OpenSolaris Community Advisory Board Members Announced Schwartz Attacks GPL;
Sun's Mention of "Stewardship" Has People Thinking of JavaAt the inaugural
Open Source Business Conference, which opened today in San Francisco,
Jonathan Schwartz has been giving a keynote. We bring here an early
on-the-spot report, written by former JDJ editor-in-chief and LinuxWorld
Magazine founding editor, Alan Williamson.
Jonathan Schwartz, President and COO of Sun Microsystems, today opened up the
spring Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) in San Francisco. The OSBC is
aimed at the business side of the open source ecosystem, with delegates
ranging from a wide range of areas. It is fair to characterize this community
as comprising "influencers" or decision makers, and it was to this audience
profile that Schwartz pitched his keynote.
Schwartz opened up his discussion on standards by ... (more)
"If the USA and China can have healthy economic trade despite significant
ideological differences, then there's a possibility that those of us in the
freedom-loving Java world can engage in healthy economic trade with the many
millions who will be locked into Windows and .Net."

Back in November, in a move that many Java developers likened to the wily fox
inviting the unsuspecting hen round for a candlelit dinner, Microsoft Corp

One says that Mac has roughly 3% of the desktop market, and that the Linux share is considerably lower than that. Meantime another maintains that Linux already captured the No. 2 spot in 2003. The magazine Wired, on the other hand, reports this month that, in the desktop market, "Mac Keeps Lead on Linux."
Who is right? Do the advances Linux has recently made in making itself more consumer friendly mean it can now compete directly with the Mac OS or Windows on the desktop? Can Linux unseat Mac OS as the number 2 desktop OS in the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan, and if so when?
IDC analyst Dan Kusnetzky apparently predicts that Linux will have 6% of the desktop market by 2007 - whatever the precise figure, Wired thinks that it is "Microsoft, not Apple, who is losing desktops to Linux."
Outside of the US, Europe, Australia, and Japan the story may be somewhat different. In the developing world, experts believe that Linux will become the number 2 platform, and that over time it will knock Windows from the number 1 position altogether.
Mind you, while Linux may be free, there are an awful lot of pirated copies of Windows out East, so it may take more years than anyone realizes. As one commentator at The Mac Observer bluntly expresses it, Microsoft "would rather have a pirated version of Windows being used in China, Vietnam, or Columbia than...a free copy of Linux."
|ComTIA_US_MCSE_Student 08/28/04 10:04:51 PM EDT
Why is it that just about every computer forum concurring MS and Apple turns into childish battle ground? Isn't the idea to expand our horizons and become better human beings? Linux was invented to be an improvement of MINIX(Mini Unix), not discredit Apple or Microsoft. One of the biggest reasons Linux is so successful is the fact that it doesn't discriminate against platforms or OSs. I am speaking figuratively of course, because Linux can not truly discriminate anything.
Linux is available on the Spark platform, PPC, m68k, MIPS, ARM, s390 mainframe, x86, AMD64, Itanium, and many others. Linux is also set up for multi-booting, bootloaders such as GRUB and LILO are great examples of this. Not to mention the fact that it is Open Source, which means any one who uses it can modify it to their needs.
Now, I do not pretend to be a know it all. However, I do know enough to realize that Linux is not about debunking anybody else's opinions. As I have said before, Linux is about expanding our horizons, and providing a reliable alternative; "thinking different".
This is a big reason to give Apple respect; they are an alternative. Sure MacOS is platform sepecific, but so is Windows. About the hardware, if I were to build a dual CPU Intel Pentium IV Computer with high end spechs, I would be paying just as much as I would for a G5. If any of you want the proof, I'll build one for you.
So, instead of arguing over trivia, let's be happy that Linux is succeeding. It's an alternative, if you don't like it, that's fine, don't use it. The same could be said about Windows and MacOS. Getting in *issing contests about who's OS is better, doesn't get us anywhere. It's time for us all to grow up and start acting like adults.
|MacDuff 08/28/04 05:53:24 PM EDT
Hmmm... seems I got the last word in about Final Cut Pro and macs in film/TV :-P
Well, just to be sure about it, an article interviewing LA industry folks at the American Film institute about the Mac platform:
|MacDuff 08/25/04 01:42:45 AM EDT
"So there you go-straight from one horses mouth"
Interesting. Okay. "Liar", huh? Twisting someone's words is also lying, and YOU certainly did that.
I'm a composer in Toronto, the post-production center for Canada, scoring series television. I don't know what "big city" you're in, but that's where I am. And I know what I see. But first, to your slanderous twisting of my words.
I DID NOT SAY that FINAL CUT PRO is "the standard"; I said that MACS are the standard. Certainly PCs are used in post production, as are UNIX and LINUX systems and sure AVID is still in there big. But as a whole, there are more Macs in use than PCs -- WAY more. And there's a trend turning towards FCP. I don't know if there are more AVID systems or FCP out there. Probably AVID, but there are also a lot of FCP. A video producer friend of mine (mostly unglanmourous corporate and instructional) is a Windows user, and he says now that "it's everywhere" that at least he sees, personally. Of course, does 'everywhere" mean EVERYWHERE? No. It's a manner of speech. Now, somehow I don;t think you meant a generality whn you said, "every single production house is firmly on the PC". But you trying to make it look that way is absolutely rediculous.
