  1. Re:Fast Ethernet? on World's Fastest Macintosh Cluster · · Score: 1
    I think the reason is that the networking libraries in Mac OS 9 (Open Transport) don't give you the full benefit of Gigabit speed. Only in moving up to Mac OS X would you be able to make full efficient use of this pipe.

    Also, in terms of a ratio, Gigabit costs more per port in comparison with 100BaseT, for the speed benefit it provides.

  2. Re:Au contraire mes amis on Low-Level Radiation May be Mutagenic · · Score: 2
    Low dosages over a longer period of time induce production of more repair enzymes, which repair more mutations after a high dosage.

    A high dosage without "priming" will result in more mutation damage because there isn't enough repair enzyme available to do the work.

    You can't "train" an enzyme to do anything -- they're not dogs!

    Enzymes work on the premise of positive or negative feedback, based on concentration of enzyme and ligands (and other factors, like temperature, salt molarity, etc.).

  3. Re:The first exploit. on Cracking OSX · · Score: 5
    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the latest Open Firmware rev lets you password-lock at the hardware level, so that you have the option of even preventing a single-user boot.

    You know, a lot of this thread really exposes a lot of the ignorance about Mac OS X. Have many of you who post comments actually bothered to install and play with this?
