Oh wait, it's OK for Apple to have a monopoly on THEIR platform, but not for Microsoft or intel to have such on theirs....
It's not as much of having one as it is about abusing the power you have to force your way in other areas. I'd have to admit that Steve and Co. haven't been exactly angels but it's like comparing oranges and ap.......
From the article:This article should really be called "7 Years of 3D Graphics" because 3D acceleration seemed a suitable starting point..
The point was accelerated 3D not "software" 3D. I still remember bombing runs from Ace of Aces on a Commodore 128 though it definitely wasn't a hardware accelerated game.
I'm RMAing one right now. This is the second 40Gb IBM hd I've had to RMA for my personal use. This drive is a little over 6 months old. My wife didn't listen when I told her to back up her stuff to the server. The good news is that I have now have a green light to buy some more drives and setup some RAID arrays. So it's not all bad for me.
I had her trying out a LTSP terminal to convince her that she doesn't need a hd at all. I can make this work if I can find a IM client that supports all of MSN Messenger's smileys. I get to deal with end-users at home too.:P
No more new IBM drives for me until I see better drives.
Sometimes they are hardwired so bios doesn't cut it. Any good manual will tell which slots are sharing interupts. I guess you could say RTFM in that case.
What's the point of changing the display number? Does this mean I can run multiple "virtual" Mac OS X desktops in parallel?
No, you can't run multiple desktops. In fact, there is very little point in changing the display number. I should probably remove or bury this option in the UI, and make it always default to 1 or 0.
FreeBSD on a dual processor box will match a dual linux box any day. I didn't say beat but they can go back and forth depending on exact applications. If you go more cpus then performance will start dropping off in a hurry. It shouldn't do as well on paper but real world applications show that it performs very well with 2 cpus. It's kind of like micro-kernel *should* be better than monolithic but in the real world it isn't.
I'd go with a dual FreeBSD box any day especially if it is going to be under high loads. I have more linux boxes than anything else right now but their performance under load has been an issue. If you would rather stick with linux then look at some of the alternative VMs out there. I would stick with linux if you have more than 2 cpus unless you really want to go with a commercial Unix (Solaris x86 maybe??).
Now that I think about it, I don't remeber welding much without the sound of rain on a steel roof. I did make a few phone calls to Nintendo's 800 tip hotline from the shop. I still can't believe I was able to get through without a problem on that line. That line was a couple years before they hit mainstream US markets and went to a 900 number.
I grew up on the farm in Nebraska and we learned to fix everything on our own here. If you can't weld, mechanic, etc. then you are in trouble. I think this is what gave me a troubleshooting mind to think problems through. I wasn't the norm with working all day then hacking on BBS all night back in the mid to late 80's.
I work in the town that had the "cow teat" story that hit the national news recently. Strange conincedence.
All I see is the tools that support altivec. There is nothing in the article about a RH PPC ditribution or more altivec stuff in the kernel. You could speculate that this could be the beginning of Redhat on the PPC but this isn't conclusive. Redhat does have interests in embedded applications too so you could speculate they are looking into embedded G4 systems too.
Some have said they would love to see a RH distro. Seems more linux distros for PPC are RH derivitives (Linuxppc, Yellow Dog, Mandrake, etc.) but there are alternatives too (Suse, Debian, etc.) and of course the BSDs.:)
Until a more optimized compiler comes along then it looks like for general purpose applications clock speed will mostly be the indicator of performance.
Having said that, there will always be applications that are optimized enough to kick some butt on a G4 like Photoshop, etc. If you are a programmer then it is nice to not be limited on registers on a RISC cpu. Choose the right tool for the right job. If it comes down to a push then use your favorite.:P

I'd definitely love to get my hands on a SS40 if the price is similar to the sv24/25.
Don't forget the Radeon 7500 on a laptop is pretty decent.
Of course no "admin" would make it insecure accidently or on purpose.
Spam needs to be bulk. This email doesn't go to users so I'm not sure how bulk you could call it

I was thinking that it was refering to the article. Stop and read again.
Most companies with a decent firewall will block your remote IP and write you up and/or fire your butt. This is the company network and not yours.
Now imagine that you have 50 people with chalk writing on your sidewalk a day.
They probably are including bounced email as responses since they did get a response from the server.
True that some do but most of the ones I have met take a jab at Redmond every time there is a chance.
The moderator who marked this up should have wondered the same question.

There is also an alternative server and viewer. Theres a few viewers linked from the last link.

Did you look at the pictures? The mb goes right to the inside of the case. It still over 10"
I must have a different defintion of "spank". Maybe we could add some curves on the outside of the VIA mb and make it the same size and circular.

The file you are looking for is ep2_clone_war_p640.mov. What you downloaded is the stupid click here movie.
