Sure, I will give you a grand for $1,000,000. Please PM me for details where you can transfer the $1M, and your account details where I can deposit the grand. Thank you!
Actually, what we might want is an EU-wide regulation on what kind of linking is acceptable in the Internet. This ruling could be a sufficient trigger for a proper debate on codification of our on-line rights.
I do cross-platform development. It's quite handy to have 1-2-3 XP/Linux/whatnot VMs running for software testing, with shared folders with the host Mac to get at the source files. Snapshot the VM + install + test + revert to snapshot = muchos goodness.
Windows has its place on the desktop. In a VirtualBox.
Use VBoxHeadless from the command line to launch a non-windowed VM, then use tsclient (Linux) or Microsoft's Remote Desktop client (Win, Mac) to connect to the console.
And don't forget the VM support. I've never had Windows, Linux, or Solaris be so nicely behaved than in a VM on top of OS X, when the underlying OS handles all the screen resolution switching, WLAN roaming, hw virtualization, etc nasty stuff.
When it comes to productivity, lets see a Mac do this:
ssh -X hostaddr application
And have the GUI application pop up on a remote screen without the WHOLE screen like VNC.
WTF are you talking about? You have to do some special trickery to a) get the app to launch on a remote screen, and b) in WHOLE screen mode. When I launch remote commands using ssh from my macbook, I get the X app window on the macbook screen, as one would expect (with DISPLAY=:0) - just like on any sane unix box in existence.
FWIW, I prefer my Linux (and Solaris) in a VM in the mac. No hassle with external screen resolutions, WLAN roaming, switching between wired and wireless, etc.
So yes Apple computers are obviously more expensive than their counterparts and represent terrible value as time advances. Maybe the gulf is not as wide as it once was but its still there.
Terrible value, true. Macbook aftermarket (=used) prices are 70-80% of current shop prices, at least around here. That is value indeed - upgrading to a new model takes surprisingly little additional € when you sell the old one off.
Ah, but the one we had did. It was of the hand-wavy type, infrared switch. Whenever I adjusted the volume on the TV (= iMac) using the remote, the lights on the dining room went on. Or off. So, you see, I didn't even need the DVD player!

This invention is daily routine for Safari users. It guesses the TLD and www prefix (when the coke doesn't resolve).
And to be on the safe side, let's use one-time keys generated from /dev/random!
AFAIK, the current SyFy content doesn't qualify even as SpeFi, which actually implies thoughtful content. SyFy is ...actually strangely appropriate.
Wait. What. Mark Twain invented Danish?

Ah, the classic X client-server confusion - my local (where I am sitting) means your remote :)

I've since gotten comfortable enough that its now linux on linux.
LOL action :D
History seems to hint that rather than foster innnovation, religion retards it. Here's an article summary that suggests sectarian fighting between Jews, Christians and Muslim Alexandrians were the last nail in the coffin for the Library - which had fostered people like Heron, the inventor of the steam engine (around 50 BC).
It just makes me want to scream when I think that we lost 1500+ friggin years...
Religion was the top killer 5000 years ago? I'd love to see your sources for that.
Come on, how could he link to a f*in papyrus?!
e = mc^2, and the LoC ain't light.
So, does anyone know how much data can be stuffed, undetectably, into a 700MB AVI file?
700 MB, if you do it in the dark.

At light speed!
I certainly would hate it if someone DDOS'd my toilet.

What's the difference between 3.01 and 3.1? A big, fat zero?
Is igno-rat some kind of newspeak, maybe for a particularly ignorant lower life form?
Helsinki, Finland, Europe. It's raining and cold right now. That kinda sucks.
For some reason, that seems to be the common denominator for the safest areas: raining, cold, sucks.
Headless servers are commonplace.
...Now please go fetch me a beer, will you? Thx.
While we are being offtopic...
What two wars are we fighting? I don't see any declared hostility with any nation.
If I shot your dog (with a howitzer), claiming having been after a particular flea (Osama bin Fleaden), would that make your dog any less mincemeat?
There is a big word beginning with an H and ending with an Y that fits your statement perfectly, sir. Prefixed with "blatant".