Also, Macs (NOT singularly FCP) are big in post-audo. EVERY post-audio facility I've been in use ProTools on Macs. I don't think I have ever seen ProTools running on Windows. Maybe it's in smaller facilities, but I haven't seen them.
As for NLE, Avid and some PC systems are certainly being used. But the ratio?? Windows aint King there. And, it is NOT just wannabes using FCP. Did the wannabe nothing video guys give an Emmy to Apple for FCP? Don't think so ( http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/08/21.4.shtml ). But hey; what do those losers at CNN know, too? ( http://www.macobserver.com/article/2001/01/18.7.shtml ), or any of the following:
NBC primetime show, "Scrubs" done on FCP:
BBC show cut on FCP:
BBC themselves adopting FCP into their systems:
Television stations:
CBS MOW done on FCP:
There's more, but I've done enough heavy lifting to hopefully cause the readers here to question the validity of your ridiculous comments. "the only people using final cut pro are the people who place ads in the local paper and edit video at home and try to sell their half assed services, moreover every single production house here is firmly on the PC."
BALONEY! I don't care where you are, there's no way that "every single production house is firmly on the PC", and there are WAY more than wannabes using FCP.
|Mc Duff is a liar 08/24/04 07:26:33 PM EDT
Final cut pro becoming a "standard" in the industry?? Another typical mac evangelist lie and joke- when apple comes out with a product that their moron users like they immediately assume that the 'whole' industry is using it- nothing could be farther from the truth- here where i live(read capital city)- not one single multimedia production house uses final cut pro- they actually use AVIDS $100,000 production suite(which is actually out for the mac- but performs much slower on the mac), the only people using final cut pro are the people who place ads in the local paper and edit video at home and try to sell their half assed services, moreover every single production house here is firmly on the PC-you occasionally see a dedicated SGI editing box or a casablanca- but never ever a mac-there are even moves afield to move to cinelarra in one production house because of low cost. we even have a extremely high end(high price) music production studio here called Q studio which do not touch macs -they use pyramix on the PC. There is even a multimedia school here with a state of the art motion detectors that plug onto a human body which is used for research by military, university and game programmers- what is it powered by -PC.What does the multimedia school use?Not a single mac on campus-why?no pro graphics cards and their machines are too weak for 3d(they evaluated a dual g5 2.0ghz but laughed it off due to dismal perfromance and the fact that you couldn't get 3d studio max-even linux can run studio max under emulation). I actually asked one production house why they don't use 'the industry standard final cut pro"- the response
|umlungu 08/24/04 06:50:09 AM EDT
A killer app is all that is needed. Excel & Powerpoint did it for Windoze , Final Cut & Itunes has it for OSX. Consumer electronics will do it for Linux. I Expect to see more DVR's & general purpose media players, as well as mobile phones running Linux. However, I have used all three platforms in anger for media production and Linux (on a Dell) is by far the fastest and most stable. I would hate to be a support person for Windows. As Dell loses market share to Apple & OSX, I can see Dell starting to market their own, friendlier version of Red Hat. Then all it will take is one killer business app.
|MacDuff 08/23/04 07:00:16 PM EDT
Hey moron! Try telling that to the entire industry that predominantly uses the Mac in their work. Do you realize that most of the porn you whack-off to was probably edited in Final Cut Pro. Are you aware of how significantly Final Cut Pro has been adopted in the industry?
The reality in the broadcast production industry is not how you see it, and with the 64 bit G5 companies like Silicon Graphics are in for a rough ride as more and more CG applications get ported to OS X.
Yes, there are less graphics cards available for the Mac. But its all being done on the HOST COMPUTER within these various programs, ya see. Although OS X uses the GPU for window redraws (something Windows users won't benefit from until "Glass" comes as part of Longhorn... when??) So, even though the selection of GPUs on the Mac platform is weaker, Apple is doing MORE with their resources than Windows has. This is just one of the advantages of the platform that I value (that being Apple's resourcefulness and innovation).
As for gaming? Sure! If I was into gaming hardcore, I'd get a PC. NO QUESTION. As it is, I play Medal of Honor, LOTR Return of The King and several other games of note on my Mac, and it fills my bill. But NEWS FLASH: not everybody uses computers the same way, and not everybody sees the world ONE way or YOUR way. You trying to dismiss the ENTIRE Mac platform on one or two points (one of which is pretty irrelevant) is weak, biased and lame.
And, if it is one guy posting under all these different "names" ("economic rationalist", "apple is the enemy of computing", "Macs are bad", etc.) you are a coward -- and very lame.

