This is exactly the same way the 12in PowerBook worked, by outputting in DVI but in miniature form. THis way, you need an adapter to output in _any_ format, be it VGA, DVI or anything else.
However, due to the lack of an OS X and/or linux version, of Google Earth, I can't. Yes, I have heard of the OS X beta, but if I cant access it, it doesnt do me any good. Google's always been in favor of alternate OSs, yet here they only support MS. I hope this changes soon; I don't wanna miss santa's route next year too..
Personally, I perfer C# to Java any day. I am already taking a java course, so any C# has to be done on the side.That said, I still believe Java is the better choice here
Mono, despite opening up *everyone* (even those such as myself with obscure platforms like linux/ppc and linux/sparc) to the world of C#, cannot yet handle every MS lib out there. Java, on the other hand, is absolutely universal (on the platforms it supports). I have little doubt that any teacher of a C# course will use the MS implementation, and probably touch on some of the libraries onle used in the 'official'.Net. This is a Bad Thing(tm), but probably will happen. Same goes for Java if you attempt to use gcj, or any other language you attempt using an implrementation of anyone save for the languages' creator.
Mono is very nice, yes, but not fully there yet. Java's official implementation is actually supported on different platforms, making the use of linux in the class a possibility.
*sigh*
When will they get it?
There is no such thing as time.
Time is not an object, interstellar fabric, or any other romanticized spawn of science fiction.
Time is but the way we use to measure movement, nothing more.
Disputes such as this are pointless simply because time travel is simply not possible.
I personally am against the rising use of Java in OOo, but the 2.0 beta is just too good to argue with (you can still compile OOo without Java support anyway if it bugs you that much).
The real dispute here is, "Should OOo push for faster development or to be completely FOSS?'. Sun, who basically paid for the whole project, should have the right to steer it in the direction of their own language if they please to do so. However, to maintain the project as FOSS, no essential parts of it should be JDK-specific.
One of the things I love to use as an incentive for XP users to switch to something more secure than outlook and IE is the fact that mozilla's browser and email client are both really quite easy to use.
I could understand a couple info sites that give insight into altering the core of firefox or thunderbird, but is devoting an entire book to just that really necessary?
I like wine. I really do, I've been using it for over a year now and have never had many real (unsolveable) issues from the few win games I own or any other win32 app I feel like running under it.
My only true complaint with Wine is how 2/3 of the apps that do work give weird errors and require a lot of tweaking before they actually execute correctly. Its not that I seriously mind messing with the wine config files or spending the time to do so, but it would just be a whole lot easier if it worked by default. Some of the smaller bugs I've found havent been solved over the course of the last year, and I can only hope this new system of deadlines encourages more rapid development to fix the little things those before any new work is done in other areas like directx or 3d support
I personally would rather that I, and only I, be in control of my car. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but how are they to create an 'un-crashable' car without sacrificing at least some of the driver's control over the vehicle?
And what would happen if the software running the automatic-driving system pulls a M$ and crashes?
From what I know, the only thing thats holding Apple back from using the new high-performence IBM PPC processors in a laptop is the tremendous amount of heat they produce. Could this be the solution?
...Anyone mentioned RHEL4 yet?
I know its new and all, but it seems pretty solid to me.
Also, I would consider Fedora as an option. It may not be RH-certified with all the support and everything that comes with RHEL3/4, but I've yet to have a single really bad experience with Core 2/3.
*sigh*
Gentoo is one of the few distros out there that I think is just better off without a graphical installer. I personally think that one of the coolest things about Gentoo is the whole thing has no automation at all, that even the install teaches you a lot about how linux works. Its that 'do-it-yourself' that originally attracted me to Gentoo, and still beingsme back every once in a while. Take that away and it just won't be Gentoo...
Well.... that one took me by surprise.
I've read both Enders Game and Ender's Shadow in the past, and I for one don't think merging the stories will exactly do them any good.
They're both good books, but it's the different perspectives that differentiate them and make them two separate books, even though they share the same story, and still keep it interesting. Taking both accounts of the story and putting it into one script might ruin some of what makes the story so appealing.

Yeah I know, but my real question is where will the fad end?
Will they simply burn out, or will the companies that seem to be buying them attempt to continue to promote them, etc.

"Live Journal was bought by Six Apart, while Ask Jeeves snapped up Bloglines."
This makes me pause and ponder the imact blogs in general have had in recent years. Suddenly, many previously supressed voices are jumping out into the world via the web and companies like Flickr, and large corperations such as Yahoo are jumping for the opertunity too buy them up. I remember not so long ago blogger/blogspot were bought out by Google. Interesting perspectives from places you wouldn't usually see them are now suddenly easily accessible via the web, and the older large corperations are just as quickly buying the creators out. I wonder, will the big companies such as yahoo and google do with the blog-related communities and sites like this? And will Yahoo let Flickr remain as-is, or incorperate it into itself as a part of the Yahoo home page?
You know, I really didnt think about that, but you're so right!! I mean, sometimes it really bugs me that my notebook is wasting the energy to power the whole screen when 90% of the time I'm only using the command line. Weird as this may be for running X and GUI apps, I think its definently something I'd buy into (as long as you can turn off, that is)
There is an XMMS plugin I stumbled on a while ago called simply 'volnorm' that you might find useful. Not exactly perfect, but it works for me... get it here. Or
emerge xmms-volnorm
in gentoo;)

The exact opposite, actually. .NET has an excellent framework for web services.
Not on Mono, it doesnt. And I'm assuming this would be used, as that was the framework mentioned in the actual question.

what??? You mean we don't co exist today???
I could have sworn I had the boss figured out this time....
Yaboot.
Not much of a choice there.
If somebody's heard of another PPC (NewWorld) boot loader, let me know.
How ironic does it get?

I rest my case.
SO Dell would sell their Intel machines with a PPC native OS, but not actually upgrade their processors to AMD64?
Is their marketing strategy to make slow computers or something....?
GREAT job...

Didn't they also announce they were going open-source not long ago?
What ever happened to that?
