this is a col enough challenge to be sure, but whay are ALL of the games coded for obsolete systems? Why aren't there Java or Shockwave titles in there? Seems like a bit of a waste of time...
no. Any Mac user will tell you that Command-Period will abort such an unintentional operation. It took me YEARS to realsie just how deeply rooted and powerful Drag and Drop is in the MacOS. Thjink different, think fucking easy!
yeah, I've got an MS mouse on this Mac - can't say I like it much - it's too big, I don't like the wheel, there are too many buttons and it CREAKS under pressure! Give me an Apple Pro Mouse any day or, better still, my beautiful Wacom Intuos II. Double click set on pressure. 'Nuff said.
are you seriously suggesting that the AutoCAD user typically designs on a LAPTOP? Does AutoCAD even run on the Mac at all? If you think that Photoshop using professionals are hamstrung by their single button mice, you're an idiot.
well, it shouldn't be. If you're expecting a beautiful keyboard on a laptop that's about half an inch thick then you're a loon, if you're upset that Apple's don't have multiple mouse buttons and are too dense to push the Option, Control and Command keys in their stead (hang on a minute, that means you've got - effectively - FOUR mouse click types!) then you're just being deliberately perverse. The modifier key system is GOOD, and gives NOTHING away to the multiple mouse button approach IMHO.
face it man, at this point we know fuck all about the merits (or not) of the Opteron. If it's a 64bit solution that Apple needs, I think that Power GPUL or Itanium would make much more sense.
not really fair when the top dual Powermac doesn't actually cost $5000. Having said that, our fastest box here is also a PC, an Athlon XP 2100+ - seems even more so because it has a top-flight GeForce 4 Ti GFX card. Still, we've got another Mac on order - some jobs are just SO MUCH qicker and easier on a Mac.
Actually, SGI is a good lesson here as their x86 strategy has been a COMPLETE FIASCO. You start building x86 boxes and the price/performance ratio comes into SHARP focus - Apple can (justifiably) claim at the moment that the G4 architecture gives them certain unique advantages over x86 boxes (there's little doubt that Altivec is the best SIMD architecture on the desktop), but if Apple go x86 then all we have to do is look at a quick shootout on THG to see just how much Appple is giving us for our money. The game would be up in a week - what creative pro do YOU know that runs a Sony VAIO desktop?
oh yeah! the omniscience of the US intelligence community is rightly famous after Sept 11. Why haven't they noticed yet that America was attacked... from America?
Editing the content of a film is akin to refurbishing Michaelangelo's David with a leaf covering the genitalia.
Ha Ha! The movie studios re-edit their OWN DIRECTORS work all the fucking time to get the rating they want and to get the "right" reaction in test screenings. If you think that the movie business is even tangentially related to 'art' then you're stunningly naiive.
I agree wholeheartedly. There seems to be a huge movement to outlaw mobile 'phone masts and DTH satellite dishes in the UK, despite the fact that they're both ENORMOUSLY less visually intrusive than the telephone poles and TV aerials that they supplant. Fucking Luddites is what it is.
best spaceship toy I never had - I had one of those crappy enterprises with the disc shooting and the bendy plastic nacelle arms, crappy X-wing with the flappy canopy and LED "laser", crappy-tiny Liberator (with most of the paint worn off) and some crappy miniature TiBirds. My mate Russel had TWO Eagles - complete - AND a Millenium Falcon - only my Tie Fighter really made the grade...
Blake's 7 is double-billed every Saturday and Sunday morning on UK Gold, and every Saturday and Sunday evening on UK Gold 2. Paul Darrow is the best value actor in ANY "Sci-Fi" TV series ever - though Chris Barrie and Tom Baker run him close sometimes. The best of Blake's 7 is the first 2 series - when Makepeace arrived it all went a little limp. The music is certainly the best of any of it's genre. Watch and enjoy! (I loved the first Space:1999 series too)
SGI's bandwidth advantages come from their advanced "crossbar" architecture (something similar is used in the new ATi uber-card, the 9700pro) and the usually high-end disk and network interfaces.

not quite, Apple isn't selling software that only runs on their systems, they're selling SYSTEMS, FULL STOP.
That's important to a lot of people.
who? wankers?

do you only have one finger on your left hand?
again, you show your Mac ignorance. Click and hold for contextual menus in every OSX WWW browser that I've used...

our graphic design and imaging tech labs were locked down with MacPrefect. Frustratingly, it DID seem to work...
...surely?

you could say the same thing about the Newton vs Palm (newton was SOOO far ahead it hardly seems possible that anyone even looked at the Palm)
yeah, but the G3 (Sahara) can interface with DDR SDRAM...
