I seem to remember reading an article a while back about the new high-frequency SVGA monitors.. and how with the appropriate receiver, the signal could actually be mirrored via radio waves as far as 150 feet away.... through walls and what not. it all depended on how many monitors were in the vicinity and broadcasting noise on the different frequencies....
Proof that a system is still insecure, no matter how much you do to it.
Of course, I guess a large issue, is what exactly is all the EMF doing to our bodies? The normal level of background EMF is much lower than what we currently bombard ourselves with from all directions.... oddly enough, I know people who think that microwave radio transmitters ony transmit from the transmitter straight to the little dish.... there's no overage.. no.. none at all... and if you move the dish.. I guess the transmitter is smart enough to move the signal....
Get Retrospect Express v.4.1 for the iMac. It is capable of scheduled backups and what not. It can even turn the machine on, back it up, and shut it down.
And it will backup to an FTP server too.. so just create a MacBackup directory on the Linux box, and have the iMac do it's backups to that directory, then just back those files up to tape from the Linux box locally.
I'm pretty sure it will do the same for Windows, and it's pretty cheap (Cheaper than BackUp Exec.)
I've wondered this too. Especially since I don't own a machine that has less than 128 MB RAM.. most have in the range of 160-192... and every time I install Linux, sizing the swap partition has always been a big question... of course, now that question will be made easier now that the newer kernel supports larger swap files.
Note: The linux folks out there need to adjust what they think is a reasonable machine, and provide some guidelines for us who like max things out in a box. I can see the swap guidelines applying to people putting Linux on discarded Pentiums, 486's and non-G3 powerMacs... but there needs to be some guidelines for those of us who buy/acquire/build machines that have wicked fast CPUs, normal Hard Drives (even though they may be of capacities barely heard of a few years ago) and enough money to buy decent amount of RAM (Esp with 128 MB DIMMs going for around $100 a pop, it's easy to get large amounts in a desktop machine).
So basically, after reading all the posts, the concensus is: Use 128 MB no matter how much RAM you have if you're using a single user machine, and don't really worry about it (assuming the use of an old kernel that only allows a 128 MB swap file), or the same size as your RAM if you're using a newer kernel.
On server level machines, or machines that are to be used as servers, you need to do a little more analysis based on how the machine will be used.
I know it's been reshashed a couple of times, but here's the real number:
Silicon Graphincs 1600 SW has a.237 dot pitch.
That beats a.25 Trinitron (which is what the Sony has) with no wire lines in the screen... it comes darn close to beating my.22 Hitachi, except for the fact that it only weighs 8lbs vs. my Hitachi's 38....
One of the guys here just got one of the SGI's for some document work he's doing. I haven't seen it yet, but he says it's _Really_ cool...
Did anyone _else_ stay to the very bitter end of the movie? To the last bit of the credits? Right where the typical little globe shows before the projector runs out of film? The last three seconds of the audio track?
Darwin is the underlying parts of MacOS X without the GUI and a few Apple Proprietary parts.
In other words... You wanna make KDE your WM? Go ahead! You wanna make your own WM that's 3d with all kinds of bells and whistles? Go ahead! You want a WM that's Java Based? GO ahead!
You wanna port it to the Palm Pilot/Intel/Alpha/ARM? Go ahead!

Anyone want to verify this?
"aliens are not here. But are they out there somewhere in the galaxy?"
Hmm... the strange this is that _we_ are someone else's aliens.. we may even actually be them ourselves, and have just forgotten...
And somewhere out there there is another race of beings looking at transmissions from space trying to find _us_....

Well in that case, then it was the line higher up in the credits that said "All graphics Prerendered on Apple Computers"
In the pod race.
Anyone else notice that?
Mito-Chloreans: Small symbiotic creatures that live in every cell that determine what you do.
Mitochondria: Small genetic particles in every cell that govern how it works.
Then you better go back and watch it again.
Or beg someone to let you in to see the credits. ALL of them.

Nice forshadowing there, eh?

AGGGH.... Total Impact Quad G3/333's filling all THREE PCI slots....
which gives me 13 CPUs... still nothing to sneeze at.

Yes, there's a whole page on it...

sorry... no HREF tag.. I'm being lazy...
Apple has historically always claimed that you buy the hardware and tehy essentially give away the OS that comes with it.
Therefore, you'd get back your refund request with a cancelled stamp.
Someone want to explain why when I click the Ftp: link that I get sent to ftp-proxy.apple.com?
Is Apple hosting a bunch of stuff for them?
