Massive WWDC Rumor Roundup
An anonymous reader writes "MacRumors.com posted a massive rumor roundup of all the major rumors surrounding Apple's World Wide Developer's Conference which starts next week. There's been talk of 970 PowerMacs, PowerBooks and Panther... seems like the biggest uncertainty is whether or not 970 PowerMacs will ship or not."
they HAVE threatened legal action on quite a few rumour sites recently - Think Secret's still got 2 pulled stories on it's front page.
That was classic intercourse!
People, pay attention. The 15" powerbook was held back because Jobs promised to support MacOS 9 until ... this summer. With that constraint off, it can get the new technologies that are not supported in MacOS 9 (bluetooth, airport extreme). That doesn't mean it's getting the 970.
"I've heard from others that this is also true of regular (non-VPN) NFS mounts as well."
/Volume/NFS directory if you do then your terminal will hang (Thus wishing you can run the same application twice). Now it is time to admit defeat so you reboot the system. But all the applications close except for the finder. Thus it will not reboot. Last step it to hold down the powerbutton until forced power off. Wait 30 seconds power it back on and run FSCK and wait. That is my only Major Issue with OS X
Happens to me all the time. This is what I normally do.
On my powerbook.
Mount a NFS drive at work.
At the end of the day. I close the lid (Putting the laptop to sleep)
When I get home I open the lid (auto detects I am on a new network gives me a new IP adress)
Opps my NFS drive is still mounted but their is no routing to it.
Now when any application tries to read it you get the spinny sprial ball. And it will never end. If you are lucky you may get to the terminal and do a reboot but never try to unmount the drive or even go to you
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
I've had the same problem myself. One recommendation I can provide is to try mounting the NFS share using the "NFS Manager" program... When using this program, you can tinker with lots of parameters that are normally more difficult to experiment with at the command line. For example, you can adjust some of the timeout parameters that should give you a little more leeway in the event of getting the spinny beach ball of near-death. It's not a complete solution by any means, but it does seem to help some. All of us with this problem should write Apple to have them fix it.
About the only other advice I can provide is to remember that you have a mount active, and then unmount before leaving work (easier said than done, of course).
Slashdot's first reaction to VMware
There isn't any difference between the desktop G4 and the mobile G4. At all. They are the same chip.
Try that with your Pentium 4. Oh wait, they did, and then called it 'SpeedStep.' In other words, the Pentium Steps your Speed DOWN when on battery, making it mHz to mHz slower than a G4 laptop.
