  1. I'm about to make the same purchase... on PowerBook Performance for Java Development? · · Score: 1
    ...curious... how well is the standby performance with Apple laptops? By that, I mean can you really close the lid, let it sleep, open the lid and use the laptop, time and time again, without rebooting? That is something even a clean install of WinXP won't do for more than a day or two! I'd love to know.

  2. MAC LOVERS! You will be OK... on Details Of Palm OS 6 - 'Cobalt' · · Score: 5, Informative
    Visit http://www.markspace.com/ the makers of The Missing Sync and you will discover they fully intend to provide sw to suppor teh new Palms on the mac.

    Of course, with that said, if I have Chapura Keysite style syncing between my Palm and Entourage on the Mac, I would get rid of windows forever. Oh well.

    Of course. If not, they would open it for me :)

    Point being, if the law wants in, I'll let them in of course. But if some dork with a RIAA hat wants in my house, he's getting hurt.

  6. As much as I have things I don't like about USA... on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 1
    ...here in America(TM)(R), if anyone "raided" their way into my home and they didn't have big shirts and hats that said "Police", "FBI", "CIA" or "Interpol", then the person doing the raiding would meet the working end of my Mosberg 12 guage shotgun that sits under my bed.

    Very simple and very true. "I'm from the RIAA, and I am coming in" would be last words uttered by the poor shrill.

  7. OPENGROUPWARE ON MAC OS??? ANYONE? on Running a Business on Open Source Software? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Does OpenGroupware run on Mac OS? I've been wondering for three weeks about needing an Exchange Server, but not wanting to keep a windoze box running 24/7. I would LOVE to get a powerbook and opengroupware as a server (for three people) and have outlook as the client (Outlook just works the best with the palm, multiple catagories, etc). Thanks :)

  10. Re:Windows can be secure on Microsoft Advises to Type in URLs Rather than Click · · Score: 1
    While it's true Windows isn't really the state of the art platform when it comes to security, it beat's Linux when it comes to a few key issues. Like hardware support.

    Thats why I took a bite of the www.apple.com

    Never had a problem with 10.3 on the 15 inch powerbook. It's like the SW and HW were made together or something. :)

    Best of both worlds. Seriously.

  11. Prosthetics... $$$ and emotional reward... on Switching from Another Industry to Engineering/CS? · · Score: 1
    Make fake limbs! I know first hand from some of my clients who work with a few comapanies that do just that, and the people who work on those devices quickly earn enough to start their own offices, get a few docs on board, and clean house. Leading edge computer and medical science, SUPER MONEY, and the fantastic reward of changing lives for the better in a very drastic way, day after day. One small office owner I know can't get over the fact he gets $800,000/yr, three years into it, and makes people cry every time they stand up on one of his fake legs for the first time. Trully rewarding IMO.

    Good luck, and start in a small office where eventually you can get a few docs and a few assistants, and stap these puppies onto patiens. That's the money plus emotional reward. DO NOT end up in a cubicle designing these things for some big comapny. Be "in the field" making your own adjustments to, or just installing, existing designs, with your own custom fittings/tweaks/etc. That's some tips I heard from the aforementioned owner.

    Thats where I say the thing! Live on the webcast. I then hit lego.com 10 seconds later and bought the thing. Impulse buy. The joke about keeping him away from the real thing so they got him a Lego one was way funny. Almost laughed coffee though my nose.

    Workgroup Manager uses a lot of terminology that is completely lost on me, and I am not managing any users, really. My wife doesn't need the file server...

    THIS GUY? He's telling us about a Server OS? XServe!?!

    Next up, I will review a Sun E15000 for sharing MP3's with my girlfriend, and using old SGI render farms from Toy Story 1 to replace my TiVo for the two half hour shows I tape every week. Stay tuned!

  17. Good point. on UK Mobile Providers Introduce WAP Censorship · · Score: 1
    The problem is crossing the only easy to see line from "say anything" to "censor just a little bit." Once some censoring happens, it's all a grey area.

    First, the bad pr0n gets blocked.

    Then, companies block other "bad stuff". Thing MSN distorting search results for Linux.

    Then, Governments block anything they damn well please. Think China, US, et. al.

    Then again, it's suck a large, complex world full of good and bad, thinking about even a small aspect of it makes my head hurt. Time to load up Desert Combat 0.6 :)

    The true test of the right to the freedom of speech is when you allow speech you don't like or disagree with. Well, thank *** that Slashdot still lets us say whatever the **** we want, whenever the **** we want to. It will be a cold day in **** before this place censors us.

    I'm not so sure about that. I can't really think of anything somewhat similar that is politically impossible

  25. One way is easy. on First Stereograms of Mars from Spirit · · Score: 4, Interesting
    A one way trip I am sure would be do-able. Leaving out the "get back home" part makes things MUCH more simple. However, even if the line of volunteers was a mile long, todays policitally correct enviornment and would not let the brave souls make the trip. I think NASA should throw the idea of a "one-way mission to Mars(TM) in three years" into the news and see what happens.
