in silicon valley, i suggest two seemingly unremarkable items: for the past (the office building on el camino real in menlo park, formerly housing Be Inc.); for the future: the front of the Gates building at Stanford, where every replace ment of one of the large palm trees dies...
i realize, that yours is a veru u.s. point of view.
where was there sex u would not want "kids" to watch? what could that be? one may not feel obliged to want naked primaries zoomed in full action; on the other hand, this may represent one's own subconsciousness...
i really see more problems to have my (small) kids watching the news showing nice bombs blasting through iraq, leaving some amputeted kids (or dictators) behind, than two nude people embracing each other.
yes, i am an righteous old european . and living in the u.s. for some years, i have been able to collect some insights here, too. and i am an atheist. and i think the members of the bush administration are not only dangerous, burt dangerously stupid. and i use a mac. and i think, that the democrats are a bunch of right-of-the sanity weenies. and...
sorry for that. you see, my comments can be discounted.
wells fargo seems to be o.k. for most better browsers (mozilla, chimera). was not a year ago. never had a problem with the german postbank.
but: ups!!! they refuse even the newest mozilla etc. for opening / editing an account! i had to install ie (which i keep now on a disk image); only occasion in several months.
apple frequently dumps older systems at the education stores. about 5 monthes ago, stanford had G4/533/CD-RW/40GB + 17 inch LCD for 1249 (that is 350 added to the screen). other examples are 899 (same time) for iBook 600/DVD. all new machines.
just reactivated an old 4+wheel usb logitech mouse. although i was happy before with the original apple optical + control on my titanium with add. 18" tft, i now feel like working faster...
but still, i don't understand the frequent flaming for apple's stubborn sticking with their mice; they are neat, and much better than a 10 button (or so) kensington with terrible ergonomics.
for the mac os x port of x11, xinerama support has been there for several months (previous 4.1 in first versions). works without problems in rootless mode (that is, showing aqua as well as x11).
the "new" announcement seems to be mostly about unifying the different attempts?

I wouldn't want to have to keep scrap paper/w me at all times just trying to keep track of which side the secret agents were really on!
piece of paper wouldn't help you at all; no figure in the book knows it's own side...
seriously, i read about 20 books by lem (probably many more than published in the us?); he greatly shaped my sense for irony and positive sarcasm. his style is for me on one side connected with the strugazki brothers (sci-fi), on the other side there are duerrenmatt and kafka (paranoia, institutions, labyrinth).
in general, the comments in this thread by people who have read some of his books are in line with some of my experiences.
you may also try to run X11 with KDE (or Gnome, or a simple WM) side-by-side with OS X, thanks to the people at fink.sourceforge.net... very convenient to have open source and legacy software in one session (of course, you can also use fullscreen and toggle, but...) Breaks Apple's design rules, for sure. See

nice satire...
but then, i am not sure. after some years in the u.s. (even california), i can not be sure about the fun / troll status of the post above...

is 999 (less for education, + 50 for ram) a lot for a laptop? and a very nice and solid one.

see there. for business dsl, distribution seems feasible.
tibook 1GB memory second screen (with dvi connector for the current tibooks, else vga) all that you need ;-) (+love)
quicktime 6 has been out in beta for a while, and works flawlessly so far. i think, apple holds it only back due to the mpeg4 licensing issues.
