I have the same driver and utility installed on my old powerbook which has Belkin WiFi PC card, I bought it as a replacement for one that broken by my son.
Belkin previously used Broadcom chips which are supported by Airport software, but switched to Realtek without changing the model number.
Although Mac OS9 doesn't natively support dual processors, application support for duals can be added via a system extension.
Um, no, OS9 has in-kernel support for multiple processors, and the Multiprocessing API library is built into the System file. Granted, this doesn't give you the same simplicity and transparency as OS X or another UN*X, but it is very much native. The bulk of OS9 runs as one of several preemptively scheduled tasks, 'blue', all the time (even on a single processor).
Apple has flirted with duals since 1996's 9600 MP
9500MP August 1996, introduced only three months after the first multiprocessor MacOS machine, the Daystar Genesis MP - both products the result of Apple/Daystar collaboration. The 9600 didn't arrive until 1997.
BUT, releasing (and selling) a mainstream OS without the capability of burning CDs is about as half assed as you can get!
Pardon? Does that mean that every mainstream OS except MacOS 9.1 is half-assed? I like Macs but that's a tad harsh. You are aware of the specific feature (Discburner) being referred to?
Even though MacOS X 10 is finally released Apple considers it to still be a beta product - witness Apple's not shipping it installed on Macs until July.
They do not, they fixed ~all the bugs targetted at the GM (Radar priority X1 IIRC), ergo it is not a beta, end of story.
What's been put out so far? Really nothing more then re-incorporating some material from the beta releases that weren't cleared in time for the Golden Master. A few bug-fixes, a minor update or two bringing things like MacOS X iTunes up to par with it's MacOS 9 cousin.
Indeed, bugs were already being targetted for "Software Update" prior to GM, and Update 1 was feature(fix?)-frozen about a week prior to 10.0's release.
All of this will likely appear as part of the rumored MacOS 10.5 for the installed release.
MWNY is 10.1 (Puma), there is approximately zero chance that it will be 10.5 (Jaguar?).
this is a 1.0 release of OS X. apple didn't intend this for widespread use on mission-critical systems (who would do that anyway?)
People that find Tiffany or The GIMP better suited to them? People that want to use the huge amounts of software that simply never made it to 9.x? That's who. Apple did intend this for widespread use on mission-critical systems, but not by forcing it on people whose otherthird-party mission-critical software isn't updated, for whatever reason (ie, why hasn't Adobe finished their 3 year-old Carbon port of Photoshop yet?)
2) CD Burning. Give me a break... Apple touted that CD auth support would be coming "soon" after the initial release and that was one of the reasons I was willing to plunk down the money for the OS and stick it out from the get go, but iTunes for burning just doesn't cut it for me. It's a great MP3 (I can still say mp3 without being sued right?) and CD player, but I (and many others I know) really prefer Toast.
Go shout at Roxio then. For the record 10.0.2 included the DiscRecording.framework neccessary for Discburner, but Finder 10.0 needs to be updated too.
So we release a linux distribution under an open-source license so that you can sell them and make money? Shouldn't the programmer get something out of it?
I'm trying to hemorrhage karma, but it seems a little obvious.
rootnode.org - Music, Open-source style. You've got to see this.
s/see/hear/ surely? And where perchance does the Amazon affiliate cash go?
meanwhile 99% of the computing world boots up some version of Windows every day
And we don't care. Millions of people use AOL everyday, and yet I feel no need to use that despite it's obviously bigger market share. McDonald's sells god-knows-how-many burgers every day, and still Burger King users continue in their own little incompatible world.
See how the story title is "ICan'tRead Movie Promo" and the link is to "http://images.countingdown.com/images/media/trail ers/ICan'tRead/ICan'tRead _trailer2_h.mov" and the AICN story is headed "Strange ICan'tRead Site Online"? There's a hint in there somewhere.
Christ. If this is journalism, then I'll just read M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead for news.
Wow! I didn't know EMACS had an AOL mode. Is there no end to its power?
P.S. Whatever the codec is for that.AVI, it's unsupported in XAnim.
Blue and Pink, based on the color of Post-its used to brainstorm ideas on the future of the MacOS, blue for stuff that could be added, and pink for stuff that needed a complete rewrite. Blue became System7 (hence Bluebox and TruBlueEnvironment for MacOS X's "Classic" environment.) and Pink became Taligent (a "set of object-based system service frameworks built on top of an enhanced version of the Mach 3.0 microkernel", sound familiar?).
Opus - A 68k Microkernel from 1988, the original host for TAE (Taligent Application Environment) frameworks.

This isn't a good site, many people will remember when someone doctored a shot of a new Nokia product and Meader ran it as "Top Secret iPhone revealed by our Apple sources", or the whole UMA-1 vs UMA-2 bullshit that he's been plying for years.
What he has called UMA-1 in the past was really called Core99 and Apple has even used this "codename" in public, and yet when Apple finally moved the January2001 iMac to a new architecture, where "UniNorth" (north-bridge) and "KeyLargo" (south-bridge) were combined into Pangea he didn't even notice!
You seem unaware that trolling MacOS Rumors is a popular pastime among knowledgeable Mac users, and alledgedly even Apple staff?
Um, hello, mkisofs+cdrecord? What you mean is "doesn't have a minor 9.x Finder feature Apple introduced in January, which Windows, Gnome, KDE, Solaris, BeOS, etc, etc don't have either".
MacOS X is NOT Unix. Uhg, I wouldn't recommend this to my Unix friends. Damn, even 'root' is disbled until by reading the Ars artical to figure out how to turn it on
If you're too dumb to work out how to sudo passwd root you're too dumb to use the root account responsibly.
and you WILL need to turn it on.
Given that the Admin group is in sudoers by default, just what is it that you need root for?
Theoretically? Maybe. Actuality? Nope -- I know of no DVD player that has A/V inputs:-/. Being that consumer DVD players can't record, it actually makes sense that no A/V input is provided.
Practically all players sold in the UK (and I assume Europe) have A/V in (SCART) for connecting a VCR. Do all USAsian one's really only have an out?
Like this, maybe?

That forum thread and knowledge base article aren't connected to this issue at all, except that both involve ARDAgent.
The claim "Apple's built-in file system permissions verifier really wanted to delete the ARDAgent program" is just nonsense.
Which bombs did Greenpeace set off?
They both use whatever description Apple chooses to give, there is no functional difference.

Apple is the dark side. :)
Probably not, but that same average mac user most likely won't upgrade in the what, 1 month? before Apple says they'll have burning in X.
