It's right that you do lose the nice OS X that you have payed in the cost of buying Mini, but setting up a decent consumer level i686 hardware costs just as bad as buying a Mini, but with the extra size and noise it produces.
So, unless you think you will change the hardware component, like adding new hard disk or something in later time, Mini can be a real good and silent server for Linux, OpenBSD etc, plus the nifty look.
Now, I may even consider buying it in future not for any desktop use, just to get a decent silent small server for OpenBSD.
Sorry to anyone related to the event, but I saw the chopper shot down with a missile and a survivor got killed by getting shot from people who came to check the place later on a video, but somehow I didn't feel too shocked when a guy got hit by ak47 or something and killed because I did not see any blood.
What is this? My damn mind got broken or say been grown up that way, that blood is only way to think it violent, and everything else is just like any other FPS game I've been playing...
How sad that people in current world are grown up this way...
Not just Star Wars, but many movies have blowing up big facilities which result in killing hundreds and thousands (say, the big Federation ship blown up by young anakin in episode 1), now they still rate this, so kids can view without any older people with them.
Simply put, why is that not violent? Some blood makes it violent? I wonder.
Now, these way just make people blind that blowing things up is cool and not knowing it's violent, because every adult goes 'wow, haha, yeah!, cool, yes!' when things blow up, around the kids.
Forgot another point to say, but then again, not to mention that Google is going to collect what web page people view, intead of current 'passive' way of picking the quality page, they now trying the more aggressive way of fetching the number of hits on web pages.
Now, if they don't take IP that sounds like cool, but they will and while it certainly is difficult to identify a person out of IP, they can surely tell which company is looking at what web page in particular, thus sort of telling which company is interested in what at the moment.
At this far point, it just made me think, Google is trying to control and watch the entire web, just because they fetched a lot of webpages floating around.
Just sounds like it's getting more vague where the original information is coming from.
These days, all is talked about security, like man-in-middle stuff etc, now this is getting more hard to get the proper security, if you use it.
Sounds good for average users, but it's not like system admin wants to use some public proxy for their entire web surfing, and think something may be changed or spoofed along the complicated route from the real original source to the end computer.
I use Gentoo for similar reasons, I don't care my build makes some app launch a few seconds faster, but the slim base install makes me build the system as I want without all the default thing stuffed up.
If there is a distro that is binary based but everything else is Gentoo, I consider taking that. (Of course, no more USE flag)
The speed of binary install on another machine made my jaw drop after using Gentoo for over a year...
I have a music server setup at my parents' home with tons of music encoded as flac, and I live at another place by myself and I listen there over the internet, so I don't even have to keep a single CD myself.
What I did may not help you directly, because this is a UNIX method, but if you do have UNIX, then try running nfs over those 2 points (Yes, if you really want to, put Cygwin on Window machines and you can mount them just fine or there is Service For Unix from Microsoft for free.)
Nfs is the best network filesystem that preserves the bandwidth over network imo (I run 100mbps up/down on both location and it keeps the bandwidth just fine over nfs. smb and rest just somehow cuts down the bandwidth, but may still run enough bandwidth for flacs)
But you can also try to put VPN against those 2 machines (if you got a WinXP Pro on one side, I think you can set it up as VPN server, that is if your network at your work allows the traffic), and have the home local drive exported as Windows share and mount it on the other side.
If you still can't have it done, maybe the easiest in terms of getting it up for the network is running Apache web server at home.
Once you get Apache running and have the music folder viewable from outside (maybe you want to put some password protection or something), you can just launch foobar2k or winamp and make it access to your server via global ip and have it streamed.
This is only like accessing another web server in the world, so it is very unlikely that you get network restriction.
If your IP is dynamic, you can consider getting a service like www.no-ip.com so you can have a consistent name along with your changing IP, so you can access without problems.
Glad he did it honestly, otherwise, many people gets disappointed and likely he gets less respect upon this and other claims he has been making, which in current case, he required more.
Don't know what u mean by what he deserves exactly, but for one, he let kernel devs use his big app for free for some time, and unless he said he's going to let it be used to kernel devs free forever in the first place, there's nothing wrong he pulls it back, with whatever reason he claims.
Just because someone stop giving u free snacks, u going to bash him when he won't anymore?
Go ahead.

