I have a Sony Ericsson T630 which works flawlessly with MacOS X. Full iSync compatibility for iCal and Address Book.
It has a nice Apple-style touch which looks pretty good next to my PowerBook G4.
Plus there is Romeo (no I'm not its author just a happy user) which is a nice OpenSource app that lets you do all sort of neat things with BlueTooth (remote control for iTunes, DVD, mouse mode, presentation sliding for both Powerpoint and Keynote, volume control, etc.), proximity reaction, caller ID (with a nice bezel and photo support!) and fully AppleScript'able to add support for whatever app you want.
Did I mention it is now GPL software? Althought it's not directly on the site, its sources can be obtained via CVS from SourceForge and it could surely use some help from experienced and skilled ObjC/Cococa coders.
I'd like to take the chance to ask, if anybody knows if it would be possible to use the computer as a sort of headset for the phone, talking with the built-in mic on the Powerbook and listening through its speakers, it'd be a very nice app for which I've googled around with no positive results.
Finally I'd like to comment that I've been trying to make an iPod-like interface for this software to use with the phone integrated menus, which would let you browse the genres/artists/albums database of iTunes. Anyone interested on it could help me giving it a go.
Exactly. Most of the Indiana Jones character and adventures are based off that one of Gunga Din, which itself was written by Rudyard Kipling (of The Jungle Book fame). All this holds true specially for The Temple of Doom: located in India, is about the Thuggee cult and features the British army.
Except that this is not a window manager for Linux/X11. It's a window manager for OpenBeOs which follows closely the BeBook specifications for the behaviour of such a program, which itself is just a part of the BeOS application server ('app_server').
What makes this so interesting is that it doesn't share any portion of code with the original BeOS WM, instead it's a full reimplementation of it from scratch (as most of the rest of the OpenBeOs project).
Shake already has that (at least 3.5), it comes with a peace of software called 'Qmaster' which allows to set up a small renderfarm out of your OS X machines for Shake jobs, it also supports Maya and Adobe After Effects, and is fully scriptable so any kind of command line utility can be built into it to dispatch render jobs in the network.
I've been looking for a solution to a call center related problem. Besides the fact of leaving a 'written' (database driven) register of all incoming calls (day and hour, who called and who answered the call, and the subject of it), I'd like to record the whole call and attach it to its register. Privacy statements apart (users who call would be welcomed by a greeting which says that the call could be saved in order to improve QA and such), I've been wondering at this problem some time now and perhaps Asterisk could be the solution to it (perhaps I'm wrong - don't know), if anyone has some experience on this which could give some advice... special hardware involved, etc. would be greatly appreciated
You made an absolutely good point there. But the article made it sound like, if you could visit some malign blog site and it would automagically start keylogging all of your activity. It certainly is paraphrased that way in a marketing attempt to exploit the popularity of blogs between not so tech-savvy users.
WTF, an eweek article for non-technical people, no real security advisor about the flaw? Is the malign injectable code plataform-specific? Does it uses the OOo macro languaje (I doubt it since it needs a.doc format, but who knows), or calls 'real' functions from the host plataform?
I've never seen CF code in my life, so I can't say if it's really better than PHP. Anyway, could you provide with some background info about the languaje, some code samples, or whatever it's necesary to show the supposed advantages of CF over PHP?
Also, if I recall correctly, the ColdFusion server engine/component is not free, if that is the case is there any way to try it out?
But since we're on the subject of PHP5, does anybody knows about PHP5 packages for Debian Sarge? Please don't tell me about dotdeb.org, I'd like something that works. I don't mean to troll here, but I'd love to start using PHP5 for our new webapps and our preferred development and deployment platform IS Debian Sarge.
I had an email exchange with Ad Conrad, Debian's PHP Mantainer and he told me that as soon as Sarge is released as stable, he'd be uploading PHP5 to Debian. But it still seems to be far away.
That could already be done, because Mozilla is dually licensed (MPL/GPL). Any individual/company/developers group could have 'branched' and forked from the Mozilla codetree at any moment and called it, say, Notzilla, and continue its development regardless of what direction the Mozilla suite follows.
It was exactly because of a community effort that Mozilla/Firefox are what they are today. Let's not forget that it was a 'community effort' that took the code opensourced by Netscape Corporation when its death was inminent and (after many years of development) made of it what today we know as Mozilla and Firefox. The very same code of Netscape when nobody wanted it anymore.
How does the Internet link on the train works? Specially if it's moving at such great speeds and over (usually) large geographical areas, with all kind of topographical changes (think tunnels, bridges, forest areas, etc.).
What kind of internet connection must the train count with in order to keep the IP address (and not to drop the current connections)? What speed does that kind of link can get? What are the technical requirements for such a thing to work?

Where did you get that from?
The package in Debian is still called Mozilla Thunderbird on all three current distributions (stable, testing and unstable).

Link to the video of Steve Jobs demo'ing NeXTStep 3.0, with Lotus Improv and other stuff.
Take a look at the end of the video where he opens up a SoftPC running Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS, his commentaries made me laugh.

How about _both_ Apple and Intel?

That picture represents exactly how I felt this morning when the news came around confirming the rumors that abounded this weekend.
Exactly. Most of the Indiana Jones character and adventures are based off that one of Gunga Din, which itself was written by Rudyard Kipling (of The Jungle Book fame). All this holds true specially for The Temple of Doom: located in India, is about the Thuggee cult and features the British army.

How could a blog site - or whatever kind of site for that matter - host and run keylogging software?
And how is your RAID going to help you when your data loss is due to an (un)intentionall deletion, and not some kind of hardware failure?
Your analogy has no point at all, since Microsoft Windows is not to be shared, by its license.

there is no need for such a ploy, it already is.
however you can always tweak and play around with the memory use values that OOo has and get better results that what it has by default.
