Create the image and save it as a Pict file with the name StartupScreen, with no QT compression, and put it in the System Folder (not a subfolder).
That won't replace the progress splash, however. For that you need to do a resEdit hack of the System file. It's actually pretty simple. Open the System File in ResEdit, locate the resource pict(s), copy, edit, c 'n p back into the same resource in the System file and save.
Should just have gutted a Cube, swapped the vid (would have to be PCI) and add a 1.4 GHz processor upgrade and it would be a fitting rebuild. But this is a travesty. I'd rather see a fishtank than to have a Mac defiled in this manner.
It's got to be said... A networked printer should be on a network. USB Printer sharing is such a Bad Idea. I can understand how it's so much cheaper for mfrs than enet, but it's just not suited to this purpose. The printer shouldn't be dependent on any other machine on the network to work.
One more refinement. LocalTalk came to distinguish between a network over Apple's cabling system (which used a serial port), and other networks, e.g., ethernet. In a sense the nomenclature admitted that the original system was best used as a small local network, or maybe just to your local printer.
SQL, see OpenBase SQL, oh and all Mac OS X installs, client and server, come with MySQL installed.
Exchange. Yep, you got me there. That proprietary product from MS isn't available for OS X. Imagine that. You'll justy have to ditch the MS and use open standard tools (and the other OS X fold on the network can share calenders and scheduling with iCal).
You've pointed up the whole problem with windows and MSs negligence of interoperability. By buying into their closed-proprietary software, you're stuck.

Consider spending the same amount of money on G5s. You'll get 140 of the G5s. Substitute cluster nodes and you can get a whole gross with change left over.
he doesn't seem very technical, he also doesn't seem stupid
Seems like you've already answered your question. He's already got the hardware. He's got disposable cash and curiosity. Instead of the licky-clicky gui getting in the way of the server, it makes it accessible.
CLI is not the be-all-end-all interface. It may ultimately be quicker, but only if the user has memorized all the archane commands, switches and input options. Some of us would rather skip the month of learning commands, and prefer to just hook up a box, fill out a few dialogs, click some checkboxes and have it work.
It doesn't bode well for the CSs out there to have such easily administered servers, but technology continually obsolesces jobs (e.g., whatever happened to typesetters?).
I was on a sub tender while we were undergoing a refit ourselves. Tied up at Guam, the air conditioning was off so the 92 degrees F/95% humidity weather was unmoderated. The heat was oppressive, but that wasn't the real problem. On the weather deck below my office they spent a week and a half removing the many layers of paint, non-skid and rust down to bare metal with a variety of paint chippers. The noise of pneumatic needle guns was one thing, but the drum chippers resonated at the same frequency of a dentist's drill. The vibrations reverberated through the deck at my feet. So, all day long as I worked I felt like I was in a dentist's chair getting my teeth drilled.
It may be an unfair stab at AO, but their proponents do pop up on every discussion of HST over-hyping AO as able to replace HST. They excessively discount the advantages of a space-based platform.
'kay, after RTFA not just VTFP I get it. Considering the number of similar comments about not realizing it was a composited image, it does point out what a bad idea it was for them to present it thusly.
Instead, use the aerogel to replace the mechanical connection around the edges of the glass. With sufficiently reflective coatings on the glass and even a low pressure filling (let's say 65% of atmosphere), the mechanical seal would be the most conductive part of the window structure.
However, the law was instituted at the behest of businesses because it cost them money, It was an expense against profits. If junk faxes hadn't been checked they would consume 90% of the cost of materials for fax machines (if not more) by now.
It's the typical short-sighted, historically blind, attitude of american business.
Read the last paragraph of the article. Forbes knows they're breaking the law. They just don't respect any law that restricts making money, it seems. To them any law that regulates business is draconian. I wonder what their beliefs on extortion are?
The article's tone reguarding people exercising their rights, demonstrates what side they really fall on. (note my emphasis)
The laws and stiff fines ranging from $500 to $1,500--applied to each fax rather than the mass--make junk faxes a tempting target for plaintiffs' attorneys
and similar ilk, who can file private civil actions independent of the FCC's own fines....
But while junk fax bashers champion themselves as defenders of the little guy, or at least his fax machine, the faxers themselves accuse them of running legal shakedown schemes.
Referring to any group as ilk instantly qualifies the utterance as a screed, not journalism.

I remember that, but do you remember the perverted muppets of SNL's first season?
Finally! I'm amazed I had to read this far down to find The Guide quoted.

And you don't have to pay extra for QTSS. It's free and runs on any install, client or server, of OS X.

hmm, domain controller, see OS X Windows services

Oh, and, BTW, it's Mac, not MAC.
Okay, I admit it. It should be 123.0469 TB not 126 TB RAID.

OS X fully supports Journaling, is that good enough for you? (IANASA, so I'm just guessing here)
at least do some math first:
Bet you mistake Ikea furniture as collectible 60's Euro design, too.make that 3.5TB FC raid at $3.14/GB (vs. Dell 2.1 TB at $9.05/GB source ).

executable is also a unix term
The seller sure did a bang up job composititing the brick atop the a-gel onto a table top. Mmmm, that's some good perspective matching!
So, how much did this vial of air cost?
