  1. Re:So when will Apple ditch OS9's memory controlle on Mac OS X Beta Reviewed On ArsTechnica · · Score: 1

    OSX does *not* require 128MB, i got 98MB on my iBook and it runs adequately, Classic is slow to startup but other than that its fine. 128MB is a lot better though. its beta code so i guess it'll be cleaned up

    naa most wars are about money or power. religion used to be the cover story is all. even stuff like the crucades was more about power and the pope giving bored warlords something to do instead of fight each other.

  14. Re: Why Store CC Info? on Western Union Cracked, Credit Cards Stolen · · Score: 1

    on ecommerce websites i have built in the past i have always made sure the CC was not stored anywhere on the server (except for the few moment the transaction was taking place). gee what a nightmare if someone should break in and grab the numbers! the bad PR could kill a small company if a hack did take place.

  15. different platforms on Hasbro Wins Against Arcade Clones · · Score: 2

    does this include versions of games developed for platforms that never had the "original" such as an(for example) asteroids clone for OS/2?

    opps that bomb that fell off the passing B-1 really did make a mess of sealand didn't it?

  17. Re:I used "Star Trek" for a while. on Looking Back at MacOS on x86 · · Score: 1

    if x86 ran even more of the market than it does now would there have still been the same competitive pressures that forced Intel to go for broke in increasing performance?

    exactly, for example chinese.com... if written in chinese it could be 2 characters

  23. Re:domain names should be like soundex on ICANN Plans Non-English Character Domain Testbed · · Score: 1
    They shouldn't do CKJ domain names, they should just define a standard translation, which can then be incorporated into client software and possibly into DNS systems. What's next, I'll be unable to get to a site unless I also choose the correct encoding? Let's see, was that "cool-shit.org in 8859-1, or coolshit.org in japanese encoding, or maybe cool-shit.net eastern european encoding. Or was it coolsh't.org?

    er i don't think they'll be writing the domains in english using CJK encoding, they'll be writing the domains in CJK languages

  24. Re:ugg on ICANN Plans Non-English Character Domain Testbed · · Score: 1

    as the population on the net who can't speak english well or at all increases (and it is) we need stuff like i18n domains . just because u can't see a need for it doesn't mean there is no need for it. actually there is a great need for it. or does "globally accessible" mean written in english?
