I asked this on macslash too and nobody gave an answer - can anybody name a single OS X virus or worm that a tool like Virex actually prevents? Why do I want to waste my time scanning for Windows viruses that won't hurt my machine and won't be transmitted to other machines unless I am enough of a moron to forward random.vbs files from emails asking for advice or offering to play a very excite game? Word macro viruses exist but it's easier to turn off macros in word than to scan every document. Why would anyone want to install Virex at all? Is it just for the psychological comfort of seeing a program tell you your system is safe?
Here's the thing - I still have to boot into OS 9 to do sound recording, because the software I'm comfortable with there (mostly Coaster) has not been ported to X yet, and it doesn't run under Classic. I'd like to install linux so I can run OS X and 9 side by side in separate mol windows. Does that make sense? Or is OS 9 under linux the same as classic -- i.e. you can't run anything you want to without booting into OS 9 directly. It would be nice to not have to reboot. Then again I don't want to lose speed on OS X but my understanding is that mol runs OS X natively so there isn't a change there. I don't know and I haven't had the time to install it and see; does anyone here know if I would be wasting my time?
I want a G4 iBook. I want white plastic (preferably with backlit keyboard). Titanium is cool and all, but the iBooks are a lot less delicate. For a laptop that is important to me; I stick it in my backpack, take it to the coffeeshop, open it up and get to work immediately (thanks to OS X instant-on feature), and pick up chicks because everyone knows chicks dig white plastic laptops. Then throw it back in the backpack and go to the park with the girl, roll around in the grass without worrying about whether I am gonna smash the laptop in my backpack. Give me a white plastic G4 damnit!!! Otherwise I may never get laid.
The only sight more pathetic than an American so scared of terrorists that he loses his logical faculties is one who is so scared of Mexicans that he does the same thing.
Dumbass. Mussolini was a fascist. How is fascist accurate for Nader? I said it would help to provide evidence for your outrageous claim. Instead you say you don't want to be courteous. Fine, then you're not just a dumbass; you are a rude dumbass.
He's former Attorney General. I suppose given the current one that isn't necessarily a ringing endorsement, but he's no nut job. A blowhard, perhaps, but certainly sane and reasoned. Just because you don't agree with him does not make him insane.
And, for the record, in response to another post in this thread, Clark did not speak in favor of Saddam Hussein or the genocide in Rwanda. He criticized US policies in relation to these countries. Don't distort the facts in order to launch a red-baiting emotional attack.
Nice. Another politician with a tiny fraction of a power base offered as a dangerous threat. Personally I'm glad there are alternatives to the two main parties. But I hardly conceive of these alternatives as a greater danger than the people who are actually running things, or who actually have a chance to do so (e.g. democrats and republicans).
You think someone who got 1% of the vote can create a totalitarian state?
What crap. If you have a specific argument against Nader's agenda, spell it out rather than just calling him a fascist. Something people on all sides of the political spectrum should remember when engaged in public discourse.
...maybe some light artillery if you can steal it, and plenty of transport, and you have the makings of decent light infantry.
And you also have the makings of the next Waco. Not only will your light infantry get creamed; no matter how noble your cause, the media will make you out to be a bunch of terrorist wackos who basically deserved it. The government will be released of all blame for the massacre, and will use it as an excuse for even more PATRIOT-esque legislation.
This whole debate is academic though. If the 2nd amendment really were such a huge roadblock to fascism, why is it that it seems to be the only part of the Constitution that the current administration doesn't seem hell-bent on gutting?
I find the idea that Jaguar can be effectively run on 128mb, even with only a single app active, laughable.
Well then you're sure to get a chuckle out of this. I'm running Jaguar on a 700MHz iBook with 128 M Ram. Running now are Eudora, Chimera, Terminal, and Finder. I had MS Word running an hour ago. Yeah it swaps and yeah that sucks but until I get more RAM in here it does the trick, and it functions fine for my purposes. It does work, and it's not that funny.
And why not? If it does the job, why should I care when the processor was made?
If you're buying a new computer, would you buy one with a decade-old processor? If you're not buying a new computer, this doesn't affect you. Dell is not proposing to take the floppy drive out of your 486....
I remembered reading that Teflon was discovered because of the space program. But I remembered wrong. Turns out, it's the other way around! According to DuPont's website (they would never lie): "Teflon® has been involved in the U.S. space program since the program's infancy. When astronaut Neil Armstrong took his historic 'giant leap for mankind' in 1969, the moon module included numerous applications involving Teflon® resin, including space suits and blankets, heat shields, insulation and cargo hold liners."
That's like saying someone died of heart failure. Of course there were differences of opinion; in his opinion he should have stayed on the project, but the others felt differently. Not very specific.

Since when is Virex's job to screw up fink because perl is "better"?

Because you'll never want to. When will you want to watch 75+ channels of crap? It's bad enough that you can record one channel at a time!

at least as dangerous as Pat Buchanan!

And somebody stupid enough to fire it.
His clothes will stay dirty until he finishes another project, converting his still into a washing machine.
Of course it's real; haven't you ever been to Soviet Russia before?
I thought we had already established that the laptop was hot.

Those advantages are all nice and stuff, but what about that guy starving and dying? That's gonna suck.

Ah well, Tang is cooler than Teflon anyway.
ummmm, err, well, there's....
never mind.
Not to mention teflon!!

Or perhaps they got the hint from OS X.
Hello,This is a excite game
This game is my first work.
You're the first player.
I hope you would like it.
I can see pigs flying too, but only when I take enough acid.
