I am beginning to think that VMWare's fling could be interesting with this hardware. I am dreaming of a cheap vSphere/vSAN cluster to play with.

If you are unlucky enough to have chosen a hybrid exchange setup, you are stuck with a On Premise Exchange even if you are using their SaaS offering. It might have changed with Exchange 2019, I haven't check recently. Looks more like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation to me!

Why would that be, when the average system update support window is 41.2 months for Apple and 21 months for Android (source : http://www.androidpolice.com/2...) To me, an Apple device costing 2x an Android device would still be a good investment, since the $/month with security updates would be the same.It would also be more friendly to ecology, since it's a device less produced and a device less in the drawer or recycled or thrashed.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'll have to look for an other SSL provider...

Why do you say StartCom is dead? My website is secured with a StartCom SSL certificate and it's still working. I can also buy a new one.

I'll be looking for something running Sierra in a few months, until then I'm keeping it! :P

I've got an iMac bought new in 2007. It is running El Capitan (can't upgrade to Sierra) which will be supported for an other 2 years. That iMac will be 11 years old when it will get obsoleted. Where's that artificially short obsolescence?

A stylus like this product from 1993?

The malware was bundled on the 4th and was waiting 3 days before it started encrypting files (which would be today). The executable was disabled during weekend.

I've got a Mac Mini pluggued to my HDTV with 3 tv tuners hooked to it. It runs EyeTV from Elgato, I pay about 20$/year to get the program list automatically. The tuners are hooked up to an antenna in the hattic. The thing can record 3 shows at once. The software lets be watch recorded shows and live TV on my iPad/iPhone if I whish so. The media library is also shared to my other computers in the house. I've been using the setup for years and it's a joy to use.

Sorry, but you're wrong!

There was a kernel, it was called nuKernel. The boot ROM was used to launch the machine and provide the hardware information. You could replace the Finder with any other app and make the computer boot and work, but the System file was necessary for anything to function.

For the WaitNextEvent thing, what you describe is cooperative multitasking in an OS without memory protection.

Oh.. and DOS was an OS too...

Exactly!

Anyways, the e-mail telling thing will break as been sent many times..

Anti-Virus updates are considered priorities here.

It is tested on a server, if it works good we update production. It takes less than 15min of my time..

Either :

-Follow the mailing list where there as been numerous e-mails telling that the support would end

or

-Use a repository that updates your server easily

Wining was not an option here...

You'd think twice about that if you had an SSD in your machine. Think about the Macbook Air with the 64GB SSD... ;)
