I've been using this client for about 2 weeks since it was released, and aside from a few small crashes, it's been running solid. The main problem is that when it freezes and you kill it, you have to reboot your Mac in order for it's database to be unlocked, (or i haven't figured out what else to do), which is kinda dumb, this being BSD.
The aqua interface isn't too aqua - it's mainly a wrapper around the R5 design with the exception of the dialogues, but all in all is just as easy to use.
give them a copy of j.s. mills' on liberty and have them read that as well and draw parallels to mills' concepts of liberty and how free thinking individuals are prone to the liberty of thought and the way the society in Fahrenheit 451 eschew those values.
Actually, you can open up GUI apps from the console.
try "man open" at the command prompt.
and from what the guy was asking originally, i've had no problems running GNU software. I got BASH to compile and set it up as default shell, i've gotten VI to compile, and GNU Emacs seems to run just fine (even m-x tetris is available).
The CLI is a different world from the GUI, but you can turn on all most options to allow the finder to see hidden directories, the whole nine yards. Check out some Mac tip and trick sites...Admittedly it's not default in the OS and you have to peek around, but come on, y'all like UNIX, so why get lazy about learning the tricks of this system.
possibly it's for future expansion. with a dongle you can sell another "output" device (who knows, holographic maybe!) and not have to have it use a standard VGA connector - just sell another dongle.
M-Audio and one other manufacturor (I can't remember their name) make USB and Firewire break out boxes for laptops with Audio In/Out (Balanced XLRS, 1/4 stereo and mono) with on-board high-quality DACs.
I'm looking to get the M-Audio one for my iBook to do digital recording as Macs don't come with Audio in anymore, leaving it up to third parties to make Firewire/USB solutions. They have low latency (I would image the Firewire one would be lower due to Firewire's higher transfer rate), but I've heard nothing but good things about them.
Also, if you're doing sequencing, you can get a MIDI breakout box and connect to another MIDI device for audio output.
actually, we use arabic numerals. our script is roman based, as you can tell if you look at latin (which the romans spoke) and it consists of many similar letters as the 26-character alphabet we currently use.
if you look at arabic you'll notice a lot of flowing lines and a more "cursive" appearance.
this is why your character coding is called "ROMAN" not "ARABIC".
we use flex time where i work and it works out quite well. as long as you show up to your meetings during the week (of which my earilest is 11am) and get the work, i could come in at midnight and work until 8am and then go home. it provides maximum felxibility in persoanl time too, which si goodbecause there are some days where we'll ber at work fort 14 hours, and then next day only for three to make up for it.
i say quit if they go on a schedule
I just graduated from Umass-Amherst without the support of either of my parents, paying for school mainly with government loans and working my ass off during the summers...and just barely being able to make tution and fees each year. i couldn't fathom having to find $2k more to buy myself a non-upgradible computing device, especially if i already owned a desktop.
what requiring the ownership of a laptop does is prevent educational access to underprivledged poorer familes who already have enough of a problem gaining educational access.
the article does state that the school would provide vouchers and assistance, but once again, when school is being paid for entirely through loans, having to take another $2k in loans out to buy a comptuer is a slap in the face.
Massachusetts' public education system is already underfunded thanks to the large population of private schools and due to decisions in the leadership of the state university systems, affirmative action has already been dismantled.
AN EDUCATION IS NOT A PRIVLEDGE OF THE RICH WHITE CLASSES, BUT A RIGHT FOR EVERYONE.
there should be a law banning suv's and other high-end gas guzzling cars without special expensive permits or a useage based clause (so if you're poor, but you really do need an SUV for what you do, you could still get one).
SUVs also lead to a false sense of safety. Being from Vermont you'd be surprised to see the number of four-wheel drive SUVs off the road in a snow storm because the driver thought that he could drive through anything. If we used less gas, it would be cheaper and better for the environment.

while that is true, we refer to our character set as a roman character set, i seem to recall that the mac character set is called MacRoman.
While it may have been stolen from the greeks, no one calls them greecian script.

and you're married you can call it widow-maker as well.
It's more then the usual microsoft/apple stories, but also includes histories of some programming languages and stuff.
if your dad is old-school he might actually remember a lot of the stuff that happened in this book.
I remember reading an article about this very topic (actually a few) in Infoweek written by Bob Matcalfe (sp? -- the inventor of ethernet).
It sounds like a good idea, but the problem is you still need some sort of high speed connection to dump it all into.
I'm on a cable modem in boston and my server is responding just fine on all my ports.
google does show paid search results.
google adwords. when you do a search it shows you ads on the search results page depending on what you searched.
why? because people need to make money. it's no big surprise.

I'm pretty glad that directories in linux are now called groups since AOL make AIM for it.
