Surely the geometry and/or arrangement of the thrusters has some bearing (pun most certainly not intended) ?, if rolling the vessel allows more thrusters to be brought into play to alter the direction of travel then it may make completely perfect sense to do so. ?
"2. Picasa does not alter the original images when you decide to 'edit' the image. Even if you crop the image, Picasa leaves the original image alone and only displays the photo as cropped or edited when you view it from within Picasa. If you wish to generate a photo that matches the Picasa display you an easily 'export' it. Also you can come back days later and undo any edit you did to a photo. iPhoto on the other hand changes the source image and once you finalize an edit, you cannot come back later to undo them."
Is plainly and completely wrong, plz see 'revert to original' menu item in iphoto.
"He then generalised this - changes between species - to species changing into completely different species, by assuming a very long period of time for micro-evolution to occur. ID argues that this wouldn't be enough"
Speciation occurs when isolated pockets of a species become reproductive incompatible... boom, two seperate species rather than different breeds of the same species.
1. That's something that could have been added to an AthlonXP, it's utilising the existing FP pathways just as SSE1 does on the AthlonXP whilst the Tbird athlon didn't have SSE at all. 2. That's the big DING DING DING, the lower memory latency plumbed into what is largely the same architecture makes a hugeass difference. 3. That's due to the on die memory controller more than anything.

It has happened before, and will happen again.

How fragmented are your harddisks that they're only pushing 7MB/s ???
a good modern disk should perform linear reads/writes at around the 55-60MB/s mark.
Since new OSX releases aren't annual, $50/year would be more revenue, more regularly, for Apple.
higher bitrate files are larger ergo the disk will be spun up more often, using more power...
I think you'll find that the libraries for garageband and idvd take up a slightly larger amount of space than 1.8GB
What do you mean they haven't produced a card that competes with the 7800 yet?, the X1900 series competes with the 7900!

Go lookup Quartz 2D Extreme, not to be confused with Quartz Extreme
:p
it's toggable in the dev tools in 10.4, I thoroughly expect it to be enabled by default in 10.5, and... well, just read up on it
Go right to the top end, spec out a Quad G5, couple of gigs of ram, 7800GT
then spec out a dual Opteron 280 box (so Quad cores in total), match the rest of the specs as closely as possible
I've done it a few times and it's almost always a complete wash.
Morelike they already have done...
Rosetta developers docs
Not quite
It was a Celeron with 128KB of L2, on a 133Mhz FSB (retail Celerons at the time were on a 66Mhz FSB, the 133Mhz bus being reserved for P3's)
Coppermine P3's had 256KB of L2

Um, hate to be the one to tell you, but Nvidia dropped Soundstorm after Nforce2, there's no dolby digital on NForce3 or 4.
I benchmarked an ipod (2nd gen, 10GB) plugged into a windows machine a while ago, and the disk sustained 7-8MB/s'ish
"Many web sites seem to stall on Safari and the Mac versions of other browsers"
Odds are you need to bitch at Macromedia.
Flash 8 is coming this summer, and they're MASSIVELY reworked their renderer for speed... until then.. boohiss @ flash
500Mhz g3 white ibooks without DVD read ability exist.
"Meanwhile, I'm not buying what the site says about stock heatsinks running in the 50-60C range."
Hello?
Prescott anyone?
Athlon64's run fairly cool, Pentium 4E's are anything but...
"and has no dual-channel DDR. "
You were headed towards a point until you got to that..
All PowerMac G5's have dual channel DDR400 (except for the 1.6Ghz Rev A's which have dual channel DDR333)

the 9800 Mobility is new and Apple are mid upgrade cycle with the powerbook line...
So, yeah, no Macs have them.
yet.
(and those $500 or less FX6800U's aren't AGP Pro + ADC + DDL equipped)
That affect is extra fillrate+pixel shader throughput, in a texture memory limited situation, it'd perform the same as a single card.
Three days is amazing?
I've clocked my Nokia 6310i at three weeks...
It's not just the amount of video memory, it's the hardware featureset underlying it.
a 32MB TNT2 wouldn't be able to do anything with Quartz Extreme... a 16MB Radeon can.
"the discs, by themselves, cannot be hacked."
Setting themselves up for a MONSTROUS fall there...