|MacDuff 08/23/04 06:53:24 AM EDT
With built-in Ethernet, Firewire and USB, what else would a consumer typically need? How many consumers in reality actually use those PCI slots? I know I do, but I'm a creative professional. For "the rest of us"? Far less than you'd think, I suspect :)
We're talking the masses who buy Dells with Intel's integrated "extreme" graphics, here (shared main memory). And all Macs have AGP with a legit GPU in them.
Now, about that integrated monitor, however... :-(
|Whatever 08/23/04 06:07:32 AM EDT
The sad thing about apple is that they have probably HMHO What is the bet unix implementation that I have ever seen. I use OS X as my secondary machine because we support apples, and I have linux running in a VMware VM on my Dell pc to take care of other support issues. The only problem is that you can only get it on Apples proprietary hardware which no matter how you slice and dice it costs an arm and a leg (for the real machines that is - IF you want one of the closed box (i.e. no PCI slots) toy macs, you can buy into OS X for a semi reasonable price.
If linux had the ease of use of OS X, M$ would get a run for its money. Otherwise, forget it for Linux as a home OS for the time being. One can only hope that the Linux gurus will some day wake up and take a close look at why M$ is where it is (it is'nt just because of predatory practices) and then make the achingly few changes that will be needed for things to really start moving.

Well, good luck on your Mission from God. Sounds a lot like the Spanish Conquestadors. But, the fact of the matter is that Linux is still too raw for the mainstream end-user's desktop and may never reach the level of refinement that OS X and even Windows has (which isn't to say it won't gain more share; it'll just be a different kind of "difficult" than Windows is for those misguided, casual users stupid enough to listen to you.

|MacDuff 08/19/04 09:54:29 PM EDT
What a bunch of anti-Apple bullshit you guys are flinging. Ten tons of IGNORANT bias. No platform is perfect (and do tell me what you hate about Linux, please), but you guys have to get some of your facts straight before you can poop all over the platform. And ya know what? I aint gonna bother even trying to peel yer eyeballs open. Been here before, and you don't like to accept it. Meanwhile, there are other more prominent Linux users who have peeled their eyeballs open (Moshe Barr, Simon Kozens in the U.K. -- and "PC luminaries" like Taco and whathisface at Slashdot and also Anand at Anandtech) who have excercised some objecitivity to see what the Mac platform has going for it. The result? They've added Macs to their computer usage and they dig them. They've got the objectivity to not only ciriticize the platform for legitimate reasons but also to appreciate it as well. Do you??
Also, keep in mind that not all platforms are suited for all needs and users, and there's no law -- nor should there be -- saying that you MUST be a geek to use a computer. For millions and millions of people in this world, the opinions of some NICHE hardcore Linux dudes is completely irrelevant (you think Macs are "niche"? You should think about how "niche" the ubergeek market segment is!). You can bleat on about how Macs suck, while they're gettting work done and not having to recompile the wheel, if you get my meaning.

