Goddamn rite! I love my powerbase! Easily upgraded to a 360 g3 and so cute. I even overclocked the main bus. 1 ide channel is its only fault. Other than that it is sweet!
Mac's come with a single button, but you can buy a different mouse! FACT: Mac OS X recognizes and works correctly with third party mice's scroll wheel and extra buttons. Without any extra drivers.
I know with a portable it's different, but the trackpad is so close to the keys that you are never gonna not be able to reach the contextual menu button that emulates a 2nd mouse button.
Let's just get on with life. OK? This whole mouse button debate is really getting redundant.
2 years ago would this headline have mentioned macs? I don't think so.
The upcoming launch of a Unix based Mac OS has fostered a deepening relationship between Linux users and Mac users. Before all we had in common was a distrust of Microsoft's hegemony. Now we have a operating system in common. With the combined communities of Mac and Linux we are unbeatable.
I want welcome our Mac brothers into Unix family of the new 21st Century. United we stand.
Here use the superclock as your example. In ages past there was a CDEV by Steve Christensen called "SuperClock" which did one thing: Put a clock in the menubar. It was so popular that
Apple bought all rights to it, and now it's a standard part of the System.
"WindowShade" has much the same story.
Original release from apple note last line! What could it mean??? Oh im so excited my nipples are hardening.
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of Darwin 1.2.1, which is synchronized with the version used in Mac OS X Public Beta. A binary installer is downloadable from http://www.opensource.apple.com/projects/darwin, and is built using the same sources that have been available in CVS since the Public Beta release. We are looking to the community to create CD-based distributions if there is a demand for this.
This release includes support for new Mac hardware, including SMP machines. It has also been compiled fat for use with Intel machines, but currently there is no Intel installer.
Rumor that this tech went into crusoe chip. Here is an excerpt from this website.
February 25, 1999, Moscow, Russia -- Today Elbrus International, a Russian microprocessor design company, disclosed the details of its revolutionary new microprocessor to the Russian press. The new technology promises to redefine the processor performance frontier. The microprocessor, termed E2k, will function 3 to 5 times more quickly than Merced, the next-generation Intel chip, while still running all legacy software. The E2K project represents the latest commercial endeavor of the former Soviet Union's most talented computer scientists, many of whom have designed and delivered three generations of supercomputers, including those running the Russian Space Mission Control and the Russian Missile Defense System.
I think it would be cool if this was real. Hmmm, a new processor maybe for macs? Sweet!
Fuck bush, fuck gore. Well, the greater of two evils has won tonite. Thanks to the fucked up 2 party system. Yeah! I think something was accomplished tonite. I spoke to my father 2 days ago when I told him I was voting for Ralph, he predicted Gore's loss because of Ralph. I told him that it would be a wake up call for the stupid fucking conservative facist democrats. They will no longer be able to say, "Hey, we are pretty fucking conservative nazi bastards, but don't vote for the republicans because they are bigger conservative nazi bastards!" FUCK THAT!
Now, we have a retard president elected by a bunch of fucking hillbillies in the retard hick midwest states. The fucking heartland, lots of fucking heart no fucking brain. YEAH! I love having idiots elect dumb people who have good personalites. Now my commander in chief who can send me to die with a nodding smirk. Bush is a fucking loser dumbfuck who is only in the spot he is now via intense NEPOTISM and FUCKING CASH coming out of his ass. He had his servants do his school for him and his fucking daddies friends get him kickass oil jobs, where he can make a killing in a fucking dead oil economy. YEAH!!! I hope he gets shot! YEAH!!! I could be arrested for saying that!!! YEAH!!! SEIG HEIL BUSH!!!!!! FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
We real americans in the cities on the coasts are held hostage by stupid poor gun toting hillbillies who are so god damn fucking idiotic fucks that they vote for goddamn nazi bastards who will rob them of what little goddamn money they have and give it all to the fucking filthy rich who will finance some shiney new commercials to make more hillbillies vote for more stupid rich fucks!!!!! ITS A VICIOUS CYCLE!!!!! BREAK THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM BY FORCE!!!!!!!
I have always admired Apple products, but, I have made a decision to support free software so it is just not for me.
So how do you support free software? You contribute? If not, you evangelize it? What if you could do neither? What if you were handicapped (you couldn't code and couldn't evangelize) and all you had was money would you donate? Non-free software is simpler in that respect. To support it - just buy it.
Well, Mr. AC. The speech is clearly a informative speech, not a persuasive speech. I clearly illustrate the pro's and the con's of OSS. If you had read it you would know.
I see both sides of the issue. IMHO whether or not OS is right for a project depends on a number of different varibles.
However, it is hard to predict which project is which, and like pyscho-history the acts of an individual can skew predictions. In other words you never know til you try.
Here's the outline, it's open source too. Email me any bug fixes or code improvement.;-D Enjoy and thanks!

