I have been running Debian with XFCE on my eMac for a few years now and would recommend it. Alsa is buggy, you need to run alsa-conf each time after a reboot, limited Flash (PPC in general), limited Win codecs (PPC in general), depending on your hardware version the display settings can be funky and may need to be changed before you run X for the first time. It would be a better choice on the hardware, I tried Fedora for a moment and promptly went back to Debian.

It's chaise longue, bozo -- as in long chair.
Your argument is about two hundred years too late, English speakers haven't said long chair in a long time. It is lounge as in lazy.
OpenSolaris is up to the task on old Toshiba laptops also. I have 2008.11 running on an old Toshiba Satellite 1135-S1553 and haven't had any problems. I really didn't expect everything to work so I was pretty happy with the install.
Exactly, a lot of people here don't seem to realize Apple had their OS on other peoples machines and it really hurt them. They didn't sell product because the other machines kicked ass. Power Computing made awesome machines and had awesome marketing that made them look like Apple reincarnate. Radius had a 8100 clone that looked way cooler than any beige box Apple sold, perfect for Radius' graphic/video market, plus they were the former Mac team. Motorola had a cheap PPC box, Daystar had a dual and quad processor clone, and Umax had some nice cheap albeit ugly machines.
I would buy a clone in a second if the company wouldn't be obliterated before my warranty ended. But it won't happen because the aesthetic merits of a Macintosh,iPod,iPhone,iWhatever, would be cheapened by low end consumer bullshit... Which is how Apple would see it and rightly so. It is trite, but a Lexus LX is cooler than a Land Cruiser. Pretty much the same car, but the price and packaging is different. One you take offroad and have fun in, the other you can too but most want to be seen in it (i.e no dust). Shit, maybe Apple should do as Toyota. Make cheap computers under another name for a separate demographic.

I chose this moment to stop listening to that report. I am always amazed at the simpletons on that channel, although since 2000 we have been in the dumb down the public era.
I think that would be an ideal setup to run Vista on. I heard that with SP1 you might only need half of the equipment you currently have. Totally, think about the botnet that system would host. Start the matrix man!
Better yet, Hardcore Computing (Hardcore, Computist, or whatever other name it went under) for the Apple II was great cracking magazine. I remember another book/magazine for the commodore that was pretty good and had a few volumes was Kracker Jax. Good stuff, the reason I learned assembler for the 6502 and 68000 series.
It was really cool how easy it was to defeat Mac copy protection with some NOPs and Branches after seeing some insane Apple II and C=64 schemes.
I don't understand why one would want to copy such a soulless user interface...A lightweight Linux UI that copies Win95, that copied MacOs, that copied Lisa, that copied the Altos/Star. It even has that horrible windows font! They should just rename it Nostalgia, Equinox sounds too cool for this thing.
Except in a Unix environment the average user wouldn't know the different commands are all linked to the same one. ls, dir, list, catalog, cat, files... it wouldn't matter,you could make up anything you want. They would all perform the same function. In a command line environment the user choices would be endless. A GUI would be a different situation, and the features in that GUI are only relevant to each "distribution" also.
I agree with that. I have always thought the problem with many Linux user interfaces is that they interpret the feature bloat and mouse geography of a Windows interface. And, now some competing with the eye candy of an Aqua interface. The benefit is that transferring users from those platforms makes an easy transfer but the interface isn't a pragmatic or economical one (in terms of usage).
Upon seeing this thread I looked up Human Computer Interaction, a journal I used to read regularly and unfortunately the current state of user interfaces may be a sign of the times. Their web page is a sorriest example of their subject.
History constitutes less than 2000 years. Thats the farthest back for which there are any usable records. Historical sciences can go back much farther. Ice cores have been mentioned, prehistory can be documented with carbon dating, pollen analysis can recreate the flora of the past, and geology all of which help document climate change even on micro levels.
Nothing known to science allows temperature measurements with the kind of accuracy you claim for other than the last 200 years.
Sorry, but western American archaeology, among other regions, relies on a lot of evidence to document a prehistory which has been greatly effected by environmental changes, again as mentioned above we have an abundance of geological and biological data.
...Webmaster: Did Apple slap us with a S&D letter?
In English, the word "cease" does not start with the letter "S." It's a letter from Steve Jobs and it's a little different, it's called a "Search & Destroy" letter.
What a great game, played a lot of D&D/AD&D through the 80's and wasted so many hours playing video games influenced by it (Ultima, Bard's Tale, Wizardry, and countless early 80's knockoffs). Popularizing role playing was genius and had a side effect which was good for society, I can think of no other way one can get kids to the library for researching castle design, medieval history, or developing map making skills. Probably one of the reasons I ended up studying anthropology now I think about it.
From the website:
He is highly thought of as one of the most powerful warriors alive. Although he is still young, Windows Vista Sensei is said to possess different strengths and confidence not known to anyone. He is already beginning to gain such world fame at his young age that folks are writing stories about him. That's quite some selective perception, I can't even believe this is real!!
The military has a past with Apple which is probably one of the factors. Apple made a hardened A/UX on Mac II's for the Worldwide Military Command and Control System. They had a Xserve contract for the MACH5 super computer for the Army Research and Development Command. Some larger defense contractors used Mac networks in the past such as TRW and Grumman. It wouldn't surprise me if they hardened the OS for this contract as well.
From article: "Until updates are made available, users should only play FLAC files from trusted sources. To date, however, FLAC files are rarely seen in the wild."
Ironic since I read this article while listening to a just downloaded Devo show in flac format. Considering the number of live music torrent sites ( e.g. archive.org,trader's den, etree , and
dime a dozen) that mostly offer FLAC I am surprised by the statement. I also would think that people wanting lossless quality audio will be checking their hashes anyways for audio integrity and it won't be a problem. There is also a difference in leaching an album in FLAC off a torrent site and audiophiles listening to live music, the former would be inclined to listen to mp3 rips anyways. Good to know, but the security implications seem a stretch.
Studio recordings were never an issue, nobody trades those and most are pretty lame anyways. It is soundboard recordings, some of which are made at concerts via patches supplied by the band to those in the taper's section. Others being released through the "band" or given out to friends who sent them out in the wild. The obvious evolution was putting recordings up on TLA, no longer do you get a muddy audio tape or hissy soundboard back in the mail, you sample them first which is very nice. The problem is, there was never a problem with audience or soundboard recordings, they just don't want them all in one categorized place. They obviously want to open their vault up a la iTunes and there was a problem with the "band" doing this in the past with an outside entity, Microsoft being one making an offer.
Sure, this will not stop downloading, since the trading policy is in effect. However the lamest part is not being able to sample the sound quality. Some peoples version of great quality is not too accurate and makes replacing old tapes difficult when finding a better source.
The lack of foresight of the band is amusing, because their tapes would be much better than some of the crappy soundboards floating around with cuts, dropouts, spliced with audience sources, bad pitch, etc. They could even have started by filling in gaps that have not been circulated, poeple would have bought those! They also better be loseless shows because nobody in their right mind would pay for them, and that is a lot of work for a company not sustaining itself on tour revenue anymore.

