"Are there any distributions out there that can auto-mount SMB shares as home directories without heavy modification?"
It takes 3 shellcommands and inserting your favorite validation-server to hook up an osx-client on an AD-server, SMB-shares included (not DFS though, as far as I know)
Though the 'redundancy'-suggestion is quite good, the price is too high. Another suggestion might be some satellites in geostationary orbit, dedicated in (1)observing the life and times of Mars-rovers and (2) continually streaming everything back to Earth. Minimum of 4, 8 would be nice. Add some AI or expert-system to manage them and the whole project would not depend so much on the connection between Earth and Mars. They could hang around for quite a few years and after the write-off of the rovers they (the satellites) could continue with observation of the climate etc. Expensive as well but hey, I'd rather have an expensive system in safe orbit than on the less safe surface.
If the criminal got caught in the Netherlands, he could apply for tax-deduction: the cost of the camera, the developing/printing and distribution can be deducted. Because: without the investment, the crime would not have been committed. And that's the child pornographers' right in the Netherlands. Same applies for guns.
No, I'm not kidding: http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/17479421/Misdad iger_kan_pistool_declareren.html (To cost According to director Gerard Sta of the office Ontnemingen Public Prosecution Service is it indeed possible that criminal cost that has been made for committing a indictable offence, can deduct. It concerns costs which have an direct relation with the indictable offence. Costs would not have made therefore that an offender differently. A second condition is that the indictable offence must be completed be, thus stands. The law goes there according to stands from that the financial situation of the bank robber after ' payment ' with justice the same must be as for the overval. The robber of the bank in Chaam had buy that weapon to be able rob that bank. It sounds perhaps a beetje oddly, but this way is the law. Director Sta gives still a another example: "if a hemp plantation is closed down the grower can indicate which onkosten he has made.")
Lousy translation, but you get the idea. The deduction should only be applied AFTER arrest, not before. The IRS are not stupid.
Every company will claim it's a joe-job, purely meant to give them a bad name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_job If I would collect door-to-door advertising stuff for a year, till I had a load of over 100 kilo's, and then dump it all at once in your mailbox: who would you blaim? The companies? They'd claim they didn't do it. And you wouldn't know I did it because you would think the companies did it. Same goes for email, but then easier.
The solution is legislature. Reverse verification, eliminate zombies, that sort of stuff. And keep your emailaddress hidden.
But US and UK doctors said repetitive use could cause arthritis or harm tendons in the thumb.
This applies to textmessaging, slotmachines, heck: operating the guillotine with thumbs could, in the long run, give you arthritis etc. Wikipedia has a good link, though I'm afraid that too many of you are already aware of the syndrome:

Correct: the revision A eMac had defective idap-cables (fixed in B), the revision A iMac had dodgy modem and ethernet software/firmware (fixed in B), the first few iMac G5's had noisy 220V-psu's, fixed in later machines. Warranty still applied, but have it working perfectly out of the box is nicer IMHO.
Sadly you are very correct. The Dutch in indonesia suffered from the Japanese invasion in 1942, because at that time it was a colony of Holland. In 1945 the Dutch were liberated. After the war, the Dutch however disallowed the independence of Indonesia in 1945 and sent troops to suppress the locals, the so-called 'politional actions'. (comparable with the US _not_ being at war with Vietnam). After political pressure of the US in 1949 the Indonesian independance was accepted: it had cost a lot of lives.
Mod me off-topic, mod me troll, I haven't had coffee yet and still ashamed of the Dutch atrocities.
That's correct, version 3.02 if I'm not mistaken. ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/navigator/3.02/shippi ng/english/mac/ppc/gold/netscape3.02Gold_EX.bin Wasn't that a version that came with the 'unfreeze' or 'anti-freeze'-extension? Brrr... And remember that W95 was originally never meant to ship with an Internet Explorer, if my memory serves though has well.

>No it was not the very latest printing of the CD. It was the one that came with the computer.
Dell, according to vicious rumours, ships their computers with cd's with builtin spyware. and their tecksupport is not allowed to advise you how to get rid of it (legal reasons). And did Belkin not ship one of their routers a bit... erm... different?
>Apple = cool = more chance to date a bikini model => we buy iPod
A bit off-topic, but yes: I met my girlfriend whilst working for Apple. We both did work there actually.
[ontopic again]And even a decade ago, when Apple was not considered 'a fashion company', they were already considered 'cool'.
okay, now, apart from playing all the Pink Floyd you own: does it boot an emac into OS X Server? No? Then it's just not in the same league. The ipod is an external storage device also capable of playing music, for some of us anyway. But hey, we can't ALL be system admins, can we?

When I was young, a Cray was synonymous for supercomputer. Whenever Asimov wrote about Multivac, a SF supercomputer, I couldn't help imagining a Cray. That was lightyears away, before I joined the IT.
Now, married with children, having worked for Apple for years and actually seen dozens of XServes humming quietly and content all together in one room, covering walls, I still thought: nice, but not a Cray.
I hope I'll never see one in real life, I'm quite sure I would be disappointed.
