Firewire isn't a requirement in itself, but rather an easy way to tell the age of a computer. Any Mac too old to have shipped with firewire is too old to be supported by 10.4
You know, if your employees actually CARE about hooking up their iPods or other MP3 players at work, you should be more concerned about what your employees are actually DOING, as opposed to what data could be stolen.
Charging it? The iPod's battery lasts for eight hours, barely. Most people work for eight hours or more. If you want to listen to music both while working and while getting to and from work then you will have to charge it during the day.
The name has been chosen to honor one of the greatest visionaries of computer supported collaborative writing, Douglas Adams, author of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", one of the funniest and greatest books on earth. In his books he envisioned a travel guide for aliens, which was updated by multiple editors collaborating over the "SubEthaNet". To quote him:
The Guide was compiled by researchers roaming round the galaxy, beaming their copy in, which was then instantly available to anybody to read. Over, believe it or not, something called the SubEthaNet. [...] I really didn't foresee the Internet. But then, neither did the computer industry. Not that that tells us very much of course - the computer industry didn't even foresee that the century was going to end. But I did have the inkling of an idea that a collaborative guide, one that was written and kept up to date by the people who used it, in real time, might be a neat idea.
Let's assume that they are aware of MPlayer's existence, which I doubt, and that it can play DRMed files, which I also doubt.
MPlayer wasn't made by Microsoft, and is even *gasp* an opensource product. There's no way Wallmart can trust that. They just use a white lie and say "It won't play on Mac/Linux" instead of "It might play, but we won't support it on Mac/Linux."

You forgot to use the word "beleaguered" anywhere in your post.
OS X on the other hand has so many directories and soooo many files that column view is the best way to deal with it most of the time
It's not like the number of my own files and folders changed with the OS upgrade. The list view was good enough for me to navigate my own files and folders in Mac OS 9, and it still is.

Command-double-click will open a folder in a new window.
They don't? Did you miss all their attempts to create copy-protected "CD"s?
Yes, this is normal. It always takes a few hours for releases to apear in software update. Don't ask me why.
The first time? No. QuickTime, for one.
Sounds interesting, but not interesting enough for me to do my own research. So, pray tell, what is it that makes pkgsrc superior to Fink?

System 6 was free as in beer, IIRC. I think earlier systems were too.
IIRC Mac OS 8.6 was the highest OS to run on a 68k mac.
Sounds like there are bugs about, and bugs in high profile projects are if not news then at least still interesting for nerds.
I'm on 10.3.5. Fix permissions does not fix bad permissions on /Library/StartupItems/ as one might expect it would. I just tried.

Does this happen anywhere other than Canada?
Sweden, France, and probably most of the EU.

Hey, I can hear my eMac from the other end of the house.
Why can't iTunes share songs over the net?
iTunes used to be able to do that. Then some people used streamrippers to copy the shared music. And now it can't. See also.

Note to self. Use the preview function. :-)

Interesting claim. Care to, you know, back it up with something?
Yes, the 10.3.3 update does include enhancements for the G5's fan control system.
There is also a separate update available for those G5s that are still running Jaguar.

It's most likely not about cost, but size. It'd be hard to put a good FM receiver in the pod while retaining its current size.
Who knows? ;)
Gripen is simply Swedish for The Griffin.
