Apple's Network Card drivers are designed to work with Apple branded network cards and many other similar cards (many Sonic and Asante cards). I would install these drivers as a starting point, then if they don't work try some investigating ( reading down in the comments, the card in question appears to be a Focus Etherlan II, which look familar to me as one that you can use the Apple drivers on. )
We need application integration. Some of our custom apps are written to integrate with Word and that integration doesn't function. Asking for OOo intergration? Not gonna happen.
Try this. We have many of our apps inhouse that use Word and Excel via automation that I'm strongly considering moving over to OO, especially our one vertical app that we sell that requires Word 2000/XP/2003 in order to function.

It's slightly more complicated than that...
The Easyshare cameras ( I know this cuz I have a CX4230 ) use PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) which is a standard supported by Kodak, Sony, Canon and others to offer standard way for talking to the cameras. This makes it trivial to support new cameras when the come out since you don't have to go thru the trouble of building a driver from scratch.
But the short of the answer is that it should work fine. Check out the compatiblity list to be sure, but gphoto also offers a generic driver which should work as a generic driver.
With DirecTV, you use a multiswitch. It turns a dual-LNB dish (or a dual-LNB multisat dish) into 4, 8, or more outputs.,
Do you know of any other these multiswitches that DOESN'T require a diplexer at the output end to split the antenna/cable from the satelite. I was thinking of using one of these ( and I would be only using the satelite inputs; no cable/antenna ), but that drawback is a major PITA.
My 2003 Ford Focus Factory MP3/CD Player does this fine. It even lets you organize your MP3s in directories on this disc if you want to have different playlists.
While that may have contributed to the Cube's demise ( but remember that it wasn't till 2001 that Apple had CD-RW from the factory in any of thier machines and the Cube was introduced in 2000, yet the Cube did get a CD-RW late in it's life ), the big thing was the poor value it provided. For $300 less, you could get a more expansive G4 Tower that benchmarked similarly to the Cube. It was a huge blunder by Apple.
For me, Windows says it's using around 15MB total. The memory footprint has went down considerably ( as has the download size ) in the last few weekly builds.
But I agree, the Rock Hall is a bit of a bomb and not going to Cedar Point while in the states is a crime. Make sure you make this part of your trip early in September before (a) Cedar Point closes and ( more importantly ) (b) the weather turns to shit.

Same here. After it gets your personal info, it trys to redirect to a server that isn't there. In IE, it leaves that URL in the address bar. Remove the port info and you can keep going.
Although, what I found interesting is that now the low-end G4 system has dropped to $1299. Not bad for a 1.25 Ghz G4/256/80/Combo/Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb System that's OS 9 bootable. Hopefully this offering, plus the G5 annoucement will bring a big price drop on older G4 systems.

Seriously, fundementals of programing such as if...else, for and while looping, and simple AND/OR logic is key before you can start to tackle C/C++/Java etc. Those structures are prevalent in all languages.
Sitting a kid in front of some Visual Tools will only hurt them in the long run; they miss those valuable skills that are learned at the low level of a language. It's like what MS Word is doing to writing ( don't have to spell correctly or know proper grammer, Word does that for me ) or math ( why add/subtract/multiple/divide/etc by hand when a calculator can do it for me) ; pretty soon we'll have a crop of programmers that get confused by "for (i=1; i<j; i++)" statements.
I got Quake 3 as when Microcenter had it for $3 here in Cleveland, OH. I picked up Myth 2 for $1 last week and they still have Heretic 2 and Railroad Tycoon 2 both for $5; theres alot still there so. They had Descent 3 and Civ: Call to Power, but they are all sold out.
BTW, Myth 2 seg faults immediately when I run it under Red Hat 9; anyone have any ideas on why?

Anyways, let's try to be more careful guys. I've seen the dupe count increase since April Fools Day. It's sad since there are so many people who send in articles that get rejected since they don't fit "the way we want slashdot to look today", yet these dupes get in.

The biggest asset of VFP is it's incredible RAD environment. We have several in-house systems running VFP 6/7 ( including one shipping product ) and even some older Foxpro 2.6 ( DOS and Windows ) apps. For the small business ( say 8-10 users ), VFP fits perfectly; easy to use IDE, powerful SQL language tools, integrated database, and COM interaction make it very unique not only in the windows world, but also on any platform, especially Linux. Microsoft knows this, and if VFP could run on Linux, I know one shop I could convert;->. Not letting it run helps Microsoft dominate that market.
My wife got me a used NEC Multisync XV17 back in 1999 used. About 3 months later, the screen started to get wavy and the colors would go crazy till it warmed up, then it usually was fine ( often I'd have to wack it in the side to get it working if it still was being fussy ).
Hasn't really gotten any better or worse for the 3+ years since then, till I came back from a week long vacation where I had it completely unplugged ( as opposed to just turned off ). I came back, and it seems to work better than before ( some color problems when warming up but no wavy screen ). And ironically an Apple Multiple Scan 14 on my 7100 which had color problems was fixed as well.
Lesson learned: I need to go on vacation more often.
Since all previous releases were late, this naturally made this one late as well. OS X was moving to Mach O builds and thus dropping OS 9 support from the main tree, and a lot of work with Junk E-mail filtering was going on. Plus, this nasty OS X bug crept up and stumped everyone, till about about 4 hours after Asa moved it from blocking 1.3 to blocking 1.4a ( and incidently it made it in time for 1.3 after all ).
Definitely a good idea. But don't go overboard; I like the idea of a computer room being geeky, but also look intellectual and inspiring ( but that doesn't mean the Despair pictures don't have thier place ).
I have two large 36x24 Apple Think Different Posters on my wall (Jim Henson and Cesear Chavez). It helps counter the geekiness from the many computers and parts lying around and on shelves.
So true! Although the good (open-source) vs evil (Micro$oft-activities) plot line is a bit too "Richard Stallman" for my tastes, it still is a great movie.
Although the irony is that for being a Microsoft-ique company they use GNOME + some flavor of UNIX on thier desktops (even on the daycare machines).
