
DragonFly is definitely not ready for production use, but the developer previews look great. I'm really hoping that DragonFly's SMP approach will perform better than FreeBSD 5.x's SMP-NG when it's "production ready," just so Matt can tell PHK that he's a moron.
I've recently had some bad luck with running mysql on a FreeBSD (4.x & 5.x) SMP system. The website gets a good amount of traffic, and mySQL would somehow choke the system.
I wound up having to migrate that server to Debian, and I haven't had any problems yet.
I still prefer FreeBSD over Linux, so I'm hoping 6.x will fix the 5.x mess.
Iraq was in violation of all sorts of Clinton-era UN resolutions.
Saddam was basically laughing at the UN, and he knew the UN wouldn't do anything.
I believe Bush saw an opportunity to "spin" the situation and finally get the UN involved, which still didn't work, because the UN are a bunch of bitches. So we went in to fix the UN violations, while looking for WMDs.
And I'm glad Bush lied to all the dumb people that didn't care about the UN violations. What is the sense of having the UN if they're just going to impose bullshit sanctions, and not enforce them?!
It's not because MySQL is a buzzword. It's because MySQL works, that's what their data is currently sitting in, and their web site it programmed to talk to MySQL.
Switching to PostgreSQL, or any other database, entails a lot of work. Reprogramming anything database specific, and moving about 20GB from MySQL to PostgreSQL without losing *any* data.... and it should all be done with minimul downtime, because their 15k visitors/day don't care what database the data is stored it, they just want the sht to work.
I am very happy with 5.4, which I have running on 4 of my machines, which are all single processor pentium 4 or single processor xeon.
I am very unhappy with 5.4 on SMP systems...
I upgraded two xeon SMP systems to 5.4 a few days ago.
The 1st machine was a web server running FreeBSD 5.3. The 2nd machine was a database server running FreeBSD 4.11. The web server queries the database server over a gigabit cross-over link.
These machines handle a daily average of about 15k unique visitors, with the web server transferring anywhere from 15GB - 20GB of data per day.
I've had nothing but problems with the database server (running MySQL 4.0.24) running FreeBSD 5.x.
I've tried everything. MySQL with and without LinuxThreads, the 4BSD and ULE schedulers, kernel and network tuning (mbufs, max connections, etc.). but nothing made that box stable.
No matter what I did, scripts on the web server would, almost randomly, time out trying to connect to the database server.
I wound up reverting the database server back to FreeBSD 4.11 / MySQL 4.0.24 w/ LinuxThreads to make things stable again.
I'm really hoping that when 6.x stabilizes, all these SMP related issues have cleared up. Eventually FreeBSD 4.x will stop being maintained and if I still can't run MySQL reliably on a FreeBSD 5.x or 6.x system, I'll have to start using Linux for my MySQL database servers. =/
And before anyone mentions it, I'd _LOVE_ to migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL, but these are a client's servers I maintain, and they don't want to ditch MySQL unless it's necessary.
All you have to do is burn the the songs to cd. Then you can do whatever the hell you want to do. Then you have a backup of all the music you purchased in case your hard drive dies or your mp3 player gets stolen, dropped, etc.
It sounds like the same amount of current will be drawn, but on the more expensive headphones it will be quieter. Which may make you turn the volume up and then draw more current.
It's possible that thay're talking about actual UNIX (TM) servers. If MS catches up to the sales of actual UNIX servers, it could be because people are moving a lot of their new machines to UNIX-like machines, which don't get counted.
So this could mean that as UNIX marketshare is declining, *BSD/Linux marketshare is growing.
Tell me about it... I have a client that tries to pronounce _every_ acronym. It makes me crazy. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "da-nis" instead of D-N-S, or "fipt" instead of F-T-P.
While Apple's OS X has a very NextStepish Mach MicroKernel, the entire userland is from FreeBSD 5.
I'm sitting at a Tiger workstation right now, and if I open a terminal window and type "man ls" I will get the _exact_ same man page a FreeBSD 5 system shows. All the userland utils in OS X understand the same switches as the FreeBSD userland utils. They are the same.
It's like "GNU/Linux" really. Linux is Linux, but it heavily relies on GNU userland utils, so RMS wants it to be called "GNU/Linux".
At least the BSD developers aren't assholes, screaming about calling it "BSD/OS X".
I decided to go the painful route because I've been upgrading Logic installs on this Mac since Jaguar; from 'platinum 5.5' to 'platinum 6' to 'pro 6' to 'pro 7' and Logic is sort of weird now...
It was still in/Applications with a 'Logic 6 Pro' folder and all it's settings in that folder, but Logic 7 was looking for all it's settings in their new location,/Library.
Plus, this is my first Mac and I've installed a lot of random crap over the past two years and figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to clean up a lot of that shit...

Apple may not have done anything to break windows compatibility, but Windows won't work anyways.
The only version of Windows that can boot from an EFI bios is Windows XP 64-bit Edition, but the Intel Macs have 32-bit CPUs.

I don't see your point at all.
OpenOffice doesn't have to compete based on merit, if it can compete based on price.
OpenOffice won't have any problems until MS announces that Office13 is going to be free.
I don't know why Steve bothered offering. If the machines don't have SSE3, Rosetta won't be able to run any PPC binaries.
Since it was broken in the original 1.0 release for OS X, they're not fixing it until the next major release.
If you play with the 1.5 beta, it's fixed, just like in the nightlies, and none of your plugins will work, just like the nightlies.
I'm still using Safari because of stupid stuff like this...
Cisco routers aren't fast compared to Juniper routers. I woudn't use a Cisco router for any pipe > 10 MB/s.
I know that LSD is extracted from mold that grows on rye.
I've heard that "new" rye has been created which doesn't grow mold, and the only rye seeds you can buy will grow this new, mold-free rye.

Wireless has worked with FreeBSD for a long time.
What hasn't worked was newer forms of wireless encryption, like WPA-PSK.
It doesn't require a complete reinstall to migrate from 4.x to 5.x, and I'm sure going from 5.x to 6.x won't require one either.