Why is it so big news to just have 20Mb line in Australia?
It's been like that for quite a while in Japan and Japan provides faster lines at very reasonable price, like FTTH (100Mbps)
The line may be slow to overseas, because they have the bottleneck, but it does make concurrent sessions run very smoothly (like load many webpages, download multiple files at once etc)
Not sure why europe is very expensive on internet connection, but here in Japan I pay about 50 US dollars for the FTTH which gives you 100Mbit/s up and down and no bandwidth limit and no port limit, so I run some servers at home.
The ISP costs about 15 US dollars with one static IP, but there are others including which only costs 5 US dollars, but this is not static IP.
The line literally never goes down and is mostly at full speed (it gets about 50Mbit/s in real world). It's always the other end, that is choking, even on many many multiple connections at once.
On the other hand, for 8Mbit/s DSL lines, we have to pay about 30 us dollars.
Japan did a great job on cheap internet connection imo.
For people not using just ascii charactors will notice, but charactor encoding detection is way too poor as of 0.8. I hope it gets fixed by 1.0.
It should auto detect the charactor encoding, either from header or from the body and show it properly, not just having the user select what encoding everytime. And for Japanese, I have to guess out of 4 encoding every message!
Though, some messages do get auto detected, but there are mails that only body is properly decoded and not the title and such.
So, this better get fixed properly, or it'll be a big problem for many end users.
It's people like that who make things move slower.
We try to make things more compatible by making HTML and JavaScript outputted that works on many browsers and let web technology grow by trying out new technologies on web sites, but some people just don't want to move away from the current not so good situation just because THEY're happy on their own, not knowing the current situation and forgetting about the future and growth of the web.
Your machine looks secure, just because you're lucky enough not to get caught by malicious stuff, like someone who never gets robbed door lock open.
Please reconsider about the situation or at least know what's going on. The web technology/security is bogged down because of IE.
I understand it's very useful to have client validation of data before it gets sent to server as it reduces the load on network and on server, but you must still know that clients can't always be trusted thus, this technology does not take away the task that server has to verify for the data as well, since some unknown client may just send data ignoring the verification process on client side.
XForms from the above post looks like adding what was missing in HTML form, as making a workaround to patch the holes. Hope it's not just that but some radically thought out technology.
Good to see Mozilla people taking their time to put innovative technology into their browser suits.
It's getting our problem to be able to have these technologies wide spread as it's us who don't switch to Firefox after all =) OK, I admit average users don't know what Firefox or Mozilla is...
Since no one mentions it everytime, I'll paste what's significant about SVG I commneted a while ago on slashdot. Sure flash works, is deployed in wider audience, but simply lacks the following stuff.
From what I understand, SVG is superior to flash because,
1. Not only human, but machines(web robots etc) can read information on graphical content of a web page if SVG is used, because the file is presented in a human readable file as xml text file, opposed to flash delivered in binary format which you can only know what it is by loading it on specific applications.
2. File size is notably smaller compared to images presented as a binary format, because the rules of the graphic/animation is written as a text file. Although if you embed an existing image file, that will make the entire SVG bigger than just lines of xml code, of course.
3. SVG is an open and standardized format, so many applications may adopt the format(Editor, viewer, converter etc).
4. After all, it's XML:) Interoperability, it has.

It would just fill some gap, when people start working enthusiastically after watching the positively reviewed sequel to the decade lasted episodes.
Use 4 hours to go watch it, maybe people can catch up, think of something interesting in the job etc, when they come back to their jobs next day.
Some positive thinking...
Just to add my own experience.

Well, I've said it everytime this 'what is SVG' question comes up, but here goes from my own comment how practical it can be beyond just image format.

Last time I tried out the version 2.0 beta, they finally dropped putting tons of files in the zip with setup.exe in the bottom of the long list.
It was more like 10 files with setup.exe visible as the user opens up the zip folder.
You can do whatever with your x86, but apple has rights on how the Mac OS be used as written on EULA.
Don't know why you need to shout about default look. Just change it in preference. It's not locked up.
Apple has EULA that violates having Mac OS run on other hardware than theirs. It's their rule, it's their product, you don't just ignore it.
So, does having it developed under open source make everyone close eyes on the PearPC side?
Of course, on top of that CherryOS seems to be violating GPL, if they're stealing code out of PearPC.
Wow, please be unbiased.
Now, when Apple does it closed systems, it becomes secure?
If it's for MS it's all about insecure, Linux is secure.
You can't tell if it's completely secure or not without source code (only darwin is).
Now, is it not biased?
Try RadioToolBox for php based or mod_mp3 for apache module based.
Or if you can write some php code, it's not so hard to write one up yourself.
Just list the files in a music directory and create playlist(pls or m3u) upon click.

Besides, if you're dying for being poor, it's one way to get money.
If you're happy with your life to some extent, I don't think you want to do this.

I'm sure mozilla team is working on it.
I haven't tried it extensively, but there's another VNC that derived from UltraVNC called MetaVNC.
You may want to check this out too.
