My fully loaded PB 15" just shipped from Shanghai on the 23rd. When Tiger comes out I'll either shell out for it, or maybe I'll get a break. What's my point? If you want a Mini, get it now. Who knows when Tiger is going to actually ship.
When Fedora came out I went back to Windows XP on my work laptop. As it turns out, when I moved out of consulting into engineering I was on the right OS for the product set I work with (Solaris or Windows - I don't have a Solaris laptop). As for home, my brand spanking new 15" PowerBook fully loaded is set to ship on or before 3/1. You guys lost me with the Fedora stunt.
What monitor and keyboard are you guys using? Ones you have hanging around, or are you purchasing one with the mini? If you are going with the Apple displays, would you recommend 20" or 23" one? Just curious, I'm leaning towards a PB 15".
Generally something like this manual would have a classification of FOUO (For Official Use Only). When I took the crypto correspondence course, all of the courseware was FOUO. So, about the only person(s) that could get in trouble would be those who gave it to be posted (or more accurately the last one in the DOD chain before it hit a civilian's hand). It is quite possible this was gained via a FOIA request (Freedom Of Information Act).
I have to disagree here. I use the iPod to hold my CD collection, which I've done high quality rips (using EAC) to VBR mp3's (using LAME). I'm not locked in to anything. However, I like iTunes and I like the iPod. I currently use XP Pro, but will be switching to Mac at some point in the near future. The only thing that sucks about that is having to reformat my iPod and copy everything back over again.
Anybody know of anything comparable to EAC on MacOS X? I believe LAME is already ported.
With regards to DVI... I have a work supplied Dell D800 (very nice even with 1.4GHz Pentium-M it smokes 2.8GHz P4's on certain apps). The Advanced Port Replicator does have a DVI output.
You need to get another one and mirror. Personally, I'd rather see the vendor implement RAID-5 at a minimum in the enclosure via hardware. Ideally, you would get option to do RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-5, or RAID-10, or even JBOD.
Privacy concerns notwithstanding, and since I'm not using Google Desktop on a public machine I'm not very worried... why would I bother using MS's tool? I already have one that works quite well. I assume it will get better or I'll find a better one (e.g. PDF searching, integration with Firefox/Opera, etc.).
Has anybody else noticed that SFWncurses does not install on Solaris 10b63 x86? It looks like it installs, but then you run a pkginfo SFWncurse and don't see anything. Go look at/var/sadm/pkg/SFWncurses and you will see a lock file there. Either this build isn't compatible with it, or the package is damaged. I've tried from the CD and downloading the tarball of the package from sufreeware.com.

I think this can be applied to the CPU's themselves. My very unscientific observation has been that a 1.4GHz Pentium-M spanks a 2.8GHz P4 on one web based application I work with. I have to say I am very pleased with the 1.4GHz Pentium-M and feel no burning desire to upgrade my Latitude D-800 to a faster one. It is plenty fast for me, and I suspect it's power draw is less than the faster ones.
Tough! The poster said they would hire US Citizens. That is perfectly within their rights, and may even be required depending on the scope of work (think contract work for the U.S. Government).
If you don't like it, start your own company and have different hiring policies.
Actually, if you had read it carefully you would have noted Anand got an ATI graphics card with 64MB of RAM. Mac OS X offloads the graphics stuff to the GPU. Had he purchased a better video card he would have had a much better experience. I don't understand why he went cheap on the graphics when he got a top-of-the-line machine.
I use the Linksys router with 2 phone ports on it. It does QOS. This router occasionally goes in to lala land (both phone line lights go dark and no traffic flows even though the data lights are blinking - power cycle fixes that).
I think this was related to their order processing system. I believe they were switching/merging to one ERP platform and mis-executed. A bunch of executives got whacked.
This guy is NOT stupid or clueless. He sold broadcast.com to Yahoo for cold hard cash and became a billionaire in the process. He is STILL a billionaire. How many other dot commers can claim that?
He does what he wants. He has a passion for basketball so he bought the Dallas Mavericks. He takes care of his players (they have an awesome arena to play in that is decked out in technology to include individual DVD players in the locker rooms for each player). He doesn't take crap off the refs or the NBA, and has been fined enough to show it. I respect him for that. He doesn't whine about it.
While we can nit all day long about what he said in his blog, the upshot is that storage media and capacity are in a high rate of change right now. He is not advocating the status quo, but doing something different. That is his trademark. Discount him at your peril.

Evolution is a theory. I am not aware that it has ever become a Law.
Hmmmm... why didn't you just say can we have a Beowulf of these? :-)
That is really interesting. I thought Sun was building these themselves. Perhaps I'm mistaken.

Why is this Flamebait? It should have been modded Funny. Too bad I don't have any Mod points. Maybe I'll get to Meta-Moderate this.

Hopefully this will end up at +5 Insightful. You just gave a short concise lesson on negotiation.

I wonder if that new dual-core G4 could be behind the rumors of a dualie G4 PowerBook...

I got Vonage for a business line (now that I'm home more often). My cell phone would cut out on conference calls.

Every song on my iPod is an MP3 ripped from one of my personally owned CD's. He can kiss my a**.
