  1. Re:Gimme a Win32 LAYER! on Replacement for "Microsoft's" Virtual PC? · · Score: 1

    There were a bunch of macs in the old days that had an x86 chip on a daughter card I believe. The main problem I can see with that today is heat. Macs are compact computers, and they do enough work trying to dissapate the heat from a G4 let alone a Pentium.

    Last year's PC wouldn't be able to run the hottest and greatest either. But to answer the question yes, it would, se the difference between the mac and the PC, is when you meet the minumum system requirements on the mac, it will run, and run playably, unlike most PCs I've run across which will just barely run on minimum requirements.

    Academics have money to waste? HA! Surely you jest. I just listened to the head of our tech departement bitch about how Microsofts latest licensing stuff was going to screw the school out of so much money. And with the next breath he informed us we needed to calculate out the number of PCs we would need to buy to replace the current lab and prep the purchase order. When we asked why if the licensing scheme was going to fuck them over they were still going to buy PCs, we were told because the initial cost is smaller so it looks like we're spending less.

    Trust me, schools don't waste money.

    Plenty of numbers to back it up, just take a look at any school. Heck, my old highschool just last year finaly phased out the old LCs. We're talking computers that have gone from being th eprimary work stations to library terminals, but were still in everyday use. The only PCs that old in the school were in the basement holding up tables.

    Don't think the Ti Books are due for an update in the very near future. They just revamped them in Nov, and then again added soem extra bits just recetly. I think they'll sit on these till at least late summer.

    Only a 12 inch display?

    For a laptop, espesialy a sub notebook, and for people who don't plan on watching movies on their computer, a 12 inch can be just fine. Infact, 12 inches for most things is more than enough for a laptop. Check out an apple powerbook to see just how far 12 inches can go.

    Editors of top science magazines have voiced concern terrorists could use studies they publish to help make chemical or biological weapons.

    Because of this fear a statement has been signed by editors of leading science publications urging cautious self-censorship.


    In otherwords they're asking people to carefuly consider what they put up for publication in a public sience journal. There is nothing about stoping flow of information between researchers or auto censor. It's all about SELF censor.

    There was an analysis written regarding the phrase "Life, Liberty and Persuit of Happiness" and it essential boiled down to this. Those words were chosen very specificaly and placed in the order that they were specificaly. That the order is indicative to the order which they must be considered:

    Right to Life: This must be preserved at all costs, your life and the lives of those arround you are of upmost importance. All else pales in comparison, for without Life, all other rights are useless.

    Right to Liberty: Your life havign been secured, your next thought should be liberty. All the freedoms greanted by the constitution etc. For it is impossible to persue the last god given right without Liberty.

    Right to the Persuit of Happiness: Now you are truely free to try to make yourself happy, but only in so far as you do not infringe on the first 2 rights. In otherwords, if somethign done to ensure life and liberty does not make you happy, that's too bad.

    Preferences => dock => turn magnification off => turn auto hide on. Yellow minimizes the window and places it in the dock next to the trash can (the little divider in the dock seperates applications from folders and windows). Maximize maximizes the window to fit the content, not to fill your screen. As for the commands, they all seem pretty universal to me, I think you're just trolling.
