Sure it's only a filmset, but at least it's not one of Peter Jackson'scgi efforts.
/.ers so far nattering about UI apparently haven't turned to p.2 of TFA, about halfway down, my sore spot on OSS graphics apps
Sharing of code seems like a no-brainer for achieving integration between the various projects. However, while this is certainly worth doing, the benefits are not always a trivial matter to obtain.
Between GIMP, Scribus, and Inkscape, we have one Gtk+ app, one Qt app, and one (soon-to-be) Gtkmm app. It would certainly not take much time to find a fourth, fifth, and sixth Open Source drawing application coded with completely incompatible interface languages.
Try to compile app-B, and despair when it refuses to accept a pointer to an existing, required, lib-A because app-A put it in the "wrong" place. Watch in awe and horror as app-c installs a third, different version of lib-c.
When you know that you have libs-x,y,z, or need to include headers a.h, b.h, c.h, but where are they on your system?/usr/lib,/usr/local/lib,/usr/local/app-n/lib?
At least Gimp for MacOS-X cunningly avoids these traps by keeping all that it needs within its own package, and it is generous enough to allow symlinks from outside for other apps to share its resources.
The Norbert Wiener stuff has cult status for Wiener groupies;-)
On the other hand there's plenty of more expensive, more meaningless coffee table geegaws than a $200 roll of Univac tape.
Myself, I fancy the 15 place Bessel function tables...

Being plain nosey I scratched around various blogs and the owners' site, but I don't see any rational explanation for this sale. If Jeremy has fallen on bad times and needs the cash I can forgive him, but this collection is a significant fraction of the sum total of human knowledge, and thus belongs to all mankind. Dispersing it to the four winds is usually the lot of soul-less deceased estate executors.
Glad somebody else noticed this. But they can't even get the housekeeping straight: have a look at some of those schemas in a text editor & a hex editor. Some are UTF8, some UTF16. OK they're all declared but what's with the EF BB BF before the first tag in "excel.xsd"? Or FF FE before the first tag in "w10.xsd"? Looks like a casual sprinkling of curly quotes thru some of them too.

IBM takes the easy way out by supporting Windows only clients for their "World Community Grid". Follow the links and we find the technolgy is supplied by United Devices inc, Austin TX. Their FAQ states the MP cluster is supported on any Linux with 2.4.9 or higher kernel, and glibc 2.3.x or higher.
What operating systems are supported on the client? The MP Agent(TM) is supported on Windows 98, ME, 2K, NT and XP, RedHat Linux 7.2 and higher, UNIX operating systems such as Solaris 8 and 9, and AIX versions 4.2 and 5.1.
Their Solutions Overview page claims the 4.2 release also supports MacOS, but I see no other reference. A few links to Inetl's support. Maybe Mac doesn't have spare cycles...
News: Nicobar Islands moved out to sea an unknown distance...

Come on people. The Earth is a flexible sphere. Neither its mass nor volume were changed by this quake. There was a well observed "lurch" at the surface caused by crustal movement, but rest assured the elasticity of the crustal-core bond will make up over the next several days for any microseconds lost/gained at the instant.
http://www.asc-india.org/ appears to be now back on line with excellent gifs showing the spread of aftershocks. Most significant for distant waves would probably be a M7.3, 400 km north-west, 2h.23m after the main shock, just when people would be down by the shore starting to cleanup...
Reports I have read say total movement of the Indian plate was 30 metres, being ~10 metres vertical plus ~27 metres north-north-east. The Indian plate "dropping" 10 metres would in simplistic terms leave a 10 metre vertical wall of water facing westwards. Given the continual activity of the Andaman fault subduction zone I find it surprising there is no historic tradition of tsunami along the east coast of India.
Sri Lanka is one of the "lucky countries" where a comfortable (by Asian standards) life can be had for little effort. Memories fade in such circumstances. 120 years ago Krakatoa sent a tsunami to Sri Lanka, reported as 12 feet high when it reached shore, but I find only -one- fatality recorded. (37,000 in Sumatra)
Compare 1908 when the city of Messina, Sicily was destroyed by earthquake, and tsunami engulfed neighboring Calabria, estimates of death toll range up to 200,000
The present disaster happened on a holiday weekend, when thousands of/.ers were able to idly speculate, and bring down Indian webservers - http://www.asc-india.org/ collapsed within hours of the disaster...
while Apple has been demoing the Tiger/Flashlight search? OK the article was MS vs Google, and MacOS 10.4 isn't on the streets yet, so on p.6 we see
Today, a user cannot possibly conduct a search such as "Show me everything about the Chinese economy that has appeared in the last month in my e-mail attachments, Word documents, bookmarked websites, corporate portal, voice mail, or Bloomberg subscription." and p.7
For instance, if desktop search tools enjoyed deeper access to the internal document structures of Word and Excel, they would be much more useful. I have seen Flashlight pull one word off a.pdf streetmap, and another out of a.zip mail attachment. Searches can be directed by context, format, date, etc. I know Apple are notorious for failing to profit from licensing cool technology, but does that make them irrelevant to this article?
OpenOffice.org X11 on the mac is effectively dead because it is horrendously understaffed. There are less then 5 people actively working on it. Not good for an 8 million line + application.

Aaaarrggghh. I've just been thru the pain of compiling yet another set of gtk libs and widgets for a project that refused to use any of the 3 sets already installed on this OS-X box. It's as bad as the old days of DOS when every app had its own interface...
At least that's where Bill Gates & Steve Jobs are light years ahead of the open sauce crowd. The interface is built into the OS, and if your app can't hook in, then you're only a script kiddie.
Well, I do use OOo, and I have only 2 minor quibbles, clipboard portability, and my archive of Word5 files.

If your X-Serve is the PDC and all windoze boxen are belong to it, yeah you can do what the OP wanted, automount samba shares, etc.
But if you have to integrate your X-Serve to an existing NT Domain structure, be prepared for blood, sweat and tears.
