If the PowerBook has been renamed to the MacBook, does that mean the PowerMac will be renamed the MacMac?
I suspect that the PowerBook was renamed to remove the association with PowerPC that the word "Power" in the name provided. This leads me to beleive that the PowerMac will be renamed once the Intel switch reaches it. Place your bets on what it will be named!
When I first began using a Linux I did not have the skill to change from KDE to Gnome, but liked the functionality given by KDE in the GUI. Gnome felt aimed at people who didnt know how to configure their computer, and didnt want to know. With KDE I was able to learn the CLI but fall back on the GUI when I couldnt figure it out, or didnt have the time.
The choice between KDE and Gnome was the largest factor in chosing a distrobution for me, but a distrobution that has equally good support for KDE and Gnome would allow me to use KDE while my girlfriend can keep her simple functional Gnome desktop. Most distributions feel half assed on one or the other.
Had I not been able to make the poweruser like changes to the system through the GUI while learning the ways of the CLI, as KDE allows, I may not still be using Linux to this day.
I feel the need to chime in with my cheap computer comment...
I was able to pick up a $220 dollar computer (granted after rebates) with 512MB ram, 160Gb sata drive, 16x dl dvd+-RW, amd 64 3500+. The biggest down side for me is that it says compaq:-( but the only part that was bad on it was the cheap multi card reader. Called in and they shipped me a new one same day shipping for free.
keep an eye out for those 6 hour only sales at compUSA... The key is to look at upgrades carfuly.. for 20 dollars that machine was upgraded from a 1.8GHz sempron.
To add to the logic flaw... said Mom could arrive at the door faster than the light of said computer monitor did. So rather than having more time to hide whatever is on the computer screen after she heard, you they would have less.
example:
assume: Light goes 1 foot a minute (yeah thats slow)
Mom hears "noises" 10 feet down the hall
The computer is 3 feet from the door
It takes mom about 4 seconds to walk those 10 feet (yes she is faster than light... remember this is exaggerated to prove a point)
Here is the problem It takes 3 minutes for the image on the computer to reach the door.
Therefore Mom has almost a whole 3 minutes to sit and fully take in exactly what she is seeing you do with your pants off getting cozy with that floppy drive.
I fear a virus spamming the various sms email addresses. A widly distributed virus spamming all at once could take down a huge chunk of the network if you buy this whole 165 sms/s take down.
Anyone know if cell co's run any kind of spam filtering on incoming SMS's?
Here is the response to the same question asked elsewhere. I had always wondered my self. I personally would love to have a 1Tb disk now (despite the argument that drives double every year anyway). direct link to reason
A few years back i took one of those lights with 4 poles that kind of look over and around and are ment to be screwed into a normal socket and made the same kind of thing. I just filled the space between the four sections with glow in the dark glue. It made for a nice slight green glow after the light was turned off.
I always thought it would be nice to have the entire front of the power/i book to be touch sensative. I find my self wishing i could define an area to the right to control volume and skipping forward or back in vlc, and something on the left to go forward and back between programs. Allowing full control over the size / positioning of the areas and the function could yeild some interesting mousing...
It is the Guild's objective that no member use a professional name which is the same as, or resembles so closely as to tend to be confused with, the name of any other member

There is an other product calles remoteremote2 that has been out for a while. Here is a review of it, or the store with images. It comes with a small keychain fob like the alarm ones for cars. I have wanted one so that my ipod could remain in my backpack and the controls im my pocket / hand without any wires in the way.
I personally think this is the future of computing. When bandwidth is highenough you will buy/rent a dumb terminal and get time on some server somewhere. The majority of people would be perfectly happy to be alotted an ammount of cpu time. Most of the time they will be web browsing using little cpu, but when they need it there will be massive computing power at their finger-tips. If done right it could be more cost effective than buying a computer and paying for upgrades.
I have experianced first hand the repercussions of forged from fields. For a while (and probably still i was getting many message undeliverable emails and people asking to be taken off my list when a random user at my domain was being used as the from address in spam. The hundreds of emails i got a day forced me to turn off the catch all address, and recently i got notified of a complaint about my domain by my school. Has anyone else had this happen, and how can you deal with this?

Maybe the constant pop-ups and spyware on Windows machines has kept those users mentally active?

It's because when they tried see whats posted on this /. they have been hearing about, they just were given an error by their browser... http:///..org
Mouse focus (being able to scroll a background window without losing focus on the foreground is sweeter than sex).

Maybe there is similar reason for the X here.

As would those who RTFS(ynopsis)
For some reason if you try and burn Ubuntu with Disk Utility it will crash. For those of you looking to try this out on ppc try using cdrecord.
cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=IODVDServices hoary-live-powerpc.iso
To get cdrecord try "port install cdrtools" or "fink install cdrecord". You can also try this binary if you do not have fink or darwin ports.

Now the page has been slashdotted, however I beleive they mean flash not Flash.
Ipod can use open source too....
