The major point in their "no patent" article seems to be that the USPTO is mismanaged. While it is, this isn't an argument against implementing software patents with a shorter expiration and better examination. I don't get the references to music either; it's completely different from software. There isn't anything you can reverse-engineer in music and reuse in your own songs without sounding like a ripoff.
AltiVec emulation would barely speed it up at all.
It would give exactly NO speed increase in the generic core, since interpreting the vector instructions in the scalar units is just about the same as interpreting the scalar instructions.
In the x86 JIT, it would have to emulate the permute unit (which is used very heavily in a lot of Altivec code) as well as some other features missing from x86 SIMD.
I should think that writing an article announcing his plans to defraud their good faith policy would remove any deniability he has with the ISP itself.
No, it's an HFSX filesystem. This can be already created in 10.3; it's the Case-Sensitive Mac OS Extended (newfs_hfs -s).
There's an Apple technote about some of the new features that aren't implemented yet, but I don't know the number.
Laws are there to allow determination of whether someone is being moral, and because it's very unlikely that someone who has violated the laws is smart enough to avoid capture. Also, that doesn't consider immoral people in the justice system; if there were no impartial rules, they could count anything as punishable (such as in Christianity where God is supposed to be absolutely moral and can validly punish anyone for anything).
How about "people who can't keep track of GNOME's thirty zillion dependencies, some of which have weird outdated versions of libtool and some of which don't use libtool at all"?
It doesn't use the DCT. It uses a different 4x4 transform which is purely integer (so you don't get the rounding errors that prevent Qpel interoperability).
It does still have the problem of causing blocking artifacts, but it has a deblocking filter embedded inside the codec to make it look better (and all the motion residuals are calculated against the deblocked version).

The 2.5 GHz G5 is a 970FX.
MenuTunes also allows you to remote-control iTunes. As for whether or not it will be extended to support AirTunes, I am unable to say.
AAC has also had years of research since MPEG-1, but it is designed to be faster to decode than MP3.
If BT ever blocks anyone improperly they'd get rich from suing for libel, since BT would be claiming they were a child porn site.
ANY program in OS X can do this. You would have to remove Mach from the kernel to disable it.
Rosyna Keller is a man.

1/40 speed is with the x86 JIT. The generic core is 1/500 speed.

hey guys i took the slashdot logo and fiestad it lol
Probably. Lots of people seem to like to post stupid shit about GNAA here.
Thank you Slashdot for ruining the proud sport of trolling.
sup pipebomb :coal:
Does Slashdot have a defined character set? If not, kanji wouldn't work.
?????
That's what happens when I type Japanese.
You're hoping it will happen? Get that paranoia checked out. (PS obligatory "well regulated militia")

Since when did we not have software patents? Look at mpegla.com sometime.
Then deauthorize your PCs before selling them. (It's 5 as of iTunes 4.5, not 3)
That's because he just copied the QuickTime binary into it (this is the same reason it has "3ivx support").

DVDs can be purchased without a DVD player. However, it's impossible to purchase an iTMS FairPlayed song without having iTunes installed.
Well, they give several of the developers a job. I think that should count :)

The Finder is PowerPlant, which is a C++ wrapper around Carbon.
