Does the same 134 GB limit apply to Macs? This is important to me because I'm looking to add a large capacity external drive to my iMac, so no room for an upgrade ATA controller.
As we speak I'm using my original Bondi Blue iMac, the computer that you weren't supposed to be able to upgrade. Too bad the only original thing on this is the motherboard and monitor! I have an upgraded processor, more RAM than it was orignally intended, upgraded Hard Disk, upgraded 3-D card, and a firewire port add on! People who whine about macs not being upgradable are fools who don't know anything about Macs
Most people don't seem to realize that you can upgrade macs too. Are you gonna run Win XP with the 300 Mhz PII that you were using 3 years ago? Fat chance. My daily computer is my original Bondi Blue iMac (from over 4 years ago), with a 500 Mhz G3 + Firewire upgrade. It runs OS X.1.5 just fine, and I'm sure it will run 10.2 just fine too.
Sitting in front of my computer all day?

Am I the only one that doesn't want to sit in front of my computer to watch tv? If this had an s-video output to my tv so I could display my monitor on my TV I would be all over that. Unfortunately I spend enough time in front of my computer already, I want to be able to relax on my bed when I watch TV
I had the same experience with a local DSL provider, only no FBI. I had been waiting for this damn DSL for nearly a year while they were setting up their operation in my dinky town. When I finally got it it lasted for a whole month til I got my service taken away for excessive bandwidth consumption for running my hotline server. Not only did they shut it down, but they called my parents, even though I was 18 at the time and felt the need to tell them I was running a porn server. Grr... it still makes me mad, these local ISPs try to watch every computer connected to them with a magnifying glass. I say don't support local ISPs, I've been with Charter broadband for the last year (formerly @Home) and haven't had any problems
On a side note, seeing as how you seem to know how to design good software, have you looked into creating a Kazaa client for mac yet? I know FastTrack is closed source, but so was Audiogalaxy as far as I know. I have Neo, and while I admire the author's effort and time, it just isn't cutting it to try to index random addresses that "might" be kazaa servers. Are you waiting for the OpenFT project?
Dude, Macsatellite has been around for a long time for classic, works fine. For OS X you can use Sputnix which is the best audiogalaxy client out there IMO, it's awsome
I agree with you. I'm a mac guy, so we haven't had a floppy drive in our computers in 4 years, beginning with the original iMac. There hasn't been a single time that I've missed having a floppy
I've yet to see any periphreal that's supposed to get you "more into the game" succeed. Remember the Nintendo Power Glove? I think they sold bout 10 of them. Remember the Nintendo Virtual Boy? Of course you don't, it was the lowest selling video game system of all time cuz it made you sick after about 15 minutes of play (though I'd still like to pick one up off ebay:) Anyways, I don't see this as turning out any different than any of those. Granted, I feel like I'm missing something when I play a game without my dualshock PS2 controllers now, but this magical chair will go down the same road as those other devices methinks
Okay, I was tired this morning, maybe it is a Rev B, LOL... in which case would explain everything. Actually yeah it's a Rev B cuz I'm pretty sure I remember it having 6 MB VRAM... which would also mean it has a Rage Pro card, sorry, heh
I honestly thought I'd never see the day when Rage Pro was supported in OS X. I was hoping in 10.2, but this is a big surprise. I'm very happy with Apple. My Rev A iMac works just fine under OS X now
Well I'm on my Rev A iMac as we speak... the update never said anything about 3D upgrades for Rage Pro. I have a 500 Mhz processor upgrade, but before in OS 10.1.2 i could only play full screen mpegs at about 15 frames a sec. Now I can play full screen at 30 frames a second and everything else is noticibly faster too, so you tell me if it's not supporting my video card:-P
You don't want to use it as a web browser... not trying to discourage buying the kit, I have it, but it's mostly a learning tool. X runs at like 620 x 215 on an NTSC display... which = way zoomed in. As for the Mozilla, I believe some people have been tryin to get it workin, isn't workin smoothly just yet
VCD eh?? So you got an external CD drive to mount? Besides that video playback is no good at the moment until someone makes an MPEG player that uses the IPU instead of software acceleration, tis way choppy with software.
What you people don't realize is that BMG is not paying for software or a company, they are paying for a name. That is something Kazaa, Limewire, WinMX, Bearshare... any of them don't have. When my mom hears something about mp3s what does she say? "Oh, you mean like that napster thing?" that's what she says, and that's what millions of other Americans who aren't slashdot nerds say. If my mom wanted to get mp3s she wouldn't know how to go about it, but if she knew that Napster, this place she'd hear so much about a while back could get them to her then she'd go to www.napster.com and get it.
It's a very smart move on BMG's part I'd say... in the business world they've always said the most important thing is "location location location", well on the internet the most important thing is "Name Name Name".
Dude, I saw Attack of The Clones last night... it seemed like the end wasn't totally finished... I almost think they are going to make a sequel to it!!!
It's $200 and mine ships out in 21 days:-P It's going to transform my ps2 into the ultimate gaming device because i'm running MAME, SNES, Atari 2600 etc emulators on it with hundreds of games.... have your play PS2 and PS1 games in addition to that, along with snazzy controllers, optical audio out and s-video
Metal Gear Solid 3 for PS2 has some great AI. If you're too noisy the enemy will come looking around corners for you and stay kinda frieked out for a minute. If you go right up to them and point a gun at their head they get all scared and won't shoot you. I also like how they call for reinforcements with guys with sheilds out in front and guys shootin in the back.
I live in Central WA right near the Hanford Nuclear Facility. This reminds me of a High School in the near by town of Richland. Their school sports name is the "Richland Bombers" and their logo is an R with a mushroom cloud behind it. Strange enough, I've never heard anyone mention complaints about it, in fact I'm not sure if people even realize the significance of it. Though a college here who's mascot was an "Indian" (native american) was forced to change their logo and mascot because it was deemed too offensive, go figure.
The hypocricy is unbelievable. You are the exact same people who argue that "Video games do not cause violence, poor parenting causes that". And now many of you are arguing that fake child porn encourages pedophilia? It's the exact same thing, you can't start ruling on all digital pictures being illegal, or else you are going to shoot yourself in the foot. I could EASILY see someone lobbying for violence in video games to be outlawed on account of illegal digital child porn setting a precident for all digital "corruption" being outlawed.
I can field this for you better than the other reply. I am still on my original Bondi Blue iMac as we speak. with the 266 you'll run OS 9.2 like a champ. OS X is pretty damn slow though on it... I got the 500 MHz + Firewire Harmoni upgrade for mine. It kicks ass on 9.2, but I don't run OS X.1 even though I have it installed, because it doesn't support my video card. It is certainly bearable to run with my 500 mhz, but I watch a lot of videos and it runs those a bit too slow for my taste. I think the iMac would be well worth it though to try out
I'm buying the kit because it will turn my PS2 into the ULTIMATE media device. I plan on using it to run MAME, SNES, and Atari emulators on my TV and being able to use my PS2 controllers. Also I will be playing my music videos (350+ of em) I have collected on my comp, on my TV. The emulation and videos alone are worth it for me. Yes I know I can get a USB video output to my TV thing, but then again, that just wouldn't be as cool as having my PS2 on my LAN, now would it?:)
Slashdot Mirror
Thanx :) Hopefully it should work fine then on OS X.1.5

Tis $199 plus shippin
I just realized I run about 33.7 gigs a month upload... eek!
