Anyone have any experience with building a Firewire RAID box with the $90 2 drive enclosures available at Fry's (and elsewhere)? I'm curious to hear reports on that.
Another thing we tried at our old company was "demos" at the end of every phase (phases were two weeks) where we had to show and explain to the rest of the dev team what we coded that phase- this greatly reduced bad design and was akin to your peer reviews, but we just gathered up the whole dev team and spent a morning doing it. It sounded like a waste of time but it significantly helped, because everybody understood how every component of the system worked.
Absolutely! This overcomes one of the biggest problems working on big teams, too.
Adding a terminal app, compiler, editor, and source doesn't make a student *have* to know about using or maintaining a computer, but gives them the option to learn more if they choose to do so.
Is there a good HOWTO for that? Sounds like a configure-once and install-everywhere approach would be a good way to spread the use of Debian, but I'm a little unclear how that would work. Disk mirroring?
A better attitude for corporations is responsibility to _stakeholders_ not just shareholders. Stakeholders include customers, third party relationships, employees, and the local community. Add those to the mix, and corporate direction is no so single minded...

When you say the phone is "unlocked", what are you referring to?
Thanks!

And the EverQuest phone game looks nothing like EQ for PC, it's a simple 2D top-down maze game, the only thing they have in common is the logo.
Great idea, but wouldn't folks just download the ROMs for free?
match.com looks like a web frontend to the old Matchmaker service. How much of that is AOL code?

>Cost? One engineer 3/4 time and a small rackmount server attached to a bunch of filers.
What are filers? NAS boxes?

Have a resume handy? : )
Ok, but what would you use for a portable power source?

Oh, duh, I see what you mean now. Thanks!
Hey, A,
Which game machines?

Wow, hadn't heard about the foreign language stuff slowing the system down. Is there a way to take those out post-install? : )
Jason
What version of the OS are you running now?
Cheers,

It was actually really cool and easy to use.

I'm working on it.
Beyond 2
The only problem is they dropped support for it, so it won't run on Win2k, will it?
This might sound like flamebait, but it's a serious question.
I'm curious, given than one can run X11 apps on OS X with Fink if one *really* needs to, what X11 apps are worth porting to OS X / Aqua?
I mean, there are plenty of Unix apps critical to have, python, perl, apache, postgresql, etc, but which X11 apps need to be ported?
Thinking... There is the Gimp, Sodipodi, Dia. Mozilla is already ported.
Rather than working on an X11 API for Quartz, how about incorporating a Display Postscript API and AppKit framework in Gnome or KDE?
Jason
Agreed. I love what the FSF is doing, but they have no sense of poetry or marketing.
Especially not multiple beta apps.
Where are you buying your Intel rackmount systems?
