Agreed. 90% of "online" newspapers just replicate the print edition on the web. They really don't get it. The web is about multimedia...
Single-picture online news articles aren't much better, thats still basically what you get in the offline newspaper. The web makes it possible to have full galleries of photos for each story, which could all be set up in an automated fashion. There is no excuse.
It is unfortunate that they decided to announce this and distribute (invalid) fink.info files on their own, rather than waiting until the package was accepted into the fink distribution.
Yes, even with the binary installer one of the install steps is to add "source/sw/bin/init.csh" to your.cshrc (or.tcshrc, etc). That script adds any env vars that packages set as well as the fink paths to your path.
Except of course for the fact that this solution doesn't cost less. Better equipped Apple-branded G3 systems can be found on ebay for the same price - systems that include case, HD, motherboard, power, etc. Terra's just selling a mobo!
Totally wrong. iDVD is *NOT* a free download. That's just a small iDVD 2.1 updater. See the system requirements:
iDVD 2.0 or later.
Mac OS X, v10.1.3 or later.
Any Power Macintosh G4, G4 iMac, or eMac equipped with a built-in Apple SuperDrive (DVD-R/CD-RW drive).
Minimum of 256MB of RAM installed with 384MB recommended.
The iDVD DVD (it comes on DVD) has well over a gig of data on it, and you will only find it for download on warez servers.
You need to perform the fink 10.2 update. Apple removed the -C option in jaguar which broke fink's man wrapper. (which is no longer needed in 10.2 anyway)

You know, there are these neat things now called USB hubs. You don't need to add PCI cards to add USB devices any more. Just thought you'd wanna know.
Many, Many USB devices say not to use them with a hub. Says right on the box to plug it directly into the computer. Particularly USB audio devices. If you have even more than one of these devices, you need a card, because the other jack will be for the extension to your hub.. Macs only have 2 usb jacks on the back.
What does he mean with getting rid of Quit and Exit options? Should it (bad idea for obvious reasons) auto-close when I change the application or should they just never close (whoa - look my memory run out).
On an OS with a decent virtual memory system, a decent runloop model (callback based, no polling - ie not OS 9) and with applications that don't do processing in the background, leaving them running does not have any negative impact.
For example, just about any Cocoa app on OS X should be left running. They take zero CPU time, and their RAM will eventually be paged out when it is needed for other apps. Speed will not be affected, except for the better the next time you want to use that app - it will be faster because you won't need to launch it (you'll just wait for the ram to page in, which is far less disk access than a normal launch).
Only downside is it takes up a space in your dock...
haves like the old MacOS. Sadly enough, menus
in MacOS X now work like the ones in Windows.
Are you sure? It seems to me that OS X does it pretty well. If you move the mouse "Down" it goes to the next menu, but if you move it diagonally, you get to go to the menu and you get a healthy amount of leeway in speed to do so. Fast or slow.
There is a tiny delay before it opens, is that what you refer to?
I don't think many US folks have heard of this one yet since its on so late. (sunday 11:30 PM UPN here..) Currently in US syndication is this british show starhunter.
One of the cool things i noticed in the last ep is that they take relativity into account - the bounty hunter captain talking to his supplier mentioned that what was 3 weeks to them on the ship was 4 years to the folks back home.
Have the guys on the ISS (or indeed any space mission/station) ever used the 'cold hard vacuum' of space to get their systems running cool and fast.
Yes, they do. They aren't experiments, they are in fact how the space station works. On the last mission they brought up 3 more ammonia radiators.
These work by taking water which runs past the electronics, exchanging that heat to liquid ammonia, which out the truss, and through these huge metal radiators which then radiate the heat to space. They have to use ammonia because the water would just freeze if it went through the external radiators.

And it transfers with USB 2.0, which is both faster than the iPod's FireWire..
USB 2 is not faster than firewire in the real world. USB 2's 480 is max *burst* transfer rate, while FireWire's 400 is *sustained*. All benchmarks of USB2 vs. FireWire confirm this.
The most interesting part of the article, IMO was down towards the bottom:
"This is the first time in animals where a mutation has been found that leads to the identification of a new gene, rather than analyzing a known gene to find its mutation," said Jirtle. "As scientists, we are missing many genes and their mutations by using the traditional approach of linkage analysis to locate and analyze candidate genes."
This new technique could lead to lots of new discoveries, it seems...
Congress Merge
offers tables linking zip codes to congressional and/or state legislative districts and congressional databases
Data can be provided either as a text (flat) file or an Access database
So there you go.. A flat text file could easily be imported into mysql surely.
Presumably "cee-forms" you mean the same thing as "Lug" connectors, big metal blocks with a square screw on the top. Very common in the film industry (along with camlok). Better hope its off when you want to unscrew one of those...
Also used in the film industry are all sizes of 3-pin Bates connectors. Those are pretty good, except for the huge sparks that can fly when you plug or unplug one of the 220 suckers on a hot 20k. Don't do that. Also the hard plastic connector can break sometimes when dropped on concrete, which happens when rigging lights.
You are talking about the old apple. This article has nothing to do with "standards" and file specs, but with third parties modifying apple's software without apple's consent (iDVD).
Apple these days is tremendously pro-standard, witness: zeroconf, bluetooth, 802.11, usb, firewire, MPEG4, UNIX, etc. The company that creates incompatible "standards" for their own gain is over ----> there.

Ahem. This is DirecTV. They offer many digital audio only channels, as well as video: See Here. No commercials, no eye off road.
It is unfortunate that they decided to announce this and distribute (invalid) fink .info files on their own, rather than waiting until the package was accepted into the fink distribution.
Its jaguar only.. might not work on 10.1.

Compiles fine on Mac OS X. Just add:
typedef int socklen_t;
to the top of SSocket.h
and change:
-lcrypt
to
-lcrypto
in the Makefile.

Well, you're in luck. (maybe). According to Think Secret, ATI is developing an All-In-Wonder card for the mac.
I seem to recall that they were having "fading" problems with the OLEDs - the colors fade. Is that device you got in 2001 still bright?
Nope. Apparently NPTL is Four times faster than NGPT.

Indeed - in fact the APSL is OSI Approved. So it is just fine.
