It is important to know how dea scheduling works before making statements like this.
Schedule I controlled substances
(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
Schedule II controlled substances
(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States or a currently accepted medical use with severe restrictions.
(C) Abuse of the drug or other substances may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.
The difference is schedule II have medical use according to the gov't schedule I have no medical use.
Smoked marajuana has no medical use but Marinol (thc in pill form) is a Schedule III
Cocaine is used medically as a topical anesthetic so it is Schedule II
Crystal meth is used medically as Desoxyn so it is Schedule II
This would be like me getting pissed off at the DMV because I have to get license plates and registration so I can drive my car on the
road, even though I have already paid for the car. We are in a world that has things called "user fee's".
And to counter the argument that you would pay for the software if it was available. Then would you expect the state to issue you a
license plate and registration card for a Formula-1 car? Just because you are willing to pay doesn't mean you should be able to drive any car you want on the road.
During the course of a speach I gave for a College class on the DMCA I preformed 3 violations of the DMCA. Making me eligable for something on the order of 1.5 Million dollars in fines and 15 years in prison.
Perhaps I should have annouced this to the world, I could have been newsworthy.
Apple is also going to recieve an award from the Adult Video awards, firewire and DV have aided the porn industry in cutting their bottom line and getting good hardcore porno to the shelves.
Honestly I believe that apple not releasing specs is a total lie on Be's part they don't want to take the time and money to continue developing BeOS for the PPC as it is too small of a market and they are already struggling to support all the video and nic cards on the x86. The myth about Be not running on G3/G4 chips is compleately untrue. I have a Mac 7500 with a XLR8 g4-350 mhz upgrade card and it runs BeOS 4.5 with no problem what so ever.
Be was just looking for an excuse to end support for ppc platform and it looks like they have found it.
After installing a debian port on a 68k macintosh it would not be hard to make the disk bootable. All you need is a working MacOS system folder burnt on to a cd that has be made as a bootable cd, if you use toast fo the burning this is very simple just check the bootable option. And if you want to compleatly automate the process all you would need to do is put the penguin loader, preferences in the startup folder inside the system folder and have the preferences pointed at the kernal, and bang you hold down 'c' on boot and you are ready to go
You hit the nail on the head. BeOS has a list of about 5 differenc video cards it supposts. And both My beboxes didn't come with a supported card. After running out to walmart and buying a Voodoo 3 I was able to get my x86 going, but I have all but lost hope for my PPC BeBox with and Ati Nexus video card.
I personally take issue with the be having better support for the x86. Once again I should learn that I am living in an Intel world, and I am a PPC girl, or boy rather.
The suit against napster DOES have some sense behind it. If I give someone a gun knowing full well what he or she are going to do with it, I am held accountable as an accessory to murder.
Napster does have the ability to filter what content gets indexed on there server, If they would simply remove the artists that request that there music not be available through there service.
Gnutella on the other had has no centralized server system, or a centralized organization controlling the distribution, thus making it completely unstoppable, and no lawsuit is going to change this.
And where do they get off calling this thing a supercomputer? How many users can it handle at once? Oh, wait, that's right.. they're still running a worthless single-user OS..
Yah I know, god knows linux won't run on apple hardware so you stuck running that dog MacOS. And its only gonna get worse, OS X is a total piece of shit.

Contrary to what people might think Cloning is not good for apple, this is because first and foremost apple is a Hardware company, not a software company. The whole idea for the clone's was to increase apple's market share, letting them become more like MS, a software company. When the market share didn't improve that much apple bagged the idea. So unless apple make any significant advances in its market share, don't expect any apple clones to be popping up any time soon.
I've been apple loyal since i got my first IIgs back in like 87. Since then I've gone from a 7200 to a B&W g3. Mac did multi processing back in the day with the 604 series chips, and they have been doing it on the windows side since the pentium pro's I believe. And you know what, I never really saw a huge push at any time with the market going nuts because they could get a multi-processor computer. And you know why, because the average user, the joe that buys a computer really doesn't give a rats ass, or have a need for more than one processor. And asuming the average person is the one buying computers. I find it hard to believe that a duel g4 are going to jump the sales of macs like you claim.
Why not put this thing to good use and make it a cheap portable mp3 player, It would be expecially nice if you could add a 2.5" laptop drive to it, for added capasity. Now this is something that I would buy.
I went up to the local bowling alley with a few friends on a break between classes. I talked to a few of the people working there and it turned out that all the lanes had to be run manually, due to the fact that the computer said it was march first.
I am just curious as to what issues you are having with your mac users. I also do mac tech for and ISP, and have not found a single problem in the few OS 9 boxes I have set up.
Personally my b&w g3 running OS 9 that I am on right now via modem was a breeze to set up, and I haven't had a problem with it.

Both cases mentioned Jobs and Gates started their own businesses, if you are looking to be employed by someone, don't drop out.

And yes I do own a mac, but I think I speak for a majority of the macintosh comunity, being at 500 mhz for 2 years is kinda shitty.

How can you say someone invented fire, that was more a discovery. Its people like you who give caveman lawyers a bad name.
