Heh, actually the iBooks are in layers. They're packed freaking tight, too.
There's a video of Chris Breen taking one apart to install a new hdd on an old MacWorld disk (Last month's). There are maybe 4 layers inside of each iBook, which seems very odd to me, but I saw it with my own two eyes.
While there is a WinXP box in my house, it is mainly for the rest of my family. I don't touch the damn thing. I'm always found on my iBook, in the living room of our house, running OS X.2.1
Actually, I am planning on running Yellow Dog Linux once I get around to ordering it, since I can then run Mac OS X and Linux at the same time.
Actually, WarCraft 3 runs under Linux via WineX with no difficulties or performance loss, it runs natively on Mac OS X, and since it runs on Linux it will run on FreeBSD.
Well, I have Folding@Home on my mac, and let me tell you, it causes MAJOR performance loss.
I just booted it up, along with process viewer to see what kind of hit I actually take. On my iBook 600mhz, 256mb RAM, OS X.2.1 Folding@Home uses 10-30% of my CPU's resources.
This is when I'm running Chimera, Terminal, Brickhouse, iChat, Console, iTunes and Process viewer.
When I kill everything but Process Viewer and Chimera, the little parasite snags 30-50% CPU time.
Low priority...right. Maybe it's low priority on PCs, but here in Mac land the thing is a CPU vampire.
Exactly how much space does journaling take up...?

10.2.2 Is Coming

· Score: 1
I'm wondering, since I only have 11gbs left on my iBook's harddrive until I decide to buy an external hdd. I don't want to take up my entire hdd with the JFS...
Heh, I'll probably enable it even with the performance hit; sure, my iBook will be slow, but it's so cool. =)
Actually, A little research on the apple site [apple.com] would reveal that the original poster was correct.
Perhaps you should research a recipe for crow, next?
So, if I'm correct, you did affermentioned research?
Because, see, if you did, you would have seen the lil 800mhz G4 writing, as follows:
800MHz PowerPC G4
1MB L3 & 256K L2 cache
133MHz system bus
Etc. See, I'm reffering to the fastest model; as he is reffering to the fastest PeeCee. Get yer fact straight before posting.
Every time I read an article about Pallidium on/. or geek.com, my heart sinks. The idea that someone could decide what you can and cannot run is just absolutely depressing to me.
While many of you may say "I'll just not buy Pallidium-Enabled PCs", that just won't work. Eventually, every PC will be Pallidium enabled, and the only choice will be to run old hardware, and to be unable to run any new or improved programs. Sure, you'll still be able to run Linux on that Pentium 4; but all the new programs will require a Pentium 6. And if they don't, Linux won't be able to take advantage of new hardware; you are damned wether you buy Pallidium PCs or not. And the general, Windows running populus will buy Pallium boxes; they don't care as long as Word, Excel, and the rest run, and run well.
The only hope for the/. community, and hackers in general, is that we all form a lobbying group, and lobby for Pallidium to be made unconstitutional (And for that to happen, code must be labeled "Free Speech", and there is a precedent against that. But remember, precedents can be overturned).
While many of you are against lobbying, the only way to beat this thing is to use the power that our government allows us to have. If we don't, we're dommed to a Pallidium Controlled Future.
Don't say I didn't warn you; the only glimmer of hope for me is my cute little iBook. The concept of a (somewhat) major computing company basing their major product on OSS shows there is hope. But who knows; even Apple may succumb to the power of DRM.
Haha, here's a good one from the article:
>"And I was up and running in less than one day, girl scout's honor"
Anyone want to know how long it took me to get my iBook working? Well, mind you, this is without and expierience with Macs, but it took me less than 5mins. MS is a wee bit unclear on concept, no?
Now that I've thoroughly chastised the author about his spelling..
The fact that there are less bugs on BugTraq pertaining to Windows than there are to Linux is beside the point: Most Windows users don't give a damn about posting on BugTraq. Most Linux users want to improve their OS, so they do post on BugTraq. And if Windows users did care...oh boy would BugTraq see some bugs...
But, it's not perfect. As stated by another user, it's the equivilant of putting 10 padlocks on the door, but leaving the window wide open. Here is an article about how easy it is to break chroot in a CGI based server.
So, while chroot may be good, do not rely on it soley for security.
Since, according to one of the posts down there, code is not free speech, we are screwed-eth.
Think about it: it's obvious the government doesn't want to eradicate the DMCA, but they do want to appease the [voting] linux/oss/internet croud.
Just don't get your hopes up; they also want to appease their campaign funding hollywood/MS/Whomever . So, instead, lobby to mold it to our means, since it's become obvious it is not going away.
Just turn it into a mosquito, as opposed to the flesh eating monster we have now.

Can you say geek bliss? I knew you could. =)
Per chance, do you have another reason?
See, but the problem is it slows my machine way the hell down when it 'consumes' 90%, 50%, or 30%.
Now to wait until all 24.4megs download on my horrid connection (24.0kbps right now!). Wow, I think the download status bar just twitched!
Thanks for the answer; I'm quite glad this isn't going to be a big thing (I thought it may have been upwards of 1gb, heh)

Coulda had a better vid card and 200 more mhz if I had just waited. Dammit.
If they are, well, Windows took KDE, mixed with Aqua, and then spat on it so it'd be ugly.
If it's a fake...bravo to the faker. they must be laughing their ass off...
Actually, you can do it both ways; I just think X.2.1 looks cooler than 10.2.1. =)
That is the coolest thing I've ever seen! Well, up there, anyways. Too bad I can't see the whole thing on my laptop's monitor...

TiBooks have 800mhz G4s, not 667mhz G4s.
Sheesh!
Seriously, we want to do some real research before we post? TiBooks have 800MHZ G4s! NOT 667mhz! Sheesh!
As Virt PC was booting up, scandisk ran. Then, he got the message: "An error in scandisk has occured; please run scandisk". Hehehe.
The article is there, I just read it. As did all these other folks.
God, I wish I still had a few mod points...

Wait, lemme guess: MS's next big product is...The new WinXP Agua interface? The Holmes built in search engine? eTools?
Hahahahahhahahaha.

Show me the proof, then I'll beleive you.
I'd have to say you're right. I too, beleive code is speech; we just need to prove it. And you analogy is a good one. =)
