I use mine for 3 things (and it's one of the reasons I _don't_ have buyer's remorse for just having bought the 1440x960 G4 Powerbook last month): - CF adapter to pull the pictures off my camera (it's so much faster than USB) - Orinoco radio for doing wireless capture with Kismac (Broadcom support isn't as good -- you can capture data, but you don't get management packets and 802.11 acks) - every once in a while, for a SCSI card to pull stuff off of my ancient Zip or Jazz disks

Well, those old farts and their antiquated hobbies (sheesh, does anyone these days still _use_ sewers?!) had just better learn to roll with the punches. I mean, c'mon -- I can get fast broadband access if this goes ahead, so I don't care about ruptured sewer lines or sinkholes or anything like that. Just pee in your Zip-drive. And you can telecommute and order out, so why worry about sinkholes under the roads? This is the 21st century, get out of my way! I want I want I want!
> Everybody knows that American solders are getting killed in the Gulf daily to protect the oil supplies, so these assholes.... blah blah blah
From the first article I found, though from 2001, things haven't changed _that_ drastically. Yap all you want; we're not in Iraq over oil.
"Good-bye Mideast Oil?
The US imports 56 percent of its oil, but only 13 percent comes from the Persian Gulf. (Persian Gulf oil is more crucial to Europe.) The rest comes from Mexico, Canada, the North Sea, Indonesia, Venezuela, and a few other places. The most likely future sources: the Former Soviet Union nations. Conservation, more coal, and alternative energies could eliminate imports from the Persian Gulf."
At least when they were new (dunno if it's changed, but don't really see how it could -- everybody in the GPs and WSB and AMA still wears leather, afaik), the big knock against the kevlar suits was that their coefficient of friction was too low -- you'd slide until you hit something immovable (guardrail, car, etc.). Wrapping yourself in cow is still just about the optimal compromise between slowing down quickly enough and not catching and starting to tumble.
> Taking a camcorder into a theater is breaking the law. If they can spot people with night vision goggles, that's great. They shouldn't be doing it.
Y'know, I think we went through this when that *overbroad* law was passed. If you're completely accurate and it's actually illegal to _take_it_into_the_theater_, that's utter crap.
Don't get me wrong -- if you own a theater (or chain) and you want to have a policy that no recording devices are allowed on the premisis, that's certainly your right, and there are already laws on the books that could deal with people who ignore it (what, trespass or something?). But written into its own law? This is nothing more than the entertainment industry blatantly buying laws to prop up their business model.
*Recording* the movie I can see being illegal. But simply possessing a camera in a theater is worth a fscking year in prison?
I swear, I don't think the entertainment industry could convince me to give them less of my money if they _tried_.
Oh, and for all you "what else could you possibly intend to do with a camera in a theater" wankers: Say I'm from out of town and I want to take my kids to a movie. You're telling me I should go to freaking jail because I don't want to leave my camcorder in the car to either melt or be stolen?
Exactly! Have you noticed that the last 3 or 4 of these oubreaks (at least!) have installed backdoors or keystroke loggers and all anyone will talk about is the SPAM and DDOS aspects of them? Aargh!

Actually, I believe a more appropriate example would be blaming Ford if your car died halfway through an intersection when you pulled out after the low gas chime chimed, the gauge read empty, and the little low gas warning light were on -- and you got hit.
Guess what: machine runs out of fuel? It can't do its job.
Duh...
That's dual- (multi-) booting. That's an entirely different animal than what I'm talking about. I build test VMs, try out new utilities, etc.
I like OS X as my primary environment. Within that session, I have smaller, hosted VMs doing other things. They come and go, while my OS X session is constant. They talk to each other over the virtual network. You can't do that when you're booting one OS at a time.
Yeah, I could go native Linux, and run MOL on top of it, but that kinda defeats the purpose for buyingn my Pbook in the first place. VPC the way it works now, is very useful to me. If they start to optimize it to run windows better, at the expense of non-windows guest OSs, I will be sad.
Is there any kind of PPC virtualization (ala MOL) that runs hosted on OS X? That would be a start... And I am poking around at Bochs, too.
The thing that frightens me about MS owning VirtualPC is that I (and hell, maybe I'm alone, but I wouldn't have thought so entirely) don't use VirtualPC to run Windows. I use it to run Linux (several different distros), FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD on my Mac. What are the chances that VPC is going to be well tested against running anything but Windows in future versions?
Every comment I've seen on this mentions that it's in MS' best interests to have it run Windows well. That's the problem! C'mon folks, x86 means more than just Windows!
Can somebody please explain how this is so different from the transparent proxy setup (ipf/ipnat rules and squid) that's been well documented in, for example, the OpenBSD world for..... well for a really long time?
By most accounts, NTFS is one of the better filesystems ever written. Journaling, ACLs, decent performance.
... fragments all to heck and back. Ever notice the absence of "defragger" utils in the non-microsoft world? IIRC, I'd read that NTFS was one of the _worst_ fragmenting filesystems.

Uhh, no they shall not. To the trash with you!
Ouch. I wonder what that means for an OOo 2.0 (and beyond) version of NeoOffice/J?

VMWare is not an emulator, it's a virtualizer. Bochs is an emulator.

Bah. ncftp, wget, and curl run just fine from Terminal.app. :-)
Thank you! Can't live without "CTL" on both sides of the spacebar (15" TiBook). :-)
Can anyone confirm whether uControl (or Doublecommand) still work? Or do I need to wait for an updated release? Thanks!

Well, technically only /.ers lucky enough to use Thinkpads and _unlucky_ enough to use Windows can do that. It's a function of the Windows driver. ;-)
On a *cough* normal *cough* OS, it's just a nice, simple, loveable 3-button PS2 mouse, just like it should be in X.
