I agree that is going to be great but then you will have 2 OS' running at the same so you are still going to lose some performance. I am dual booting and it is great!
For someone like me who uses 75% mac and have to do a few PC things for work this is great. I travel a lot and I am about to go on my first roadshow in a week where I wont have to lug around 2 computers as I have been for the past 3 years. I have tried Virtual PC, Qemu and even remote desktop and nothing was ever a complete solution, this is. So all those asking why, thats why!
They may be banned for safety but I fly every week and the last thing I want is the fat, lound and obnoxious guy sitting next to me from SF to the east coast to be sitting there yammering on his phone for 6 hours so everyone can hear his conversation. Get me wireless internet then that will be progress but please never allow cell phones on during flights. They already let you use them during taxi'ing after landing and Ill admit it is the first thing I do but I only check messages I hear all those frigging salesmen from the back of the plane being lound and obnoxious.
What I also find interesting is that $12,000 is a lot to a college student but a group like the RIAA probably spent more than that on attorneys to research the case, they are truly just trying to slam and don't really care if there is any true compensation.
As apple fools jokes I CLI'd into my co workers OS X box and played fittier happier through the osascript command! Apple and Radiohead, does it get any better?!
Id also have to add that I am a high school drop out and a very successful programmer, I don't think I'd trust a high school drop out to build me a bridge. So to everyone out there. Code Monkeys UNITE!
I agree, I understand that companies are beholden to share holders but what about also being beholden to the communities and economies that support you.
This is great that it is ready for production use, are there any sitess out there that go over the pitfalls and things to look out for with upgrading from 3 to 4?
Here is a thought, I haven't used the service yet so they may already have it, but because it is already in electronic format why not sell you the content on CD for the full price of the book? That way incase THE SITE GETS SLASHDOTTED you can still get the materials. Just a thought.
Ok so Omniweb is going to make a browser based off of Apple and Open Source work which is cool (like chimera based off of mozilla), would windows developers build better and different browsers based off of Explorer if Microsoft were to open its source and if so how would that hurt MS, I mean chimera to me actually enhances Mozilla (love them both). Thanks for any comments.
Thats a very good point seeing how one of the Congressmen are from Washington... Anyone know of any companies that have declared war on Open Source in Washington state???? The letter that they are passing around is soooo vague, this really pisses me off when congress doesn't do any research into things and instead just follow what thier money men tell them or some analyst, ugh! Please everyone write to the morons and let them know that thier thinking is flawed.
It would be a great thing if teachers could entice children to take advantage of these free books to extend literacy. This could also possibly show the benefits of shortening the copyrights that keep getting extended by allowing educational institutions distribute the content and reduce overhead costs at the same time.
Didn't you know that Google is going around and buying up all the search engines out there... oh crap I got that backwards... all the good search engines are out there buying google because it is a superior tool
Whats sad is you are probably correct. It makes me sick that people like this go after great companies like google just hoping that they will settle out of court. I hope google lets it go to court and then counter sues the attorney for court costs! I don't believe google ever guarantees any sort of page placement so i hope they get a tech savy judge who just laughs in the plantiffs face and throwns it out as a frivolous lawsuit!
No more Microshaft stuff on my beautiful OS X!!!! I can't wait to use the beta, just wish I could do more than just beta test, but you do what you can, I hope all OS X programmers help out this project where they can!
Again thank you Motorola for screwing us! I have a small feeling that IBM can be counted on a little more that motorola, because IBM sells its power pc based chips to more that just apple, where if I am not mistaken motorola only sells to Apple so when times gets tough for Motorola like they have for the past few years the R&D for power PC chips drop.

U think this is actually on topic, if he is one of the people who did this, they are geniuses but probably have noooo lives
