Ah, X11 has been available in one form or another for OS X for quite a long time. It's been availble on Fink for ages and Apple's X11 is included as an option in 10.3
I think you'll also find that most everything you need to run in Linux will compile on OS X or is already available in Fink.
I wish they's put as much effort at trying to keep the number of spamvertized websites hosted on Chinese ISPs under control. 90% of the spam I receive are advertising sites hosted on IPs that are allocated to Chinese companies.
I don't think that's correct. The two shuttles full of astronauts that were lost probably put the US well ahead of the USSR/Russia. The Russians lost Soyuz 1 (one cosmonaut) and another three in Soyuz 11. Can't think of any other (publicized) losses during missions.
If you take into account the pad explosions the USSR had, they come out ahead - but most of those fatalities were engineers and not cosmonauts.
I use a large cargo bag and sleevecase, too. Very nice bag. my only complaints would be that the flap strap isn't adjustable and the large cargo bag itself is rather heavy all by itself (probably because it's semi-rigid).
The bag is durable, looks good, and does a good job protecting my laptop.
Hasn't done me a lick of good. When I went to transfer my number last week, my new provider's (T-Mobile) system wouldn't allow the number to be transfered. My old provider (Verizon) claimed that the third party that manages the transfer database was at error and there was nothing they could do.
I was replacing a stolen phone and needed a new one right away. I also didn't want to extend my contract with Verizon another two years to get a new (+ expensive and inferior) phone so I ended up signing up with T-Mobile anyway and getting a new number.
I don't have any evidence of whose fault it was. However, from past experience dealing with Verizon, I suspect they simply never released my number for transfer.
There's a very good case to be made that dropping the bombs avoided many thousands of Allied casualties that would have been inflicted on the invasion forces if the Japanese hadn't capitulated. The IJA was still capable of fielding large numbers of troops in the home islands, and the U.S. forces would have faced very stiff resistance. IMHO, a strategy of blockading Japan to force them to surrender would have caused more suffering overall through starvation and economic collapse than the bombings caused. My Japanese language teacher in college was a schoolgirl in Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped. She told me once that, in her opinion dropping the bomb was the right thing to do. She believed that far more people would have been killed in an invasion than in the bombings. She was probably correct. Not only would an invasion have caused massive destruction, but the authorities had been assembling formations of civilians armed with *pikes* for human wave assaults against invading forces.
Even after the bombs were dropped, the Japanese military was dead set against surrendering. Had they been so inclined, they could have prolonged the war and forced an invasion (which likely would have lead to millions of Japanese civilian casualties). It was only the personal loyalty of the Japanese minister of war and some senior generals to the Emperor that allowed the surrender to go ahead.
Even still, a group of IJA officers managed to seize control of the palace, assassinate a general, and had started to search for the surrender recording the Emperor made in an effort to thwart the surrender. Fortunately, some Imperial Chamberlains hid the recording until a loyal general made it to the palace and took control of things.
Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire by Richard B. Frank provides a very good justification of the atom bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (both places I've visited, BTW - Hiroshima twice).
Japan's Longest Day by Pacific War Research Society (Compiler), Kazutoshi Hando provides a good overview of the Japanese decision to surrender.
Both are available at Amazon and are worth a read by anyone interested in the end of the Pacific War.
That's not really a solution. Upgrade to a completely new computer because of the noise? Granted, there are a lot of reasons to upgrade to a G5, but in most cases operation noise alone probably isn't enough of one (unless you're filthy moneybags rich, that is).
Way back when, MacSoft released a pre-demo of Fallout. The demo was based on early code and the performance was so bad, it put many people off buying the game.
Performance on the final game was pretty reasonable. However, a lot of people skipped buying because of the horrible demo.
You can get an external battery pack for the current generation iPods. That should provide some insurance against running low on juice/battery degradation. I have an earlier generation machine, so I don't know how good the pack is, but it is available.
Most of the spam I get originates from overseas relays and point to servers in other countries (usually mainland China). How is are these state laws going to help me?
Hasn't M-Net been around a whole lot longer than SDF? I remember dialing into M-Net (on a 300 baud acoustic coupler!) in 1983 when it was running System 3 on an Altos 68000.

That info's in the FAQ

Assuming that they like Jackson's interpretation of the books. Personally, I disliked FoTR enough to skip TTT and don't intend to see RoTK.
/.ers who liked the films well. However, this one was very disappointed with what he saw.
I can't imagine being subjected to *extended* versions of the films. *SHUDDER*.
I wish those

There are also the Games Workshop Fantasy and SF wargames that both Warcraft and Starcraft take a lot of inspiration from.

You are so brave to admit you like Yanni. I am in awe ;)

It'll still be slow :-P

Just install postfix instead. Secure, easy to set up, right there in Fink. What's not to like?
You could always put Linux on your PowerBook.
There's also the Darwin core of OS X. X11 runs fine alongside OS X
Well, at least SCO can't patent the protection racket, since there most definitely is prior art...
At 9:38am EST, Safari Beta 2 didn't show up in Software Update (at least on my machine). Downloading it from Apple's website works fine, though.
