  1. Re:You give me hope at least on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1

    That is very strange. OS X has ran flawlessly for me since January. I run it on a G4 Cube. I'd say your problems are not the OS but the hardware you're running it on. Is your ram from Apple or did you purchase it elsewhere? Shitty ram will do the funkiest things to a system. Hopefully if you bought the laptop new it's still under warranty. Don't hesitate calling Apple up and telling them your PowerBook is defective, explain what's going on and have them fix it. My Cube did some funky things, the OS never crashed but the box would randomly turnon/shutoff and froze while booting several times as well. Apple fixed it in 2 days under warranty, sent it back, and it's been the most stable box I've ever owned since. Apple's support is second to none. In anycase, goodluck.

  2. nice looking browser on Chimera 0.2 Available for Download · · Score: 2, Informative
    Launches about twice as fast as Mozilla which is a plus. According to top, it uses just about as much memory as Mozilla though.


    639 Navigator 4.2% 0:24.55 7 98 431 8.43M 25.0M 27M 108M


    638 Mozilla 1.4% 0:10.08 6 86 308 15.4M 24.2M 31.7M 96.9M


    It's really difficult to want to continue using this browser when it doesn't even support downloading. One would expect more from a 10mb download. Mozilla isn't much bigger yet has a lot more features. All the bugs that prevented previous builds from accessing certain essental webpages i go to have been fixed. The text entry field is a lot Slower than I'm able to type it, kind of annoying. It's a good looking browser that ties in nicely with OS X. Get download support in the next release, then I'll consider switching.

  3. my experience on Gene Therapy Cures "Bubble Boy" · · Score: 2, Informative
    I wrote a paper this last semester in college on embryonic stem cell research. The possibilities in this field of research are endless. It's certainly not suprising to me this discovory occured in Europe. It's unfortunate the position the United States has taken towards stem cell research. It's pretty much closed to door and made the possibility of discoveries such as this very unlikely here in the U.S.

    www.nih.gov/news/stemcell/index.htm has the latest information about what's taking place in the U.S. in regards to stem cell research. It's a great resource for anyone wanting to learn more about this amazing new science.

  4. Re:warnings get sony off the hook? on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 0, Troll

    I don't see how discriminating against homosexuals has anything to do with Sony trying to protect it's property from digital music pirates. One must realize, not until that past few years has the computer become a "digital hub". Before, people used to play their CDs the good old fashion way, in their home or car stereo. Since that was what audio CDs were originally designed to do, Sony really isn't taking anything away from the consumer. If it states all over the CD and case that it will not work on a PC or Mac then I guess it's not much different than that sticker on your car that says "Unleaded Gasoline Only". If you're stupid enough to put diesel fuel in, don't go crying about how your car wont start.

  5. two servers on Microsoft/Unisys Unix-bashing Site Runs FreeBSD · · Score: 5, Informative

    They are running two servers at two different IPs. Apparently 130.94.214.143 is running their Windows 2000 IIS server and 198.63.57.204 is still running the Apache server on FreeBSD.

  6. so much for that on Square and Disney Team Up for Kingdom Hearts · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As I was browsing through the screenshots, IGN suddenly made all the media subscription only. Must be a clever ploy at getting the slashdot effect to work for you.

    Below is an excerpt from:

    http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_tip s.asp_,

    showing how you can strip Windows 2000/XP of unwanted services and applications.

    To dramatically expand the list of applications you can remove from Windows XP after installation, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open the sysoc.inf file. Under Windows XP Professional Edition, this file will resemble the following by default:

    The entries that include the text hide or HIDE will not show up in Add/Remove Windows Components by default. To fix this, do a global search and replace for ,hide and change each instance of this to , (a comma). Then, save the file, relaunch Add/Remove Windows Components, and tweak the installed applications to your heart's content.
