EVE works very well. Last time I logged in, the GUI worked very well, the trading and info subsystems were very responsive. It's come a very long way since the release, the frontend seems to have been rewritten almost from scratch.
It's very heavy on PvP, which isn't really my thing, and a casual player MUST have some affiliations or get left out. I'm not super keen on either, so I dropped. Getting shot down by some asshat who thought I was intruding in his territory was the last straw for me, so I cancelled.
* The Fan Control System update showed up on one of the 10.2.8 machines. This may be a noise abatement update.
* Network browsing is working for Appletalk in Zones spanning multiple subnets. This is a fix from 10.3.0 - 10.3.2.
* I see a half-dozen spam a day through our filtering service, and I haven't had a crash yet.
* Entourage will no doubt continue to corrupt databases in 10.3.3. We are so migrating to Apple for a basic workflow solution: Mail, Address Book, iCal. I am so frelling sick of rebuilding databses - somebody is gonna lose something important. I want mail stored as one.mbox file per folder - like God intended it to be.
Procrastination pays off again ! At the office we have one Appletalk Zone split over 4 TCP/IP subnets. It hasn't been showing up in 10.3.2 under the Netwrok sidebar in the Finder. I've been meaning to "look into that", but I've been stuck planning a font audit (the last thing you EVER want to do in a design shop) lately. 10.3.3 comes along and there it is !
That's seriously messed up. You rarely see such a bold stroke from the Law of Unintended Consequences. He should complain to somebody. Oh, I guess that turned out to be you.
The UN pretty much ignored the genocide in Rwanda too. The was a lot of decrying and bewailing going on in the General Assembly, but I didn't see a lot of blue helmest with rifles on the ground.
Which is the key point. Two intermingled ethnic groups are killing each other. One has the upper hand. Many individuals on both sides have weapons and there are some quasi-organized militias. Both parties (not to put too fine a point on it) look similar to outsiders.
Assume one US airmobile brigade (Rwanda is the size of Maryland at 25k sq km, but it is the most densely populated country in Africa). Plenty of artillery, air, support and satellite assets are available. However, Rwanda is landlocked and bases for supply planes are limited to local civilian and military fields (1 paved strip over 3000m in the country) so you're operating at the end of a long, lousy supply line. Remember how much trouble we have with languages in the Middle East, how little intelligence we have on the ground there ? Absolutely nobody on the planet has a good intelligence picture of that part of Africa. We had a decade to upgrade our sources in the Middle East and it didn't help much what we did, how bad is the Africa desk at the CIA ?
What exactly do you do with the troops ? Seriously. How do you use the men with the rifles ? Round up the Huttu ? Guard the Tutsi ? For how long ? Confiscate all the guns ? Does that *ever* work ?
Rwanda was terrible, but there was nothing anyone could do to bring force to bear on the issue. Not that soon after our well-intentioned misadventure in Somalia - which has ports and many times the airfield capacity. And, incidentally is strategically located near the outlet of the Suez Canal. But that wasn't the deciding factor - accessibility was. You simply can't project enough force into Central Africa to do any good, and there isn't really anything they could do if they were there.
Appletalk would be a step up... Oh wait, Apple let that die. I'm only still using it at the office for 4 printers; LW 16/600s Will Not Die (especially for labels) and the Splashes are EFI products and consequently suck.
The best I've been able to get 10.2 to do under 64 MB (during ahrdware swaps) was some MP3 playing. Specifically, I had iTune playing and then decided to visit mp3.com to see if there was anything new by Trance Control. There was, so I started sampling tracks in IE. I suddenly realised that I hadn't paused iTunes and the 64MB machine was happily playing both mp3s without skipping. It did take almost a minute to switch to iTunes to quit it though.
Or you could look at the cost of OS X Server as being for the nice admin tools. Apple is well aware that much of the value proposition of OS X is in the GUI, APIs and development tools, that's what your $129 goes for. If you can handle config files or finding control panels and webmin tools online, then OS X Client is still a BSD variant and can compile and run pretty much anything. Heck, kill the Dock and Finder processes and run in X11.
Of course, the only good reason to not be running Linux or BSD then is if you must have a G5 because that for exactly what you do, it's the best bang for the buck. Although running YellowDog or SuSE on a Mac and using MacOnLinux (or whatever it's called) to run iTunes and other QuickTime stuff.

That's the one !
Gods, a Jack Kirby screenplay and concept art. It won't happen, but somewhere in a universe near here...
Note to self, spend more time in Directory Access.
Thanks.

Try the SimGolf demo, it's a lot more fun than you'd think. He put in a nice balance between building the course and playing tournaments on it.

Thanks Apple - even if it did take three updates.

That's a relief. Probably porn sites.
I certainly can't add to that.
Unless your future boss is an unfeeling android...
So tell us, what's your major ?
Geee, MLB in WMA or RealPlayer. There's a hole with no bottom.
And besides those and Quicktime, who has the other 37% of the streaming video market ?

Or Vodaphone has *started* locking phones, but unlocked phones are still in the sales chain.

...and you'd have one heck of an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy.

That's *very* profound. Yeah, I've noticed that too. Thank goodness someone finally said it.
