I've been wishing for this ever since iTMS came out... but I think bandwidth is an issue.... and a way to play it... no one likes watching movies on their computer and people don't want to mess with wires to hook their computer up to their tv all the time. Apple needs to get their ass in gear and finally release the iHome (aka the Apple Home Media Center) so that we can download the movies to their and watch them automatically on our tv. Unfortunately, if this happens, there will be DRM in the media.... so it will a pain in the ass to play the content on my mythTV.
Oh I completely agree. I bought a Powerbook last January (first Apple machine) and coming from the Windows world.... automatically installed Norton Anti-Virus at my first chance... then I realized how much cpu time it took up and learned more about how OS X and Unix work and just uninstalled it... I now swear by NOT having anti-virus software on my mac.
That is a completely foolish idea. Should you be successful in creating a new language, it would only be a matter of time before it became marred by the actions of the next generation. Your kids will think you are lame and they will create their own slang in order to confuse you.... such as how "cool" & "hot" can mean the same thing in current slang (thanks Paris Hilton... now there's a stupid human).
I just automatically thought of the episode when I read your post. I agree that its sad that this counts as bold. I wish more media was politically charged. America is just so full of people who are either apathetic, know only the talking points of parties (meaning they don't want to think for themselves), or extremists. Nobody talks about politics or others up opinions. Our mainstream entertainment industry barely touches political topics and I find that a shame. I wish more entertainment would attempt to provoke discussion. Provoking discussion allows people to make up their own minds easier and not rely solely on one party's talking points because rarely is anybody perfectly represented by one party. The media loved discussing the red & blue distinctions during this past election but I think thats misleading. I think most people are in the middle but the problem is there isn't a mainstream party that represents a moderate. A moderate party would get eaten alive by both sides in our political system because they aren't "EXTREME."
i think their reason was that the intolerance created an abusive setting in the school... they kept stating how one show host was saying that if you don't support the current policies you are automatically an enemy.... or something like that.... and it was causing discrimination, harassment, and general disarray within the school... btw... yes the irony is great... what you said was the prosecutions argument
Speaking of political media... did anyone watch the ABC show, Boston Legal? It was about how a principal banned the Fox News station from airing within his school. A student was sueing the school because he wanted access to the "most fair and balanced" news media (crock o' shit). The main argument the school had was that the liberal media does not promote intolerance. They also cited excerpts from the documentary Outfoxed where first hand accounts of former employees stated how they were instructed to not report the news, but put the Republican agenda. Now I'm not taking sides on this issue (don't need a slashdot flamewar), I bring it up because I'm impressed how bold the show's producers were to do a show about this.
If you ran a company where another organization was bribing your employees to release corporate confidential information, you'd be pissed too. Now obviously, blame needs to be lie on the employees that released the information. So, Apple asked and then demanded that the journalists release the names of the employees but they wouldn't.
Sure journalists should have a right to keep their sources secret but don't companies also have a right to have trade secrets? So, why should journalists be permitted to have their secrets after they engaged in activities that negated a company's rights to secrets? Think about it.
This entire situation is shitty on all accounts. On one hand, the employees need to be fired. Secondly, journalists should not be bribing an organizations employees for secret information. Lastly, Apple shouldn't care so much. No one takes ThinkSecret all that seriously. How many times have their rumors been absolutely ridiculous besides being incorrect? Remember how many times they've published rumors about a new PDA, G5 Powerbook, iTablet, or an iPhone?
Install Cygwin (basically its a Unix command line & environment for Windows) and then install sftp, scp, or ssh. All three will get the job done. I have never found a Windows FTP GUI that I liked... hell I haven't found an SFTP GUI on any platform that I liked. Fetch on OSX is very nice but doesn't support SFTP (unless I'm an idiot and missed something).
This is a great idea. Governments have been losing out for centuries on knowledge. Taxing downloads is the first step towards the inevitable future of taxing people for each independent thought that enters their mind.
