If I wanted a G5, I would have just bought it. I want a slow G4 so that I know if my program runs reasonably well on this, it should be even faster on better Macs. I may buy a 4th Intellimouse, I love those things, and its USB so whatever, it should work, but right now I'm just VNCing to it from my win2000 box anyway. What I really need to find is some easy way to manage a program that compiles and runs well on OSX and Windows. Sure I could use GTK, but I know GTK apps look like ass on windows, so I probably won't. I hate MFC and stuff, but that obviously doesnt help OSX anyways.
I already signed up for that, but I can only put some much effort into learning how to use and program for OSX, since 90%+ of my sales will definately still be the windows version. I see it more as myself doing a favor for the Mac community by even trying to create a Mac version of my software.
I just bought my first Mac off of ebay (G4/450/256M/10G/DVD/ZIP/keyboard/stupid puck mouse/17" monitor). I've been programming under Linux and Windows forever, and plan to start programming for OSX now too. I am really looking forward to OSX 10.3 and the final Xcode. Any veteran Mac programmers want to help me learn this stuff:)
I know a couple towns with no stoplight, no major cross road, over an hour from any large city, but they have their vary own nextel tower. Nextel and unlimited walkie-talkie is big with farmers, and it shouldn't be hard to imagine why.
mod_gzip does not translate images into jpg's and recompress them with a quality setting of 5-10% But true, for the most part, mod_gzip takes care of any plain-text compression, and most data on the web is already going to be compressed anyways if the author of the website is smart.
No, this config option does not exist in 1.5b, and setting it manually does not work either. Regardless this behaviour is so broken and even if some few people want it, it should NOT be the default option at all. Groupmarks are NOT about saving the state of the tabs, they are about bookmarking more then one page at a time. It is rediculous to think that groupmarks should work any differently then normal bookmarks. A bookmark will replace the current tab with a new page, all other tabs remain. A groupmark should do the same, either replace the current tab and insert new tabs to the right, or overwrite tabs towards the right appending new tabs to the end if needed. The entire point and all of the power behind groupmarks was being able to add more then one page to your current view. This ability is completely removed by this bug. If you want a clean window, press control+N first, if you dont want to overwrite anything, just append to the end, press control+T first. On a side note, control+clicking a bookmark/groupmark or middleclicking it should open it in a new tab, just as if you pressed control+T right before opening the bookmark. v1.4 and prior's behavious should be what happens if you middleclick the groupmark to open it in a new tab.
Bookmark groups used to open in new tabs, not closing all existing tabs like they do now. That really sucks, I cant keep page X open and press my bookmark that opens page A B and C in separate tabs without having the tab with page X closed:(
I'm in Grand Rapids (MI) - I think it stopped short of here too. Lansing and Detroit were both out from what I hear. Of course, I was at cedar point that day, trapped on the Iron Dragon for an hour and a half until they got out the cherry picker to rescue us.
I was about to agree that all the TV crap sucks but I have a George Forman grill as well, and while I got mine at Meijer, it did start as an informercial didn't it. Obviously became successful enough to be carried in real stores though.
Really? I have had the Wee-woo! sound forever, not a default Ding! or Beep! As far as I know it still works in 1.4 final which I just downloaded. ( I know it worked in RC3 ).

The thread mentions somebody at mysql is working on a exception to their license to all PHP to continue to bundle the mysql library extension or whatever. I would hope it gets resolved by the final PHP5 and even if not, most distros like Redhat will probably have the RPMs set so this isnt an issue anyways.
I still use zmodem - rz an sz command line tools from my linux server. TeraTerm SSH supports zmodem, and its really handy for quickly transfering files. I suppose SCP would probably be just as easy now-a-days tho, but I dont know of any quick way to spawn a file-pick dialog directly from my free SSH client to get the transfer started without resorting to launching external tools manually.
The article seems kinda stupid to me, it describes a basic "stop-and-wait" protocol where only 1 packet can be in transit at a given time, and if it gets lost, it is retransmitted. I am pretty sure normal TCP has a window where it can send up to X packets at once and retransmit any particular missing one. I am sure there is room for improvement, but TCP is a fairly complex protocol already and the article seems to forget about all that.
No, UDP has error checking per packet via a checksum. What they are talking about is probably something to do with TCP "slow-start" where TCP connections speed increases slowly so as not to flood the network at first. I think the speed starts out exponentially with each packet then backing down some when packets are dropped.
The IBM-Hitachi drives with 8M cache have 3-year warranties, while the 2M cache models have 1-year warrenty. I got a 120G IBM drive (sure it has a Hitachi label, but its definately the same IBM design) with 8M cache just to ensure I get the 3-year warrenty and hope that means I am getting higher quality.
Yes, they are always up, they run Linux;-) Really though, you do get 30 days to use the program, activation is a one-time thing unless you reinstall. If I ever took down my website or something, I would be inclined to release the program as freeware and remove all activation code anyways. As long as I am selling it and responding to support emails and making money from the program, I will be here monitoring my servers as well.

Where can I get some of that stuff, that is so awesome. I wonder how hard or expensive it is to make.

First article I've ever read that uses the word pirates to mean what it should:
"The first Mox shipment to Japan was transported in two ships mounted with naval cannons to guard against pirates."

I dunno, I thought there was somewhat of a history of quakes around the mississippi. They happen less frequently but on a larger scale or something.

Somebody mod this up and mod all the junk about reinventing UDP down. This link has actual information about the protocol unlike the article.

You realize that UDP is really UDP/IP. By other protocols over ethernet, people probably mean IPX or vines and such.
Yes, they are always up, they run Linux ;-)
