Microsoft does advertise the Mac version of Office in the Mac magazines like MacAddict and Macworld. Also, the tv ads for Office likely benefit the Mac product as well.

I remember the 1999 upgrade. We were using Quicken SE at the time, and IIRC, there were Y2k issues that needed to be fixed. Intuit gave us the choice of a free copy of Quicken 98 Deluxe, or a discounted price on Quicken 2000. We went for the free Quicken 98.
This season they've started cleaning up the timeline so that the events of Enterprise can actually lead to the 23rd and 24th Centuries we already know.
Also, T'Pau (from the original series) is not Subcommander T'Pol. T'Pau actually has now been seen on Enterprise as well; she was a major character in this season's Vulcan arc.
I've thought that would be a neat idea too. In addition to totally new stories, they could do others that pick up on some of the things that have been left open over the years. To pick one example, they could follow up with the situation on Romulus, with the aftermath of Shinzon's overthrow of the Senate, and we could also what Spock has been up to.
What kind of monitor do you have? My LCD has two inputs already (one DVI and one SVGA), so when I added an AthlonXP machine to complement my G5, all I needed was a simple USB switch for the keyboard and mouse.
Office 2004 does support long file names. I just saved a blank Word document with the following name (any spaces and line breaks were inserted by Slashdot):
You don't remember correctly. Through Jaguar, it was in System Preferences. In Panther, it was moved into Safari, along with the Mail prefs moved to Mail.app.
Actually, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is pretty busy with regular rocket launches, including the Delta IV which went up last week. It's Kennedy Space Center which hasn't seen much action. Shuttle flights are scheduled for next year.
I also played quite a bit of Spectre and Spectre Supreme. Ran great on my LC II. I'm not sure, but I might have played network games of it with a Duo 230 as well.
I don't know if it's any harder to transfer these files to an iPod than the AAC's you get off iTunes, but I haven't heard any complaints about it so I'm sure it's intuitive enough.
It would work just fine. Once the music is ripped to MP3, drop it into your iTunes library and transfer it to the iPod from there.
However, it would be quicker to use iTunes itself to rip your music into your choice of formats (AAC, MP3, AIFF, WAV, or Apple Lossless). iTunes will also grab the track info from CDDB and organize the files by artist/album.
GMail provides specific directions for setting up POP access for many different mail clients, including Thunderbird:

I just checked the eMachines site. eMachines Athlon 64 notebooks look like a great deal. But they weigh 7.5 lbs. A friend of mine has one, and I noticed it was much heavier than my 4.9 lb iBook.
The nice thing is, is that if you are using Linux, Java is most likely not running as root, and therefore less likely to mess around with your OS, Or files which that user does not have access to. Therefore, it's probably hard to get something into a startup script, and to create a virus that would be around after you rebooted the computer.
A version of SuSE Linux (with help and funding from IBM) has been certified by the NSA as secure under the "Common Criteria" at about the same sort of level as Windows NT. This was on a PC I believe. No other platform for Linux, and no other distribution of Linux, has been certified.
Mac IE 5 was actually pretty good back before OS X came out. I remember when it first came out, it was reported to be the most standards-compliant browser available. The OS X version was little more than a glitchy Carbonzied version, and was soon surpassed by the likes of OmniWeb.
Personally, I prefer Firefox to Safari. I tried using it for a while, but I didn't like the way bookmarks were managed.

From the Chronicle review: I loved Firefox's pop-up blocker, which eliminates annoying ads. Microsoft should also consider offering one with its browser.
Plus users of Debian Sarge, Gentoo, Arch Linux, BSD, and any other version of Linux with a package-management system didn't download from the Mozilla site.
From a quick glance at the mozilla-firefox and mozilla-firefox-bin ebuilds, it looks like Gentoo users actually do download from Mozilla's ftp servers. So hopefully we get counted.:)
I just setup another machine with Firefox 1.0 for the firs time (Windows 2000, previously had IE 6 only) and when the popup notice came, it had the option for me to don't notify me. When I did that, a dialog box came up and said that an icon would appear in the corner when a popup was blocked. Sure enough, when I load a page that reliably tries to bring a popup window, http://mail.lycos.com/, the icon appears in the lower right corner.
Ah, I see what you are saying. That would be nice. AIM Express for example won't work with popups blocked, fortunately they have a way of detecting that their popup was blocked and print an informative error message, but not all sites do that.
I wonder if a preference for this is buried somewhere in about:config. Or perhaps this functionality could be implemented as an extension.
There should be an options button or something on the information bar where you can tell it you don't want to be notified of popups. I don't remember exactly, since it's been a while since I've had to do it.:)
Also, the OP wrote: New experimental options for controlling where links in web pages open. To make these experimental options appear, set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true in about:config.
Actually these were added in RC1, but apparantly due to bugs, they were made hidden in 1.0 and you have to do the about:config thing to show them.

And every Linux machine I've ever used, mounts external media in /mnt instead of /media.

Incorrect. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 was certified EAL2 in Feburary 2004. The certification was sponsored by Oracle. See: http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/public/consume r/index.php?menu=4&orderindex=1&showcatagories=256
Nobody makes software to the A1 standard. At least, not that anyone is admitting.
GEMSOS is a general purpose A1 rated operating system kernel.
