The biggest problem is that using the Dock(ing station) requires you to memorize the state of all your open Windows -- was that browser window minimized or not? You have to go hunt for it. The Windows taskbar presents a consistent view no matter what you are doing -- the icon is always in the same place
It does? The dock on my Mac shows your minimized windows on the right side, as a screencap of the window with an icon in the lower-right corner. Combine that with Expose (if you have Panther) and you shouldn't have to hunt for very much.
When i get back to my iBook i really have to try that applications folder on the dock thing;P
Libranet Linux, stripped down from install. Install KDE and Gnome. Run the system with one of the 2, your choice. Then, install: KDE's educational packages Gnome's educational packages Abiword, Openoffice, Gnucash, Gnumeric. Kstars also works. Also include some games, like: Tuxracer (if their 3d will support it) TuxPaint Pingus FrozenBubble Tetris/Tetris clone? whatever else seems appropriate.
Also find out from the school what kind of educational software they use and find some decent clones of what they have. Then make 1 machine, image it, and push the images to the other ones.
Densely-packed Power Squeezed in under the cover of the Mac mini lies a G4 processor, room for up to 1GB PC2700 main memory, a Radeon 9200 graphics chip, and a large enough hard drive -- up to 80GB -- to store today's digital media.
that's right, it was a maserati. I'm glad to see someone besides me remembers that show:) I think it was the car in the exhaust-note-replacement segment i was thinking of, but now i recall that was a Lotus.
Anyone remember the "Beyond 2000" show on discovery a few years ago? They had a feature on some of the coolest things, like rimless wheels, and a real-time audio system that replaced the rattling buzzing 4-cylinder noise from your car and substituted the rumble of an american V8 in its place. They did a feature on a peelable finish, by rolling the finish onto a Lamborghini, then peeling it off, showing the original paint beneath.
This was in Car and Driver months ago. Although i must say it's definitely an interesting article, and anyone who doesn't subscribe to C/D probably wouldn't have heard of it. I dunno if it mentions it in THIS article, but the C/D article said they had that out of the 530+ classes of vehicle, they hadn't one for hybrids yet. it's stuff like "2 door pre 1949 coupe with ford flathead" and "2 door pre 1949 coupe with ford flathead, supercharged" are 2 different classes.:) The prius eventually got its own class though. Interesting anyhow:)
Actually, Al asked, coolio apparently said yes, then denied saying yes later. Al still feels terrible about it. Check the whole story at www.weirdal.com.
I had an idea to build a motor that ran entirely on permanent magnets. too bad you couldn't turn it on and off though. Now i need to go build it and see if my idea would work:D
Now if only I could get more Firefly, TV might be worth watching again.
Movie Tome has an entry for a Firefly movie called "Serenity" that will start filming later this year and be ready by 2005. Hopefully it'll be successful and spawn another set of episodes or at the very least more movies. I'd link it but tv tome and movie tome aren't responding to me right now.
Important distinction here, between a Sparc 5 and an Ultra 5. A Sparcstation 5 is powered by a supersparc processor, somewhere between 70 and 110 MHz (or thereabouts), and is 32-bit. The Ultra 5 is powered by a 64-bit Ultrasparc series processor, which runs at speeds upwards of 160MHz. Huge distinction.
It's like confusing a Macintosh SE/30 and a Power Mac G3.
And do you consider it misleading to label a chip "MP" vs "XP" simply based on a level of testing, rather than a different physical product?
so if it's the same physical product why does the MP identify as a different processor, and why doesn't the XP work in multiprocessor applications? Try sticking 2 XP chips in a 2cpu motherboard.
The chips perform the same, so i don't see if that's a huge problem.
Besides, Chevy now sells a car it calls "Impala" that's Front wheel drive, V-6, 4-door sedan. In 1964 it was a v-8 rear drive 2-door coupe, sedan or convertible. Does that mean the new Impala really isn't an impala at all?
and you didn't, TI calcs are overpriced and underpowered, compared to other technology on the market. Palms run 133mhz processors for 100 bucks, so why does TI still use only 16's? MORE POWER NEEDED!
especially for the prime factorization program i found for my '83.

Step 1. Put all music ever recorded in a centralized location.
Step 2. Sell songs for 5c each.
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit!

Finally!
I've been severely missing an Os that excells in lack of support, lack of compatibility and an unsurpassed vapor-are factor.
Looks like you haven't been using BeOS or Zeta.
If humans colonize, are the colonists on a one-way trip akin to exile?
Seemed to work for the aussies.
Congrats, Tesko.

Actually, they're using IBM's CPL, which they duidn't create.
Not that i agree any less on their motives though. too bad it won't work.
In other news, a new media called "Internet" allows people to share information and interests with the entire world.

Whitehouse.com and goatse.cx are in big trouble.
He'll mod the X-box and run linux on it.

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe he'll have time to write more keynotes that way.