Do deadheads really need Dick's Pick #538 anyways?
I totally agree, when OS8 came out I promptly d/led the latest version of MkLinux. I was sick of the System 7 interface by the time 7.5 came out, then 7.6, then 8, then 9. I was missing good features on my PM6500, but it wasn't networked at the time anyways and could always boot in to MacOs for ethernet or to access my A/V hardware . If it wasn't for the release OSX I wouldn't have bought another Mac, which I have used since the Plus, and at that time I adopted my wife's intel box and ran Slackware. The drag now is I've gotten shell lazy and haven't used X in a long time.
historically none will default singular, as linked, an conveys a number or adjective, adding the ne prefix creates a pronoun. the link fails to mention aelfred's biblical use much earlier, and plural use is much less common.
none can also be a singular plural in a group reference from our french influence with on, third person singular. the use in english is in what is inferred, most often a single group entity, including the individual members of the group.
I don't know if there are some Mac addicts here who can remember it, but the "AV" machines back then (660 AV and 840AV iirc) with their AT&T 3210 DSP, GeoPort, etc... were nicknamed Mac III
And of course were an horrible flop:)
not with people doing graphics. the 840av was freakin awesome; fast, radius graphics options, video out options, a nice tower... i was blown away when i saw the graphics produced during this area. never heard of it as a mac iii either.
Is it just me or am I the only one not to notice Al Gore's name in arpanet/ddn news or tcp-ip digest? maybe you're right, hacking computers on the internet was more fun than x.25 networks back then, thanks Al, those long numbers were so hard to remember!
didn't chomsky and pinker already discuss this. i don't think they needed birds, so what is the lesson, birds have a generative grammar so people must too. the header to this topic is irrelevant, out of touch and out of date.
I was looking for something that encompassed both the written word and the spoken word
It is difficult to put the two within one idea. Written word, as well as spoken written word, is most often a forced and fictionalized account of "normal" discourse. This is most often seen in news broadcasts where the viewers notion of linguistic competence and performance is high, influencing Standard American English or any other cultures language fascists. On the other hand it seems the key to good script writing is the invisible script, read lines that don't appear read. To get back on topic, Adams's writings are humorously fictionalized.
