I don't see a need to have four computers.

Linux?

Trying to cope with internet censorship. The preliminary phase apparently only involves DNS poisoning on all ISP DNS servers. Should be trivial to override.

EDIT: ... and I'm not coping very well. My body has not been functioning correctly since they started the damn censorship.

You do have a point with Linux, but four computers even with Linux in the mix is still rather much. If I wanted Linux, I would try to use Boot Camp on OSX to dualboot between the two.

OpenDNS? I'm thinking about civil disobedience, i.e. boycotting things.

I play an online game themed around vampires, and I just noticed something.

Look at this picture of an event (Don't worry, there's no violence/gore or such).

In there we can see a vampire hiding from two werewolves. And the way he dresses up looks just like year 1-3 Huckleberry Pie. And he has brown hair too. Strange coincidence indeed. @_@

Ben: "Do you really want to spend the entire rest of your life fighting systems?"
Moi: "Yes."
Ben: "Oh. Wow. You have my respect."
Moi: "Learned from the best."
Ben: "Learned from the worst, you mean!"
Moi: "Yeah, but this is completely different because good always wins. I won't win in our lifetime, but what I help to plant will be the harvest our children and grandchildren and hopefully the rest of our descendants reap."
[Long pause]
Ben: "You don't know you won't win in our lifetime."
Moi: "You're right. I don't know that."

I want a PowerMac G4...along with the Mac Mini.

Sure, a PowerMac G4 is slowly being left in the dust by Apple's desire to use Intel chips and OS-X 10.6 and the forthcoming 10.7, but....a G4 with two 1.25ghz processors still sounds miles ahead of Jasper. And, Im sure I can figure out ways to get the G4 to run nice with modern stuff. There is also one other thing....Classic Environment, though if I want to use that, I can't upgrade to Leopard 10.5, but I probably wouldn't want to anyway as Leopard may not run as good on a G4, even with the dual 1.25ghz processors.

So yeah....I will eventually have two Macs at my disposal, and that mean I may put Jasper in full retirement if I can figure out Samba sharing under OSX.

I just heard something smack on our roof, right over my head. It was too heavy to be a flying bird!

good always wins

I hope you're right. Because I've witnessed the contrary in this crapsack country

Good luck with that. I'm still figuring out Bingo's. Detected okay, but it just will not authenticate the login correctly. Keeps saying password error even if the password is certified correct. Bingo could connect to other computers, but other computers cannot connect to Bingo.

Just came off from servicing a Neo netbook; took me half an hour just to pry the case open and get the hard drive, only to know that the latter's dead and needs replacement.

It can take a long, long time.
