hey retard.
Any idiot with half a brain would realize that the $140 PCI nic is an add on.
The Powermac has INCLUDED
Built-in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
on the motherboard.
Lets see what's new: With WMP 9, your web browser is able to play WM files right within the browser. Unfortunately, MS didn't go far enough in working on these plugins -- so far only Safari, and (two "dead" browsers) Netscape and Mac IE are supported.
OK, MSN Explorer for Mac is supported, too, but for example, WM is as dead as before in Camino 0.7+. I bet I'm not alone in wondering what's the thinking behind the plugin development for browsers which development has been abandoned.

I have a question. It's surprising that Senior Editor of Hardware Reviews Eliot Van Buskirk is so out of touch with his own department.
In his "Five reasons to not buy an iPod" article"http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6450_7-510232 4-1.html he lists areas where the iPod needs improvement.
I've browsed CNET itself for reviews of the "better than iPod players" (as mentioned in the "five reasons not to buy an iPod article). All of them scored lower than the iPod on CNET reviews.
The Dell Digital Jukebox DJ is "Highly recommended" and scored an 8/10. http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_Digita...7-305 82921.h tml
The iRiver iFP-395T is "very good" and scored an 8.7/10. http://reviews.cnet.com/iRiver_iFP_...7-3 0425795.h tml

Sorry for that rant but here at last is my question. I am wondering when you'll run similar "Five reasons not to buy" pieces for the aforementioned players?
the money all goes to the largest demographic of longhaired dope fiends, queers & draft dodging musicians and entertainment executives.
wow.. you must have really hated WWDC 2003. with the iChat AV video conference with France and Gore and all.. nader was in there too!
you think being an apple fan would say something about folks...then again wasn't Rush Limbaugh a mac fan??
but at the end of the day your enthusiasm for the last generation has more to do with you not having the latest iPod and wanting to compensate and rationalize your jealousy.
the new ipod: smaller, faster, brighter and classier too!
It doesn't require batteries???.
What does it run on... thumb power?
I think they mean it now uses rechargeable batteries.

I was reading the fabled halloween documents that emanated from Redmond WA and I was surprised to note Microsoft's view of the development of Linux and also even more so the response of the Linux hacker that was reviewing the Halloween document.
And I quote from the following URL:

Linux is a real, credible OS + Development process
Like other Open Source Software (OSS) products, the real key to Linux isn't the static version of the product but rather the process around it. This process lends credibility and an air of future-safeness to customer Linux investments.
Trusted in mission criticial environments. Linux has been deployed in mission critical, commercial environments with an excellent pool of public testimonials.
Linux = Best of Breed UNIX. Linux outperforms many other UNIX's in most major performance category (networking, disk I/O, process ctx switch, etc.). To grow their featurebase, Linux has also liberally stolen features of other UNIX's (shell features, file systems, graphics, CPU ports)
Only Unix OS to gain market share. Linux is on track to eventually own the x86 UNIX market and has been the only UNIX version to gain net Server OS market share in recent years. I believe that Linux -- moreso than NT -- will be the biggest threat to SCO in the near future.
Linux's process iterates VERY fast. For example, the Linux equivalent of the TransmitFile() API went from idea to final implementation in about 2 weeks time.

Someone please explain to me how the editors of the review of the Halloween Documents did not defend the independent development of the Linux OS and what possible ramifications this admission (if it is such) has on the current SCO fiasco?
I've been toying around with the new IP over Firewire and noticed something quite interesting.
I've got my iBook connected to the second fw400 port on my DP1.25ghz fw800 MDD powermac. The first fw400 port on my powermac is used by my 30gig iPod.
I installed the new release on both machines and when I had rebooted my iPod showed up on both my iBook and my Powermac.
I don't know if this was Rendezvous, which I know is now implemented on the new release.
I can see how this could be quite useful in a setting where an external Firewire device, say a DVD burner or HardDisk, could be easily shared between two computers.
I have my home lan networked with a linksys router and the ADSL modem that SBC gave me.
I'm not using SBC/Yahoo just SBC.
The router itself logs into SBC via PPoE and acts as a DHCP server for my lan.
I've got a 802.11b network setup with a linksys access point and it works fine on my iBook and my dads powerbook.
The macs are all os x and they all "auto-configure" themselves.
Oh this is my first/. post:)

Those ITT Tech adverts promise that once I graduate I'll be entering a booming job market. Oh and I won't have to live from paycheck to paycheck.
I've used postfix enabler successfully on my 10.3 machine. I've sent emails with 5mb attachments to friends and they've gotten them fine.

I have Pacific Bell slash SBC as an ADSL provider.

This feature is not present in jaguar.
Software updates are tied to OS updates as far as the free digital lifestyle iApps are concerned.
As long as security updates are available to all OS's I don't think thats a problem.

The point isn't "free" as in "free-OS". The point is embracing open standards.
Apple might have a proprietary OS in Panther but it is based on standards that allow for easy networking and integration into existing frameworks.
well the next question is how to port quicktime to linux.
has this been done?
wow.. you must have really hated WWDC 2003.
with the iChat AV video conference with France and Gore and all..
nader was in there too!

but at the end of the day your enthusiasm for the last generation has more to do with you not having the latest iPod and wanting to compensate and rationalize your jealousy.
the new ipod: smaller, faster, brighter and classier too!
So I am a new user and I'm leaving BitTorrent running on my powermac so others can take advantage of my broadband bandwidth. ...spare some karma??
It doesn't require batteries???. What does it run on... thumb power? I think they mean it now uses rechargeable batteries. http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboyad vance_sp/battery_faq.jsp
