Any Mac can be used as a server for this. You don't need the server OS, Lion server or Snow Leopard Server for that matter.
To ask yourself if you need the server version, read the description of Lion and Snow Leopard server services. If you don't need any of them then you don't need the server version.
Consider a NAS to be a computer with more than the usual number of disk drive slots that can only be used as a file server (some times additional services, depending on the NAS). If it does the job, you'll save money, but it won't be as flexible.

flash is very powerful and robust. just about every computer on the internet has flash player of some sort and a simple audio piece could be done in a very early version of flash to ensure everyone can use it.

export all contacts to "vCard" format, then import them into AddressBook. simple!
(However, there may have been some revision to AddressBook since I switched away from Entourage. There may be an "import Contacts" function in AddressBook, but I don't think so.)
Tha's the easiest way.

I have to admit, I've been an adament PC user for a very long time, ever since the days of Windows 3.X. As a kid I always wanted a mac, but I ended up with a Pentium 120 MHz instead. Since then, I've steadily made my own PCs, but recently at my IT support job at college I had my choice of computers to use, and I chose an old G4 Cube. Upon getting a two-button mouse, I have to admit OS X has been a joy to use, and an ease with X11 and my engineering classes.
As I see it, Windows is headed in the wrong direction. Windows XP is solid and crash resistant, but with the hassle of a registry and the complication of uninstalling some applications, its not a smooth experience... especially when you have semi-annual formattings to maintain proper speed. The amazing thing I've found in the mac world is that operating systems actually improve speed and performance. This may not be true in the future thanks to the G5, but its still amazing none-the-less.
With this said, I just purchased a 1.8 GHz G5 powermac with a Radeon 9600. I'm sure it will be a world of improvement over the cube I'm use to, once I actually receive it. I was very impressed by the simplicity of my iPod... so I hope my experience will be just as good with the tower. I still find it ironic that I'll be using a Microsoft mouse and keyboard since Apple won't make two-button mice or ergonomic keyboards ... but I guess I'll just have to live with that.
Now to find some equivalent speakers to the Apple Pro Speakers and I'll be happy...

I think he's right. He, along with many other once-popular acts, will be forgotten, a footnote to history in 100 years. However, The Beatles will be remembered because they were riding the tip of the wave that became a world-wide musical sea change. They set in place many of the rock styles that were to follow them. Mellencamp, on the other hand, was simply coasting along as the wave broke on the shore.

Hi all, I am just around to buy two Macbooks (MBP15 for me and MBA11 for my girlfriend).
I know that I can get governmental discount but I am not sure what I can get on it. I have seen somewhere short list with what you can get with governmental discount but I don't remember what was there exactly. I guess that I can get only one macbook in one year but what about applecare? Can I get two? It will be still quite big saving.
I actually asked at apple store and they double check like five times with other stuff and the conclusion was "maybe you can get everything" so it is little bit unclear and I guess it is better to ask.
Thank you
The online store for both federal and state employees indicates that it applies to computers (based on the price difference). Everything else seems to have standard pricing. I didn't read where it said the limit was, but I would imagine it is one laptop a year, one desktop a year, etc. That is how it is with the education discount (I have more experience with that than the government stuff).
Hope it helps.

AbiWord (http://www.abisource.com/) 2.2 is now out. Unlike 2.0 there is also a native MacOS X version available :)
Download it @ Sourceforge.net (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/abiword/) (you may have to scroll down a bit for the OS X version)
Spotted this at OSNews.com (http://www.osnews.com/).

make sure you add the applicationServices framework then use
double idleTime;
idleTime = CGEventSourceSecondsSinceLastEventType(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState, kCGAnyInputEventType);
This will give you the time in seconds that the system has been idle.

I'm looking at picking up a Mac Mini as a HTPC and dropping cable, but then I realized my 42" plasma only supports 1024x768 resolution.
I'm guessing this won't exactly be optimal, so I'm weighing whether to get a better tv. I don't really want to have to spend the extra money on a new set, so I'm hoping I could get some opinions as to how dismal the experience will be with my current set up.
Thanks!

Today I bought, for $60, a slew of old apple products off of Craigslist. These items are:
Hardware: ImageWriter 2, Apple Personal Modem, Apple 2 UniDisk 3.5 (external floppy drive), a replacement board for the UniDisk, A guided tour of mac tape and floppy, Mac 512k/w internal HyperDrive, keyboard and mouse
Software: system software, MacPaint, MacWrite
Manuals were included for all products but no boxes. Everything is in very good shape, even fading on computer, mouse, keyboard, and printer. The computer seems to have one problem, when inserting a disk it fails to drop down, which is required to read the disk. I have tried holding the disk down with a finger and the computer attempts to read the disk but claims disk is bad. This happens with every disk. I would like to know several things.
1. How rare is this computer?
2. Can I fix the problem with the disk drive?
3. Should I fix the problem or sell computer as is?
4. What can I expect to get for the computer as is? Fixed?
5. What are any of the other products worth?

I had a Quadro card that I used for CUDA; ran very hot, and was loud as well.

I would also suggest that if you are buying an external your biggest bang for your buck would be to go with a 2 or even 3 tb drive.

This isnt really gonna help at all but if you are trying to read books with ibooks, you can use the built in brightness option and make it go lower then normal, but this only works for the ibooks application

Ive been looking into getting a new video card for my 1,1 mac pro for some time but I dont want to pay upwards of 250$ for an apple one just to find out its uncompatable with the mac pro...
Haven't we already established the 5770 is compatible with all Mac Pros?

PhotoBooth and QT Player can record via the iSight, though I don't know about brightness settings.
