Consortium
Etymology: Latin, sharing, partnership, from consort- consors sharer, partner
1 : an agreement, combination, or group (as of companies) formed to undertake an enterprise beyond the resources of any one member
Why doesn't the consumer group go after Napster and OD2, both of which operate in Britain and actually cost up to 20% more than iTunes?
It's not a question of price versus the alternatives - the 'illegal' (IANAL) part of it is that here are rules in the European Union that specifically forbid companies from charging more in one country than in another. Well, actually, they don't forbid that, but they do forbid companies from preventing the citizens of the more expensive country from buying in the cheaper country.
The point is not 'iTunes is cheaper in France/Germany than Britain'. The point is actually 'British-based European citizens are prevented from using the cheaper French/German iTunes' and *that* is illegal.

Christmas Bonuses?

Since it's a Well Known Fact (tm) that it's better to give than to receive, surely you would be helping to make your employees happier, more rounded individuals if you encouraged them to give you something, rather than all this hippy, 'let's share the wealth, man' stuff.
Seriously though, I hope for the future prospects of your company (and consequently the continued employment of your staff) that you manage to become more decisive about this financial stuff. We don't all have the time to help you out everytime you need to make a decision.
FWIW, if it were me in charge, I would never use the words 'Christmas Bonus' or anything involving the word 'Bonus'. I would pitch it as a 'profitability party' and take them all white water rafting, or bowling or something similar with taxis to get them home afterwards. That way everyone has a blast, they know that it's because you got profitable and there won't be another one unless you *stay* profitable. It's also equitable because everyone got to go to the same place at the same time - no percentage crap.
This morning I updated to 10.2.8 via Software Update. Now I have no internet connection. I suppose that fixes the ssh DoS problem!
The low-level connection seems fine. Network Utility reports a 100MB active connection with packest sent and recieved just fine. The Network setup is OK. However, I can't find the DNS servers, DHCP doesn't work, nothing.
I guess its back to the backup copy and try again.
Of course, I may not be the only one - perhaps I'm the only one with access to a second machine close at hand.
Is anyone out there not there? Raise your hands...
Of course, it's always possible that your headaches are causing the weather disturbances. Never underestimate your own importance in the Grand Scheme of Things (tm).
I'm not sure exactly about the precise definition of the 'roaming home directory', but I know that in my office, my user share is 'synchronised' (both ways) in an intelligent fashion (just the changes, ma'am, we just want the changes) from my laptop running Win 2000 to a file server. I can't currently do that with an Apple Laptop unless I shell out for 3rd party software (Synchronise Pro) and even then I'm not clear if I can get it to work over an SMB share.
If I unplug the laptop, go to a conference, edit files and then come back, when I log in to the Windows network again, it updates files properly.
This must be something different from the roaming profile above because it refuses to consider.ost files in the process or access database files for that matter.
I would love to be able to do that with an Apple laptop (and throw away that piece of ancient Toshiba cr*p that I'm currently forced to use)

There are recorded examples of 'split personality' chickens, with the one side being male and the other side being female.
...whatever, it's possible, yes
It appears to arise from a fertilisation event involving the polar body that results in a chimaera

I guess that should read that the bits that are actually working are running on linux

Feel free to write one and post it somewhere. These things don't happen by magic you know.