Outline for Informative Speech
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the Open Source Software (OSS)
movement or Open Source Initiative (OSI)
I. Introduction
A. Attention getter:
1. Car/Software analogy.
a. Wouldn't it be nice not to have to pay for software?
2. Brief explanation of open source software
a. You use software everyday, but what if you could
change it suit your needs.
b. That's what open source software allows you to do.
B. Motivation to listen: The OSS movement is growing and may directly
influence you eventually.
C. Right to inform: I'm an Information Technology Specialist in the Air
Force etc...
D. Preview of main points:
1. Definitions and explanation of Open Source Software
2. Pro's and Con's of OSS
3. Various OSS projects and the future.
II. Body
A. Definitions and explanation of how software works.
1. Software/Book analogy
a. Software is like a book, but unlike a novel you read
once and put on a shelf you use software everyday.
b. Software can be edited like a book too. It can be
improved and modified.
c. Unlike most products the cost of copying software is
negligible.
d. War and Peace analogy.
2. Explain reuse and modification of source code.
a. Reuse of source code allows the best part of a software
program to be duplicated into another program. For
example a great menu or button can be copied and used
over and over.
3. Why you can't modify normal software.
a. When Software is written it is in a format that is called
source code. It is the only software format that is
readable by humans.
b. Regular software that you, the end-user buy comes in
machine language format.
c. The consequence of this is that it basically makes a
program impossible to modify or improve if you don't
have the source code. Because no one but a computer
can read machine language.
4. Define Open Source Software
a. It is software that is published in source code format.
b. Licensing agreements allow you to do anything but you
can't patent it.
c. Make multiple copies etc...
d. Two types of freedom. Free speech vs. Free Beer
e. Bazaar and Cathedral concept
5. Define Regular software
a. Restrictive licensing
b. The software costs money.
c. Only a machine language version of the software is
included. There's no source code.
B. Pro's and Con's of the OSI, Star Office and the future.
1. Con's
a. The major con of the open source movement is that it is
unorganized. Explain modern software development. .
b. Open source licenses don't allow you to patent what
you create.
c. Some programs are too large and complex to be created
under open source. These include 3D modeling
programs, CAD, and speech recognition software.
d. Programs, which interact with hardware, like drivers,
don't open source easily as the specs to hardware are
usually a company secret.
e. Companies scared by the idea of it because they are
scared that they will be left behind or they will lose
money if they do try it.
f. To many people using it and not enough contributors.
g. Some types of software that appeal to a limited amount
of people may not be developed under OSS.
h. Some software has widespread but ephemeral appeal.
Like games like Rainbow Six, and Unreal Tournament.
Since OSS is slower at creating and mainly works by
modifying established software once an OSS project
duplicates UT it would be passé.
2. Pro's
a. Harness's the mental power of thousands of individuals
in different countries all over the world.
b. It allows a lot of peer reviews of code so any bugs or
optimizations can be removed or added.
c. Profit made mostly by manuals and support.
d. Open source software powers the Internet already,
example are TCP/IP and http.
e. In October of 1998 Microsoft released a white paper on
the growing threat of the OSS movement.
f. "The ability of the O.S.S. process to collect and harness
the collective I.Q. of thousands of individuals across the
Internet is simply amazing," the memo states. "More
importantly, O.S.S. evangelization scales with the size
of the Internet much faster than our own evangelization
efforts appear to scale."
g. It's free.
C. Major OSS projects -OSS is real, here are some.
1. On 22 Jan. 1998 Netscape having lost the browser wars released
the source to Netscape Navigator.
a. This is the first shot in the modern open source
revolution.
b. Mozilla is the name of the browser that has developed
since 1998. It's available free online.
c. This gives rise to the "open source" naming convention
2. October 13, 2000 SUN Microsystems released the source code to
Star Office.
a. Explain SO.
b. Explain how this could start a revolution.
III. Conclusion
A. Review of main points
1. Definitions and explanation of Open Source Software
2. Pro's and Con's of OSS
3. Various OSS projects and the future.
B. The future of OSS and my estimation of it.
1. Potential is there, what happens is a guess.
I'm taking speech in college MSU and I just gave a speech on OSS. Audience seems very bored by the subject. Would love to give it again to an audience that would care to listen.
I'm up here in Minot, ND let me know if interested!:-)
I tried printing in dp4 to my usb laser printer a brother HL1240. Mac OS X recognized the printer and even named it correctly. But when I printed it spat out like 50 pages of gibberish. I know NeXT used to send postscript to printers, and my printer doesn't use postscript so I thought OS X may do the same, but since it uses pdf i doubt it.
Oh and lpr doesn't work in darwin, but i didn't know how to config it either.

Goddamn rite! I love my powerbase! Easily upgraded to a 360 g3 and so cute. I even overclocked the main bus. 1 ide channel is its only fault. Other than that it is sweet!
With all the apple info on slashdot lately I thought some of you geeks would want to be more 'in the know' about mac stuff.
Macsurfer kicks ass.

Unix and the variants that it entails hold common charactoristics that bind all of them together.
Surely you would admit they have more in common than in difference.
Mac's come with a single button, but you can buy a different mouse! FACT: Mac OS X recognizes and works correctly with third party mice's scroll wheel and extra buttons. Without any extra drivers. I know with a portable it's different, but the trackpad is so close to the keys that you are never gonna not be able to reach the contextual menu button that emulates a 2nd mouse button.

is that legal?

Hehehe, funny shit.
thanx mike!
We need more liberals who walk with a swagger, carry a knife and aren't afraid to look a dumb redneck facist in the eye and spit.
Fuck bush, fuck gore. Well, the greater of two evils has won tonite. Thanks to the fucked up 2 party system. Yeah! I think something was accomplished tonite.

I'll just sit here awaiting arrest.
We need some of that fiber here in north dakota, come'on we're basically southern canada anyway... Rest of the US doesn't even know we're here :(
Good post

Or in Apple's case just click once ;-)
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! :-)
Well since i stated i was in minot you could assume i meant minot state university.
I see both sides of the issue. IMHO whether or not OS is right for a project depends on a number of different varibles.
