I work in biomedical research IT. SO works as a vet tech in the animal facility. She catches so many scientists violating protocols to the detriment of the animals well-being (esp post-docs from Asia) that we do not have much faith at all in the common sense and compassion of the scientists. I'm so glad my SO is a bleeding-heart animal lover who does a thankless job that bums her out way too often. I'm sure you take great care of your animals, but don't delude yourself that your colleagues do too...
If you've got a newer MBP with a multitouch trackpad, I can't understand why you'd ever want a mouse. From two-finger scrolling and two-finger clicking to three-finger gestures and beyond, I've never wanted to go back to a mouse. I feel the multitouch trackpad is the best input device improvement since the original mouse.
Have you played with the new multi-touch trackpads on Mac laptops? Two finger scrolling and clicking makes right clicks and N-button mice obsolete. It hurts to use other trackpads or mice afterwards.

When the court was founded, it was composed of seven federal district judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States, each serving a seven year term, with one judge being appointed each year. In 2001, the USA PATRIOT Act expanded the court from seven to eleven judges, and required that at least three of the judges of the court be from within twenty miles of the District of Columbia. No judge may be appointed to this court more than once, and no judge may be appointed to both the Court of Review and the FISC.
Please blame Rehnquist and Roberts for the "liberal" composition of the FISA court.

One note: Safari and older versions of Opera, both fantastic browsers, don't yet support everything that's needed to do WYSIWYG, but we fully expect new versions of those browsers will continue to improve their standards support, so it may just be a matter of time.
The main advantage of 64 bit processors is addressing oodles of memory. Processes running on a G5 with Tiger can address said oodles of memory. 64 bit procs are a loss in almost every other aspect. A fully 64 bit Tiger would be slower and more bloated. Read more here. OSs for Joe 6pack will be fully 64 bit when processors and the default amount of RAM installed increase by an order of magnitude and make the bloat negligible. That gives Apple roughly 3 years to "catch up."
Yellow dog is just a Red Hat rebuild. YDL 4 is based off of Fedora Core 2. You won't have to learn something else for your x86 boxen. Tough luck with the SPARC and ARM boxen you have laying around...

um... a lot of us work in biomedical research facilities like this one? i've certainly passed this link around to my colleagues today.

whoosh! please reread the last sentence.
Have you never looked in /System/Library/Frameworks/?
Wait- I thought the Windows version was 3 years behind the Mac version.

The only thing left to do in such a situation is post in the thread so all your moderations are revoked.
heh- you know, I post so infrequently that I forget that I even have a sig. I guess that makes me more the fool. HAND.
Can you say not hot swappable?
well said. I've sent this post id to my vegan family members.

rsync -az -e ssh user@remote_host:/dir/ /local_dir/
which has better performance assuming no speedup for rsync due to common files?
you can download updates to the core OS here. getting iLife updates would be another matter...
I'm interested in your theories and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
this could change everything!!
Why not X11.app?
