I'm having three separate problems with my newish mirrored dual 1GHz.
First of all, yes, it's too loud when running "normally."
Then sometimes, when I turn it on, it will get even *louder*, really like a vacuum, super loud.
Other times when I push the power button to turn it on, the fan will come on, but the HDD will not spin up. Then I have to hold the power button to shut the machine off, and the next time I turn it on it will boot up OK. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
I had called Apple and was planning to take it in for service, now I'm wondering if the replacement power supply might fix all of these problems.
Yes, Microsoft rarely gets a product right on the first try, but look at the difference between win 98 and win 2000. Two years can make a big difference.
What? Sorry...but Win2k is an incremental improvement on NT4, not on Win98. I don't think your "two years" comment makes any sense in the context of Win9x vs WinNT.
If anything, in two years, Microsoft learned that it would be more of a bang to name it Windows 2000 than Windows NT 5.0...
I'm not totally disagreeing with you, but it is possible that some of those DLL's are already loaded by the OS. Just because you see them being loaded by your app in the debugger doesn't necessarily mean that an entirely new image is being brought into memory.
:-( Netscape 3.04 doesn't work on MSN (from WinNT4). I'm crying.

GPS Drawings

Of course a business application of this sort of thing is like the project I used to work on for a major ag equipment company. GPS is put on a combine or tractor, along with other sensors, and then the location data is correlated with other data, like yield or moisture, which is collected every second. Nice maps can be drawn to give information about what's happening on a farmer's field. And it can help to make decisions about how or what to plant next year.
I'll tell you, it doesn't make me want to ever work in a tall building. I guess I don't know what other option you have in a place like Manhattan, Tokyo, wherever; but people may in the future opt for spread-out, flat buildings, with horizontal people movers. Maybe.
I've searched the Open Group website and also their UNIX® site, and I can't find anything about Mac OS X being certified. I can't find any references to Darwin. Where is this certification referenced?
a lot of folks are going to grab the 13 meg quicktime file?
Probably mostly because the.mov is the very first link in the page. If it's truly the "preferred format," why did he entice the average reader with this heavy link right up front?

if the PS6 requires HDTV too then I might be out of luck.
And well it might, since some line-doubling causes video games to look horrible on HDTV sets.
So it's really true that you can't duplicate this disc using a writer technology like that produced by Rimage? We have some of these writer towers where I work, and I might try to copy it, if I knew which disc to try. Their writers seem to happily duplicate anything I've thrown at them.
Of course I have only copied CD's that I actually own.
It'll nice to see if the/. effect can also have the effect of getting this project done before time runs out
What are the chances that the/. effect will cause anything to happen sooner rather than later? Has it ever been anything but destructive, merely bringing web sites to their knees?
Yeah, recently I did some development for a WinCE platform, and was really relieved to find that everything is built in Unicode. It makes some tasks much easier when you don't have to think at all about character conversions.
So is there a command-line shell for OS X that will show you Japanese filenames? Does KTerm or something similar do this? Has anyone built it on OS X? Sorry, I just don't have the time to try any of this on my own boxen.
If that's true, then how is it that I was able to throw out KanjiKIT on my wife's Win95 machine? Well, Microsoft Word & Outlook 2000 work quite well with MS' integrated IME for Japanese. And IE 5 works fine, too. She needs no "third-party-hacks." Now if you want to save with Japanese filenames, that's another story. But I don't know how to do that in *NIX, either.
Please clarify.
I would have to say that the Macintosh has this down quite well (and has for some time). My brother-in-law has a fully functioning bilingual (English/Japanese) system on his (MacOS 9) PowerBook. [Hm. I wonder what Japanese filenames look like on the command line of OS X?]
My biggest problem with GnuPG/PGP is using it with Mutt, my mailer of choice.
Mutt sends nice, new PGP/MIME messages. The friend with whom I communicate the most via GnuPG/PGP uses Outlook, which has no PGP/MIME support. So all of my messages to him are difficult to handle in Outlook, and all of his messages to me are a pain to decrypt in Mutt.
*sigh* When will we all be using a modern standard? There's just no chance that he'll switch to Eudora.

Common sense does not make right and wrong! :-)
Yes, yes, YES! for versionable/branchable directories.
I use ClearCase on projects at my job; and although it took a bit of getting used to, I do now think it is great and very powerful.
Question: is there a good site on the web that compares/contrasts the features of different source code control systems?

And even though they say they'd gladly replace AIX with Linux, if they did dump a hundred developers into Linux:
would they really allow whatever proprietary optimizations they've got in AIX out into the public eye of open source?
- You can watch the movies on your big TV while sitting on your couch (not on your computer screen while sitting in your office).
- The movies can be accessed from a typical stereo component.
- This component could plug right into your LAN or cable modem.
This is what might make it popular for the typical consumer, I mean.Sounds like M$ is trying to improve the perceived reliability of their OS by taking bad drivers out of the picture.
Is it true that most reliability problems in NT, for instance, are due to device drivers (and not the core OS)?

You have got to be kidding me. Have you ever used Blender? You know you can do Python scripting in Blender, if you want to do scripting?
