Here's hoping the new Eudora includes the best features and functionality of both Eudora 7.x and Thunderbird (both of which I use daily). I haven't seen anything else which matches the the filtering capabilities in Eudora, but the HTML renderer is as powerful as a gopher browser. On the other hand, I really like Thunderbird's ability to keep multiple accounts separated and and treat their settings independently.
The market should be allowed to solve the Net-neutrality issue: 'When you control the pipe you should be able to get profit from your investment.'"
Yeah, the market will indeed decide. I can only get one high-speed provider in my house, and I'm sure that provider will make excellent decisions on my behalf.
I've noticed that Safari takes a lot of CPU on my system. It happens after I have used a specific java-based web app.
I suppose it could be Safari's fault or Java's fault, but I would sooner suspect an issue with a stale clientserver connection or something else within the Java app.
That was just the bass on my kickin' car stereo. I turned it down, so it shouldn't be a problem. Those nine-foot quartz drivers are tite!
But seriously, how much power would it take to put such a vibration into the air, and how far would it travel? I'm just picturing the hair on my head blowing this way and that way with the changes in sound pressue.
In other news, the big three American automakers, GM, Ford, and Daimler-Chrysler, along with a few smaller manufacturers are under investigation. It seems they profited when they sold thousands of vehicles to members of a number of well-known crime families.

As a fellow network administrator, I've been very happy running OSX. It has all the stuff a network admin needs (well, at least for my job functions)
SSH2
tcptump
perl
expect
net-snmp
cron
openldap
kerberos
network locations
I know, you can get all this stuff for Windows (and perl is included for free) but my point is that OSX makes a handy network admin's workstation. I can sit down at any OSX station on my network and get all these tools at the cli. I have to spend some time getting the stuff I need on a Windows station.
Yeah, I'm having trouble keeping a stable wireless connection after installing Vista on my Mac Pro. My isight doesn't work. And a bunch of the system resources have those silly little yellow triangles next to them.
If only my hardware manufacturer would release some drivers in a timely manner...
Apples decision to limit their OS to their hardware is what is killing their adoption rate. If I could buy OSX for my PC...i probably would, just so I could have both. But I don't want to have to spend twice as much on my computer just to run an OS that TECHNICALLY doesn't do as much as Windows does... If you buy Mac OSX for a generic PC, where will you find all the drivers? Do you expect all the hardware manufacturers to magically develop drivers for Windows and OSX? It's probably difficult enough developing for Windows XP 32-bit, (they mostly ignored XP-64 in my opinion) but now they also have to support Vista 32-bit and Vista 64-bit. And you want them to tackle a completely different platform now, also?
Things are a bit better these days, but from my experience a large chunk of the instability problems with MS operating systems has been the poor quality of hardware drivers. Microsoft may provide a lot of drivers with its OS, but who do you think wrote them?
Apple doesn't write all the hardware drivers for its systems, but it does work closely with its hardware suppliers. Apple makes the decision which devices will be supported, and Apple places the limit on the number of devices supported natively in the OS. In my opinion this is one of the reasons the modern Mac OS is so stable.
(I would also argue that there's no reason whatsoever for compulsory wifi on non-laptop computers.) I use wireless in my Mac Pro. I help manage the wireless network at my institution, and it's cheaper to put a wireless card in my desktop than it is to get another laptop.
Maybe someone doesn't want to run an Ethernet cable across the room and around the corner to the only telephone jack in the apartment. Instead they might get a wireless solution. But they use a desktop.
I haven't checked for a while, but I used to be able to see my neigbor's HP printer-scanner-fax on their wireless network. My neighbor and I might have similar reasons but different motivations to put a wireless interface in a desktop.
Yep... mine was used as a server when it was purchased. It's still aa server, but just for a test environment.
You may have found different information, but the first search I came across listed the PowerEdge 2400 at a price of $8,994 in June of 2001. This G4 was $3199 in July of 2000 from what I could find.
Your comparison is not quite equivalent, but I wasn't comparing price in my comments, just timeframes of technology.
I'm running 10.5 on a 7-year-old G4, among other systems. It is in the same configuration as when it was purchased (dual-500 g4's, 1 GB Ram) except that the hard drive has been replaced (40 GB -> 60 GB).
It might have been a large machine when it was purchased, but it wasn't all that unusual for a Mac. It might not be the fastest computer but it will run the OS faster than it ran the OS it came with (or any other since).
Why is playstation support being included in the kernel? Is that really necessary?
Yeah, don't forget why most folks start tinkering with Linux in the first place.
We love to tinker
We want closer access to the hardware
Somebody told us we can't, so that just makes us want to all the more
All three apply to the PS3, as far as I'm concerned!

No, it's still going strong. http://projects.info-pull.com/moab/
One could argue the significance of each bug, but I would say the quantity is not lacking. I was sure I would see a few days or a week, but it looks like there has been a total of 23 when I visited the site.
I forget the reason now, but point is, UFS it may claim to be, but if you're using UFS for compatibility, sucks to be you.:( Bummer... I have to say I only used it once, as an experiment on a test server, and it was reinstalled on an HFS+ partition soon after. So I admit to using it, but I can't say I have much experience using it.
If it is not meant to replace HFS+, could there be any other reasons to support ZFS?" Well, OSX 10.4 already supports FAT16, FAT32, and HFS, HFS+ (case sensitive and case-insensitive) and UFS. I don't see any obvuious conclusion that HFS+ is on the way out. Now if the OSX kernel AND os both support a ZFS-formatted partition as a boot partition, we might find it as an accceptable replacement, but otherwise I would think ZFS will be added for large enterprise SAN RAIDs and such.
My point is that it could be argued before the court. You know how this stuff goes when neither the judge nor the jury understands what's happening here.
In some people's minds (like the **AA) if the defendant hadn't made that content available, that content might not have been available, and therefore the defendant enabled the loss of income to happen. It is possible (under what conditions I don't know, since IANAL) under civil law, to sue for future damages and for consequential or third party damages.
Well, you've taken me out of context. I was talking about all the situations with which I've been involved. It's possible there is litigation involving downloading material, as someone who downloads is committing a copyright violation just like the person who is making the material available for download.
And no, I did not give you permission, I don't have that authority.
Sure, because the RIAA may never have a way to recover from those other people. This happens all the time in other sorts of situations, like loss of potential income due to injury, etc.

You can get a PCI-Express card for under $50 - an Nvidia 6200 at newegg
