I am a died in the wool mac fan, this is true, so how could i be objective, good question. I am also an ex microsoft employee, that no longer uses windows ( being an ex employee makes me uniquely un-objective;) )
I would contend, if you take windows XP and MacOS, you get a much more stable useable user experience out of a Mac.
A Mac at half the speed is 200% worth it, in my completely objective opinion.

ironic
adj 1: humorously sarcastic or mocking; "dry humor"; "an ironic remark often conveys an intended meaning obliquely"; "an ironic novel"; "an ironical smile"; "with a wry Scottish wit" [syn: dry, ironical, wry]
Seems to me most sites are by definition un-objective.
The only site i might trust is OS news maybe wired and that is just a maybe.
On the other foot, who cares, at half the speed MacOS X + mac hardware is far superior to windows on a PC. If it is 5% slower at some tasks while being stable, virus free,capable, etc.. B.F.D.
you are free of Microsoft's hegemony, the hardware is much more reliable the OS always works with the hardware the hardware gets faster with each new release of MacOS you get a useable GUI inside of a UNIX variant that can run alot of commercial and relevant applications
being a bit of an OSX zealot i disagree, if you want open source and a useable GUI you only have one choice that is OSX. (it is a proprietary GUI but not nearly as bad of a black box as MFC/Windoze.
Apple studies the user experience from the on switch to the way the windowing system reacts to different types of input. Apple is the Ferrari of computer Systems.
Linux is not a lowest common denominator solution and wont be for some time. Linux is free and uncontrollable, which makes it alot more inconsistent requiring more maintenance etc, etc...
in this sense linux is on the other end of the spectrum from the Macintosh with windows somewhere in between.
Unlike other OS manufacturers apple can and does consider the entire experience. Controlling the software and the hardware allow them to deliver a solution that 'Just works'
Windows is getting closer to this Nirvana but will always be just outside of the gate to the city of compatibility until they start their own hardware company and become the true monopoly bill wants them to be.

would PC world be objective? How about ZDNet ?

Yes but we all know VI is far superior to EMACS !!

If person A understands the spec and XML well, writes a spec for person B, C and D to implement.
Person B, C and D go off and write filters without direct knowledge of micro$oft XML.
Person A judges the results without touching any code and picks a winner.
I believe this is fully legal and there is nothing MickeySoft can do to stop it.
The only way m$ gives people what they want, is by looking to their competitors and ripping off their ideas (Dr. DOS, Netscape, word perfect, etc.. ) .
Constant feature bloat does not lead to a secure product.
most UNIX variants have it right, provide a solid securable platform for developers, not a competitor for developers.
Resistance is futile !!

suck all the oxygen out of a market and as soon as M$ is the only one left in the space they get out...

oh yeah wait too late for that ( http://maccentral.macworld.com/news/2003/06/13/ex
If SCO didnt want to screw with Linux as they claim, they would post the offending code and the opensource world could replace it and move on.
instead SCO is hunting to make more money where they can find it.
Such sweethearts.
Has anyone noticed if this is more or less stable than the 7A179 release was ?
sounds like fishing to me,
"our case is so strong, but we won't give details so it can be rectified"
"we dont want to be bought out, but we will threaten IBMs customers"
""We dont want people pissed off at us, but we may sew every linux vendor out there"
Linux is going to come out of this much stronger and known than when SCO started.
i agree, it is a K-chassis, but why does my mom need to know or even care about what a K-chassis is ?
An apple is for people that have other things to do than tune an OS and keep all of its moving, evolving parts functional.
Apple provides an experience to the end user.

hmm... not very broad support either
Red Hat 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0
SuSE 8.2
I wonder if we can ever expect ximian to support OS-X sometime in the future.
Yet another fine service brought to you by your friends a microsoft...
I would be happy if i could use CUPS to print directly to PDFs instead of a printer.
something like "man -t iostat |lpr" would produce a nice PDF instead of printed output.
hmm, I kindly disagree with you
this doesn't look like a ground breaking design for a remote. it is more like a box of buttons and an LCD.
1. open a terminal and type
:) ) keep it close for reference.
/Volumes/MacDrive -erase
/Volumes/MacDrive -erase
man -t asr
(this will print the man page to your default printer)
2. read this manpage (then read it again
3. setup a system in the way you want it to be cast, OS9, OSX and all your applications then make a disk image of it. (see the man page)
4. boot to OSX via, NetBoot, or an external firewire drive.
5. Cast this image either via http or local file system.
#local filesystem method, pretty fast over firewire
asr -source Library.dmg -target
(watch out for the trailing slash on the target drive)
#Network over a webserver
asr -source http://10.5.5.1/images/foo_science_lab.dmg -target
This sounds likes a cheap half hearted hack ,compaired to the iTunes music store.
If i buy it, i will make a device copy of it.
/bin/dd a DMCA violation ?
something i dont nomrally do.
will this make the use of
does this PDF have a mirror, or an HTML link ?
