Comment The license is for copying sheet music. (Score 3, Informative) 291

Note that this only applies to making copies of sheet music, not merely singing the songs (or arranging, or performing, or anything else). Same sort of thing is in effect here in Canada, and I'm sure many other places. Not a wonderful policy, but not the culture-destroying terror that the summary implies.

The Curious Case of SSD Performance In OS X 205

mr_sifter writes "As we've seen from previous coverage, TRIM support is vital to help SSDs maintain performance over extended periods of time — while Microsoft and the SSD manufacturers have publicized its inclusion in Windows 7, Apple has been silent on whether OS X will support it. bit-tech decided to see how SSD performance in OS X is affected by extended use — and the results, at least with the Macbook Air, are startling. The drive doesn't seem to suffer very much at all, even after huge amounts of data have been written to it."

Comment DeployStudio. (Score 1) 460

It was mentioned once up above, but I've gotta recommend DeployStudio. After using a stock NetInstall setup for a few years and getting tired of stuff breaking, I gave it a try -- a hurdle or two at the start, but then holy crap is it ever a million times better. Waaayy more flexibility, no need to create actual NetBoot images based on entire masters (just a tiny boot-only image, then it grabs the rest off a sharepoint), and wwaaaaayyy faster. I was doing six simultaneous 16GB eMac images on a 100mbit network in about 15 minutes, which would have taken like a day and a half with NetInstall.
