  3. Re:any reviews on Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 Hits Mirrors · · Score: 1

    well thats jsut it, im sick of the old mac OS, and cant run the new one. so im wondering if Linux will solve my problems. im going to run 9,2 in MoL if it works with the AV hardware. in 8,6 i have to use 'apple video player' to access the AV stuff. i dont think its in 9,x. or was it replaced with something after system 8.

  4. any reviews on Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 Hits Mirrors · · Score: 1

    have any of you bought this and have been using it? it was released for purchase a while ago. i tried 2,0 a while ago on my g4, it was slow. i want to use this on an 8500av but worry that itll crawl. also my av input/output card (apple's AV expansion card) isnt supported so ill have to stick with MoL to use it. but im sick of running 8,6 on it and want a modern OS. any feedback, esp on older machines.

    sorry, that was supposed to come off more sarcastic. but on a seriooous note, i m getting well sick of people underestimating the cube, it dosent garner nearly the respect it should. when programmed well i think it can out perform the box, but it all boils down to the gameplay in teh end anyway, so who cares.

    well the dreamcast did have both a mouse and keyboard. so before i built a 'puter, thats how i played unreal and quake 3. (im a mac guy, mac gaming sucks). check here to see the kb and mouse, thet can both be found cheap now, check your local funcoland.

  13. itd be beter on teh CUBE anyways on Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    the cube has better texture support, and doom 3 relys heavily on texturing for its graphics. also the ppc architechture of the cube would make it more efficient for running the game, better than that x86 generocrap in the xbox.

    /ends fanboy rant

    i dont plan on buying it for console, but i will purchase both the OSX and PC versions, cause you DO need a mouse and keyboard.

  19. look and feel on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Bamboo) Is Available! · · Score: 1

    its nice to see that the linucies are taking the look and feel thing seriously. This release looks great, no Aqua, but better than XP. And its not just KDE 3.whatever or Gnome 2, cause there are some hideous looking themes for both. its nice to see that the default environment, the one that most users never change, looks good. its also nice to know that at any time i can do whatever i feel like with it, which i cant do (easily) in OSX.

  25. drag n drop tabs on Hyatt Discusses Tabs · · Score: 4, Interesting
    i want to be able to drag and drop my tabs either to arrange them within one window, or to move them between windows. i think they should worry less about the order of opened tabs and allow users to move them. if you have used photoshop 7s 'pallete well' feature, you will know what sort of freedom i want with my tabs.

    i think the current crop of tabbed browsers will adopt this in their second generation of tabs, and i cant wait, it makes the future that much brighter (and yes, i do wear shades).
