Go to Versiontracker and search for VirtualDesktop. This software besides giving you virtual desktops (up to 100 in a 10 x 10 grid) also enables 'focus follows mouse' which is in essence sloppy focus and works pretty damn well...
You should try embedding a symbol font link into the page and provid a download for the font library (assuming your viewers are insular and you have a nice royalty free symbol library).
Problem is Mars has also lost it's Electro-Magnetic Field so as soon as you do this the sun's radiation will blast it into space... atmosphere isn't enough. You also need the EMs of an active planet.
Again, SWF is an 'Open Standard' hence the php implementations, perl libs, etc. Macromedia only sells the premiere 'Authoring Tool' aka Flash. OSS could implement such a thing and could improve upon it by incorporating more robust scripting support.
Well they could if they wanted to but most coders think SWF is demon-spawn.
I agree SVG needs to be embedded in the VRAM chipset the way that OpenGL has been. It is every bit as process intensive via multiple matrix transformations albeit in a 2D space. So who want to start writing the OSS SVG GPU drivers?
Barring that SVG needs more than a browser 'plugin'.
While you're at it why don't you throw out the computer and just handwrite all your snail mail and take three week trips to visit a museum somewhere. Turn on talk radio and live it up with out those 'fancy' moving pictures we call TV. I love reading a good book as much as the next guy but i also appreciate a well thought out (key), GUI that expedites my acquistion of knowledge and or goods.
Flashscript is no longer the end-all be-all for swf format. FlashRemote supports many server side languages and has excellent support for XML and SQL.
I have been intrigued by SVG ever since it made it's appearance on the scene but the SVG guys seriouly need to make a leg and get moving on authoring tools which support the full gamut of capabilities, ie: this hand coding crap just won't fly in a work flow process or even for JoeAverage doing something for school.
Anyways Adobe has an SVG plugin and you can export any vector + variables + code from illustrator and GoLive as SVG. Still not an authoring tool like Flash though. Macromedia bought and innovated their way to the top of multimedia authoring a while ago and Adobe is still playing catch up in a lot of ways (coming along nicely though).
Hmmmm.. seems to me that a 28k modem will still only give you 28k. Does anyone with cable/dsl/T1 have speed issues with their web browsing? http pipelining seems more useful. If only 'the rest' of the web would cater to it.
This has been a fallacy that has urked me for a while.... now tell me how the hell do we use RADIO telescopes to do research on extraterrestrial phenomenae?
No sound in space huh?! Well, maybe nothing you or I could hear, WHILE in the VACUUM of space.
The only reason we can't hear in a vacuum is that OUR ears need a media such as air or water to carry the sound waves to them. Radio waves which BTW != "sound waves" can travel though space or a vacuum just fine. Again this is why we can 'listen' to natural events like supernovas via our radio telescopes.
This fine chap is looking for ad rotation code which uses demographics, personalized content info, region targeting, etc. to SERVE ADS to his viewers.
So try to stick to providing details on OSS initiatives in Java or similar OO languages which does the forementioned.
Personally, I'm not sure if I want businesses to have really good OSS Ad serving software but if you're gonna do it at least do it OSS so the rest of us can put together great commerce sites as well.
OS X has a nice tool called Repair Disk Permission... it's interesting foo just the reason you described. I'm surprise that no one has as yet developed a similar tool in OSS community.
Basically is a default config for everything that comes in the install and any upgrades, etc. Doesn't touch your personal files or your custom installations. Very nice, especially when installing 3rd party software that may or may not be as professionally engineered as you'd like to believe (having payed 100s for it).
Make a.Net category for this stuff and/. editors wouldn't miss these redundant stories. Who knows what kind of crap/interesting news will come out about.Net in the future but whatever it is I don't want to read about it in the BSD/Linux/OS X/non-.Net category.
I really enjoyed the first shocking scene with the parents gluttony... man was that unexpected. Everything until the end when it kind of wrapped up a little too neatly and everyone became happy in a very Disney bank-rolled sort of way.....
Is anyone working on a personal P2P portal? Seems like an extension of what you're talking about. What I see is software which works like a webserver but is local and accessed P2P. Instead of DNS you use the P2P model to direct traffick and search for content, whether it is files or html/web media. All you'd need is a renderer (think gecko) hooked in to parse html, etc. to the peer who is browsing your site. This of course could also serve up blogs or calendars or whatever other types of web services you wanted to offer to your peers.
If you are willing to void your warranty, do a little soldering and find a good firmware hack, maybe.... well it seems like that would be required but really it probably only requires that you find the graphics chipset somewhere other than on a brand new iBook.
Problem is that ATI doesn't sell them to consumers. If you have a buddy at a licensed Mac service center you could maybe lay your hands on one but this could be a 'ship back to Apple' repair and they wouldn't have any spare cards lying around.
Finally, the point to this is that Apple keeps a really tight grip on these parts and as one Mac reseller told me "We're not allowed to piece out Macs, Apple won't let us".
Yeah if MS Word was 'built in' to OS X at the lowest level you'd see an improvement as well. I also get a 10 sec load on Word... but then how often do I load and unload Word. If I really wanted it always available to open.Doc files I would have loaded it at my last startup 3 months ago and just left it running.
Megahertz myth only extended to at most double mhz compare your 400 - 450 G4 with 800-1Ghz Intels and you've got a much better comparison. 1.8 ghz is what, more than 4 times the clock speed. We all know that Apple has screwed us on processors (well mostly Motorola but anyways), that doesn't mean that the OS sucks.
Get a new driver for you Mouse. Buy a Kensington and download their driver Pref Pane for OS X... you can adjust the sensitivity all you want, they even have response curves you can manually edit... plus you get programmable buttons, application specific programmable buttons and scroll wheel;-p

Get a copy of VirtualDesktop (Versiontracker, do a search) it enables focus follows mouse as well as providing up to 100 virtual desktops in a 10 x 10 grid with a pager for fast access. They just recently fixed the multiple monitor problems they were having.
One thing you would like about 10.2 is that they put the application icon next to all of those scaled down white windows in the dock... makes all the difference. Now you can tell which one is your iTunes queue, Moz window, Text file, etc. at a glance.

try it you won't be dissapointed.
Where's a good place to sell 'cheap' RAM?

Nope, Apple is the current favorite in that race.... ;-p I still love them though.

Now if you x 4 all of the numbers there you will be close to what a $15 K system will be capable of in 2003.
You'd think that "the source" would be able to purchase a more impressive system, even in 2001, huh.
RADEON ALL-IN-WONDER, is that a budget concious video capture tool? Export your video to TV then 'capture' it with a VCR/TiVO?

Try out this little freeware script... adds just the right stuff to enable hide app and hide others to the docks .plist file.
.plist and editing.
HideFromDock
Of course you could just do it yourself by going into the dock.app and finding the menu