Yes apple provide lots of choices-want to video edit-choose from three packages(from apple),want to play the latest game(doom 3)-get stuffed i can write it myself,.It's really funny when people consider less than a handful of apps a complete solution and full of choice-wheres premiere for the mac,where's framemaker,wheres sonar,wheres the latest game(....insert title here),wheres the professional graphics cards,wheres a complete 7.1 sound solution....., where's three internal drive bays,where's raid 5?Oh apple's selling MUSIC are they-with gore on their board it's not worth squat-they are selling artists out to fundamentalism. The productivity thing is shallow and garbage-anyone can be productive on anything(an atari st can bring out productivity).Fact is apple can't be too good when they lost out to a company like microsoft with their inferior products, people voted with their wallets and people are still voting with their wallets-just look at how poor g5 sales are-people know apple stands for bad rubbish.Elegance? theres nothing elegant about having to pay for all those software updates for an os which came out as a beta and apple charged for-reliability??just look at what the above apple dealer in australia is doing to users-that's reliability??Oh that's right AMWAY own a considerable stake in apple-speaks volumes. You can take your totalitarian apple company and make sauce out of it, i hope it rots jose.Apple is anti computing and anti choice.

|Jose L. Hales-Garcia 08/19/04 12:43:49 AM EDT
"...because when you buy a mac you have no choice..."
Choice is only one aspect of computing, and arguably an illusory one. Productivity is another. You can keep all the hardware and Linux variations and combinations under the sun. I'll take the elegance, reliability and ease of use which keeps me focused on being productive. Just because you like building your computers and I don't is no reason to be intolerant of each other. We just enjoy different aspects of computers.
I got a lot of work done today and I'm greatful to Apple for providing me with some of the tools that helped me accomplish them. Any tools they didn't provide I could have built from source or written myself. On software at least no one can make the claim that Macs don't provide choices.

The best thing apple could do is just go away forever.If apple was the dominant company selling computers i can safely say that the internet would be tiny-no one would be able to afford a computer to get on the net, comments like the one i read above"we want to sell computers to bmw buyers...", just reinforces how lame apple is as a company, they deserve to fade away.Ditching my mac was the best thing- at last i can use a computer - and have CHOICE- apple is anti choice, because when you buy a mac you have no choice- just a handful of "apple communist" applications-imagine if you had kids and a mac-your kids would kill you because they could get NOTHING to satisfy their gaming urges- hell just try buying a PROFESSIONAL GRAPHICS CARD for the mac- i'm not talking game cards like the x800 or 6800/9800xt but nvidia quaddro, ati fire gl, wildcat cards- oh sorry apple is just for general consumers not professionals- toy computers at premium prices, and toy users with "amway" mentality.My take on linux is Apple is like a totalitarian regime like microsoft/stalinist russia, whereas linux is a free democratic nation- after all isn't al gore on the board of apple?remember what his wife tipper gore tried to do to popular music in the late 80's- remember the WASHINGTON WIVES and the PMRC(parents music resource centre)- i think groups like u2,madonna,wasp ozzy osbourne would certainly remember tipper- i think the phrase "al gore and tipper gore/pmrc/washington wives" speaks volumes of horrible apple.

Intolerance is nothing new. Instead of vitriol toward Apple why don't you share the great things you are doing with Linux. A more favorable impression toward Linux couldn't be made. Waiting for Apple to go out of business are you? That's pretty funny. I hope you're not charging your boss for the time you're spending on this pipe dream.

HOORAY FOR ZARDOZ.Personally i got frustrated with apples hardware-g5 pro machine with 2 internal drive bays-what a bad joke, as for the sound BLECHHH-TWO CHANNEL STEREO JOKE. I didn't bother retaining my apple machines- just gave apple the flick and switched to a pc runin linux-windows is good for only games.As for that comment regarding the apple centres in canberra-VERY BAD i have heard about the managers practice of exchanging internal components for older lower specced ones from many people- but then again many apple users never open up their machines, or even know the mhz, so it is their own fault partly, if apple sellers are doing this how can you trust such a dishonest company that screws its users over.It'll be a cold day in hell when i buy my next mac.

