  1. Re:Save your time on Beige G3 Resurrection Project · · Score: 1

    I agree completly. I am currently running OSX on a G3/350 B&W, 512mb, and it is simply awful. Keep in mind, my computer is at least two, maybe three revisions after yours. I have enough ram that I never swap, the bottleneck is processor/bus and video card. I rarely do taxing photoshop-type work like you. Just running itunes, safari, adium, mail, bbedit is enough to make me jump out of a window. Luckily, in the fall, I should have a 15", as soon as they are released. muahaha

  3. Re:Computer in the dash... on In-Dash DIN-form-factor Car PC · · Score: 2, Interesting

    every car I've owned only had room for one DIN device
    A double-din opening is more common that you think. Most imported cars actually have a double din opening. Mazda, Honda, Nissan, Toyota(i think). Thats what that silly little pocket underneath your stereo is. Most American cars have a 1 or 1.5 din sized stereo, but you could always mount it under the seat.

  6. Re:So on Porting Unix Command-Line Tools to Mac OS X · · Score: 2, Insightful

    besides, its not like its that hard to install fink, considering the level of user that is going to miss the additional utilities. Sheesh, if Apple had included everything out of the box, people would be complaining that apple forced one set of tools on their users

  8. Re:How much faster? on Land Speed Record Broken: 0-6,400 in Six Seconds · · Score: 1

    Its too bad the economy's down. Otherwise, they could also go for such high-money performance mods like green neons all over, a big japanese character painted into the tint on the back of the sled, and clear taillights

    Sony is different. Apple controls servers, desktops. music players, and the OS to run on all of them. SOny only controls desktops and music players.

  12. Re:What about the Clie? on Sony Adds New Copyright Method to CDs in 2003 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    you joke, but it pretty much isnt the same sony. A corporation of this size has so many divisions that each has no clue what the others are doing.

  19. Re:Will it have DRM built-in? on Apple and IBM Working Together on 64-bit CPUs · · Score: 1

    keep in mind that Microsoft's Macintosh buisness unit is very seperated from the PC unit. that's the reason Entourage, Outlook for MacOS (made by the PC Exchange group), and Outlook Express for Windows all store mail in different formats.

    I am running a rev 2 B&W G3 with great DVD support in 10.1.5. I seriously doubt that apple would take that ability out to force us to upgrade our machine. I believe what those reports refered to was older machines with hardware dvd drives, like the early G3 powerbooks.
