Hey we should be looking for gravitons. They would have useful and prictical value in society. Imagine graviton space engines, graviton suspensor fields...yum. Anyways....
The proposal would be to put a telescope 2.4 kilometers underwater, in an attempt to study neutroino/cosmic rays.
Hemos its 'neutrino'. Man, you need a spell checker...;) --
Anyone have any info on the processors they are using? I know they are copper, but the model eludes me. Perhaps the POWER3? It's the most likely candidate. That is a kick ass processor with Awesome FPU power. --
They can delete the system folder, install software, anything.
You can not delete the active System folder in MacOS. The worst you can do is remove key files from it which whould cause it not to boot up properly (or at all). --

Works fine for me.:) This is great...but evil at the same time.

If these FPGA computers were to develop an artificial intelligence and form some kind of sentience, what would be the ethical ramifications of selling a self-conscious being? Would it be on par with slavery? Would shutting it down be the equivalent of digital murder? Interesting questions....
I wouldnt mint it at all. It would give the PPC platform acceptance in the eyes of the suits and help the CHRP platform. A good thing. Let MS do the hard part...
Useless to a Mac user? I don't think so. The more PPC's that get sold the less they will cost. The less the cost , the less Apples machines will cost. The less Apple machines cost, the more they sell and they make more money. And I pay less for my next Mac. Sounds good to me.
Hey, Apple, your computers run on electricity, but PCs ran on electricity first - better watch out or IBM will sue you!
If thats not the most idiotic analogy, I dont know what is. Err Apple made PC's before IBM ever started. 1977 Wait, I'm Thomas Jeffersons great, great, great, great, great, grandson....maybe I should sue IBM and Apple and Dell and Compaq..... sounds silly huh?

Apple sues eMachines

Don't bother explaining. People in this thread are too misguided by hate (and stupid I might add) to understand the real reason for the suit. It's funny really.
Oh, can I buy your floppy? Wait, I don't need one. Nevermind.
Although, I don't agree with Apple sueing Emachines, what computer company was making all in one, translucent, colored boxes? Oh wait they added a floppy; its totally different.
Bad move Apple. This eOne is quite ugly and you had nothing to worry about. I think its just a ploy to delay possible shipment or maybe just to put the eOne in a bad light until the new iMacs come out in the Fall. oh well.
Check Apples and Motorolas websites. You do not need to program in assembly to use Altivec instructions. CodeWarrior contains libraries and all you have to do is include them when compiling. Apple has provided tools for thier developers for over a year also. At the recent SIGGRAPH many companies announced Altivec optimized software. MacOS 9 and X are also known to include much optimization including Quicktime.
No. The G3 uses backside caching schemes like the P2 and P3. Unlike the P2 & P3, the G3 can use a 1:1 cache:processor speed if the manufacturer wishes. The cache is still limited to 1MB.
2) go out and try to buy a copper based chip -- they don't exist yet, NOBODY is selling copper chips
Wrongo. IBM make copper chips. All PwerPC 750's are copper based including other chips they make. I have seen copper chips in Macs.
5) hopefully ppc chips will be just as big as x86 chips and use the extra free space for cache
The cost of adding more cache and making the L1 cache bigger does not justify the increase in cost. The speed increace would be negligible and would reduce price performance. But Motorola G4's are expected to have twice the G3 L1 cache to keep the Altivec unit from getting bottlenecked. You should only increase L1 cache beyond 32K if you add more processing units. AMD did that because they include 3 FPU's on the K7.
IBM makes several 64bit chips. The PowerPC 620, 630 (Power3), Power2 64, and soon the Power4. There will also be a 64bit version of the G4 by both IBM and Motorola. Check the roadmaps on their websites. The RS6000 line mostly uses Power3's now. They are highly scalable as far as SMP goes.
I'm very excited about the possibility of making my own PPC box. Also, loading the MacOS X on this machine should be trivial since there is no boot code needed for it to boot. A simple hack may be needed perhaps. Also if you notice the info on the MTX motherboards Motorola sells, they DO run the MacOS with the correctly configured CHRP configuration file (OS 8.0 and 8.1 only. I hear it may be easy to hack one for the other versions such as 8.5, 8.6 and 9.0). I do beleive you may need to load the ROM from a PowerMac though, into the OF. There may be legal issues to overcome unless you are a developer. Call MCG for more info.

Just a concerned AI...
hmm if 20% of all mac apps are quality then that makes 2000 quality apps. Does BeOS even have half that many apps in all?
I wouldnt mint it at all. It would give the PPC platform acceptance in the eyes of the suits and help the CHRP platform. A good thing. Let MS do the hard part...
I know! Especially since BeOS has about 100 more apps than MacOS. Oh wait, no it doesn't. Nevermind.

Um, Compaq had a machine that intergrated the monitor and computer way back in 1984? Wow, maybe they should sue...

We have 64bit and 66MHz PCI. Join them together and Yum.

Actually what would be funny is the price/performance ratio. The Ultra3 has impressive specs...and an impressive price tag.
And don't forget how cheap it is. Wait, it isn't. Nevermind.