fyi, X11 is the server for graphic desktops. it is not itself clunky, some desktops on it are. For the Mac users about, I suggest looking into gnome for the more Mac-ish experience. And with a properly configured box (which I'll grant is the biggest problem with linux), you won't notice all the complicated bits and entrails below that spiffy desktop
|Jose L. Hales-Garcia 08/13/04 02:57:45 AM EDT
According to Apple death reports there is no market share left to take from Apple.
But Mac is a fun and inclusive operating system. It is so simple to use and does cool things like iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, stream to Airport Express. I couldn't imaging using anything as complicated as Linux and as clunky as the X11 windows system for just doing things involving my family. There is an added bonus too. If my kids want to get into the nerdy stuff, Mac OS X has a complete UNIX system under the hood as well. It's reassuring to know that the terminal is there to teach them how a computer does all these wonderful things.
|Zardoz 08/12/04 10:00:00 PM EDT
No mac user would switch to linux eh?I did and i must say things can't be better- no longer do i have to worry about spending australian $229 on every update to os X(considering there have been 4 updates), the whole Philosophy of linux is what i love(apple and microsoft are as evil as each other-apple worse"quote from apple centre Fyshwick-"we are only interested in selling machines to people who buy mercedes benz or BMW- if you don't have money go away"-funny considering that most musicians are poor and struggling and this is what their beloved apples philosophy is), new life has even been breathed into my old macs- something that apple wouldn't do with os X-can you say old powermac 8500 with pre-emptive multitasking/memory protection apple?Damn you and all your blind evangerlists to hell apple(good one mr peemoeller-you know who you are, and mr hogg what a dishonest businessman you are-switching mac innards for lower spec parts-really).
|tsteele 08/12/04 07:07:07 PM EDT
None of this really matters. I still don't understand why Linux users want to dis the Mac so much. The fight is against Windows, and both platofrms should join forces. Besides, the Mac OS is a very slick implementation of FreeBSD. If you want to supplant Windows, you need to design something as easy to install and use as the Mac on top of Linux. Do that, and it will be just Apple hardware with MacOS and PC hardware with Linux. Windows will die out as it rots in infamy like the Romans and the Greeks!
|Jin Ho 08/12/04 06:24:36 PM EDT
Well, it's just hype for now. There are many ways to calculate sales (or marketshare). One of the *easiest* way to measure is by "sales-in" numbers (sales from product vendors to distributors). Using this approach, the market research companies or the product vendors sums up all the units that's shipped and stored in distributor/retailer warehouse (like Walmart's), rather than *sold-through* to consumers.
However after a few months, if the "sales through" (also called "sales out") numbers are low... meaning if no consumers bought the units, the whole shipment can be returned back to the vendors. This return or stock balancing are usually not reported. Worsestill, some companies have problems with "fake" sales moving between the vendor and the distributors (channel stuffing), and they don't amount to any real use.
A similar measurement foul-up happened to Nokia's Engage portable game console. We see different parties claiming different numbers because they measure different things.
So just chill out, ask where the numbers come from, how is it measured before jumping to any conclusion.
As far as I'm concerned, Windows is still #1, Mac is still the coolest, and Linux is still the most "free". 8^)
|MacDuff 08/12/04 03:33:56 PM EDT
Apple's "share" always gets confused and confuzzled ("confuzzled" is even more confusing than the state of "confused"). There is the QUARTERLY SALES MARKETSHARE measurement -- the percentage of computer sales in any given quarter and how many of those computers were Apple's, Dells, HP's, etc. And then, there is the percentage of INSTALLED BASE. In raw units, Apple is shipping more of just about all their computers than they have in years. This is great news. The problem is that their piece of the pie LOOKS smaller, because the PC guys are selling even MORE units than Apple — but Apple is selling more units than it did before. It's a perception thing, and perception is rarely in tune with reality.
Apple's quarterly sales marketshare fluctuates EVERY QUARTER between 3 and 8 (or more) percent, depending on what you're measuring (laptop, desktop) and where (North America, Europe, Asia etc.). Their installed base, on the other hand, is estimated at about 10%; between 25 and 30 million users, worldwide. That's counting brand spanking new G5 systems, right down to an aging but operational Performa 5200 (of which Apple sold TONS of to schools in the mid 90's pre-Jobs' return).
And I am part of that installed base. I bought OS X Panther last year, upgraded to the Logic Audio Pro music production suite, have purchased several game titles, am contemplating the new Office upgrade -- and have sunk about CAN$1,500.00 into upgrading my five year old G4 Powermac, which now has 2GB RAM, an ATI 9000 GPU, 72 and 120GB internal drives, a Pioneer 8X intenal DVDRW and a dual 1.3GHz G4 processor upgrade. On top of that, I also purchased TWO 17" NEC flat panels for it. All togther, I guess I have probably spent about CAN$4,000.00 in the past eight months on hardware and software upgrades. All that, but I didn't buy a new Mac last quareter, nor have I bought a new Mac since 1995. Regardless, that's a fair chunk of dough coming from one end-user, and even EA Games got a blip or three on their Mac sales from my game purchases (via Aspyr; the Mac company that ports many EA Games and other titles to the Mac). So, that has to account for something, no matter what platform one uses. But, in counting how many units Apple moved last quarter compared to the other guys, that $4,000.00 doesn't count. That's unfair to any platform, and is why quarterly marketshare is innacurate. And yet, it is completely taken as the defining measurment of a platform's health... and that's a crying shame.

