3- China, Cuba, etc on UN councils. Learn how they work, representative from every country get to be in them in turns. That doesn't mean they run them. At the UN, you are bound to find people from nations you disagree with in various commissions. The #1 rule of diplomacy is that you keep talking to these people anyway.
4- The UN suck, have never done anything good, etc. The UN weapons inspectors in Iraq got rid of all the WMDs. You are aware the US troops have found none left, are you? Speak of the devil, this particular engagement really showcases the skill and competence the USA shows in dealing with world matters when unhindered by useless international bodies, doesn't it ?
Given a choice of labeling you hypocrite or ignorant, I'm afraid I'll have to go with the former.
You mean, as soon as someone is criticizing Israel, suddenly it's antisemitism ?
The problem of sharing a forum with all the nations like the UN, is that until world peace is achieved, necessarily you will find nations there that are not friendly to each other.
The alternative is no forum, no talks and almost certainly more wars. The trouble with cheapshot armchair UN critics is that they never propose anything constructive or useful as a replacement.
Yes Syria is a nation with a poor record over many issues, too bad it's on the IAEA, but so what. It's not running the thing. Come to think of it, there are very few nations with a clean record on just about anything. AFAIK Israel got its nukes on the sly as well, and the USA is the only nation who has ever used them in anger, killing tens of thousands instantly and to this day.
Not matter what Apple says into the matter, in fact, you can. Just make sure you have purchased a OS/X license at the shop to be in the clear.
Because Apple only supports a subset of the PC hardware, you need to be a bit choosy, but I have had no trouble on a 3-y-o AMD64 setup. I prefer Linux on that box though, but it was nice to be able to try:-)
First do you have a personal firewall on either side ? Look into your iptables on the Linux server side, do "sudo iptables -L" and make sure the rules are empty. If not stop the iptables service. On the mac side look into the "Sharing" system preference tab and disable the firewall.
Next, have you tried to export your Linux disks as Apple File Shares? I do that now instead of NFS, it works fine.
You need to setup your exports with netatalk, and advertise them like "bonjour/zeroconf" shares through Avahi. Works great, easy to setup. Your disks will show up in the Network->My Network section of the finder. Both avahi and netatalk are most likely already available via your favourite distribution.
Last thing, is there a route between your two machines ? If the mac mini connects to your network wirelessly, this can be a bit challenging to setup. Can you ssh to one machine to the next ? Either way ?
My one-year-old MacBookPro going to standby mode takes longer than that. 10-30 seconds on average. You've got to wait until the front diode blinks, otherwise the disk is still spinning and you may damage it if you move the laptop. It does wake up quick though.
This is because Macs suspend to "safe sleep mode", they do both suspend-to-disk and RAM. That way they can wake up quickly, but if the battery runs dry, you can still resume from the disk after you've restored power.
I don't have a Linux laptop, but my various desktop Linuxes suspend-to-RAM (and resume) in about 2 seconds like you describe.
The inquisition also justified their crimes by trying to make blasphemers repent so they could avoid Hell.
The second paragraph may be what you believe, but it does not compute. Education only has a minor influence on these matters: look no further than various forms of Mafias for well-educated, Christian or otherwise religious thugs.
You are reading too much into the 65 vs. 45nm processes "generation", because AMD is using IBM's Silion-on-Insulator whereas Intel isn't. The reality is that Athlon64 are nearly as power-efficient at 90nm as Core Duos are at 65nm.
The facts are that Intel has a slightly better process, resulting in better benchmarks, significantly better yields, and an already established overwhelming market share. Meanwhile AMD underestimated Intel R&D resources and counted on one more serie of blunders from Intel to catch up on market share. It didn't happen, but they only need to survive until Intel becomes complacent again.
Games may not be the best example, they tend to have a short lifespan and are a highly competitive domain. In this case time-to-market is more important than code quality. Witness the significant number of games that are shipped in beta quality.
There is also one problem with game development, and that is called DirectX. It would be nice if Microsoft thought cross-platform development could improve its own development practices. However, as you may be aware, Microsoft dev practices are not widely held to be the best in the business.
However, some top-level games have always been available to Windows, Linux and OS/X, in particular the Id Doom/Quake series. I hear that the Id games engines have widely been considered to be state-of-the-art, and Id development practices to be top-notch.
Some quality commercial software such as Matlab, Mathematica, Maple, etc are available on Linux/OSX. Even the Adobe and most of the Microsoft software is available on OS/X in addition to Windows.
Software development is not my primary trade but I do write some software and my priority is to make it as close as 100% platform-independent as possible, for precisely the reasons that I've outlined.
