Sorry, the only DVD drive I own is my PlayStation. Sun generally provides decent documentation, so I'm sure there is a way, somewhere (e.g., docs.sun.com, sunsolve.sun.com, google groups, etc.).
Realistically, these acronymns are the only thing that make our posts even readable/understandable.
I agree, but the constant introduction of XML-related acronyms creates a sort of attention deficit disorder among young programmers. There are so many bandwagons, right now, that it is quite mind-spinning. In fact, I'm now wondering what was so bad about plain text and CGI programs, after all.
I'm pretty sure I saw a "Collector's Edition" at Toys'R'Us recently. However, I may be mistaken about the "Wind Waker" game you mentioned. The $59.99 on the pricetag was unmistakable, either way.
Yeah, I don't even know why Sun ships that "Install CD", when the real install program is in CD1. The Install CD must be for the occasional sysadmin who needs a bib to protect his shirt from drool.
I was just about to buy a gamecube, but realized my cheap ass would have to pay more for GC games (on average). I am very used to paying less than $20 to $25 for PS2 games and was disappointed to see most GC games were still above $25 to $30. I saw $60 on the Zelda bundle and choked.
Drug dealers aren't the criminals, the legislators that pass draconian drug laws are. Drug laws are the Democrats' way of oppressing the poor that vote for them. Ironic? No, of course not. Just keep on voting for the Republican and Democratic oligarchy and live happy in your little prison cells.
For large documents, are computers powerful enough yet for full real-time schema validation in a way that isn't annoying as hell? I'm still angry over having to turn off every one of Word's magic doodads before it doesn't constantly annoy the piss out of me.
What you want is a Relax-NG Schema. DTDs only define the barest bones of XML structure. Validating against a schema lets you verify all kinds of things that a DTD can't even express.
(Don't be confused by W3C Schemas. That format stinks.)
This is why XML still sucks. The technology is volatile, even down to the schema format!
So, even after several years of not knowing what to focus on to learn how to use XML effectively, I still wouldn't know what to focus on to learn how to use XML effectively. Standard interchange my ass.
I would estimate, from purely a user's perspective, that TurboTax and Quicken are in such deep Win32 doo-doo that Wine would probably be the only option for a port. They would probably have to do a re-write to make a native port to UNIX/Linux-land.

there is quiet and then there is 'quiet'.
I'm pretty sure the official noise scale is from "fanless/diskless mini-ITX" at the low end to "Sun Ultra 60" at the high end. There is an additional scale for loud noises going from "Sun Ultra 60" to "ear next to jet engine exhaust."
heavy, stinky lining used by car stereo installers.
I'm pretty sure the heavy stuff is to increase mass for the sake of the speakers and to keep the sides of the speaker enclosure from becoming "speakers" on their own. In a computer case, some simple 1/4" open-celled foam sheet works nicely to soak up stray noise and is cheaper and easier to work with. Put some of this foam in front of high-end whiny hard drives and the difference really is noticable.
Why bother if he doesn't actually need more space?
There are other ways to invest in a house: better carpet, better carpentry, better landscaping, a privacy fence, annex neighbors' property by force, etc.
Money helps create a lifestyle. Worth is self-defined. If you look around, the most miserable are those who spend for a lifestyle beyond their means, and the happiest live within their means poor or rich (from ascetic monk to stock-market billionaire).
Interestingly, some of the traditional categories of sin are envy, lust, etc., which lines up very nicely to people to try to be who they are not.
Well, if you are a purist and don't mind a lack of drivers, you can go straight to using X11R6. This is the foundation for every UNIX vendor's windowing system, too (except for, uh, the drivers).
Microsoft is so wealthy that they might be able to lose $2200 per console until the Moon crashes into the Earth or possibly until the Sun goes nova (if we survive the moon crash, that is).
Given the cost of G5s relative to the consoles, I'd estimate that IBM will ship an ISA-compatible chip for the XBox. This way the Apple G5s will be good development workstations, and the developers can be confident that their work will port easily to the new XBox when it ships.
Regardless, I still won't buy an XBox 2 even if it has PPC chips (PPC is cool, but Microsoft loses the deal).
Sustainability goes both ways, and driving up the costs of survivability doesn't help. The free market works like the wild kingdom, because it works. Given resources, the system will sort itself out or die. The only role of government is to do as little as possible to keep it from finding the most unstable solutions, because wholesale political solutions are the most unstable of all. Propping people up on some false hope of abundance is simply setting them up to get crushed when the whole economy falls on top of them.
I'm the one with $150 and a choice. Why is there such a common attitude that there is some sort of royal system when there isn't. The DVD Forum is nothing other than a few businessmen and programmer whores, and that's it. They can stick their phone-home DVDs up their rear ends for all I care.
You don't quite get it. The fallacy of a "living wage" is that each increase in its minimum requirement is totally of a short-term benefit. The wage increases get passed right back to customers (e.g., the wage-earners themselves), so the minimum wage is nothing more than a feel-good Democrat vote-getter.
You use the word "suddenly." This is also a major huge problem with politics. People want immediate solutions, and they simply don't care about whether they are fucked five years down the road. This is what Bush did with this tax cuts, this is what Kerry will do with health care. Politicians necessarily have foresight that lasts only a few years into the future, which is why they are so dangerous to citizens and why citizens should never put much faith in the government.
Regardless, if a person is homeless, $20 in a week provides: a nicer box, soap, a new t-shirt, and one good meal. This is pretty good for someone who otherwise sifts through trashcans for food.

If they could deliver spaghetti chili via power lines, then I'd be impressed! Broadband is so passe.
If you know how to boot the DVD into CD1 mode...

I think the thousands of acronyms that came along with XML has ruined a whole generation of computer science students.

Ummmm, the 64-bit IA-64 version of Windows XP has been available for a long time. Full release version, not a demo.
What's the funniest thing about IA-64?
More bits than users.
LOL!
