A PC? Yeah, an old, slow PC is just fine for reading e-mail, web surfing, and word processing. I mean, it was just fine when it was brand new cutting edge technology 3 years ago, right? How much faster can you type on a new machine? But why use Windows if you don't have to? An eMac is just fine for the same. If'n you don't like it, spend a few extra bucks on a better model -OR- buy a Win-Tel box and suffer incessantly from malware with other Windows users -OR- install Linux and suffer incessantly from esoterica with the other Linux users. Oh? You're a Linux expert? Great! Give it to YOUR grandmother and she can call YOU when she has to compile her own drivers for that scanner she bought last night! There are two things that will make old ladies say the F-word: 1) trying to figure out how to use make or 2) another old lady saying "bingo."
I'll give mine a cheap-ass eMac. She won't know the difference except that it will work--maybe a bit slower, but so is she.
While anybody who trashes John C. Dvorak is OK in my book, I would disagree with this author's assessment of the eMac and I would agree as well. Underpowered? For A/V editing or number crunching, I would agree but for it's primary target market of education, I think that it's fine--or used to be. Word processing and web surfing don't require that much snap and pop. It's pretty much the same machine as an iBookG4. However, I would say that it's past time for Apple to update or jetison this model--the G4 processor is old news. I would expect to see Apple announce an update to this product to the G5 class at January's Macworld Expo or it will die a quiet little death.
...kinda cool. But I certainly wouldn't do it with a Mac under warranty. I'd wait for a 3 yr old iBook to play with it first. Then again, I'm not so good with modding electronics. Ask my dad about the "time machine" I made with our family TV.
All you guys pissing about with "this is old" or "so what" are missing the point...this was innovation and the photos are quite unique considering the time period. Check out the design on the kites. Don't be such 4th graders...oh, wait. This is slashdot--you probably are 4th graders.
Let's not get TESTE over this issue. At first GLANS, this might be a very scary prospect, but there's a VAS DEFERENS between damage and infertility. I believe the Finnish andrologist, Dr. Skro Tümm, did the SEMINAL work on this area of study.
I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself.

His business name is "quickquid.com" -- he obviously got wind of Apple's TM registration and decided to squat hoping to sell/extort for big bucks. If this were a pesonal website, I'd probably be booing Apple for picking on little guys. But this site is A) Rubbish and B) not even close to anything to do with the word "iTunes"
One poster cited that Apple registered the trademark long before this manky twit put up that aweful site. I predict that Apple will win this one.
"Red Hat's Linux" sounds like it's referring to their distro of it to me. Linux is a generic term--I think the author intended to pair them rathern than make them mutually inclusive. And he's right--in the enterprise, Red Hat's version of Linux is pretty damn strong. Cheer. It's a good thing.
Spin, marketing, or whatever you call it. Welcome to the world of business. If you haven't noticed, the best product doesn't win--the marketing does. VHS vs Beta. Fight the battles you can win--the ideological battles being waged out there are not always the smartest ones to fight. I think this is one of them. Be happy Linux is on that list--split hairs later. Let the big companies who *like* linux spin it however they want.
Did Wil ever have a crush on Gates McFadden or Counselor "Cleavage" Marina Sirtis or Denise "Centerfold" Crosby?
It probably wasn't easy going through puberty around all that hottiness on the set. Then again, I'm probably the only one who had a thing for Dr. Crusher.
On the Server end of things, it might be more competitive but I think it probably WON'T compete well on the desktop as Linux has the advantage for broader hardware support. When Sun killed its X86 Solaris support, they gave up alot of this ground (and any future interest in it) to Linux. There seems to be a much more interest from makers like nVidia to develop linux drivers next to their PC and Mac cousins.
Maybe "open source" will help close the gap, but Linux is definitely ahead in that arena.
Maybe if Sun's hardware gets a bit cheaper, that might help, too.
The clickity sound reminded me of my 2nd grade classes where someone in near the projector had to hold their finger just right or the whole thing would go nuts.
Ya gotta have goals. I suppose this guy aspires to be either the owner of the world's largest music collection or the first man publicly and savagely raped by the RIAA legal team.
Either way, he can still spell his namd "L-o-s-e-r"
ATTN: King of Music: Dude...all day downloading music? Isn't there something better to do with all that time?
Let's do a quick calculation---900,000 songs.
3.5 minutes each on average. 3.15 million minutes of music.
That's 52,500 hours or almost 6 years.
You could get 3 masters degrees; become a doctor or lawyer; travel around the world; or even troll every slashdot post. But you choose to sit at your computer doing nothing but downloading music?
I think there is something silly about the critics (and wanna be critics) finding funny faults with something that isn't "so believable" about movies like this.
You can suspend disbelief about the super strength, the elasticity, the super speed, and invisibilty of cartoon characters but you have a hard time with they straw-man villain of the story?
Hello?
It's called "EN-TER-TAIN-MENT" --say it with me.
Save that kind of criticism for Start Wars: Revenge of the Sith
...part of the scientific process is to explore a theory and try to accept it as fact or debunk it as false.
Studying this sort of stuff with a legit process isn't a bad thing. People will be laughing at our "science" 100 years from now, so don't get yer panties in a wad about curiosity and exploration of the unknown.
...get pissed when they use it to spy on you!
This kinda reminds me of the Time Machine scene in Napoleon Dynamite...he he
These methods are pretty good ways to kill a system. However, I found that a large electromagnetic field generated by an old bulk eraser produces similar results in just seconds! Man, was my cube mate pissed!
I don't have screenshots, though. I think I'm sterile, too.

It's sort of like being the test dummy at a proctology school--but it pays less.
I feel like Paul Harvey should be saying, "...and now you know......the rest of the story..."

You're sick, man. Can I browse your collection?
OK, William O. Genovese, you need to take a lesson from the drug dealers--don't sell to cops. Know your customers and work your way up to big time.
Next time, don't try to sell that sh*t on eBay, you crack monkey!

Some of these protocols pre-date MicroSoft.
They're bluffing. Unlike SCO, they have plenty of legal money to bring any challengers (legit as they might be) to their knees.
I predict a great disturbance in The Force.

Read "legal and management concerns" as "We're tired of DDoS attacks and getting rooted by people who know more about *nix than we do."
