Color gamut refers to the range of possible colors available in a given colorspace. There are colors that you can produce using red-green-blue phosphors that cannot be reproduced via cyan-magenta-yellow-black inks on paper (and vice-versa). Photoshop gives you the option of working in various color spaces (RGB, CMYK, HSV, etc.) depending on your eventual output destination. It can optionally warn you, when working in RGB, for example, whether you're using colors that can't be reproduced on paper.
Classic is the emulation layer. Carbon is a tuned API set that shares calls with Classic but drops the deadwood (API's that touch system globals, etc.)
In the sense that apps built against the Carbon API set don't go through any runtime emulation layers, Carbon apps are indeed OS X native.
Came with a fucked up printer and a word processor package that could be toggled so you could use the printer as a typewriter
That printer was amazing. "The sounds of the Industrial Revolution in your very own home."
Seriously, though, the Adam was my First Box (TM) and I remember certain things about it quite fondly. I remember that the BASIC was a clone of Applesoft BASIC (syntax-wise), but of course the hardware was completely different so all of the cool tricks you'd learned on Apple II hardware (PEEKs, POKEs, CALLs, etc) wouldn't work. This annoyed me to no end, so I sent off to some obscure department at Coleco and got a little photocopied set of reference pages that had all manner of cool things, such as machine language routines for playing with the sound chip, twiddling sprites, and the like. Did Coleco ever actually get around to releasing their CP/M / floppy kit?
My understanding is that there is nothing technical preventing antialiasing from working on the PS2, only that the first wave of Japanese games were rushed out so quickly that the developers weren't using anywhere near the full graphical power of the hardware.
Let's not ignore the fact that, in any other situation, etoys is a hero - one of the largest sites on the web running linux/perl/apache and a plethora of other free software tools.
Sorry, that doesn't cut it. By that argument, if you're driving down the freeway and some idiot driving the same model car as you nearly runs you off the road, you should be happy "'cuz at least he's got good taste in cars!"
I shipped my parents' gift via USPS Express Mail Thursday at noon, and they had it in hand by 2PM Friday afternoon (Michigan to Florida.) I know it's fashionable to bash the shipping companies, but in my experience they almost always keep their end of the bargain. Certainly more than I can say for a few vendors (CDNow has been especially bad lately.)
Er... they could write it to the Carbon APIs, which would allow it to run on both MacOS 9.x _and_ OS X client while taking advantage of the fully buzzword-compliant OS X.

What is gamut? Is that related to gamma?

I bet you have the days that Steve Jobs gets his digital colo-rectal inspection on your timeline, too, huh?
No dipshit, I just know how to use a search engine.
here is no room for any form of writeable removable media. (say, a zip or LS-120 drive...)
Unless you happen to be smart enough to know how to use a USB port. This is obviously beyond quite a few Slashdot posters, though.
Apple seemed like they were getting their sh*t together with OS-X. Then they pulled an iMac on us.
Apple announces iMac: May 6, 1998
Apple announces system software strategy (later revised): May 11, 1998
Try again, this time with feeling.
The only problem is that the script would have to sit as an idle background process (no cron on a mac)...
Actually, iDo Script Scheduler is included with
OS 8.1 and above.
There's a MacOS version of cron available here, too.

copy a + b c in DOS..

Switch to the Finder.
Hit command-F.
Drag the folder icon of the directory to be searched into the contents area of the search dialog. Place a checkmark by it.
Select the "Custom" search option, then hit the "Edit..." button
Select "Filename", "Date Modified", and "Size", and fill in the accompanying fields as desired.
Hit the "OK" button.
Wait a second or two.
Do a "select all" in the results window, then hit "command-delete" to place all items in the trashcan.
Sit back and smugly giggle at the people who didn't think you could do that in under 30 seconds.
But, yes, Apple's method should avoid the need
to ever reboot (at the expense of disk space).
That's the beauty of it -- at this point in
computing history, I'd argue that disk space
is far cheaper than time wasted rebooting.

I've heard it mentioned that Neutrino runs on PPC. Is there any posssibility of getting a dsitribution of Free QNX that will run on PowerPC hardware?

Another often overlooked film in the sci-fi "nature of reality" subgenre is Dark City.
I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble convincing anyone who was smart enough to buy AAPL at 13 bucks a share...
I think it's hilarious that Sony had to release a 2nd Playstation with increased horsepower in order to keep up with the latter games being released.
Um, that wouldn't have anything to do with the
original PSX being over 5 years old, would it?

It's funny. My hairline's receding too. Go treat yourself to a Slushy or something.
Exactly. Sony's stock price has gone from ~65 to 270 in the last year (check the chart. Analysts started speculating about a split months ago.
...until you try to cool the mutha.
