No posting rights? Less sappy than a Hallmark card? Lame;)
I never much posted but always enjoyed being able to quickly see what's up in the tech geek world all the way back to CnD. Which I always cross in my head with the Computrex pin that said "Loose Bits Sink Chips" that I just found again.
Good luck, seems to be something in the water for a lot of us at the same age/stage of our lives right now. Enjoy the family and turning off the computer more.
Actually, you're wrong. I have bought items WITH my educational discount at the Apple Store (Lenox in Atlanta) several times. You simply tell them you're in education and present your student/faculty/staff ID for them to copy.
Everyone take a look at how many times Jeremy not only answered posts in this thread, but how often he owned up to writing the code in question here.
Very few projects, open source or not, will have any response like this, and I think it's commendable and says a lot about Jeremy and the SAMBA team that this is the public face they present.
...but about keeping erstwhile Soviet scientists in a backrupt nation from being easily bought by other countries which would have readily available funds to being their own missile programs.
It's just now we're seeing the US can't keep dangling new projects in from of Russia to keep its resources and skills targetted towards something semi-useful and productive, and the whole problem has to be revisited. Think of some neighbors of Russia's who'd love to have some experienced rocket scientists, literally.
Just a few comments from someone who works on one of the SGI 1600 flat panels daily.
It does have a nice aspect ratio, but there are SEVERAL problems to it as well. For one, when used in anything but 1600x1024 you get a 'framed' screen with black bars and useless space. Further the NumberNine card really needs to have some improvements to it, as it can create pixelated sub-groupings on the screen in solid color fields especially at high resolution blow-ups (take a picture, any format, and blow it up a few hundred percent. you'll suddenly notice blocks of 4x4 or 8x8 pixels becoming off-color for no reason, while reproduced correctly on a CRT).
I do graphic production as part of my living, and I prefer the ColorSync monitor next to the SGI lcd for color rendering. Once I saw one of the Apple 22" flat panels I was amazed at how handily it beat the SGI I had on my desktop, but alas it was chained to the countertop so I couldn't take it back to compare directly;)

Very simple, if you just ask.

Makes me feel even better for using their stuff.