definitely linux is about windows alternatives..no one would switch from Mac OS to linux...but linux share should be rising for the same reason windows share is so high.. people buy new computers every 2, 3 years as opposed to every 3, 4 with a Mac. Analyst Paul Thurrott said he's gets a new *ahem $400 Del every YEAR...
Let's talk about installed base, not marketshare.. Apple has 25 million loyal users.. how many does Linux have? Because in the real world, in the homes where the real people live.. Linux does not yet exist.
|anonymous 08/12/04 11:41:44 AM EDT
Have you heard of the windows starter edition? It is aimed at third world countries(significantly cheaper), and microsoft recently announced that it would inlude more nations. Although more distros are charging their customers for the software itself plus updates/support, linux nonetheless is free. However because of compatibility, ease of use/familiar interface, and most of all OEM distribution, windows is going to be OS of choice.
So for your information, windows is not going to be knocked out in fareast asia.

My 5 years old son is having frequent nose bleed for last one month. Though the amount of blood is quite less but the onset can be as frequent as twice a day.

For last few days the frequency has again increased. We stay in Pune and the weather has been dry but changing now. He is taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Please suggest if we should revisit a specialist.

Are you worried about the labour pain? It is perhaps the most difficult phase of a woman's life. But today, there is no reason to worry for. Thanks to epidurals, you can give birth to your baby without experiencing the pain involved.
Epidural is the new age anaesthesia. It is used to block pain in a specific region of the body. A patient is not made unconscious fully at the time of any surgery. He or she is given epidural for regional anaesthesia. Its use has become popular during childbirth. A pregnant woman is given epidural at the time of labour or c-section. It provides relief from the pain rather than cutting off the patient's feelings or senses.
Although it has become a widely accepted technique, women worry about the safety of epidurals. They are concerned about the safety of the baby and their health. But it is absolutely safe.
- How do these work?: There are nerves in our body, which carry the pain signals to the brain. These nerves pass through epidural spaces. Therefore, anaesthesia is injected into these spaces to stop the pain signal from reaching the brain. This blocks the pain. If you are pregnant and thinking whether to go for epidural or not, you will have a lot of questions in mind. Here's all that you need to know about epidurals:
- Effect on baby's and mother's health: Use of epidurals tends to increase the time of labour by 20 minutes approximately. The mother may develop fever. However, it blocks the pain. This is some relief to the mother. As there is no pain, stress hormones are not released. Thus, blood will not be diverted from uterus and placenta. Baby's supply of nutrients and oxygen will remain intact.
- How painful it is?: Women mostly worry about the painful insertion of the epidural needle. However, this will not hurt you. A small needle is first inserted to make the area numb. Thereafter the bigger needle is inserted. You may feel the discomfort for five seconds. The epidural medicine starts functioning just after 5 minutes of insertion.
- Procedure: First the patient is made to take the suitable position. While some may be asked to lie sideways, others may be asked to sit straight. The area is cleaned with a solution. The small needle is first inserted to create numbness in the area. Once the area is numb, the bigger needle is inserted. You might feel a pinching sensation. Thereafter, a catheter is threaded to the epidural space, where the nerve carrying signal of pain passes through. Epidural medicines are pushed into the region via the catheter. Epidurals don't affect your nerve endings or spinal cord. They are pushed into the epidural space. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a gynaecologist and ask a free question.

