Seriously, man, if a user needs to be told about 'sudo softwareupdate', it's probably better in the long run to tell them to 'sudo rm -rf/" instead. It'll save tons of time when they can't bother to find answers to all the other questions they have.
I always love seeing people bitch about things, when what's actually wrong isn't the OS, but the user being either retarded or lazy.
"Use the extra 2 grand to make a nice comfy seat cushion."
Two points: people who install Linux don't *have* an extra two grand, and if they did, it would only be a question of time before mommy came downstairs to clean their basement room, found the money, and subsequently blew it all on crack, anyway. 2000 dollars means a lot less dicks they have to suck!

You can get a PC notebook for about half as much and it could still do the things that the mac could do.
Oh really? Can a PC notebook run WebObjects, FrontBase (a non-flatfile database, unlike amateurish crap like MySQL), and Rendezvous file sharing? How about a nice cloning option like 'ditto' for rapid deployment via IEEE1394? Can't do those things? Didn't think so.
Now I will right click with my 20 dollar 4 button USB mouse to post my response to your babyshit excuse for commentary. Cheers, bitch!
You've probably already considered this, and as far as I know it hasn't been ported from OS9 to OS X yet, but ArtPro was an excellent trapping solution that replaced a Scitex workflow system at the printing company I used to work for. If they ever get around to porting it to OS X, it may be exactly what you're looking for.
Elsewise, all the other solutions I could offer (Creo, Creo-Scitex, etc) all suffer from the problem you site as unwanted; they all want you to completely change how you do things and buy into their "workflow" as a total solution. It's frustrating, I would imagine.
To add to the frustration, the Quartz display system is PDF-based, which *should* mean that development of trapping systems should be really straightforward, yet no one seems to be doing anything with it. But I offer you a hearty good luck, and my condolances for being in print during this time of changes in platform. Prepress/printing is a pretty thankless job, made more difficult by slow-moving software development, compounded even more by the high turnover in said software development dev positions.
You know, if you got a second job, you might be able to afford a Macintosh upon which to run OS X. Then you could stop player hating, and babbling about the lack of X11 windowing options.
Seriously, only a complete fucking retard would choose X windows over Aqua. And yes, by this, I mean specifically that you are a complete fucking retard. Death to X11 and it's cruddy spawn. X11 users should be required to stay on some intel-derivative platform; it is the penance for being poor, and mind you, it is a much less ominous fate than what *I* would prescribe for you.
The slotload. Fortunately, the tray loading machines are not in my office, as I would have to agree that those are distinctly louder than the slot-loads. For me, they still seem really, really loud, but I don't have any first-hand experience with IBM eServers. They're still louder than the Sun machines in the same office in my case... Maybe it's just me, though...
Really, though, the slot-loading xServe is very quiet under normal operations.
Could you please tell that to the two directly behind my head? They are the second loudest machines I've ever adminned, falling behind the SGI PowerSeries machines. They out-loud various Sun boxes, and all of our desktop G4 towers. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some XServe, but they aren't quiet during normal operations, unless by "normal operations" you meant "powered off"...
Because if you did, you failed to convey it. The XServe is very thin. It takes up less physical space than similarly powered Sun machines. Period.
Also, if you'd ever seen the inside of an E450, you'd realize that the drive bays don't take up more than 15% of the internal space. There's a lot of empty, unused space in there, which may serve the function of providing air for the CPU(s) to cool, or may be just the result of the industrial designers realizing they had a whole lot of case to fill.
Maybe next time you could make the effort to actually refute something I said, instead of just proving your mastery of Sun's Online Product catalog. Or you could just drop the pedantic argumentative tone, if you just want to change the subject to Sun pricing vs. Apple pricing, and your own personal opinions on SCSI vs. IDE.
Another major difference between the two is the size; you can stack a lot more XServes than you can Sun machines of similar power (420R, 220R, not to mention the Enterprise 450, which is HUGE) given a fixed amount of space.
It is reasonable to assume that, since these are being put into submarines, space is of a limited quantity, so the reduced physical profile of the XServes may also have played a part in the decision making process.
Granholm has done the ridiculous again, but I think she's aware that it's unenforceable. By passing legislation like this, Michigan officials have posed publicly as if they will do something about spam, but when you really look at the legislation, it's short-sighted, unenforcable, and simply doesn't apply to anyone outside of Michigan. Sure, there are some spammers in Michigan that may get nabbed, but this isn't going to significantly impact the amount of email anyone gets, and most likely won't stop you from contacting people on USENET, which I'll agree is an excellent source of information on outdated technology.
Granholm is grandstanding. What's offensive to me is the whole retarded idea that spam will be solved with additional toothless legislation. We don't need more laws; there are plenty of ways to stop it technologically, or with cultural pressure.
Yes, all of us Americans are incapable of properly pronouncing words. Yes, we're all evil. Now bring your throat a little closer, so I can cut it, bitch.
Fact: we're a huge economic juggernaut, and you can't topple us. Sure, it may make you cry like the little baby you are, but you can't do a goddamned thing about it.
Don't take it personally. You just haven't sucked enough editor-mini-dick to get them to read your submissions, so they get rejected. Happens all the time, as SLASHDOT IS RUN BY RETARDED MICHIGAN NERDS. What do you expect?
Come on, moderator plebians, give me a Troll rating. You know you want to.
Ok, I hope you feel better. Now, go get a towel and wipe up all the moralization-jizz you dropped, collect your half-witted misunderstandings about international politics in a nice pile, and get your pasty, lard-ass back down in your momma's basement, slashdot socialist.
1.) It's DECEIT, and DECEITFUL. Not DECIET. I before E except after C.
2.) When one issues an imperative, it is best that said one have some sort of plan in mind for the outcome not turning up their way. For instance, when you warn that USians should "Watch [their] tongues", it lacks gravity, as if they decide not to, the only thing you can do is continue to run your mouth. The correct way to handle it, of course, is to issue an imperative backed up by the threat of military action, but since you aren't in control of the world's most powerful military, doing that will only result in your death. Your not liking something doesn't change the fact that you, sir, are COMPLETELY POWERLESS. In your case, I think your only option is therapy to learn to deal with your irrelevance. HTH.

Then again, I suppose Fent would have trouble making a.jpg that fit that entire motto.

Sucks to be you, eh?
Yay, I'm a troll!
Doesn't change the fact that most of you retards ride the short bus to school, if in fact you leave mommy's basement at all.

Too bad you don't live here, as nobody from California calls it "Cali". It's like people calling San Francisco "Frisco". Tourists...
When I lived there, I intentionally called San Francisco "Frisco" to irritate little putos like you. Bitch.
Sadly, it tends to result in another idiot taking the incumbant idiot's spot. What we really need is something like Bell's Assassination Politics.
Thank you for responding predictably to my well-crafted troll. Your participation is greatly valued.