This is the 32-bit version (i686) running on a 64-bit O/S (x86_64). It doesn't matter for the base browser functionality, it runs as well as the 64-bit version. However, it is compatible with Flash9 on Linux, which has no 64-bit version that I'm aware of.
In this case the power (Watts) is of little interest, the energy (Joules) is what did the damage. I've worked with 100mJ IR lasers and they are benchtops. With those you can make little holes in most non-reflective materials.
Probably because SuSe installed the 32-bit version of Firefox for you. The difference between that and the 64-bit version doesn't exactly leap to the eye.
Depending on who you ask, Linux users are between 1 and 5% of all computer users, similar numbers as Mac users these days. It's small but it's not insanely small. Porting an app to a different platform is nowhere near as difficult or time-consuming as writing it in the first place, and provides benefits, such as forcing better practices on the dev team, making available more development tools (which are very good and usually free on Linux), resulting in fewer bugs in the final product on *all* supported platforms.
In addition, the development team is not tied to a particular way of working, and dependent on a single large software provider for all their business.
From a business standpoint, it may make perfect sense to port to several platforms. In this case it's very clear the business decision to reinstate flash development for Linux was made within Adobe, contradicting your statement.
* Perfect desktop acceleration: In Fedora7, specify livna.org as a 3rd party reporsitory during install and choose which hardware you have: nvidia or ATI. For Intel it's already included. * Applications in/Applications./usr/bin is not good enough for you ? * Full D&D. FYI it doesn't work in OS/X either. Try it with MS-Office and the Adobe Apps. * OSX font rendering. Linux is pretty good now. When did you last try? * IB equivalent: GNUStep or Kdevelop * iApps : iTunes -> Amarok (complete with much nicer store) ; iWeb -> NVU (say); GarageBand -> RosenGarten ; iDVD/iMovies -> avidemux ; iPhoto -> gPhoto or digiKam (if you plug a camera it just works in Linux now) * and the thousands of other things : Linux has more software for it than OS/X, including more games, top commercial titles too thanks to wine. Cider (wine for macs) is not there yet.
Finally RH is one of the top Linux kernel contributors right now, and they have sponsored many different pieces of software for Linux over the years; do your research.
I love my mac laptop but OSX is not magical. I'm constantly surprised at the level of improvement in Linux distros. I run Linux on all my desktops, and I've done so since 1995. FYI I've used macs since 1987 or so, and NeXTStep as well for many years.
Well, there are good tax cuts and bad tax cuts. Sometimes goverments accumulate bloat and spending cuts are in order, but sometimes governments spend relatively wisely, and more importantly, in a publicly visible manner. Before you can say that the citizen's hard-earned money has been wasted, you need to have a look at what it is used for. Essentially all the services that a government proposes need to be paid for somehow. If the state does not fund schools or hospitals anymore, then people need to pay for it somehow.
Of course it seems easier to implement a kind of user-pay systems. For people who are young, healthy, active and educated this is no problem, but when you are old, retired and in poor health this simply sucks. Maturity in a political system is achieved when the people in their generality accept or are themselves convinced that the governement spending patterns are actually acceptable and reasonnably fair.
In this case, yes, the Mass. citizen should very much care that money is being wasted on needless upgrades, because this diverts money from actually useful public services, another name for what you call a nanny state.
At any rate, in Massachusetts, the people have voted and there is little you can do, bitter though you may be. I suggest you make as good case as you can if you really care, and get involved politically if you really believe this is wrong. Otherwise, you can live with it, or move out. These are pretty much your options right now.
The answer is virtualization. I can run just about any version of Windows on Linux now using my choice of vmware, qemu, parallels or Bochs. I expect that in 20 years time Bochs will be able to run current Windows with a decent speed.

No, he means the US.
Hello Mr Righteous, I'll assume your from the USA :
1- Yes the UN costs money, what a surprise. Nearly all the nations pay for it, though. The US likes not to.
2- Have you never heard of US soldiers raping local women ?
3- China, Cuba, etc on UN councils. Learn how they work, representative from every country get to be in them in turns. That doesn't mean they run them. At the UN, you are bound to find people from nations you disagree with in various commissions. The #1 rule of diplomacy is that you keep talking to these people anyway.

About your sig: so what do you say about the MIT license?

Best of luck with your settings.
Try FUSE for macs, with sshfs (same place). Works great.

A few years ago it would not have been true, but now both Redhat and Ubuntu, at least, are up to scratch.
I used to have real Windows boxes but *those* were a nighmare. Now they're all virtual

Not just gamers are interested in a good video driver. 100% of recent OS/X and Vista users require a 3D desktop. With compiz and beryl, Linux users have access to the same basic functionality. This is actually useful, as in OS/X exposé.
