So it seems bits and pieces of the old architecture are there, but are probably rotting away from disuse. I hope we can convince Apple to revive this effort.
Sorry I was aggressive in my post. But your aggression to the asker of the question rankled me. The submitter has a point.
As for my points: (a) Yes. Apple Remote Desktop is a bitmap-pusher, like VNC or Timbuktu. It does *not* hook into Quartz in the same manner that remote X hooks into X, or that RDP hooks into Window's GDI. (b) Read about the product. It's not a protocol for sharing apps across different computers, although it could work that way. As I (admittedly awkwardly) said, it emphasizes a scenario in which a teacher has a program running on his or her computer, and that teacher's screen is "pushed" onto a bunch of student computers, so they can watch the teacher's demo.
And I'll elevate the price issue to (c) it costs $300.
So while the poster may appreciate your link, Apple Remote Desktop is not a direct answer to his question, any more than a link to VNC or Timbuktu would be.
There remains a real issue here of the non-remoteness of the Quartz APIs, an issue that Apple really should try to deal with. Many, many people want them to re-implement this, after it was lost from NeXT.
(By the way, if you have an old copy of OS X Server 1.2 around, you CAN do remote display on that platform, since it still used Display Postscript instead of Aqua)
Apple Remote Desktop is a VNC or Timbuktu-like program, which pushes the (compressed) bitmap of a desktop to the client machine. While it can work for the situation the questioner asked about, it (a) is not a truely native solution, in which the API calls are transmitted rather than the bitmap of the screen, and (b) is geared towards education, where it can be used by a teacher to show a demonstration on a set of student computers.
It also costs $300.
NeXT's Display Postscript had the ability to run remotely, like X, but those hooks were abandoned when Apple converted the display model to Quartz/Display PDF.

Lin Chiach'eng believed that, including IBM, HP, rose and so on to have the emulation relations positive with Microsoft the merchant recently all quite positively to develop the LINUX job system, the government cannot completely rely on Microsoft in the policy.

it almost makes sense! "two big policies main axle" indeed... I'm also not sure what Canada is doing in there.

