should I be entitled to a refund for the unused copy of Adobe Photo Deluxe that came with my printer (assuming that the license agreement is similar to that of Microsoft Windows and has a clause that I don't agree to)?
My roommate just got a powerbook g4. They are shipping them with OS9 and OS10.1 installed, but you get the upgrade discs for 10.2. Just gotta do it yourself:)
Actually, that entry in the Add/Remove Programs is kind of misleading. All it does is remove the shortcuts to IE from your Start menu/Quicklaunch bar/desktop/whatever. The program itself and all associated DLL's continue to sit happily on your hard drive.
Actually, you should have said "be an idiot and have anyone and everyone looking at your data and passwords as they are sent over the network in plain text: Telnet."
I realize that, but the sentence "Although they're supposed to compete with Intel's Itanium chips, they only run at 900MHz" implies that the Itanium runs faster than 900mhz... that is what i was referring to. I didn't really get the point of that sentence since they are both 64-bit chips, and if anything, the Sparc should be faster clock-for-clock than the Itanium.
Using MS Windows2006 XP SE Ultra Ass Whooping Edition:
*attempt to install GCC 6.0*
"Error: You are attempting to install Potentially Viral Software (PVS)(tm). Please call Microsoft at 1-800-WE-H8-GPL to explain yourself or Windows will be deactivated on next restart."
Of course, this begs the question, why would I be using GCC on a windows system in the first place... ?;)
I have set up a petition against the RIAA, please sign it if you don't want stuff like price fixing to go on in the future... (and no, I don't make any money off the site).
Thanks! -colin
I say everyone go to the site and buy the tee-shirt and wear it as often as possible... they can have mine back when they pry it off my cold, dead body;) -colin
Anyone know of any way to get this to work with a PC? It's USB, so i'm sure it's possible... I don't have enough money to get a full Mac system right now so I'm gonna start with the mouse;) -colin
If you had an NES or SNES cart with enough flash memory, imagine being able to make a cart with your 3 or 4 favorite games on it, and being able to change it whenever you want.... *drools* -colin
I have setup a page in protest of the RIAA at www.riaaboycott.org please visit the site and if you agree with what's there, sign the petiton! Oh, and I'm not making any money off this or anything (actually I'm spending $15 a month), I'm just trying to get something done instead of bitching for a change. Thanks:) -colin
Cool, thanks, I wish I was more up to date on Mac hardware/software like I used to be. Actually, I'm an advocate of the "multiple virtual terminals in a graphical interface" way of doing things, in my original post I was just trying to say that having a command line only option would please the OTHER people out there who insist on not having the Aqua/X/whatever graphical interface. -colin
Last I heard, Apple was still planning to include some sort of command line interface for "Advanced Users" if they wanted to install it. How hard would it be to set up an option in the installer for "command line only"? They already have Darwin, which is command-line only, so apparently it's possible to separate the Aqua prettiness from the command line. I think if they offered this option it would please a lot of the server admins out there and would increase OSX's viability as a server platform. -colin
Anyone know if the SLS distro Ian mentioned still floating around somewhere? I haven't heard of it and it would be interesting to see how distros have improved and changed since 1993. -colin
Well, there were about 100,000 testers in the stress test, and as far as I know none of them figured out how to cheat... I'd say this game is fairly cheat-proof if you ask me. All your character info is stored server-side rather than client-side, so it's not a matter of "decode the file format then hack your char to your heart's content" like in Diablo 1.
Hmm, seems to me with a device the size of a home stereo component, you could put a full 3.5in HD in it to store the MP3's on.... imagine the possibilities: 75gigs of home stereo MP3 storage... *drool*
Slashdot: Given that Amiga's original big sell was stereo sound and multimedia capabilities, how do you feel about BeOS?
Wayne: Nice try, but no cigar. Be had a good idea, they wanted to make a media OS. It's obviously a hybrid between MacOS and AmigaOS. When it was there and ready, nobody came. It's a bit of a pity really, because it's not a bad OS at all. But if they can pull their act together, well, good on them, but I don't really see that happening too soon.
Agreed. I have used BeOS off and on for about a year now, and the OS is wonderful, but the lack of those "killer apps" is what keeps me from using it regularly. Amiga needs to consider this and learn from Be's mistakes in order to thrive in the market.

I thought Itanium ran at 800mhz max....
