I second that on iView. I threw 8000+ pictures at it and it handled it fine. The import didn't try to make copies of the 2+GB of files, and the catalog preserved the heirarchy of the files in the filesystem. All in all, just what I was looking for when looking for a tool to manage my photos.
One problem I ran into last night was that printing groups of photos on a page at a specific size didn't seem to be supported. I'm dying for a simple and fast application which will let me throw a bunch of images at it and then resize, crop, and layout the photos for printing on one or more pages.
No, the press is trying to cover up the dangers of DHMO!

Not entirely true. My Powerbook G3 running OS-X has the control key in the right place, as well as the control key on the bottom next between 'fn' and 'option'. I'm an old NeXT guy, so there was no way I was putting up with OpenStep 5x with the control key in the wrong place.
It wasn't that hard to do. If you are interested, let me know.
Even though the OS is the same on the two hardware platforms, you still have nearly twice the testing to perform, because you have to make sure some Jr. Engineer didn't introduce some bug dealing with the little endian vs. big endian (or some other thing which is still different between the platforms).
Not sure whey Dallas' page doesn't have a link to them, but these people are selling the original station (wind direction, speed, and temp) for $79

You could manage all the machines on a LAN/WAN from a GUI, and you could have each machine run your app all the time, or only when the screensaver kicked in. It was kickass stuff for it's time (~1990).
But it's likely that one or both of those operands are in the cache either L1, L2, or L3, all of which have more bandwidth than the 133MHz SDRAM.
Sure DDR will make a difference, but is it more cost effective to add DDR or just more cache? After all, why not make all RAM the same fast static ram that the L2 cache is?
It's all about engineering tradeoffs. If you don't like the ones Apple makes, you can buy something else, or you can wait until they do (G5/DDR anyone?)
The analogy _is_ correct: the scribes weren't content creators, they were human copy machines. They made a living by copying/distributing other people's work.
Whether the original content creator benefitted, I don't know. However, the scribes certainly suffered by the introduction of the printing press.
It came out of Sun in the late 80's, early 90's and like NeXTStep used postscript and the ability to load drawing code into the windowserver to accelerate drawing operations over the network. It's got background on Andrew, SunWindows and X11
No, it's because he only uses vi when his system is borked. If he's using vi, he doesn't want a dynamically linked vim instead because it's probably borked too!
If he's doing real work, like on source, he's using a real editor, like emacs:-)
No, they skip (if you wear it), or you have to hold them carefully so they don't. Basically, they don't get enough stable time to read to refill the 40 second (my player) buffer.
You can (or at least you used to be able to) get a home-stereo unit with both a MD and a CD drive, and do 4X copying from the CD to the MD.
I much prefer the bandwidth of selecting a stack of MD's to take with me in the car to trying to pick the songs from a play list and waiting for them to download over USB (for my jogging MP3 player)
I recently added a solid-state MP3 player to my music player collection, since trying to jog with a minidisc (Sony, don't remember the model) drove me crazy.
And even if you do, but you want it to be more secure: www.ibutton.com has a java based crypto-ibutton with 192K of memory for storing secret keys, and signing, so the secret key never has to leave the iButton. They sell a USB key-fob to go with it... On the down side, there's not a lot of software, and it doesn't appear to be a drive to the OS.
I've also got a Daisy Diva MP3 player (http://www.mydivaplayer.com/HTML/products.html). It's really small, takes compact-flash (type 1), acts like a USB drive (no drivers, at least for Win2K and OS-X (latest)). On the other hand, it feels cheap, but part of that is because it's so light.
The trouble is, even with a 'real' signature on a piece of paper, the document can be altered post-signature. Which is why for some very important documents, you sign very large over the top of the doucument so that the ink will be below the alterations if any are made.
I think going with a Handspring Visor with an iButton imbedded (and being careful about what software you install) will be 'safe enough' for most cases.
Well, when the bug is as critical as 'oops we accidentally run 'format c:/force', and the fix is to add a couple of quotes, I think even Microsoft can handle that:-)

Probably via the DB-9 Serial Port on the back of the Xserve.
Why they went with Serial when USB or something similar _should_ be up to the task, I'm not sure...
it's an HFS+ Problem. That 'feature' belongs in the UI/Frameworks, not in the filesystem.

I believe the problem is that you may not export two different directories from a single filesystem, you need to instead export their (single) parent.
Even though the OS is the same on the two hardware platforms, you still have nearly twice the testing to perform, because you have to make sure some Jr. Engineer didn't introduce some bug dealing with the little endian vs. big endian (or some other thing which is still different between the platforms).
No they can't, because the structure of the base operating system and drivers is nothing like FreeBSD.

If you just want a portable MP3 player that can also record from a built in microphone, then look at www.mydivaplayer.com
I think their 64MB player is under $100, and it takes compact flash as well

Why are you worried about the price of hooking it up?
Because when you hook up the elegant Apple display :-)

Thank God!
I learned C in 1987, then Objective-C back in 1989, and C++ was forced on me sometime later.
I still can't stand C++'s syntax. Looking at it gives me a headache. God, even poorly written Perl is better!
Give me the smalltalk like syntax of Objective-C any day!