Parent comment is total flamebait, as far as I'm concerned.
Bill Gates, via his foundation, has given more money, and more earnest attention, to public health issues like AIDS, tuberculosis, and vaccination, that any living human. He does this out of what I regard as a genuine thoughtful concern for the best way to make his enormous wealth do good in the world.
He doesn't have to do this - he could be like Larry Ellison and just dick around with his money. To say he's fighting AIDS in India solely to make a market for Microsoft products is rude and inaccurate.
But no, I haven't dug up any photos of him with the tika. I'd pay to see it, though.
Basically, the impression I get from comments I've seen about these it that they work OK if you have no other option, but if you can at all manage a miniplug-to-RCA, or even a cassette adaptor, they'll sound better.
Well, the Backup software is offered for download to subscribers to the Dot-Mac service, not built-in to the operating system. So this is definitely a gray-zone, like the hacking of the i-Opener.
I am not well-versed in the world of Linux, ( have my own allegiances but am being drawn to it more and more. Reading the article, it felt very clear to me that Linux will prevail (with a nod to William Faulkner's Nobel speech).
Consider a few quotes from the article:
The LinuxThreads implementation of the POSIX threads standard (pthreads), originally written by Xavier Leroy
A group at IBM and Intel, led by Bill Abt at IBM, released the first version of the New Generation POSIX Threads (NGPT) library in May 2001
On March 26-27, 2002, Compaq hosted a meeting to discuss the future replacement for the LinuxThreads library. In attendance were members of the NGPT team, some employees of (then distinct) Compaq and Hewlett-Packard, and representatives of the glibc team
On September 19, 2002, Ulrich Drepper and Ingo Molnar (also of Red Hat) released an alternative to NGPT called the Native POSIX Thread Library (NPTL)
Perhaps others have already pointed this out, but I am newly impressed with the universal nature of Linux. The power of an operating system that *everyone* is interested in improving, and has the opportunity to improve, is awesome. Yes, Microsoft has tremendous resources, and very earnest, good-willed, brilliant people. But to improve Microsoft's kernels, you have to work for Microsoft. That means switching the kid's schools, moving to Redmond, etc. etc. On the other hand, everyone from IBM to HP to some kid in, say, Finland, can add a good idea to Linux. When the kernel's threads implementation is a topic for conversation at conferences, with multiple independent teams coming up with their best ideas, Linux is sure to win in the long run.
I'm struck by the parallels to my own field of scientific research: Yes, the large multinational companies have made tremendous contributions in materials science, seminconductors, and biotech. They work on the "closed-source", or perhaps "BSD" model of development. But it is the "GPL"-like process of peer-reviewed, openly shared, and collaborative academic science that has truly prevailed.
I just set a crontab to run streamripper and record from one of those stations, at the time and for the duration of the program I want. Then tell iTunes to dump the file to the iPod, and poof - several hours of interesting listening, ready and waiting!
All of the stations have program schedules available, or you can just guess for the live programs.
When I have some time, I'll be gussying this up in a Cocoa interface for any fellow Mac OS X users.
That PDF is written for people using:
(a) Mac OS X 10.1, not 10.2 Jaguar
(b) A Mac OS X Server box (read: $1000 OS, $3000+ hardware) to serve the Mac clients.
The questioner is asking about using the most-recent OS X, connecting directly into a Microsoft network, with existing Microsoft servers that have already been paid for. This is something which many people want or need to do.
We all appreciate your efforts to help, but try breathing three times and counting to ten before you disparage the guy and call him an idiot. Your flippant attitude does not actually help anyone
Had you actually *read* the document you linked to, rather than googling for forty seconds and then patting yourself on the back, you might have found that this is the sole reference to Active Directory:
LDAPv3
This is a newer version of LDAP, which Mac OS X fully supports (read-write). This is the same version of LDAP used by Microsoft's Active Directory and Novell's NDS.
The poster's problems are a very real issue and are well-deserving of a public question on Slashdot.
Score: 5, Informative should, in this case, be Score: -1, Didn't Read The F'ing Article.
I quote:
That means that the processor only receives "its" speed half of the time. This behavior is controlled via the chipset. The disadvantage of this power-saving mechanism is that the user cannot influence it. In other words: in SmartStep, the processor runs only at half-speed in battery operation. Although that needn't be an issue when running simple office applications, anyone who uses the CPU primarily to run intensive applications - and wants to do this on the road - will be bitterly disappointed by the device's performance.
and
The user does not have the option of running the SmartStep on battery at the advertised speed of 2.2GHz at the expense of battery-running time. The advantage of the quick processor is thus lost in mobile operation. We find the fact that Dell fails to clearly point out this special "feature" pretty shameless, to put it mildly.
The towers are widely agreed to be a terrible deal. I wouldn't buy one either.
However, the iMacs, iBooks, and Powerbooks are much more competitive, with perhaps a zero to three hundred dollar markup relative to PCs, but plenty of other benefits to offset it.
As for the displays, well, you're free to use any other display you want with your Mac. But even Cnet agrees that they're the highest-quality displays you can get (and they generally hate Macs).
I agree with you on the components thing though. Apple needs to get the extra-memory-and-drives markups back in line with reality.
Looking like the Mac, but not sharing the ease of use of the Mac, was exactly Microsoft's strategy for years.
Eventually it paid off - sometime around Windows 98 most people decided that Windows was "good enough", even exceeding the Mac in some areas. Being "good enough", plus running on cheaper hardware (and a dash of network effect and anticompetitive behavior) sealed Windows' victory.
So, perhaps becoming "good enough", and cheaper, will seal Linux's victory. Time will tell whether Linus should add a dash of the network effect and anticompetitive behavior.;-)
Planets do not have self-correction mechanisms. They are not alive.
I do agree with your broader point that it is foolish to expect to "freeze" nature at a particular point. You're right - life will go on. Bacteria and the cockroaches will probably be just fine.
However, it is downright idiotic to just throw up your hands and let anything go. The future is largely in our hands, and we can determine what kind of environment we will live in. (e.g. Our cities and waterways are less polluted now than 100 years ago because of a profound cultural shift and stringent regulations, not because they just "got better").
You can choose to live in a world without old-growth forest or spotted owls or wild areas, a world with a Sahara desert covering half of Africa and matching deserts on each continent. I'd rather be a little more careful and preserve some of the pretty stuff for my grandkids.
Just ask Venus and Mars whether they "self-corrected" their climate change...
Considering that Apple, uh, "requested" that MediaFour rename the XPod software (now XPlay), and that the developers rename the xtunes jukebox (now "sumi")... I don't think "gnuPod" will be long for this world.
