From the Tiger readme: "System requirements You must have a Macintosh computer with
a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
a DVD drive
built-in FireWire
at least 128 MB of RAM
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 2 GB of disk space available, or 3.5 GB if you install the developer tools"
You are completely correct, I watched my roommate who is not at all a computer science person convince his redneck friend to use firefox last week and I was surprised to see one of his first points was that it is related to netscape.
Saying that a series has low ratings and a decreased fan base is a little more than just making fun of a show, it is the cold harsh reality.
Making fun of it would be me saying that the first couple of seasons were obscenely corny and the plots are often boring to anyone other than the dedicated fanboi.
1) It would have full support for muse with scrollwheel and 3 buttons.
As far as I know it has full suport for any mouse with 3 buttons and a scrollwheel. I use a microsoft 5 button, scrollwheel bluetooth mouse with my ibook.
2) It would have ports of good games, instead of overrated, marketing-driven crap, that lacks innovation and thought.
A lot of that is a matter of opinion, but I play BF1942, CoD, and Halo on my iBook and it suites me.
3) It would not require purchase of hardware that costs twice as much as its PC twin with the same performance.
Normally I would tend to agree with you, but I think Woz getting involved brought out another point to me.
The fact is that while Woz and Jobs were this guy's age, they did the same and a lot worse crap, blueboxing, drugs, etc. Look at where they took the world. Apple, the company that is supposed to be about going against the grain, is not living up to itself. In addition, by them suing this guy, they are holding back somebody that could have done a lot of good for others.
I think Apple is just feeding the fears that, as a result of the success of the iPod, the company is changing from what it used to be.
I doubt it, the keyboard was just decimated by a year and a half of use. Hair, unknown substances, and sticky keys. I was going to replace it because it was becoming unbearable but this is definitely a new keyboard.
While my sense of democracy says otherwise, my inbox is making me reconsider this whole DMZ. Maybe we should just let North Korea...ya know...have at it.
Well since my 900 mhz G3 runs VPC at ~400 mhz, I would say yes. But I think there are other things like the GPU drivers and such that is just going to make the whole thing waaayyyyy too buggy IMHO.
Welcome to/. Everyone has an agenda here, whether its pro-FreeBSD or pro-Moz. It seems like the only time people actually bitch about agendas is when it is insanely anti-MS or pro-Apple. Most of the flamebait articles are infact flamebait. Seriously, I am sick of the anti-Apple bias of some of the users of this site.
I am sorry if I come off as harsh but I am sick of seeing these comments and am probably going to copy this reply to every one of these.
Slashdot is such a damn immense community that it has to appeal to everyone. As a Mac owner, this ia big news to me and the comments are helpful. However, I really couldn't give less of a crap about a new kernel update, FreeBSD, a crappy MMPORG release, RMS bitching about something, or a new rc for slack or moz. Yes I use firefox and am a religious debian user, but I really don't care. So you know what I do? I scroll down, I don't go into the thread and post a 'wtf' type comment.
Its been a couple months since the last point update and the security updates don't make the front page, so yes, I do think it is FP worthy.
Do you honestly think that those reigms would have fallen if it were not for Oil-for-Food? That program saved countless more lives than it indangered. Seriously, the UN is not responsible for the rape and torture of anyone. Half this scandal in America is just FNC trying to shift the focus of Iraq being fucked up onto the UN.
"This same useless organization turns a blind eye to the genocide that has been going on for a long time in African countries."
I cannot even believe that you said that. I hope you are referring to the US, because if I saw the country act with the passion towards Sudan, etc that it did with Iraq things would be a lot less fucked up over there. At least the UN is trying to broker some peace in that country.
Anyway, your comment was hardly relevant to the discussion as it was headed.
And what is the problem with this beyond being a time killer? I like my Audiovox 8900 that does all this, for the very reason that is does do all those.
I like being able to determine how quickly I get off my ass to pick up the phone by the ringtone. I like having a camera in my phone when a pair of boobs fall out at an unexpected time.
I hope this trend continues so that I can get a cheap phone with BT and Organizer functions here in backwards ass North Dakota.
More than likely Verizon was afraid allowing customers to more easily use the phone as a modem would cut into any type of PCMCIA modem sales/service so they pulled it out.
"PC games will never go away, but if the market keeps shrinking due to the increasing ease of piracy... then the number and quality of games will almost certainly decrease."
I can see the the logic of this, but couldn't a capitalist argue that Piracy creates a new market force vaguely resembling competition. One could argue if that statement is true, that Piracy actually forces the Games makers not to put out wasteful crap like they all to often do (come on more than 50% are crap with no audience) and force them to make stuff live up to competition. IE, if the game sucks I'd probably pirate it, if its good then I'll drive to Software Etc and pick it up.
Of course one can urge that now the companies have to waste time and money on anti piracy software in the process and that there are games that would appear to have no audience but they create one. (Pokemon, Conker, etc, etc)
I hope the above is coherent, too late in the night to post, I just wanted to see what my thoughts would crop up.
Slashdot Mirror
Interestingly enough I go to the coffee shop that I go to specifically because there is no wifi. If they installed it, I would get nothing done!
Actually someone I knew went up to the waitress and requested they get it. My response was 'if you install it, I am not coming back'...

Built in firewire seems to be the key.

It helps to establish familiarity I guess.

Mac Mini?

Same here, and they replaced my keyboard (had a key missing) for free. The OP is just a troll, nothing more.

I am fairly confident that Apple has used the same readme for every panther update...seriously OpenGL, Firewire, AFP, etc.
I would have first sumbitted all my picture to the rumor sites and said it was a new model for MW in January, just to drive the fanboys nuts.
Sorry my wording on that was poor, I meant to ask if you thought it seriously prevented the downfall of any regimes

Try your local state surplus. If you find out what day they get their inventory, you can get the craziest shit.
*Typing this on a 21 inch monitor he bought at North Dakota State Surplus for $20*
Do you forget Spotlight technology in Tiger which does this too and is integrated into the OS?
You have to get like extra karma for comparing the Bush administration to Trichomoniasis.

ha, I guess the mods took my sig of 'forget it' as a part of the post.
nope, everyone is waiting for e17
