Actually, some would say that the DOJ attorneys, i.e. 'wonderboy' Boies, made a fool out of the judge. Jackson was duped and become so blatantly and clearly partisan that he lost most credibility.
C'mon. Steve Jobs is slicker than that. He probably moves as smooth in political circles as Larry Ellision.
The famous quote from Microsoft is Bill Gates saying 'I regret that we now have to maintain a Washington presence.' Gates always considered politics a vulgar activity he wanted nothing to do with. Until the poly-tricksters started getting their ear bent by the coalition of crybabies, that is.
Clearly they weren't giving out the info to anybody, at any cost, before. Any business that is seriously intending to compete with Microsoft will have no problem signing an NDA and paying a few thousand for the info. That's standard business practice, as followed by almost any other vendor.
I've started selling Macintosh used and N.O.S. hardware on eBay. One thing I've discovered is that Apple customers are quick payers, and they'll bid things up a lot more than the typical 'clone' buyer.
I have noticed a few odd things about the error pages that seem to be more and more common on Slashdot lately. I have two machines, a W2K box and a NetBSD box, behind a NAT router, that I use a KVM switch to switch between.
The W2K machine consistently gets more of the '500 Internal Server Error' screens when reading slashdot. Sometimes I just give up and switch to the NetBSD box (part of the reason for using the W2K box primarily is it has the faster processor, a P3 800, whereas the NetBSD box has a PPro 200 and is often being used to burn CDR media, etc.)
Is Slashdot using the User agent info to selectively 'blow off' certain clients during peak usage times??
(Now I am getting them while trying to post this comment, on a beige G3 Macintosh with OS 9.2.1 and IE 5.1)
Almost exactly 50% of the voting public 'selected' the president.
It's plain fact that if Algore had been able to get the 'favorite son' vote, or nearly any other additional state to carry for him, that he'd be president now. But he couldn't even get the Tennessee voters, those who puportedly should know a LOT about him, to vote for him. So he lost the election.

Are there any suggestions for MacOS 9.2.1?
I run that on my aging beige G3 and miss the functionality that I have on W2K with Adobe Acrobat. My Acrobat is way out of date, too, now, at 4.0 but I refuse to throw more money at them.
I can understand your point of view, since it sounds almost as if you make most of your money on markups of new parts.
However, I can get buy Pentium Pro and Pentium II systems by the skid at auction and pay $1-5 per box. I think your pessimism is valid in cases where the customer comes running to your cash register waving a credit card, and less so when it's a non profit that has volunteer labor and might even have a few computer geeks hanging around.
One of them being a file/print server. The server because the motherboard has no fans and a 500Mhz C3 is more than enough to dio what that system does.
A little 386SX motherboard doesn't have a fan, and it would make a print server at a significantly lower cost...
For a file server, you put an old Pentium 90 board in a huge tower case and shove it in a closet.
Many of the people who I see here giving examples of their ITX server seem to have spent quite a bit of time coming up with an excuse to spend the money, for the most part...
I couldn't find anywhere in the article where rewards were being offered for snitching on other kids.
However, you're just implying that they would go that far. It was clever of you to put the implication part up in the title away from the rest of your text.
So what you're saying is that a good exploit only needs to be a trojan that runs at user-level (no manipulation of anything critical) and asks the admin password (which everybody is so used to handing out all the time). Getting regular users used to using sudo a lot isn't necessarily a good thing.
Putting Netscape out of business wasn't that bad a thing.
It knocked smug Marc Andreesen off his high horse, and it resulted in the open source Mozilla project.
If Netscape had prevailed, they'd still be introducing unsanctioned tags and HTML extensions. They'd still be closed source. They'd still be pushing their server products against Apache.
In a sense, Microsoft did us a favor by shutting down that closed source shop.

I have consistently had more of those errors when browsing Slashdot on W2K than on NetBSD, both using Mozilla behind the same NAT router.
User Agent trickery??

If you don't have the old machines kicking about, you go to a thift store or an auction and pay $1-5 for them.

Which two countries did we invade for oil?
They have oil in Afghanistan?
Further, Sadaam would have been happy to sell us as much of his oil as we wanted for cold cash. We liberated Iraq for much more complex reasons.
Your point just screams out the truth, which is that there wasn't a viable reason that the 'oil men' would have wanted to invade Iraq.
However, that unravels the 'no blood for oil' mantra you or your buddies have been chanting.
Huh?
My car has been paid for for almost five years. And I bought it used over eight years ago.
I like it that there are stupid people out there making sure there are great used cars for me to buy at significantly lower prices than new, though.
Actually, 'hippies' didn't kick ass at all. They were peaceful sorts and tried to be simple, honest, and good people.
However, the term 'hippie' has been vigorously remanufactured by many, many different forces, from advertising executives to Oliver Stone.
If you're under 30 you weren't even alive before 'the death of hippie' occured.
The people speaking in schools are volunteers, people from the local communities. Junior Achivement is a community based organization.

However, a strong perception that the Game Cube is the 'kiddie console' will drive away anybody 8 years or older by droves.

Build a computer that uses all CMOS static registers.
Attach a hall-effect sensor to a hamster wheel to drive the clock.
Go out and buy a hamster.
Yes. And there are hundreds of 'forks' of Linux and one FreeBSD.
Better check on more than the fsf.org site for complete information....
There are standard formats for all the things that Outlook does??
Why don't you mellow out and use Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris x86, or QNX then?
It's not like you don't have free choice in the matter.

Jon Katz was on NPR this morning talking about his Border Collies.
He's more and more on NPR. I think he's established there, now, because I've heard him doing various 'bits' and interviews on a variety of topics.
