New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS
Ethan writes: "A developer on the Yahoo Amiga One mailing list has successfully installed MacOS 9.2 using Mac On Linux. And it seems that adding OS X support is on the to-do horizon for the MOL developers.
I think that it will be interesting to see the people at Apple lose some sleep now that a low cost, fast, off the shelf solution exists to run Mac OS, without any Apple hardware.
If it doesn't do anything else, at least it will give the people buying the new Amiga One G3 PPC board an existing software base." Mind you, I've never even seen an Amiga One, but it would be a pretty silly thing to make up ;) Update: 07/05 07:03 GMT by T : Mike Bouma piped up with a link to a page featuring the same hardware, in this case running Debian, OpenOffice.org and Mozilla.

Speaking of MacOS.. why hasn't a decent MacOS emulator been made for the PC yet? Executor was neat, but it hasn't had any major advances in almost 5 years!

Yeah.
go amiga
Is It?
Amigo OS blows away the MacOS in almost every field. Any Amigo zealot can tell you that.
It reminds me of a story.
As I walked down the sidewalk towards the cute girl dressed in blue and yellow handing out packets of tissue, I noticed that the billboard for Profecio had been taken down and three men hung suspended in front of the empty section of wall painting over any remaining remnants of the old advertisement. I walked past the girl and shook my head, no I didn't want any tissues today.
"They're making room for a new Aeon school sign there, just so you know," came a voice from behind me. Crystal clear without a hint of accent, it caught me quite off-guard. Since I arrived here three months ago I hadn't heard English spoken out in public, much less heard someone direct it at me.
I looked over my shoulder to find no one save the cute tissue girl and her tissue-grabbing clients who looked at no one, especially a foreigner like me. She was smiling at me, though, her eyes wide and neck craned over the balding man between us. "Was that me, you were talking to?" I asked.
"Sure," she said as she handed a tiny old lady begging for tissues a fourth packet, "you seemed to be contemplating the billboard quite hard. I figured I'd let you in on the big secret."
"The big secret?"
"Yeah, you know, I told you already. The Aeon Language School has bought out that billboard right out from under Profecio and is going to put their own."
"Secret huh?" I quipped. It wasn't like I didn't know what Aeon was, I've seen their posters all over the city. With their promise to teach English through immersion and a beaming Ewan McGregor effecting a professorial stance, they have been the fastest growing English school in the city for the past year.
"Well, there's more to it than that," she continued with her perfect English, "but I can't really talk about it now. I've got to finish with these tissues before I can leave this spot or do anything. My boss will kill me if I don't empty these boxes. Are you free this evening?"
"I should be," I answered, "I've got to get to work now. I'm quite late as it is. Can I meet you somewhere around 7:00?"
"I'll be waiting underneath the empty billboard. I can fill you in on the rest of the secret then."
I nodded and gave her a big smile and turned back towards my office building. A date. Tonight! Can things get any better on a Friday morning?
I looked at my watch and saw that it was a quarter past 11. The office had already started buzzing with calls and clients and things I really didn't have any desire to take part in, not today at least. I dialed my assistant and told her I was sick and not going to make it to the office. I gave her the day off too, if she wanted.
At the intersection I turned right instead of left, towards the train station instead of the office. Awash in my own thoughts of this evening's secrets, I boarded the train and headed off to Chinatown. I can always think more clearly in Chinatown.
I have been pwned because my
Seriously ObviousGuy, I'm intrigued what happens next.
side note: for those who aren't in "the know" OG lives in Japan.
So did you meat her? Was she cute? Aren't you married?
I know I'm going to hell, I'm just trying to get good seats.
In recent months, the American rogue state has torn up the Kyoto treaty, which would decrease global warming and the probability of environmental disaster. It has threatened to use nuclear weapons in "pre-emptive strikes" (a threat echoed by Hoon). It has tried to sabotage the setting up of an international criminal court, understandably, because its generals and leading politicians might be summoned as defendants.
It has further undermined the authority of the United Nations by allowing Israel to block a UN committee's investigation of the Israeli assault on the Palestinian refugee camp at Jenin; and it has ordered the Palestinians to get rid of their elected leader in favour of an American stooge.
It ignored the World Food Summit in Italy; and at summit conferences in Canada and Indonesia it has blocked genuine aid, such as clean water and electricity, to the most deprived people on earth. Proposals to increase American food subsidies by 80 per cent are designed to secure American domination of the world foodgrains market.
("When we get up from the breakfast table every morning," said the chief executive of the Cargill corporation, the world's biggest food company, "much of what we have eaten - cereals, bread, coffee, sugar and so on - has passed through the lands of my company." Cargill's goal is to double in size every five to seven years).
There is a desperate edge to most of America's rogue actions. The Christian "free market" fundamentalists running Washington are worried. The US current account deficit is running at a record $34billion. Foreign purchases of the huge US debt are falling rapidly. The US stockmarket is heavily over-valued, and the dollar is uncertain.
As one commentator has put it, the "Bush doctrine" looks like "one last attempt to order the world entirely around the requirements of US monopoly capital, before it can long hope to do so".
IN other words this may well be the last throw of the dice before the US economy goes into serious decline - as yesterday's dramatic fall in the stock markets indicated.
This means controlling the oil and fossil fuel riches in Central Asia. It means attacking Iraq, installing a replacement Saddam Hussein and taking over the world's second-largest source of oil. It means surrounding a new economic challenger, China, with bases, and intimidating the leaders of its principal economic rival, Europe, by undermining NATO, and setting off a trade war.
I have just visited the United States, and it is clear many people there are worried. And many dare not say so. Their views are seldom reported in the American mainstream media, which is self-censored and controlled, perhaps as never before.
Instead, the air is thick with the views of the likes of Charles Krauthammer, of the Washington Post. "Unilateralism is the key to our success," he wrote, in describing the world of the next fifty years: a world without protection from nuclear attack or environmental damage for the citizens of any country except the United States; a world where "democracy" means nothing if its benefits are at odds with American "interests"; a world in which to express dissent against these "interests" brands one a terrorist and justifies surveillance and repression.
There is only one way such rogue power can be resisted. It is by speaking out and urgently. If our government won't, we must.
Jealous?! What the fuck?

Yeah, and I can hear those black, unmarked helicopters hovering over your place...
Fucking religious nuts and gun-peddling members of the lunatic right should be tracked down and disarmed by any means -- including lethal foce.
Open your mind and you'll see that the triumph of VHS was the triumph of freedom versus the corporate vision of Betamax, a decision the consumers wisely made. The consumers made the right decision.
You mean you didn't notice until now? Good question. It probably has something to do with the fact that Europe is an overcrowded polluted shithole. OTOH it could have something to do with the antitrust authorities that beat their chests about cracking down on Microsoft and then wind up doing nothing; or it could be something else entirely.
all socialists will die
Name one country that ratified Kyoto. Not signed, but actually ratified.
As you probably know, there is no good scientific reason to sign Kyoto. It is all political.
"by allowing Israel to block a UN committee's investigation of the Israeli assault on the Palestinian refugee camp at Jenin."
As if Israel has any reason to support the U.N., which has issued or tried to issue antisemitic proclamation after antisemitic proclamation, going back to when the UN secretary general was an actual Nazi.
"The Christian "free market" fundamentalists running Washington are worried."
It is easy to detect some whiff of religious bigotry from the original poster, isn't it?
""one last attempt to order the world entirely around the requirements of US monopoly capital, before it can long hope to do so"
I see he is wracked with fear of something that does not exist.
