I don't understand why you'd consider it a bad idea to finance at 0% (assuming it's 0% for the life of the loan). Assuming you can budget wisely then 0% financing is an excellent way to stay liquid if you're other option is the shell out the exact same amount up front. Now if you have to pay...

Actually the word "TROLL" would be more apropo. You can't tell me that ANYONE actually places ANY truth in this, uh, "rumour". This is so far beyond reality that I'm amazed it has received the credibility that it has. Of course it has spawned this nice discussion about where Stevie lives and...

afaik there isn't one that's accessible that ships with OSX. You can download Xerces from apache.org. It's free and it's good (actually used in lots of commercial apps). Versions for C++ and Java.

One note on this. Notice that there is not a single application out there has has not been cracked (at least not one where someone who was interested enough to to bother to try it). You have to ask yourself why are you trying to limit its use and how much effort you're willing to put into...

Since no one else has replied, I'll give it a shot. On my Pismo I have the built-in ethernet, airport, and pccard wifi card. The internal and airport simply show up in my network config (en0 and en1 respectively). I assume worse case you slap in a Mac compatible nic and install a driver and...

I can't speak for exactly which package/solution to go with, but I can tell you that you should ALWAYS have some form of removeable media as backup and that you should ALWAYS have backups that are offsite. Never count on a fixed solution for your backups. The reasons are many. What if a...

Hmm, marketeers must absolutely love you since this is exactly what they want you to think. By that logic I guess Linux is a piece of crap compared to WinME and the FreeBSD derived portions of OSX must suck big time, and Apache is junk compared to IIS. Oh and iMacs are lower quality than...

Article in The Register about IBM's upcoming 750GX (thats G3 to you and me) processor. It's expected to clock in at 733Mhz to 1.1Ghz. Big deal you say, well other improvements have been made. Most noticable is a doubling of L2 cache to 1MB. Other performance enhancements should combine to...

They both claim 1440x900 resolution. Did you see them side by side? Personally I think they're both ugly. I like the 15" PB, but the 17" display really throws off the proportions, the now seemingly tiny keyboard looks positively out of place on such a large laptop. I was very excited about...

And if M$ and Apple devoted that time spent on developing transparent windows, dock magnification, and rotating cubes on creating OS's and apps that were more stable, more secure, more useful, and with a _better_ (not prettier) UI, then we'd ALL be better off. Those effects while "neat" are...

Don't know how you do it from the gui, but on your windows box try the following from the command line: net use t: \\my.ip.address\macUser /user:macUser e.g. net use t: \\192.168.1.10\bob /user:bob where macUser is the user account that you're trying to login as (same as you were...

Nope, the fact that you're using DSL should have nothing to do with the problem. OK, like i asked before, EXACTLY what do you mean by it not working. Are you trying to surf to a site, are you getting an error. If so, what error are you getting (e.g. www.foo.com not found). Are you sure you...

Anti/Pro PC/Mac bigotry aside, why don't you wait until people get their hands on the g5 before asking this question. Right now we can only speculate on what it's performance might be. One leg up that you have is that you have a specific application in mind. I would STRONGLY suggest that...

no, the client id isn't needed. You should keep it on "Using DHCP". Just enter 192.168.1.1 into the DNS Servers list on the right hand side of the network dialog.

Open up a command prompt then execute the command, that way the window won't close. Find the DNS line and plug it in, I bet things will start working then.

Be sure to have anyone who responds sign an NDA if you really think your idea has potential. Just a CYA thing, and anyone who's serious about helping shouldn't have a problem with signing it. You can find templates of NDA's on the net.

Well it seems obvious that they'll go after the "big boys" first, that and users offering pre-release versions of high profile albums. The odds are probably slim just because of the sheer number of people, but life will suck if you "win" the RIAA lottery. This brings up an interesting point...

Are you comparing a dual processor Mac with a single processor PC and how much RAM do they each have. My Win2k box (256MB 1.4Ghz Athlon) does great with lots of windows open, but it also has fast drives, that coupled with reasonable memory means very little swapping and good performance even...
