pecifying '-arch i386' on MacOS X doesn't work though. OSX doesn't ship with fat libraries, so it isn't possible to generate an x86 executable using the gcc switches.
The Darwin 7.x installation CD you can get from Apple (also linked from opendarwin.org) does have fat binaries for everything, although MacOS X proper doesn't.
Well, a slight correction - everything in/usr/bin in the Darwin 7.x is either a script or a fat binary, with one sole exception - distcc. Methinks Apple doesn't like the idea of Mac developers buying a Mac for every desk, then a pile of cheap x86's to make builds ten times faster:)
Microsoft's compiler produces better (smaller, faster) x86 code than GCC.
I get the impression that when you move above vanilla C code (eg C++, libraries distributed in binary form only), different compilers don't play so nicely. (Just like gcc 2.9x versus gcc 3.x). And most of the binary only stuff out there on Windows is compiled with Visual C++.
Well, things are completely different when you tag something like ON A COMPUTER or IN SPACE on the end.
When space goes commercial, the USPTO is going to fuck everybody over. Patents for "exercise apparatus as a collection of elastic objects with grips.. IN SPACE," "method for triggering an action by pressing just one button.. IN SPACE," "procedure for producing human offsping involving rubbing a penis inside a vagina.. IN SPACE," etc.
I mean, come on -- we all know that if you spend time randomly surfing the Web, you can hardly go an hour or two without randomly stumbling across some porn -- or reference to porn -- in the form of an advertisement or a pop-up or a joke site or whatever
The same is true of television, radio, the street, pretty much anything that pop culture touches - unless you somehow consider 5 minutes of Britney Spears writhing around like a bitch in heat as "non-sexual" because she manages to keep her nipples covered.
Maybe instead of this, they should concentrate on making a suspend/hibernate that works.
That's one of the main reasons I use a Mac laptop as my main computer -- the sleep mode is fantastic.
Oh, I agree completely - I have an iBook and it's uptime can run into months for that exact reason. But there are lots of PC users out there, and I suspect many of them haven't even thought of this as a solution, Windows suspend is that flaky.
Even with a fast 2 gig PC its hard to convince the family to use the contacts database instead of the paper version- takes too long to boot, logon, load the app
The article says this is for a notebook computer.

Notice that the KDE camp are humming along quite happily with qt and C++. Everyone clamouring for Mono seems to come from the "just C thanks" GNOME community.
Wow, they were not lying about this one. There's a company called Proxyconn that promises DSL speed over a 56k dialup line. AND IT WORKS!! I downloaded and installed the software expecting the usual lackluster performance and a quick uninstall immediately following my test....but wow am I impressed!
In the status bar area is a Proxyconn icon that will tell you the effective speed you're getting - right this second, mine is saying "broadband". Heh. Usually it says 150k or more. You simply must see this to believe it - in fact, if you already have DSL, try Proxyconn for Broadband so you can surf the net at T1 speeds!
Another great feature of Proxyconn is that it totally kills all bannerads and popups before they ever get to your computer. The way Proxyconn works is that your computer is constantly logged into their servers and when you send any HTTP requests, it will send it your way extremely compressed and faster than just going over the net normally. Their site explains all the technical details of how they achieve this amazing speed so I won't go into it here suffice to say that the speed is REAL.
Oh, and Proxyconn also speeds up your EMAIL! You just have to try this to believe it.
From what people (Palmsource themselves regarding the application certification program, and Palmgear regarding distribution) are saying at the conference, the move will be towards saying that applications are compatible with specific devices. There are so many devices out there that a list of compatible devices would be unfeasible. It sounds like Palmgear's approach will be for users to register with Palmgear, and say "I own this device." Then Palmgear will filter the apps shown on their site to only those compatible with the user's device.
I spoke to one of the Palm engineers last night at the conference.
All of the development with regards to Hotsync, the Conduit Dev Kit and Palm Desktop has been happening on the PC only. They haven't ruled out getting it working on the Mac at some point in the future, and it sounds like the engineers want to do it, but there's no timeframe for this to happen.
It's a similar story with their development tools - they have PalmOS 6 (Cobalt) dev stuff happening on the Mac, and apparantly half the engineers at the company with laptops have a Mac, but they're not complete, tested and ready for release like the Windows tools are.
ICANN has _nothing_ to do with what particular machines are able to serve. It's jurisdiction ends at what IP addresses a machine has, and the DNS.
Seems we're once again dealing with political forces who simply don't understand that by design, that level of control over the internet simply does not exist.
Going back on-topic, this Qt/Mac port of Konqueror likewise eschews native widgets for the entirely out-of-place Qt look.
While I can't say for sure, I'm guessing the ugly looking toolbars and status bars are actually KDE widgets, rather than widgets from Qt itself. On OS X, Qt uses the Aqua theming engine to draw widgets, so they're not Cocoa/Carbon widgets but they look just like them. They certainly don't look like this Konqueror port's UI.
Is a cgi woman doing sexy things to herself for the entertainment of others still exploitation of women, when no specific woman is being exploited?
Down this path are all sorts of questions...
Of which probably the most interesting, and the one about to become hotly debated, is: Is a cgi child doing sexy things to itself for the entertainment of others still utterly wrong, when no actual child was involved in the production of the `child porn'?
I develop on QT. My company has a commercial QT license, and we distribute an application on Win32 using QT.
Qt is not supported by Microsoft. Qt is not supported by Windows. Windows doesn't come with Qt.
This doesn't stop us from putting a Qt-based application on the Windows desktop, and UserLinux's choice of GNOME won't stop anyone from putting a Qt-based application on UserLinux.

In Western Australia, the state-run cemetaries board webcasts funerals.
I think you meant to put it in patent-speak:
I propose we set aside a location on the system to hold subdirectories each dedicated to a single software package. Let's call it /opt.
If you're using Windows, you're obviously willing to pay for commercial software. Why are you willing to give money to Microsoft, but not Trolltech?

Following the release of Safari, MS dropped support for IE on Mac, directly citing the existence of Safari as the reason.
Apple need Microsoft Office, so I can't see them daring to touch an actually competitive office suite.

Think about the resources it would take to make something this popular downloadable that quickly for everyone that wanted it.
It'd be expensive. More expensive than just hosting a tracker.
