I just don't see the point of Crossover Office for a platform on which MS-Office is already available.
The difference is that Mac Office isn't quite the same product as Windows Office. Mac Office consists of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage. Want Access or Project or Visio? Sorry, not going to happen (though there are comparable non-MS applications, such as FileMaker Pro for Access, or OmniGraffle for Visio). So I could see reasons that a Mac user might want to run Windows Office.
MacSSH is an SSH client only, not a server. Mac OS 9 has no command line shell to log in to. Your best bet is to set up a VNC server on the Mac and use that.

I actually do run Gentoo on an old machine. In my case it's an 8 year old 160MHz PowerPC 603ev with 96MB of RAM. It took a little while to get going, but it wasn't too bad. Stage 3 install, and it built Apache, PHP, and MySQL in under 24 hours. I run it as a server, so it doesn't have X on it, which saved some time. There's always the GRP from which you can install binary packages.
It definately did seem to be anti-Firefox to me. They seemed to prefer even Netscape 8 over Firefox, somehow managing to make it sound decent. They make automatically rendering a lot of sites with the IE engine sound like a good thing:
During normal surfing the browser will use IE's engine (due to its maximum compatibility) but it will switch to Firefox when visiting a shady site.
It almost sounds like you're a bad person if you visit a site that causes Netscape 8 to switch to Gecko.
But my favorite five words, which stand on their own without any further comment from me:
What the AC is saying is since HD-DVD and BluRay both use H.264, no conversion will be necessary once one of those formats takes hold. Of course, until that happens, you'll have to do the H.264 to MPEG2 conversion, which will take a while.
I for one hope that the MacOS X version properly supports the middle mouse button
Depending on if your mouse came with any software, you might be able to fake it. With both MacMice/DVForge's MouseCommand and Logitech's Control Center, I was able to set the bindings for the middle button to send a Command-Left Click, thus generating the open in new tab event that I want.
Except that it's not consistent. I don't have Windows running at the moment to give you an example, but some programs only show one taskbar entry, while others show one for each program. Also, this only works if you know the name of the window, where as Exposé lets you pick your window based on what it looks like.
The Dock at least is more consistent -- each program gets one dock icon, and each program window shows up in a submenu if you right-click or left-click-and-hold.
Exposé is faster, in my opinion. While you have to keep pressing Alt-Tab until the window you want comes up, I press F9, click the window I want, and I'm done.
Mac OS X does offer Alt-Tab functionality between applications (but not individual windows) via Command-Tab.
I've tested it on Gentoo Linux (in fact, I was the person who submitted the bug report to have the ~x86 keyword added to it's Portage ebuild, it was previously just ~ppc), and while the agent runs and is seen by the Mac OS X Client (the machine submitting the job to the Xgrid), I wasn't able to work out the problem of Linux x86 versus Mac OS X Mach-O binaries -- the script on the webpage didn't work for me.
The TSA would probably have some difficulty shutting down Airliners.net, seeing as it's in Sweden. Furthermore, airliner photography is perfectly legal in the US, and even TSA reps have said so. Usually the only people with a problem with it are the rent-a-cops.
The only "decay" in software should happen as a result of changing business requirements.
Exactly. This software would have failed the month after it was installed if Comair had needed to do 32,001 changes in that month. But when it was installed, Comair wasn't that big, so having to do that many changes was not something that was considered. Now that Comair has grown considerably, the business requirement has changed but the application has not kept up.
Yes, Gentoo for Mac OS X would really be better called Portage for Mac OS X. I haven't used it though, since I've found DarwinPorts meet my needs before Gentoo for Mac OS X existed.

Hopefully, these guys will be as welcome in the technology industry as Carl Icahn and Frank Lorenzo are in the airline industry.
Actually, there is one. They started out as a video on demand service but now have a conventional channel as well.

Not to mention HFS/HFS+ support is an option for the Linux kernel itself. I've made use of it on both x86 and PowerPC Linux machines.

You misspelled Longhorn.
Somebody get one for Asa and Ben. :)

The browser features clean looks
For the record, Mac OS 9 included both IE and Netscape Communicator.
Earlier rumours said that 8.0 was going to be based on Internet Explorer.
It sounds like you're thinking of the AOL Browser, which is based on IE.
Oh great, more crap getting in the way of the show.
They didn't even backport them to Windows 2000...
about:config
javascript.enabled = false
That will avoid all JavaScript vulnerabilities.
Oh wait, you want the web sites you visit to work?
