Prove that 1 + 1 = 2... HA! I defy that 1 + 1 = 2, because you can't prove it!
Guess what? The whole world is based on axioms, and for me, one axiom in my life is "God exists." And that's what I stand by. I need no proof of his existance, because no evidence points either way, so I take it on personal faith that he exists.
There is an open architecture for the PPC, that IBM layed out, and that many companies have used. (Including such a name as Amiga)
The problem is that these are likely not supported by OSX, or OS9.
*shrug* It'd still be nice if the geeks of the world could build their own system, I for one don't need to pay a premium on the RAM or HD for my apple system, but when the top end PowerMac comes with a 80GB min. HD size, and 512 MB min RAM?
Good job attacking a person over asking a question. True, I may tell people that their question is stupid, but if they ask them after that: "Why?" I'll respond quite plainly why their question/comment was "stupid" in my opinion. But I will never not answer a question.
I have a 550 PowerBook, and I loved it when I first got it, and to be honest, I don't think I ever noticed how laggy OSX was. Now with Quartz Extreme, things just respond, and move quickly. In fact, things started moving so well, that I dumped Mozilla, because it's interface was lagging (because of the XUL defined interface)
Doing everything with PDF actually is a very good idea, and I'm glad that they have it hardware accelerated now. Scaling is much faster now, and everything.
But, as someone else pointed out. Linux, and X still seems to run faster, which is pretty ridiculous, considering that X is running through a socket, and is naturally indirect. *sigh*
Still, Apple's idea is to advance what you can do with a GUI, and I think this is a positive push forward, and I want to see Apple make things even better!
When Apple moved to OSX, they did a big marketting campaign about "OSX, it's better, cause it has a higher number than 9" Of course Apple isn't going to release Jaguar as OS 11, because they haven't hyped it at all.
When OS11 is slated to come out, there'll be a MacWorld Expo announcing it to the world, and then we'll have to wait a long duration before we actually see it.
crypt() is defined to be the standard to encrypt passwords. What crypt() actually does is dependant on your system. If you want to use MD5 passwords, then crypt will generate MD5 passwords, otherwise, it'll just produce the default encrypt routine that every *nix has used for just about forever.
OSX still tracks all the same information, and you can not use extentions as much as in OS9... thing is though that they have extentions just kinda sit there most of the time. Something nice is that you can actually set all of a specific extention to open with a different application.
Well, considering you can just use "magic" values to locate the type of the data, we shouldn't even need extentions at all. Just name them all blank, and assign their "Open With Application" correctly... Oh... that's right, not everyone uses a Mac...
Ok, Chimera claims the crown on Macs as "the fastest web browser" it renders pages significantly faster than IE, and that ain't no joke! It also bothers to smooth your text fonts, so that it makes pages look REALLY nice.
I actually HATE to look at web pages in anything else, because Chimera makes things look THAT much better... and Chimera does it faster... beats the crap outta me why people can't do the same... oh, yeah, that's why we still have x86... people would rather make what they have work, than switch to something that works better.
In an interview with Maxim, George Lucas said that if he rereleased the old Star Wars trilogy, that it would be just to get it to a new generation. (Meaning: no new footage.)
It just has to be said... with this and GNU/Linux on it... Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these... *laugh* But seriously, think about it $300 per node? Not that bad!
Claymore Mine is a mysnomer. It's detonated by a human controlled accuator, and thus, not a "mine" as defined by the treaty.
But as for using one on the Dragon Runner, unless you'd have a damned good reason (namely, you're going to die if you don't) they probably wouldn't look highly on it, because the claymore has a 16' backwash, that you need to watch out for. That means that it would literally destroy the Dragon Runner that it was mounted on.
The Dragon Runner will be used in reconicense (sp) missions, where the idea is to see something with a unit on the ground... I'd much prefer to roll a little shoe box in there rather than risk my hide on getting seen.
If you pay ~$15,000 to a worker to handle a $1.5B piece of equipment you need to reevaluate your spending priorities
You do realize that the United States military is founded on those spending priorities don't you?
I realize that, but the difference is that they voluntarily signed up to be in that position, and it's extremely difficult to get out. Plus, they engrain in you to follow orders, so you do what you're supposed to do... Speaking as one who spent 2 months getting paid ~$2 an hour (yeah, with about 6 hours a night paid sleep)

I'm with you... just let me dig out my documents... and... WAIT A SECOND!
Yeah, that's what I said when I saw the link. I know Matt Michie (he's a good friend of mine) and he's been talking on this review for almost a week. So when I saw "Roblimo" on the slashdot page, I was mad. Can someone get an update on the headlines?
Who pays attention to things? Calling for violent overthrow of the government is sedition... there are no if ands or buts about it... It's there on the books, it's one of the first laws that was put in place (next to treason, which is in the Constitution, you should try reading it sometime) Quite literally, he trapped himself. "... but calling for the violent overthrow of the Constitution... they have a problem" Er... yeah, because it's sedition, and it's against the law!
Yeah, you'd figure. I talk to people and they're like "Well, why aren't there Linux only games?" And I respond that there are Terminus, and Parsec (amoung some others) but then I mention that, because Linux programmers write portable code, it turns out that BOTH of these titles are directly available on Mac and Windows both!:P Course the windows world is still in that nice little denial phase where they insist that no one uses anything but Windows, and there's no need to make ANYTHING portable. (Take Roller Coaster Tycoon, which I hear has so much x86 assembly in it that porting to Mac makes it worthless... what a way to write a game... in Assembly...)
You all are idiots... We've not spent $$$ on the OS or anything like that, we can afford to pay for games. And how often have you used a Linux game? huh?! Not that often, because if you had, you'd know that of all the games Loki ported, I only came across Descent3 that requires the CD to play. Yeah, 0 copy-protection, why? Because Linux people don't share their games like Windows folks... it's not in their interest, (more Linux games) so they pay... well, those of us who actually DID buy them... (that or they didn't have them.)
And you want proof? I have friends with >100 burned windows games, and even though they run Linux? they have 0 Linux burns... (and 0 Linux games)
