Now, all that being said, Do you have an ss5-170? The turbosparc processor in a 170mhz SS5 is only partially supported, only in recent kernels, and is considered unstable. If you have a 170, you may be SOL. But that's just one version of one model of sparc.
That might be this guys problem. I installed SuSE 7.0 sucessfully (boot net via tftp) on a SS5/170 but it wasn't stable.
Lots of memory and disk access introduced memory corruption with kernel 2.2 or 2.4 alike.
Had to install Solaris8 then (with only a bwtwo -- that's fun)
I believe I read that Darwin has already been ported to x86 a couple months or so back, but either way it doesn't matter, Darwin is just another Mach kernel, with a screwy license no less. The "aqua" gui is what they aren't going to port to x86 before hell freezes over.
Hmm, as I understand Aqua is just a "desktop" using Quartz and DisplayPDF to do lowlevel drawing. I would rather doubt that Aqua is written in PPC assembly or using other Mac specific stuff. It might be rather portable once Quartz is ported.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the discovery of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle essentially deal the death blow to scientific determinism, which would render the fallacy a moot point?
Nope. Well, at least not generally. The uncertainty principle only deals with certain cases of properties and the process of measurement.
I cannot measure the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time. This doesn't mean that it doesn't have a position and a momentum.
So, if determinism meant that I actually mesure positions and momenta to calculate future configurations then it is dead.
The more sensible definition of determinism is to only state that the future configuration of all particles is determined by the past configuration alone. (While we are not able to exactly define and measure the configuration.)
Such a definition of determinism is not discounted by the uncertainty principle. The particle wave mechanics is a determinist theory after all although it gets probabilistic at the measurement process.
I think the fellacy is still a fellacy and neither does predetermination demonstrate the absence of free will nor does indeterminism demonstrate the existence of free will. (I mean I wouldn't call it free will if my acts were purely random.)
Can anyone tell me the difference between Oracle8.0.5 "Server" and 8.1.5 "i"? That is other than the buzzwords on Oracles Site.
Does it do anything different or is it just a later version with additional features and all the functionality of the earlier? (Has the same price though.)

I think that's windows only. I don't have a Mac at the moment but my KDE (or any other X application) doesn't do this.
That feature annoys me a lot when working on windows just like the scrollbars popping back if you leave the area to any other side.

After 99 minutes it switches to 1:40 not 1:00!
still not exactly what you would expect...
