No, this is just the usual reminder they send out about 14 days before the cert times out, nothing spooky there. But those whith certs running out right now _will_ be affected by the mainenance as it is not possible to log in to the control panel (which you would do to prolong the cert)

peripher interchange program. I remember an awful lot of ctrl/c though that got better with cpm+. Cpm+ also allowed me to use all of the 128 MB RAM that came with my CPC6128 as it allowed bank switching. Those were the days of WordStar, I used to know the adresses of all the free spots in the program code where you could put your own additions like printer control codes to allow WordStar to use italic or letter quality printing. That was programming in hex.
I once worked at a company named "virtual heaven" and while the desktops had names from star trek like odo, picard the servers took their names from greek and egyptian gods, ra, nuit, isis, pan, seth. Coincidentially, the company went broke not too long after we got that file server named eris.
I still name computers after things up in the sky, using bird names. Spatz, fink, star, triel, dohle, I soon run out of short names in German, luckily I discovered Maori birds: tui, kea, weka kaki, moa, tara,kiwi, beo - ample suply of short pronouncable names.
True. Though you sort of can do it already, only performance lacks dearly. I searched at several torrent places for a OSX10.4.10 Vmware Appliance until I finally found just that.
I go on with posting my results into this thread just in case someone else comes around searching for this topic. I looked into Gnome and autorun support and much to my surprise it turned out that at least the way it is done on ubuntu autorun functionality goes far beyond what windows does. You can set up standard behavior for a number of media types und System/Preferences/File Managment in the Media tab. With the default settings (Software: Open Autorun Prompt) Nautilus will read and use a windows-type autorun.inf to determine a custom icon for that cd and display this. This will work with a.ico file but it will fail if the icon is the ressources of an.exe. But there is more: if there is a file 'autorun' with a script in it, and if the user answers the Autorun Prompt in a positive way, this script will be run
Well, depends. After some further recherche and tests it appears as a hybrid with hfs is indeed needed if you want/have to support mac-ish options like auto-opening folder, background image, custom CD icon etc. It basically boils down to the old workflow (but with toast replaced by the cli tool 'hdiutil'). Prepare the data on win and linux, then test/adapt on mac, copy them into a.dmg, arrange the window options, then create a hybrid image with 'hdiutil makehybrid' from the command line
strange question, shouldnt I know the answer myself since I've been using all three OSen for ages myself? (Typing this on an Ubuntu desktop)
But it's been quite some years now that I last mastered a win/mac CD (it still had OS9) and I never did one for Linux before. On the other hand my own computer usage has so much shifted to a net focus that I hardly ever install and run a CD myself anymore. And if I do this at all, it's always on win.
So, win is easy, there will be an autorun.inf with a link to an icon and a link to some autorun.exe or whatever.
On Mac, I'd expect the CD to appear with a large friendly icon, a window opening on double click with more large friendly icons that make it very clear what to do (i.e. drag the application onto the application folder alias). No autorun here.
On Linux? I have no idea. From my own usage pattern I don't expect the stuff to be on a CDrom in the first place, it's either in the repositories of my distribution or in a.deb/.rpm dnl'ed from some url or I got a tarball and have to do the./configure / make / make install - dance. I don't think I ever opened a "commercial" CD intended to be used from Linux (with the exception of install discs). Autorun? - Gott bewahre! Rather a README, may be an install.pl...
Now there should be sites discussing that question, design guides, style guides, best practices. No way that I'm the first one pondering about how to make a CD look just right on all three OSen - but google drowns me in a bazillion of unrelated pages. Which is why I turn up here with my question, hoping that some of you keep a link or two in their bookmarks to help me find my way.

and besides English, German and Danish you can find the habit of using individual numerals for the first 12 numbers in many (?all) west and north Germanic languages. It gives the strong impression of an original base-12 number system driven out of use by base-10 mathematics but still preserved in the numerals ( and things like a dozend, a gross etc)
