That is what we do in our world, the Windows service(aka samba) integrates really well into the OD domain, same usernames, same passwords, changes in one are reflected in the other etc. Of course if Microsoft could actually give in and use open standards(aka LDAP), then everything would be a lot simpler.
which is probably the biggest thing wrong with the server machine. A lot of servers that we run use both jacks that standard in all rackmountables. I guess you could use the wifi or buy an ethernet USB dongle.....
Actually any mac will run OS X server, the big difference is that you have to pony over $500 to load OS X server on the non-XServe(and now this box) machines. You could run OS X server from a macbook air if you really wanted to.
As an admin on a mix mac/linux network(well, we do have to support 4 pcs, but only grudingly), I would say that Apple's tools are pretty nice, and have progressed immensely during the lifespan of Leopard(Tigers Open Directory was buggy as hell, Leopard has been pretty rock solid), the GUIs actually work really well UNTIL something goes wrong. Then trying to wade through the mish-mash of manual configs vs. gui configs(not to mention you don't really know what the GUI is doing) trying to track down the problem is a real mess.
Overall, if you want centralized logins at your mac-centric organization I would definitely recommend a Mac Server, largely because LDAP config on Linux still isn't quite as simple as it is on a mac, but for everything else(web, database, file shares etc.) I would go Linux.
The nice thing about the mac clients is that they support most of these technologies out of the box. For instance sharing NFS between macs and Linux is pretty braindead simple. Of course, that *other* OS still doesn't support NFs out of the box. I mean, I guess you have to give them a little slack, the protocol is only 20 years old....
The advantages of simplified training are not just beneficial on an economic scale. While its unfortunate that this error killed people, think of how many more people would die if complex training was required to use these types of machines. Ultimately, it would lead to fewer operators and thus less access to the machine, which ostensibly helps save lives.
waking up hung over, going over to your computer, pushing the mouse to wake the monitor and realizing you got so drunk at the party you attended last night that you installed Windows on your own computer.
It ships with a free, and quite competent, video editor iMovie, if you are doing non-linear editing, I seriously doubt you are working with a $400 piece of hardware.
discredited. Seriously, does anyone actually listen to Gartner anymore? (The same ones that said over 50% of US IT jobs would be sent overseas by now, when the real number is maybe 1/5th of that). Pretty much all of their "predictions" are either a) wrong or b) bleedingly obvious.
The Android may or may not overtake the iPhone, but we need real research, not Gartner crap, before we can say so definitively.
Apple sells something called Final Cut Express, which has most of the features of FCP but at a fraction of the price($200), it does non-linear editing, custom transitions etc.
Um, maybe, just maybe, before criticizing someone else on their perceived lack of knowledge on a subject you should learn a thing or two about the subject first. The Japanese did know that atomic bombs were dropped well BEFORE surrender, the Emperor even mentioned it in his speech...dumbass...
As a visitor entering Japan, you are subject to being fingerprinted and having your picture taken at border control as well as a bunch of harassing questions such as, "Where are you staying and who are you staying with?"(I always make up a fake address). I don't know how much different it is compared to the US, but if they rejected Chicago because of these restrictions, they probably rejected Tokyo for a lot of the same reasons.
Well, considering smartphones tend to spend a lot of time near geeks' wangs, there has to be a way you could funnel all that sexual frustration into power...perhaps to browse porn on the phone.
By your logic, since the Greens in the US got less than 1% of the presidential vote in 1996, then got over 300% more votes in 2000, by 2012 they should be dominating the US political landscape..... Single-issue parties, though on occasion successful, rarely get more than the people that feel really passionate about their issue to vote for them.

They can't, but what is your point? Just because you cannot bicycle every day doesn't mean you shouldn't bicycle at all, or respect those who do. If you can ride your bike around 9 months of the year, it's a lot better than 0 months a year.

dependence culture in the US. I've lived in both East Asia and Europe for the past 6 years of my life and every time I come back home I am just shocked at the utter disdain towards people who don't drive. In much of Europe(and a lesser extent in Japan), cyclists are treated with respect when they are on the road and there are a lot of facilities set up for cyclists to commute, futhermore in residential areas there are plenty of pedestrian areas. As a result kids(and adults) can work exercise into their daily routine safely and easily. Now compare that with most of the United States, where if there are any pedestrian signals at all, they last for a very short period of time(I was in Phoenix and I swear the walk signal only lasted for 15 seconds when crossing a 6 lane road), there are few special paths for pedestrians, and anyone that doesn't drive a car is treated as if they are worthless as a human being. I've heard tons of stories from cyclists in the US detailing how people in vehicles purposely drive as close as possible to them, cut them off, throw things at them etc.
As a result most Americans never walk anywhere simply because it isn't safe to do so. We only walk from our front door to the car and from the parking lot to the office. Its no wonder why Americans are the fattest people in the world. We need a radical cultural shift away from this whole notion that people who don't drive are worthless human beings and away from this dependence on cars
Futhermore they don't state at all how they determine the physical destination of the intended spam receiver. Perhaps they got some data that included the domains of the recipients of spam and correlated that to a location, but that would only target a portion of the population, namely those who use a business's domain that is located in a state(and not multiple states), and those who use their local ISPs email for personal mail(and with GMail, Yahoo and their ilk, who does that anymore?) I sincerely doubt their data is really representative of all the email sent in the US.

Actually it was 86.4 milliseconds, but when you are only expecting .0001% uptime, you cannot expect your service provider to be able to do arithmetic :P
if 99.999% downtime would have been acceptable
Some people have such high standards, I mean jeez the server was functional for 8.64 seconds today, isn't that enough?