I proposed a non-ms solution because they were already using a non-ms solution for 90% of the network.... seems logical, right? So maybe it wasn't some part of MS smear scandal.
Now you have a point about database/application backends but don't assume that I'm trying to spread Anti-MS FUD when I'm only thinking logically. BTW, you can still use Open Directory to manage a Windows server... oops, I logically proposed a non-MS solution again... my bad.
1) This is a server I setup in my house for my personal webpage, mp3s, movies, and backup for my laptop and desktop.
2) I'm a student... so beer money is more important than a tape drive... hell one tape is like 4 kegs of beer
3) Relying on only one hard drive going bad at a time? Yes... I have never had a drive fail, and with my current setup of only 4 drives.... no I'm not worried about more than one drive failing at one time.
4) My data is important... and I know how to do this data migration correctly given the correct tools in an business situation but this isn't a business situation.
5) I would like to backup my data but I don't have the money for a tape drive to back up 500gb, nor the time to use DVDs for the backup...
6) I have a UPS for power surge protection but you raise a concern about my power supplies. Can power supplies surge while they naturally burn out and die.... not from external power surges... but from the Power supply just up and dying?
7) I think I'll just setup a second server ( I have a spare motherboard laying around) with the new 8 port card and copy all the data to 4 new drives. Then I'll format the four old drives and add them to the new array.
8) As for backup, any suggestions? I use RAID 5.... should I consider using RAID 6? Or should I just save up and buy a tape drive? (Remember this is a home system... I don't mind have a server go down for a week).
You know.... the above parent has a good point about calling tech support. Contacting tech support or searching the Apple website would have been much faster and more fruitful than posting on Slashdot. Half of the responses here will be:
1) drop Open Directory 2) drop AD, or 3) I welcome our new LDAP overlords
But unfortunately, the parent is lame for posting anonymously so flamebait he obviously is. Had he posted under an account, I would have not jumped to conclusions (damn I need to get my 'Jump to conlusions' mat back from the repair shop) that he was trolling./end-rambling
Ok... does anybody have a recommendation. This isn't an enterprise solution... its for my home server. I don't have a tape drive to backup my data and I really don't want to burn 100 DVDs to backup my 500GB of data.
What I want to know is... Lets say I swap the cards and it doesn't work, can I revert to the old card without any data loss?
I'm currently using an Intel SRCS14L. Does anybody have any recommendations?
I think you missed the key fact that the majority of the computers are macs. I might have agreed that AD is more flexible if they had all windows machines but thats not the case. I refuse to believe that MS-AD is more flexible in a multi-OS environment than Open Directory.
I currently have a 4-port sata card for Raid5 but I need more space and was thinking of replacing it with an 8-port card. My concern is the data on the drives. Will swapping the raid cards mess with the data or will the new card recognize the raid5 array and continue to function correctly without any data loss?
Why not just use the server that everyone else uses (the XServe) for the accounting department as well... If its because the accounting department uses Windows.... well the XServe is capable of being the domain for Windows, Macs, and Linux Boxen.
I completely agree. Thankfully Apple at least tried to address the problem. My 1ghz 12" Powerbook is about 10 degrees cooler on the palm rests than my buddies 867mhz 12". Anyone know how they accomplished this?
My thought is the hard drive is positioned under the left palm rest and they switched to a different model or brand that ran cooler.

You miss my point.... I just love the irony.
Do you realize the irony of your complaint. Your complaining about people complaining. I simply love it.

Thanks for the correction. I thought I read somewhere that bribes had occured. Maybe not with ThinkSecret but possibly other sites. Not really sure...

love the CLI ones... i typically use openssh on all my platforms.
Install Cygwin (basically its a Unix command line & environment for Windows) and then install sftp, scp, or ssh. All three will get the job done. I have never found a Windows FTP GUI that I liked... hell I haven't found an SFTP GUI on any platform that I liked.

I love the pun.

he's using a 36 button, 12 sided mouse for all those extra necessary functions like cd, rm, ls, etc... on the command line.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a mesh router? How is it different than a normal router?
There's another way via the terminal. I had to do it once... its one command but it escapes my mind. I found out how to do by googling for it.
My thought is the hard drive is positioned under the left palm rest and they switched to a different model or brand that ran cooler.
