expleded - yep, I'm an idiot, should've been exploded
And apparently someone answered my question before in another post above before I refreshed slashdot. If the nt kernel supports the powerpc architecture, then that makes total sense. Win XP is based on the NT kernel, I wonder if they kept support for ppc around?
Damnit, my ppc expleded from overheating, guess I get a -6 to my piloting skill roll
But in all seriousness, even though I hate windows, I will point this out. One of the prototype boards (the one that runs the G4's) is listed as being able to run Microsoft Windows in it's list of features. How, I don't know, maybe someone else can explain
How am I offtopic? Please explain? I agree with what the guy's saying. Hardware shouldn't be optimized for operating systems, the operating systems should be optimized for the hardware. Anyone had to deal with a winmodem? It's not fun, those things suck. I pray we never see the day when a processor causes that much problems.
BTW, slashdot moderators are idiots. But, if being a mod makes your life more complete, more power to ya.
I love it how people are assuming that I'm pro-US. How many people died in China's great leap forward? How many attrocities were commited when China forced communism on Tibet? I guess it's allright for the govt. to put members of religious sects in special camps so they can re-educate them, because that's what they did to practitioners of Falun Gong. I'm not going to get started on what I think of the U.S. Suffice it to say, I think the govt. is taking advantage of 9-11 and they're not as hurt about the event as they would like us to think. You can't excuse one countries problems because another country screws up to. Would you like me to write a paper on my thoughts of China and send it to you?
The Chinese govt. treads on human rights. There is no question about this. What the U.S. does has nothing to do with this. I think that China is a wonderful country full of beauty, and that beauty is being stifled by a communist govt.
I don't think the U.S. handles itself very well either. Don't assume you know what my opinion is. This thread was about china, not the U.S. If someone had posted an article about the U.S., then I would have responded with my opinion on that matter.
The chinese govt. is evil. I don't need to debate this, or read about yet another one of their stunts to form this opinion. Look at what they did in the 50's to Tibet. The Dalai Lama is in exile now, and they force their communist yoke over the whole country. The chinese govt. will fall, maybe not in my lifetime, but it will fall.

yes, they have a nifty utility called loki update. I was very happy with the quality of the products that came from loki.

I agree totally.
Yay, I'm a troll now. I've always wanted to be one. Can I be a stunt double in the Lord of The Rings prequel? George Lucas can direct it.
