Let's hope the title "Attack of the Clones" is just a teaser as well as this clip. That is the worst thing Lucas has done since creating Jar Jar Binks (whom i've heard is on the Emperial Council!). I may wait for the video on this one... but we'll see. Episode 1 was very disappointing, seemingly focused on a pod race and a tribe of moronic underwater creatures.
Um, I was referring to MacOS X. There is no need to reboot the OS if an app crashes. In my experience, 95% of Win crashes require a reboot to regain any semblance of stability to the system. I'm an internet/multimedia developer, for all those wondering. I assume Linux is just as stable as MacOS X.1, although I haven't had time to install my copy of Linux PPC successfully yet. Linux has got nothing on the MacOS installer programs...
I don't think that Apple designed the iMac to be a server machine. Try rackmounting that egg! Actually, in my G4 (450,Atto U2SCSI LVD w/Quantum Atlas 10K), I have a mail app (apple), jakarta tomcat on apache, mysql, jedit, 3 browsers (ie, NS 6.2 [for fun...not], Omniweb), bbedit, word x (preview), samba, and other random apps running all at once. Nary a page out, too (get a gig of ram and you'll never have to swap out again!).
I suspect you have an older iCrack with a small amount of RAM, and perhaps an older version of the OS, maybe even 9.0. Get more Ram, latest patches. Better yet, get an PowerBook G4 or a quicksilver if you want an awesome Web/DB server machine that will hardly ever (can't say never for sure, only had X.1 running straight for a month now, since I got it:) ). I'll take my OSX over XPee any day of the week.
And MacOS X.1 actually takes 53 minutes off of your work day. I think this is pretty subjective, so I'll make my own claims. My computer at Work (Win NT) is constantly getting blue screens, unexpected errors (access violation), and other freezes. My Mac at home, which I do the same things on, is rock solid, and doesn't look like a throwback to the 70's.
You may not type any comments using this program that are negative in nature towards Micro$oft or any of it's subsidiaries. Doing such will result in those sentences being changed to "I love Micro$oft, now and forever."
No, just mentioned to the supervisor when mentioning the case history that one of the reccommendations was to fire a gun at the CPU, and he looked at the history and got his name. I didn't get him fired, he did that himself.
My girlfriend's Dell XPS was having problems a few monts back, it would run for a period, then shut itself off, with the only way to get it back again was to unplug it, then plug it back in again, and would work for decreasing amounts of time with each use.
So we called Dell Support. We told the firs person about the symptoms, and he decided to send us a new MOBO. Ok, I didn't think that was the problem, but ok. Once we got it, we swapped it out and yep, same problem.
So we call back. This time, the tech support guy's reccomendation, and I quote, "I suggest you get a shotgun, point it at the computer, and fire. That ought to get rid of the problem." I immediately asked for his supervisor, and rumor has it, he was fired.
After next getting sent a new processor (after i told them I thought it was in the power supply), and determining that that wasn't the problem either (and having them send us 4 bios versions to try), they finally sent us a new power supply like i asked each time, and viola! It worked perfectly.
The moral of this story is, don't always trust Dell support, unless you want bullet holes in your computer. MORONS
In a few months, they'll release a 120MB "patch" that you can download that will disable games on your computer Misro$soft feels are insecure.
Oh, it'll be $125, too.
It'll work with OS 9 too, so old macs will still be supported, all you need is a firewire card. So any mac with PCI will work, which is any mac released since about '95. I think that is reasonable.
Why don't you moderate yourself down to -1 for that lame ass remark. This thing's component's, individually, aren't revolutionary, true. However it is the combination of them and the finess of the execution that is. An MP3 player. A hard drive. Firewire. No power supply needed. SMALL AS HELL. Now combine those. I think you are just pissed because you didn't think of it first. I agree, it is a bit expensive. However, I think the price will come down.
Wasn't the 6GB Nomad $400 when it first came out? Could you use that as a HD? Could you fill it up in under a minute? Could you charge it over the same cable you were loading it up with? Did it automatically sync with your computer? Nope.
Get off your high horse and realize that just because the individual comonents aren't unique, the combination of them all is, and that's why it'll sell, regardless of whether some/. moderator thinks so.
So then, theoretically speaking, a combination of a large cache and a long pipeline ala Pentium4 would be very bad, as it would take up more spaces in the pipeline while it waits for the cache to be paged through, or do I have this backwards? Would a larger cache on the P4 help it with its ungodly long pipeline since cache misses would be reduced?
...where the Athlon went up in smoke and turned a firey 900 degrees? With a wooden case, it could actually burn everything around you down in a blaze of glory. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Just imagine all the copies of Nimda and CodeRed they'll have sitting on their servers now! They'll capture thousands per day! I wonder if the Feds will preach what they teach and not open attachments they steal... er... oversee.
Did that say 35MB of L1 + L2 cache? I may be rusty, but I think I remember reading in my Processor Design for Dummies book that increasing cache size actually can slow down processor performance after a certain amount. Could someone please clarify this?
For some reason when I first skimmed over the article, I accidentally thought the cat's name was Necro, missing the first "o". Which then led me to think of the term necrophilia, which really grossed me out. Not unlike a cat does with it's coughing up fur balls (do they have a subroutine for that?).
I may not be a Japanese inventor, but I don't think i'd want my invention's name to not remind anyone about sex with the dead. Anyone else have this reaction?
As a person who actually owns 95% of the music he's downloaded (I have over 200CDs), I think i've already spent that ($12 x 200 = $2400). I have 5 gigs of MP3 (about 1000 songs).
As for the pricing of individual songs, all I've read suggests that they would charge $2.50/song. This is insane. With the price of a CD at $15, and there are usually around 10-15 songs/CD, they should charge the fair price/track, or (price of CD)/(number of tracks/CD), or roughly a buck/song. I'd pay that. I also agree that the price of CD's are WAAAAY inflated. The price hasn't dropped in 20 years. You cannot tell me that the manufacturing costs haven't gone down, adn the price of the media hasn't dropped. The price of the Cd should have dropped as well. Highway robbery if you ask me.
I'll just make a directory full of Virii that are called "Metallica - Ride the Lighning.mp3".
Do they think that actions like this will get people on their side?

My home computer is a G4/AGP/450. Nary a crash since X.1 was installed. Not even IE (surprisingly enough).

Didja ever think to put the thing on a surge protector? Sounds like ya didn't.

they always say that to cover their asses if it doesn't work. if the finder recognizes it, it'll work.

Did anyone else notice the Dell napkin looking thing under the cigarette box? I think this is a hoax. Wait an hour and find out what it really is.

I think it was a joke. In a later article it states that Disney is a major campaign contributor to him.
I'm going to make underwear out of it to generate electricity for laptops. I'll call them ass-transformers. Or perhaps tighty-lighties. : )
