Not the first time I did something like that... Star Trek series, Star Wars 4-6, Alien series, and assorted scifi or horror movies in one go. All it takes is some practice to control your bladder young padewan.:-P
Actually, I hope to get a full version (all 3 movies) one day so I can watch the whole thing uninterrupted. It's one story, I want to see it as one movie.
Imagine how security and bodyguards around vip's will feel when half the crowd is walking around with their fingers in their ears... Will they make it mandatory for people to keep their hands down when a president passes by?
It's frigging thursday 22:30 over here, and NOW you tell me we are going to be hit by a flare this afternoon!?
What are we? Living in the age where we use pigeons to spread emergency news!?
It might be an idea to develop something that only affects one sort of animal, but in reality that virus wil mutate and infect other species as well. This is just how nature works. And I'm not so sure if it is safer in the US than in Russia. Money greedy people are everywhere.
What you name here is what I can find on the wintel platform too, in business it is about the real software, not the general play an mp3, paint a picture software. Office and cad software is important, desktop publishing software is unmatched as far as I know on a Mac anyway. I want to get myself a G5 one day because I'm interested in what I can do with it, and maybe using it at work will help to give my boss an example of an alternative to the wintels we use now... Besides, a G5 is what gets me the girls according to the movies. *lol*
The problem isn't so much with firewall blocking the ports, but with laptops getting infected at home and then being hooked up on the corporate network. We got hit by the blaster because someone had an infected laptop, and no firewall can block that on the internal network unless you route all traffic across it. The only way to prevent this sort of thing is mandatory patching of systems during the startup of windows through whatever client/distributing server application is available for this. And of course keeping a daily eye on the M$ bulletins and reacting immediatly to these events before another worm is on the loose.
Whoops! Yes, I do notice usernames, but I guess I was too tired to notice you were talking about Mac OS here, heh. Doing way too much overtime does that to me...
I agree with evilpiper, that post is a good example of closed minded people. Maybe it's just too much to ask of people to give everyone their right to use whatever OS/program they want instead of dissing them.
Hmmm... I don't see how *BSD could be less technical than Linux, presuming that's what you're using. *BSD is just as open too, except the license is different, maybe less intruding. It gives everyone a chance to make some money from the software they write/enhance upon. I recommend BSD to people so they don't have to go through all the different distributions of GNU/Linux to find the one that might suit them best. With the three big flavors of BSD you make more of a choice between security, portability, and overall usefulness. And, from what I've heard from several sides, the BSD's and their application ports seem to be more structured than the Linux counterparts. But then *BSD and Linux have different approaches to their development and availability of applications.
I think that's the beauty of the BSD's. I haven't yet tried Open or Net, but I can either let FreeBSD handle things automatically for the most part, or download and compile whatever I need. It's that kind of choice that would have given Windoze a big extra. At one point those OS will come together, when the BSD's can be as simple to install or use as Windoze, and Windoze can be customized as good as the BSD's. Then we can really make a choice on OS.
Actually, I found FreeBSD very easy to install the first time, and also very fast to install.
I was surprised at the speed in which I had FreeBSD/KDE running. Much faster than a Windows 2000 install. Not to mention installing a simple web/ftp/nfs server. That was what I was looking for at that time, a server set up in 5 minutes instead of at least half an hour.
I didn't say it isn't good, in fact, I use it for my servers and I hope to get my new workstation soon so I can install the latest FreeBSD on it.
The trouble is, (most) managers only see what's in the pc magazines so they don't know about the power of *BSD or other OS'.
I'm all in favor of seperate OS versions for server and for desktop uses. I still curse everytime I see totally useless junk installed on a Windoze server like Imaging, Pinball, etc... Hell, if we had our way at work there would have been only a few Windoze boxes left!
What I want is for more people to realise there's more out there than Windoze and GNU/Linux, or Apple. Let them know so they might try something else for a change and in the process improve on internet and intranet.
We know the good stuff, now tell the masses.
Will soon be widly placed on desktops...
I think that's a bit much very premature. So far it's still Windoze, and the hype is Linux, so I think *BSD won't grow that much on the desktop market. Although I would like to see much more articles on using *BSD for the regular consumers.
In the meantime *BSD will keep the important parts of the internet running.
Oh, and no *BSD is dying comments please. It's getting really old and tired to hear that from close minded people...

Now that will be interesting. The MPAA in one corner, SCO in the other, and no-one wants to bet on either of them.
I think I'll use that large storage media that's so popular. I believe they call it "internet" or something.

Does anyone have an Xvid or link to one of that video?
...when they also deliver that option with their chips. Hubba-hubba! *lol*
I don't have a transparent case, you insensitive clod!
and then waiting for the product
Not to mention getting features they don't want or need in the meantime, right Clippy? *pats Clippy on his head*
a mature, secure operating system for general use!
I thought the BSD's and Linux were already going into the right direction for quite a while now...
At mini-itx.com are loads of mods for the VIA mini ITX platform.

Now they'll have to use old planes in the movies, or fake the sonic boom through sound fx.
Yeah, except, or maybe it's just me, it doesn't run well on AMD, VIA, and other x86 compatibles like Intel. ;-)
