well, if you want a faster mac strap a set of Power4s in there and just hope it doesn't melt through the desk:P
i remember a while back some talk about the "G5" on a mac rumour site saying that very soon there would be an Apple designed 64bit SOI PPC chip powering next gen macs, well, the end users place far too much faith in their hardware manufacturers (or god as they call apple) on the Mac side of things.
chances are it wont "include" any compiler, since most mazc users have little/absoloutely no use for one, more likely the developers pack for it will include GCC, i seem to recall reading that some company was working on GCC optimisations for Altivec on G4.
the Linux and win32 builds are supper fast in comparison to the Seamonkey days, and as fast as IE at least, and thats on my Celeron500, even faster of course are Galeon (GTK) and K-Meleon (win32) both based on the same mozilla rendering engine.
so, what does this mean for the other remaining fast-track fileshare copmany Grokster will they be forced to close too, it's very rare for you bump into another grokster user among all those kazaa results anyway.
i mean sure they're oppressed, but c'mon, their helmets are shiny enough, life can't be that bad under lord vaders rule.

but is the Spreadsheet more Excel compatible yet? some of the more usefull features of Excel 2000 weren't availible in 5.2 and aren't availible in Openoffice. the most impressive feature is the ability to manipulate images in the the ways it allows, converting them to 3d or vector images from bitmaps.
but then you probably wouldn't want to bother as the TV series is absoloutely dreadful, the original Radio4 series is the definitive guide in my opoinion, the books are also worth reading, play spot the inconsistencies.
and dont just grab the MP3s, go forth and purchase one of the cassete or CD box sets
but of course most schools would be happier with just a floppy drive, CD-ROM drives have a nasty tendancy to be suitable for placing games on machines.
might even be possible to put FreeDOS and the Seal DOS GUI to use for such systems, although the software to interface with certain bits and pieces would need to be written for it, this would give you a free win9x a like system.
well, hmmm, sure looks like it's just a PC underneath, pentium processor, 30MB of memory, IDE hard disk, in which case it's not exactly anything special. now the Display on a stick on the other hand, that would be cool.
and it is entirely possible to setup such a machine and do real work on, i'm not saying there is anything wrong with mandrake at all, just not as good a way to explore Linux, besides, when the next proper release apears i'd expect it to be able to rival at least red hat 6 in the installability stakes.
we call that the Debian Potato method:P but hell, it's more fun than having X set up automagically during installation, mandrake's just plain cheating.
and what of the PNG format, the JPEG format is fine for transmission of small low quality images, all GIFs should be destroyed, and PNG is the best format in the world.
it can be quite entertaining to open up a whole filesystem in a hex editor and just poking around to see what you can find, wouldn't it be possible to find this data that way?
well, it's about time, since both of the existing filesystems they use are pretty poor in most respects, does this mean that their new FS will be written to be as difficult as ar all possible to write drivers for for support on other OSs?
well, the original may be much older but FSV really isn't much like SGI's original FSN, FSV is quite a drab experience and although it is pretty and 3d it's far from usefull for most things, at least it wasn't when i last ran it a year ago, would it be at all possible to port 3DOSX to any other platforms?
well, as far as i know most smoke detectors are "Powered" by a standard 9Volt batt. the americium component is used in some manner to detect the smoke.
well, i think that Intel and AMD could help the opensource community streamline their software rather than the other way around, It is not in the chip makers interest to make modifications to this line of chips that would remove compatibility which snipping away instuctions would do, if you are going to change IA32 enough to make it incompatible you may as well move to a new architecture all together.
no, no one is talking about emulating the platform,there aren't any working PPC mac emulators i know of but basilisk does 68k well, atcually recoding components and porting to a different architecture, running native on x86 hardware, this would not be a difficult thing to achieve in theory as darwin, the freeBSD based component at the core, already runs on x86 platforms, but it would be a nightmare for a company like apple to support the kind of non standard hardware that most PCs use, apple's OSs work without problems and do plug and play well purely because they run on a small number of machines using fairly standard Mac hardware.

either way it's great to know there's a huge hole in every windows x86 release since '96

i was under the impresion that they just gave you a binary module and sources to compile a loader against your current kernel version.
the moral issue here is rather interesting, if a terrorist organisation were to use the technology would the programmers have a moral responsibilty?
there's also a rather nice Steganography Plugin for The GIMP.
well, if you obtained your copy of windows XP by less than legitimate means i'm sure you'll be able to get the service pack in a similar manner :P
