I tried using Mail a few times and though I love its spam filtering capabilities, everything else is working wrong. It won't save copies of outgoing messages. It doesn't warn me if a message couldn't send. I switched to Eudora, which I used to use on OS 8, and it is great. In the free version you get all the features plus a relatively unobtrusive ad box.
My thoughts exactly. But I think ipfw is turned off by default, however no network services are turned on by default so it's not that insecure. You can enable/disable all this stuff including the firewall from the System Preferences under sharing. And if you want to watch your system log (tail -f var/log/system.log) in the terminal you watch ipfw deny connections in the log (at least that's what I assume those entries mean). It's kind of frightening how many attempts there are to access a networked computer on any given day....
Come on, global warming is no problem. We'll just drop a giant ice cube in the ocean every year to cool the planet down. Then if we run out of ice, we'll send all the robots to the Galapagos Islands to fart......
I have tried a few different models of these things and let me tell you there are a lot of bugs to be worked out. The interface seems intuitive but you have to re-learn it for every different model that comes out. And none of the models I've seen have really worked out the speech synthesis bugs. Oh yeah, the speech works and all, but you can't turn it off, and it often pipes up at the worst possible time. And the logic feature seems to only work when it wants to. Plus the maintenance costs are far more than you would think. And you've got to keep them decked out with new hardware if you really want to hang on to them.....
And more memory. More convenient to carry around than a laptop. Touchscreen interface. Come on, you know why these will be great.... you can take your pr0n anywhere!! And as a bonus, just wait for interactive DVD's that really make use of that touchscreen....
The one thing I can't stand about cell phones is the paucity of advertisements. It's really difficult, I go into withdrawal sometimes while on the phone, because there are no ads telling me what to buy. It's almost like being in a forest or cave! Thank goodness they are finding new ways to infiltrate the mental environment.
I've been using OS X for quite some time now on an iBook (G3 700/128 RAM), a TiBook (G4 500/256 RAM) and a G4 tower (867 DP/768 RAM), and the experience is different on each. On the tower, Jaguar screams; speed is just not an issue. And I install lots of extra stuff. On the TiBook things aren't quite as fast but still I don't find speed a problem. On the iBook I sometimes slow to a crawl as I listen to the computer access the hard drive back and forth for swap space. So I think RAM is the culprit. The clock speed of the iBook is faster than the TiBook yet it runs slower because there just isn't enough RAM (especially if I run more than a couple of applications). OS X is RAM-intensive (especially pre-Jaguar; if you have OS X 10.1.5 on an older Mac you should really upgrade for a noticeable speed improvement). Now I just need to get some RAM for the iBook since it's the computer I use most of the time....
Just looked through the mol docs and didn't see anything about Apple's EULA. What I did see is this: "MOL can run on non-Apple hardware. APUS hardware (Amiga PowerUp System) is currently unsupported, but work is in progress." So apparently it doesn't run out of the box on Amigas, though who knows about the new G4s.
Another interesting tidbit from the front page -- "Linux can be booted inside MOL"... is that really necessary? Can you run mol-on-mol like this, and keep going until your computer explodes?
What would be really cool is if the MOL guys figure out how to install AmigaOS 4 on Apple PPCs using mol.
Apparently you can do this using Mac-on-linux but it is against Apple's EULA. Anyone know how Apple feels about this? Is there an "official" position from the Maconlinux people? I imagine as long as no company starts selling Amigas with OS X pre-installed that Apple would "look the other way" at a bunch of geeks putting OSX on Amigas. It gives Apple more underground geek appeal and promotes OS X more widely. It's not like they would support X on Amiga but I wonder if they would really get upset if a visible group of Amiga-OSX users appeared, along with a few HOWTOs, if there are any secret incantations required to get mol running properly on AmigaPPC. Then again, Apple lawyers have gone apeshit over much less....
Slashdot Mirror
Use final scratch!
It's called usenet.
Come on; you know what we'll do with this; what we do with every major technological advance: new, more realistic, and more processor-intensive pr0n.
They stole the Principia Mathematica, not the Principia Discordia. It's OK; put your gun away.
Ummmm, did you even read the parent post? Particularly the part about registering for free?

Run software update now; 10.2.2 is here.
Until the Microsoft Command Line Interpreter is finished.

That way you didn't even have to take your hand off the mouse in a hurry when the boss walked by.
Not off your mouse, no. But you will need the other hand for the option key.
Got any details?

Were there any ads in the book or magazine that you read the story in? I hope you read all the ads first; otherwise you were stealing the book.

+1, funny. That shit is hilarious. You are joking, right? A Christian theocracy is our only saviour from an Islamic theocracy? Hehe, good one.
You could slashdot it with a truck headed in the opposite direction.
Wouldn't it just be a matter of capturing the rom image from an actual Amiga? That's what you have to do to run mol on older Macs.
