Better education for children and adults, and a reduction in the unsupervised time for children through social programs will dollar-for-dollar go much farther toward reducing reducing incidences (reported and non-reported) of sexual assault.
Whoo! You want children to be subjected to 24/7 supervised time? No time at all to just be kids? A totally saturated Sesame Street regime for the kids?
Wow, man. Bring on the mandatory UPS-tracked harnesses, I guess.
Exactly correct, and shows why, until we can have a system which never convicts an innocent person under any circumstances, we cannot even consider use of the death penalty. Ever.
That's a little like saying that until we can have airplanes that never crash and kill innocent people, under any circumstances, we cannot consider civillian air travel. Ever.
When most people think 'engineering workstation' they refer to the classic EDA apps. To quote someone whose comment paralleled mine:
Unfortunately, you can't run Modelsim, Synopsys, or other EDA tools on it:(
Perhaps they aren't used heavily in all fields of engineering, perhaps including yours.
There are a shocking number of new 'disciplines' that get called 'engineering' these days. I hearken back to the classic definition. There are basically three kinds of engineers: Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Chemical Engineers. All the others are poseurs.
Audiophiles aren't using an iPod. Most definitely not in settings where a 'dock' would be useful, anyway. Perhaps for extremely portable settings, but none will use compressed audio in a 'room-speaker' setting.
If you want to, say, use an old Mac as an X terminal, you'll probably not want to tunnel it through ssh if you're on a local-only network. An old Mac can make a fine X terminal, running NetBSD or something similar. You'll bog it down badly by forcing it to encrypt all traffic to the machine running the X clients.
If you've ever enabled sshd on an SE/30 running NetBSD and had to wait while it generated the keys, you know what I mean.
And if it's an old Mac, just install Darwin. It has the X11 server built right in.
I've never run OS-X because I haven't wanted to spend the $$ for it, and have it shit all over my relatively nice Apple hardware (nice defined as a torqued out Beige G3 tower). Darwin runs great on it.
So, is there any Engineering Workstation software out for OS-X yet?
Can I generate schematics, autoroute circuit boards from them?, run simulations? Can I program FPGAs on a Mac? Is there much, if any, engineering software at all?
I pay About $16 a month for weekly trash pickup, living on a rural midwestern highway.
They haul off anything I put out there. Dead iMacs galore. I try to keep it from getting ridiculous, i.e. I don't put more than three or four monitors out on any particular week.
I remember in high school back in the 70's that they demonstrated to us that we could save our BASIC programs on paper tape if we punched down the right buttons on the side of the teletype right after typing LIST but before typing the CarriageReturn.

One is that we know we have killed people for crimes which they did not commit.
We also know that a small percentage of people have been killed who were innoculated by flu vaccines.

I pay less than $1200 a year. But, then, we only have 4.8 acres here.
Sucks to live where it's trendy.
There are scholarship programs for people without a six figure income.
My nephew goes to a $25K school and gets a $15K scholarship.
Mellow out. You're sounding panicky because someone else hopped off the hamster wheel. Is your wheel squeaky?
I can't justify a $300 keyboard for all the different systems I work on. Machines in the lab, machines at my desk, machines at home.
I guess a desk jockey can justify it.

I have USB speakers.
Kinda sorta an 'embedded iPod' in a way.
And years ahead of the iPod, I bought mine in 1997.
Yep. Problem is, that's where you now work...

Yes, but I just opened up a shell window in Emacs (esc-X-shell) and when I tried to run vi, it came back:
sapphire: {1} vi
Error: tigetnum: lines: No such file or directory
ex/vi: error initializing terminal
And I was able to easily cut and paste that text from Xemacs to this comment window in Mozilla using the X cut and paste.
So neaner, neaner. Or something.
So what you're really saying is there was Network Transparency, and Apple threw it away, probably for political and marketing reasons.
The NIH? NI! tradition lives on.

You qualify as I.T.
Now, fetch a new toner cartridge for the Ljet4 up on third floor, willya? Hop to it, IT guy.

The best term to annoy Macintosh ranters is Darwin with X11 running.
Which, incidentally, is a great combination on an old Beige G3.

You should see the back room, where they haul all the 'casulties' after hours.
There's a reason they're all the same brand. Completely interchangeable. Undetectably switchable.
Yikes. Where is it in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file?
I don't use control spaniels to fetch anything.
