Actually a number of electronics manufactures have pledged support for Rendezvous and Apple is going to Open Source it.
Zoom, nope there was no third party app to do it. The last one was inLARGE and that wasn't updated in years.
Other stuff I forgot:
Preview updated
Refined UI elements
Enhanced Terminal
iChat (AIM client)
Keep in mind I'm only mentioning the changed stuff.
FYI, the Personal Firewall thing is the same iffw in the BSDs, Apple built a front end for it in 10.2.
Note: MS doesn't include a decent magnification system in Windows (Magnify doesn't cut it). ZoomText Xtra Level 1 costs $395 (taken from A Square product page)
Okay, if Zoom is so easy to do, why don't you write such an app?
10.2's $129 is the upgrade price as what else would you run it own but, a Mac.?
Let me explain something to you
System 1-6: Free System 7: $99 system 7.5: $99 System 7.5.1-7.5.5: Free if you had 7.5 System 7.6: $99 MacOS 8.0: $99 MacOS 8.1: $19.99 (for CD) or free to download update, price assumes you had 8.0 MacOS 8.5: $99 MacOS 8.6: $19.99 (for CD) or free for download, price assumes you had 8.5 MacOS 9.0: $99 MacOS 9.0.x - 9.2.2: $19.99 (for CD) or free for Download, assumes you had 9.0 for price. MacOS X 10.0: $129 MacOS X 10.0.x: Free download MacOS X 10.1: $19.99 (for CD) or a free download, assumes had 10.0.x MacOS X 10.2: $129
I'd say they are consistent about only charging for major updates.
I'd consider the current price about right considering inflation.
They were allowed in school when I was in high school (graduated in 1994)
The only place contractions are discouraged in most placed is really formal flowery writing.
As for College, I'm sponsored by NTID (National Technical Institute for the Deaf) and never had a problem with using contractions. The rule of thumb is contractions are allowed everywhere except really formal flowery writing.
Unless you happen to know Human Interface design yourself anyway.
You could also ask someone who is a designer to pitch in on a part time basis.
In any event it isn't so much the money as employing the people that makes it expensive.
In other words I challenge the Free Software zealots to come up with said designers or learn it themselves as this is a direct challenge to their ideology. I can imagine some Free Software advocate screaming "Free" everything. Well this is their chance to prove it.
Oh well, at least this time I'm not in negative territory.:sigh:
In any case, the post I was replying to said s/he was trying to get them off Windows 98 as they complained it was slow and and they only used Email and the web. For that sort of thing, any user friendly OS will do but, most GNU/Linux distros aren't it.
This is the sort of thing an iMac is designed for.
If I'm getting a service cfrom them I take my business elsewhere.
If it is an employer, I flatly tell them no, even if I have to find another job as I'm not about to cripple myself for their benefit. Especially since, I'm discriminated against enough as it is.
I have a problem with GNU/Linux just coping the look from another OS (Be it Windows, Mac, whatever).
It pretty much say to me that the people who do GNU/Linux development have no creative streak (other than perhaps with creative coding of source code). Copying another OS's look is the lazy way out and also can land you in court.
Why don't you do some real human interface work and develop a new look?
After all, are you just trying to turn GNU/Linux on the desktop into a Windows clone with a different set of underpinnings?
Unless of course you are dead set on getting them a GNU/Linux machine in which case I pity you as although GNU/Linux is a nice server OS it isn't the best in the usability department for a desktop OS, yet.
Considering what they do, I would just get them a Flat Panel iMac.
Technically, if you just repackage a public domain work you can't really call it original and thus can't copyright it (or aren't supposed to be able to).
Apparently someone somewhere is ignoring the spirit of the law as copyright was intended to be used.
Did you know no one has copyright to Lovecraft anymore as Lovecraft never game the publisher who claims to have the right more than maybe four of his stories and that wasn't to the publisher at all but, to a magazine they bought later.
Slashdot Mirror
I forgot to mention that Apple has done other Open Source Projects other than Darwin:
There is other stuff but, you wouldn't care about it as that existed elsewhere, hmmmm?

In 10.2?
Here is a quick list:
I probably forgot something. You can read Apple's page on this.
Nope.
10.2 is not a service pack.

Nope.
Power On Bought Now Software which was failing at the time and that is where Now Contact & Up-to-Date came from.
Power One made a generous offer to ACT! holdouts when Symantec dropped support (they hadn't updated it in years before dropping support)
FWIW, Symantec has a long history of buying companies just to kill a product (MacTools, etc.)
If they can't talk to a lawyer then this law will be shot down the moment that that issue goes to the Supreme Court.

Yes and no.
It depends what they are being hired for. If it is DB administration then you would be right.
Or Systems Administration for that matter.
However, GUIs do have their place. They aren't crutches at all so much as different uses.
For example you don't want your creative departments running CLIs. Also keep in mind the people who use CLIs are very technical.
As I said it depends on what you are doing.
ISOs are big aren't they?
SuSe does provide an FTP installer on their FTP server.
Hell, all the code is there.
The only thing they don't provide you is ISOs. Big deal, want a CD? order one.
Sun should sell StarOffice for MacOS X if they are really interested in selling it for education otherwise why bother.
FYI, lots of schools use Macs.
If they were going after Dell there then I can understand but, you can't beat Dell at the cost game.
Actually, I was on co-op during the summer and will be again this summer.
Nowhere did I sign such a form.
What I would do:
1. Turn myself into a Fembot
2. Become Empress of a nation
3. Get a set of fanatical followers

I was trying to be helpful.

I personally refuse to sign such things.

How about getting a Mac for them?

FYI, Sun developed OpenFirmware and it is an open standard that anyone can implement.
Has a built-in Forth interpreter.
I don't think so.
There was the eMachine & other lawsuits based on Trade dress (Apple won BTW).
There was also the old Franklin Apple ][ clone that Apple sued out of business.
But, no clone maker of Macs other than the ones that were licensed (Apple bought Power Computing)
Part of the reason for this is for tracking issues.
each serial number is unique. Out of warranty stuff will be helped with but, you have to pay for it out of pocket.
There is a difference with Apple as opposed to IBM.
Apple actually makes the OS that shipped on the machines and no clone would be a real clone unless it ran the same OS so, that won't happen.
Interesting.

um, I think the poster said he/she created the work in question.
:-/
Meaning they made the music and recorded it and thus own the copyright since they MADE the music.
This is the same as making your own graphics yourself using Photoshop or pen & paper and scanning it in (or source code, whatever)
I mean you can't infringe yourself
Now, if the poster meant sharing bought music then you would have a point but, that wasn't how I read it.
Christian generally means Catholic when used in this context.
I'm not the poster but, that is the intention.
The others are generally referred to as Protestants, Orthodox, etc.
Where did the post say anything Nazi related?
(Oops that word here, does that count? If so, you are just as out of it as ESR.)