Grisoft releases small business security software
Grisoft SRO rolled out two security products on Tuesday for small businesses that want simple management, the company said.
Grisoft SRO rolled out two security products on Tuesday for small businesses that want simple management, the company said.
Microsoft quietly deployed a patch to its Windows Live OneCare security suite earlier than expected to fix a bug that has erased some users' e-mail.
Symantec has uncovered an unusually sophisticated email scam, targeting eBay users with a combination of legitimate eBay auctions and a Windows Trojan that intercepts a user's web traffic.
US-based Domain registrar and hosting company GoDaddy.com was hit with "significant and sustained" distributed denial-of-service attacks Sunday, the company said.
Cheap or free registration of new domain names drives the growth in Web sites used for spamming or hosting malicious software, according to research from McAfee.
A Windows feature designed to simplify computing for disabled users could be misused in Vista, a McAfee Inc. researcher reported Monday.
Nearly a year after Microsoft introduced Windows Live OneCare, the company's first foray into the security market is still getting low marks from analysts and users.
Pornographic spam dropped to an all-time low in February, as spammers concentrated on health-related products and other general product pitches, according to a report from vendor Symantec.
Microsoft will skip next week's usual Patch Tuesday because it has no fixes for users, the company announced today.
Microsoft has acknowledged that a bug in its Windows Live OneCare security suite has been causing users' e-mail to vanish from Outlook and Outlook Express.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

2002 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4dr Sedan (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
This is my first luxury car and bought used to avoid sticker shock. The only item needing warranty replacement were the two gas-filled lifters for the trunk's lid. I bought as "like new" with 23K on the clock. The original owner replaced the Yoko 390's with Michelin XSE MXV4's as they wore out too soon. The ride is not super quiet over interstate pavement joints which may be exasperated by these new tires. I don't know. Also, the AC is so powerful that even in a Gulf Coast summer the fan speed on "Auto" has to be manually moderated. This involves using the Navigation touch screen. A nice problem to have though in Houston. I am 100% happy with this car even in our new era of $3/gallon gas.
The engine; plentiful power when needed but always silky smooth AND QUIET. The interior; reminds me of a 5 star hotel. Navigation; invaluable when out of my home territory.
The Lexus Link system (aka "On Star") which is now unavailable and soon to be disabled should be downgraded for free to an emergency only police alert device. My system was never activated ( not value for $)so still has its initial year of service available. What a waste of resources to just junk it.
2002 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4dr Sedan (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
I have owned every luxury car known to man. This is the best. This is the second LS that I have owned. It is dealer certified with 28,000 miles and was almost $20,000 less than a brand new one. You can't go wrong buying a certified car. I don't think that there is a better car made at any price -- including the Mercedes S model. You might find more features -- but not a better car.
Great ride, quality of material, quietness of engine, and great feel of safety due to the car feeling so sound and sturdy
Here is the "except". The standard radio is absoletely the worst that I have ever heard in a luxury car--sounds like it belongs in a cheap American economy car. I traded a 2004 Acura TL with XM Radio with an unbelievable great sound. I would "almost" trade back just for the radio.
2002 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4dr Sedan (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
After almost three years I have never had a problem. Routine maintenance has been the only requirement.
Folding outside mirrors.
The exterior design is a little bland. The GS is better.
2002 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4dr Sedan (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
I total love my Lexus 430! I have only had the car a month but it is hands down the best car I have ever owned. Just sold an Infiniti M45 haited the car. I have owned Mercedes and Cadillac but Lexus is hands down the best for the money. The Ultra Luxury package is awesome!!! You would pay 15K more on a Benz with the same equipment. I also got the Lexus warranty for 7 years and 100K! How can you go wrong! If you are looking for the best ride you have ever experienced for a reasonable price please look into the LS430. You can't go wrong!!!!!!!!!
Navigation, comfort of the seats, head and leg room, stereo is awesome, enjoyment of driving the vehicle
Only suggestion I would like to see is Massage seats for the front!! Mercedes has it, and on the Ultra Luxury for the money the 2 front seats should have massage! Also a control to cut off the rear entertainment!! Kids drive u crazy hitting all the buttons. Also provide splash guards for rear
2002 Lexus LS 430 Sedan 4dr Sedan (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
This was to be my retirement car, you know, keep forever. Got the Ultra. Bad choice. Took delivery out of front alignment. Turns out I discovered air suspension was causing a strong lean (2" shorter on right"). Didn't notice until sitting on a perfectly flat surface. Should have gotten the standard suspension. Took dealer three times to get right, had to make call to Japan.
Navigation is best around. Except my August 2002 purchase was only updated through 2001. Novelty of voice command Nav wore off after a few weeks. Regular Nav in my GS (not voice command) is just as good.
Loved the Lexus Link (OnStar). Was not happy that they did not offer an integrated phone in So Cal (even though it's in the brochure), and now they have taken the Lexus Link out of the 2004/5 models.
