at a guess, the vast majority of people using a personal computer made in the last five years have a version of windows operating system installed, pretty much anything 98 or above have netmeeting already installed, i think the easily accounts for his definition of most
Even better for business use is the new style BSD license as you aren't required to release source and you can actually make a profit off the software itself and not only sell support.
I've heard insurance companies won't cover it if your car wasn't locked, i'm not sure I believe that one.
Insurance Company = "Was the car locked?"
Car Thief = "Uh no"
Insurance Company = "You're free to go"
I do *know* that insurance companies sometimes/often make decisions for the "customers" without asking their customers, like paying out to people even though their customer wasn't at fault.
i used to enjoy my RR cable modem service, it used to be that i was able to max out my ethernet card now i think it's capped at 150kByte, which is still nice compared to dial up, but the backchannel is weird all the time, sometimes i can do 30kBytes easily, other nights i can barely do 10kBytes
time warner in this area is now offering a pvr service which looks nice but i really don't have a use for, and they haven't bugged me about running a small ftp and http server
they give the customer what they want most of the time
A subset of the SCSI-3 standard, also known as IEEE 1394, Firewire is a new high speed data exchange protocol developed at Apple. Occasionally it is referred to as "serial SCSI" because it is a serial protocol and conforms to SCSI standards as well. It is now a common interface on new digital video equipment and is beginning to be used in audio as well. FireWire is fast: it starts at 100 Megabits per second and goes on up past 400 Mbs, easily handling the bandwidth required for a 30 frame-per-second 640x480 pixel datastream from a prosumer video camera. FireWire supports asynchronous (see WFTD archive asynchronous) transfers, as well as isochronous (see WFTD archive isochronous) transfers so that a stream of video from a video camera can co-exist on the same FireWire bus with another sending device, yet the bus will still carry the video images continuously without discontinuities. Another benefit of FireWire is that it is a hot swappable technology (see WFTD archive hot swap) and allows 63 devices on a buss with auto termination and identification
a subset would be missing some features, a superset would have all those features plus more, it's kind of a combination
ahh/. i love thee my top level posting pointing out that windows xp has had this for sometime gets flames http://apple.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid= 46825&ci d=4811055 this one gets modded up for interesting
apple wasn't one of the major companies behind firewire, they pretty much were the only company behind firewire, hence all the firewire trademark bitching that went on a while ago
usb was also "around" in 95, just not quite standardized, some motherboard's from that era had usb ports on them, just no wires connecting them to anything else since no one ever expected anyone to use it at the time
i think neither microsoft nor apple are really innovative anymore, if they ever were, firewire is pretty much just a subset of scsi, with a little bit of whipped cream thrown on top, so it's not as if they were innovating to come up with it in the first place, and it's quite superior to both usb and usb2, even though theoretically usb2 runs faster
win2k had alpha blending on the desktop before aqua ever came along, but so did many x window managers
apple's plug and pray? yeah if you plug it in it just works, or it doesn't, windows sometimes makes you go through a hassle of getting something to work, but hey it works, and working hardware is bad
look at my comments for the past couple weeks, trying to get rid of any positive karma i have by speaking the truth, too bad it isn't working and so many people aren't interested in the truth anyways
I have a Sun Ultra 60, so does two of my friends, we bought them cheap at auctions, they both also own older sun hardware, actually I know about a dozen individuals who own semi current Sun hardware, usually bought at auctions or on ebay,

Last I read, the Athlon 64 would be dual enabled, while Opteron's would be quad and higher.

Oh wait, WinXP already saw firewire devices as network connections and you've been able to do this on PC's for quite a while now
