Would you *really* buy a 1.6Ghz G5 over a dual-core Yonah? Before you answer that, note that my 1.5Ghz G4 PowerBook beats a 1.6Ghz G5 iMac in CPU benchmarks.
Garbage. It will take several years yet for Intel-based Macs to outnumber the (15? 20 million? More?) PPC userbase. I'm buying an iMac in a few months, and I guarantee you it'll last me five years without drama. Five years, in computer terms, is nearly an eternity.
If you're using a Mac, you can easily create an encrypted disk image to protect any files you might store on an iPod. If you're running Windows, I'm sorry.
Nope. You can copy the files, but the iPod won't know what to do with them. It needs a database created for it, which is what iTunes (or another app emulating it) does.
Personally, I just plug my iPod in and iTunes has it synced up in a few seconds. I use my computer to make things easier, not micromanage everything.
...which logically means you have much simpler needs than other people. Nothing wrong with that, just as there's nothing wrong with somebody doing rendering/scientific work to want something better than a P3.
I'm going to be moderated 'obvious' now, aren't I?:(
I can access both my Debian boxes fine from my Mac. Didn't change a thing after a clean install except specify the correct workgroup in the Directory Access app. I'm not even sure if I need to do it or not, but everything works and I'm fine with that.
Have you checked your logs to see why Samba is failing?
Nope, the 30/45Gb models were notoriously flaky as well. All of my DeathStar drives died at around the 3.5 year mark or earlier. My Hitachi notebook drive died at 11 months. I'm using a Toshiba drive in my PowerBook now, and will try Seagate for my desktops.
The problem exists on my install, but I don't use magnification so it doesn't matter. I'm sure the patch will address it, it's been widely reported on forums.
System Requirements for Office 2004 Professional Edition
System Requirements Hardware: 700 MHz native* PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor Operating System: Mac OS X version 10.2.8-10.3; Mac OS X version 10.3 is required for the Power Mac G5 Memory: 512 MB of RAM
If you're happy with WinXP, either don't switch, or get a Mac mini and a KVM switch to experiment with OS X. Reasons for doing so? Well, you haven't stated what you DO with your PC, but Macs are great for development, graphics, audio, net tasks, pretty much everything except extreme high-end gaming.. which the PC can do.
I only use my PC for a couple of non-Mac-compatible games now, the Mac does the rest.
You're wrong. CoreImage will use a capable GPU if you have one, otherwise it will run on the CPU. Same deal if you're running a firebreathing dual-G5 with an FX5200 graphics card - Core Image will take the fastest route to getting the job done.
That's fine for you, but none of the money you give to allofmp3.com gets back to the artist. From my moral standpoint you might as well steal it. I'd rather pay for a CD and know at least a tiny proportion of the money I'm paying is going to the creator of the work. That said, I don't listen to recent major-label music - they haven't released anything I've been interested in for around 10 years.
Yep, OS X is a dog on the 700Mhz/256Mb eMac at work, but lovely on my 1.5Ghz/1Gb PowerBook. Must be down to user expectations. I couldn't use a 256Mb machine for any serious work.
It's nothing to do with the bitstream that you listen to as an end-user. Having more bits allows for greater headroom while mixing. Most software has 32-bit precision, Apple improves on this. This is a big deal for film mixing and sound design.

These low-power G5s are worthless for Apple.

And it was an SUV, which (being higher off the ground) makes it harder to see what the occupant is doing. Let's outlaw SUVs also.
Agreed, LUGRadio is superb. :)
I think, deep down, you realise that your 'argument' is retarded. Right? I'm sure actors don't own televisions either.

No display != no interface.
Even if it did exist, it's not as good as what's on Intel's roadmap and there's no guarantee Apple could get it in quantity.
She's always been that bad a presenter.
Just corrupt some system files, you'll have rough edges a-plenty.
Oh Christ, you can't be serious.

Seagate just announced a 100Gb 7200RPM model which looks very nice.
'Familiar' and 'intuitive' are not the same thing.

Parental controls, the licensed Oxford Dictionary, Voice Over, Core Data, GCC 4.0, updated OpenGL and 64-bit support, for a start.
