Excuse me. POWER3, and RS64II processors are also still sold by IBM last I checked, and are also in the POWER line. The dual core nature of the POWER4 doesn't apply to what makes it POWER.
You are obviously a silly troll, who pretends to know what he's talking about.
How about a 500MHz US-IIe with less cache, on a mainboard with a flakey IDE chipset commonly found in $400 HPs? This is not what I call Sun. It's not even high-throughput. It's high-suck. You sneeze near it and the firmware locks up for a week.
And tell me, given that AIX does not use the extra instructions that seperate a POWER from a 64-bit PowerPC, I suppose you're running OS/400?
It overrides my default font with something they presumably thought was better. Why? Was there any good reason for this? Or was it just another example of CSS overdesign?
I propose we redesign Slashdot in HTML 3.2 - better yet, let's rewrite it for Gopher. At least I could view a Gopher page in my choice of font!
I've tested the Gentoo Live CD, and it appears that this time around they're not lying. There was an initial announcement by a user on their forums a few months ago which was linked from a lot of web sites; this announcement was an obvious lie and Gentoo kept it up on their page rather than lose it and lose all of their publicity.
What other distribution would tolerate this behavior?
CNET again shows how current they are, by referencing the 15GB iPod - which was discontinued last revision! Why do idiots always insist on comparing the latest PC gadgets with Apple gadgets from two revisions behind?
Please don't confuse Proclus's trolling with Darwin, which is a fine operating system put out by a lot of good people at Apple, including Jordan Hubbard. Instead go to the OpenDarwin web site, with people who are actually interested in improving the technology. The only reason GNU-Darwin offers bootable CDs is that an OpenDarwin team member mistakenly told him how to build a CD without linking to the Apple proprietary components; the OpenDarwin release ISOs do this as well.
GNU-Darwin also has a spotty history with replacing libraries with broken versions, installing stuff in/usr and/usr/local, and generally making a mess of the system. Please do not attempt to run GNU-Darwin and ask for support from the real Darwin folks; they will turn up their noses at you.
Pay no mind to Proclus's trolling. I'm just dismayed it ended up on Slashdot.
Actually what would probably work best is a PowerPC PDA using OpenMCL, a Common Lisp that's optimized for space (4M, depending on the version). Add to this a small X server and a small CLX-based toolkit and you've got the makings of a fine PDA.

Have you taken the Road to Lisp Survey?
Do you know about CLiki?
Have you ever been to #lisp on freenode?
Here's a question. If you have a project with, say, patches received from fifty or so patch authors, how do you do this? You'd have to come to an agreement with all of them. This option works on small projects (and iTerm might be one, who knows), but once you get non-trivial third party contribution, it breaks down.
Safari's SSL performance is directly tied to OpenSSL, which it uses. If Safari was to use Mozilla's SSL engine, it would be just as fast. Alternatively, Apple could put some work into optimizing OpenSSL
Either run it as emacs -nw or move that emacs aside. The actual carbon emacs is built in the "mac" subdirectory of the source tree and contains an Emacs.app application.
Unsanity's haxies do/not/ affect anything like this. If you update your version of APE and of the haxies, you will have no issues. They do not install kexts, like Ambrosia's WireTap, nor do they spew other software around the filesystem.
There is a much better Carbon version, and instructions on building it from CVS (don't worry, it's quite stable) are at http://members.shaw.ca/akochoi-emacs/, including the one-line Panther fix. I've been running it through the seed cycle and haven't had a problem.
The difference is that you can't accommodate a variable number of arguments without some form of delimiter, and for a programming language like Lisp, it makes sense to allow this. I speak Lisp for programming and RPN for calculating, and they both make sense.
Microsoft today warned users of the danger of OSDN's Slashdot service, saying it was a single source for dup articles that would never satisfy the needs of Windows users. "Our users are accustomed to reading their dups from a variety of MSNBC and Slate-carrying services, but Slashdot is a single source for its own dups," claimed Microsoft CEO Steve Monkeyballs.
Analysts noted that Slashdot, despite obtaining over 1 million page views in its first week, will have a hard time with the Windows market. "We believe that an open system like Microsoft's is the way to go," claimed the Garter Belt Group.
What's sad is that everyone who did get the joke is now moderated to -1.
If you still don't get it, then please, go learn some physics - especially before discussing on a science piece, as long as you don't like to look dumb.
I think that this famous article from 1991 explains quite well why Open Source and UNIX have been so successful over the past twenty years. It's not about technical superiority at all - it's rather about an approach called "worse is better", which Richard Gabriel contrasts against the Lisp approach. Favoring small, fast, and fragile systems lead C and UNIX to their success, and Lisp seems to attract only a fraction of the attention.
Well worth the read, even if you aren't familiar with / think you don't like Lisp. There's another page with links to followups too.
OS X does use extensions as its preferred method of file association, just as Windows does. However, this can be overridden on a per-file basis with metadata.

Do you have a source or two for that number in your sig? I'd be very interested in seeing it.
Thanks in advance!

Dude, you run a porn aggregating site. You have a serious credibility problem on this subject.
This is a big, clickable link to slashdot SCO's servers!
Are we talking about the same company that wanted $6000 for a 400MHz 604e until recently?
