The first iMac's expansion was called the Mezzanine Port, and was not suppported by Apple in any way("For development use only," they claimed). The Voodoo card is not sold anymore, but Griffin still makes a device called the iPort that gives the iMac a serial port, etc.
In this comment iMac means the first generation of the non flat-panel iMac. This version can be identified by the tray-loading CD-ROM drive and an IR port on the left speaker.
The writer of this comment was not informed, as Slashdot does not pull stories. Additionaly, I do own an eMac G4 and am very happy with it besides its unacceptable Warcraft III performance. There are games for the mac(LOTS!). As a note, newer eMacs have a better graphics card (ATI Radeon 7500) anyway.
I play Warcraft III at 640x480x16 with all Video settings at low on my eMac, and it gets about 6fps while battling small Creeps with about 5 units without using spells. The eMac has 640MB of RAM. This speed is totally unaccetable to me(maybe you are fine with it). Maybe there is a compatability problem between WcIII and the GeForce 2 220?
Intel has done two things wrong with this:
1) Reinventing the wheel. Zeroconf is already there, and open-source too. You'd think that with a "universal" standard, you'd at least want to go with what's already there.
2) Trying to shove on Apple again. This time, it's going to be harder though, because Zeroconf already is supported on many devices and applications, including the TiVo. Another reason to just use Zeroconf.
We already have a no-call list in Colorado, and guess what the first thing that happened is? Companies had to pay for the list, and so the companies that couldn't pay couldn't call anyone. Also, Qwest(Ride a light? But Gandalf, how am I to find this light?) managed to get themselves out of having to use the list. Who knows what companies will slide out of this if it is used across the US?
By law, Employers MUST pay H1B's at least $60K. Look it up. The situation is, a company will lay off two $50K workers, and hire one H1B at $60K, and then force them to work 80 hours a week to do the job of two people. Since the H1B holder is beholden to the company, they have no choice but to do the two job's worth of work.
But H1B is not the problem. The problem is that most IT work can be done remotely, and a company can get a Java programmer in India for $400 a month.
I would never, ever advise anyone to get a CS degree at this point. There is just no future.
Let the kids decide. If the machine is locking up, it isn't too hard to train them to C+A+D or power off/on. If they lose their work, they'll eventually learn to save frequently. This is good training for using the machines at school, since they are usually so screwed up that work can barely be done.
If you really want to introduce them to Linux, go get one of the $199 WalMart specials with Lindows.
My 11 year old long ago surpassed my ability to nudge him toward or away from an OS. Once he learned.configure/make/make install, there was no stopping him. Turn your 11 year old on to OSS, and he'll understand why Linux kicks Windows.
My son really wants a Mac now, since he realizes that with OS X he can have his mainstream commercial games and satisfy his Unix jones, too.
Show the 7 and 3 Y.O. OpenOffice, Gimp and TuxRacer. They'll be fighting over the Linux machine in no time. They really don't care if the software has Micros**t on it or not, they just want it to work and to have fun.
Practical Projects for the Handy Man (Popular Mechanics (Chicago, Ill.: 1902).)
This is a reprint of various DIY articles from Popular Mechanics from 1902 to 1913. It is available from Amazon or many bookstores. There is some REALLY good stuff in here. Make your own gas engine, toaster, motorcycle, ect. The only problem is that many of the parts you need are not available anymore, especially the chemicals which you were supposed to get from your local drugstore.
But really, there are some amazingly clever machines illustrated here, and you could actually build many of them, if you can locate your local chemist, blacksmith, forge and machine shop.:^) Many practical lessons in Physics could be learned, especially if you don't blow your hands off in the process.
I am not responsible for your death if you try some of the stuff in the book. There obviously was a different (and better) standard for liability back then. Just because they tell you HOW to make a hang glider out of local lumber, doesn't mean you SHOULD.
I was driving east on I-70 just east of DeBeque on Sunday evening. I saw a HUGE flash, and leaned forward to be able to see up out of the windshield. I saw the most incredible fireball heading from my right to my left and back a little. Generally north, but the highway twists around so much in that stretch I couldn't tell for sure.
Man, was that cool. I honestly thought some kid had shot a roman candle at us. It was huge, intense, and leaving an orange and green tail. As it went, little sparks fell off of it.
I only saw it for an instant, as it was really moving.
Just awesome.

So, here are your choices! Choose wisely:-)
Even the 'burbs aren't wired in some cities. Denver is supposed to be a telecomm hotspot, and there are many places in the Denver metro area where broadband is not available. And the service that is 'provided' is really bad in a lot of cases.
I think it is funny that DSL is available in Mainland China, but not most of 'Mainland' US.
There have been many articles written on the 'last mile' problem. The bottom line is that with Qwest about to crater here in the West, many people won't be seeing broadband for a long, long time. Since I live in the boonies, I don't expect to EVER see it. I'll just have to live with 40kbs dial up or maybe satellite if they ever get their poop in a group.
I expect to see a bunch of political hay being made about this soon. Like as soon as some dipshit senator moves out to somewhere that is not served by broadband. I can hear the 'we need to bridge the chasm' speeches already, spurred on by the domestic whinefest when his teenage daughters are forced to AOL chat at 28.8.

Better yet, set it to Bork, Bork, Bork. They probably won't notice for at least five minutes.
Only Jedis can heal with prayer(a.k.a. The Force)!
This kind of reminds me of the book, where the starship Bistromath operated off of the times and operations in an Italian restaurant.

Don't forget the floppy drive RAID array!
The 2.5 kernel has a new compile option that makes the sector count a U64. Check out CONFIG_LBD. (Configure Large Block Disk).

Keep ypur job, learn C#.net, then quit and transition to Linux, which has C# libs, etc.

Fuzion Frenzy has a part like this.
Will bird's magnetic navigation be messed up? If it is, it will prove that birds have an "internal compass, " and that it is magnetic
It requires RealONE. Is there an Open Source answer?
A problem for Linux users: it requires RealONE Player to play the stream, or does it?

For those wondering, Linux wrote parts of the "x86 interperter" for the Crusoe.
