For me, it's the many gyms that broadcast the audio from their TVs on various FM frequencies. I realize that many are moving away from that toward hard plugs in the machines themselves, but it's such a pain to have your MP3 player and be completely unable to tune in to the TV if you want to.
I know, a very tiny inconvenience, but then, as one of the parents said, how much could the extra circuitry really be?
Evidently my Pismo has an 8MB AGP ATI-something card in it.
Is this card already benefitting from QE? I heard requirements of 32 or 16 MB, but what about 8? Does 10.2 do what it can with my 8 MB card, or does it just ignore it completely when it comes to QE? (And if it doesn't can I turn it on?)
Wow I've always wanted to do that... I was thinking about it this morning! You know that screen saver Marine Aquarium? (If you don't, go download it from VersionTracker!) Well, now I've got fishes swimming around my desktop!
The DMG burns as a "Disc Image" in Toast. (Which is how, um, my friend told me he burned it) I think it would follow that trying to burn it as an ISO might just be a good bet.
The speed boost I've received by installing 10.2 can very well be described as amazing. I'm on a G3/450 with the oldskool 16MB Rage 128 running the new 10.2 developer release, and everything is unarguably faster for me. I don't know about this whole "Quartz Extreme" thing, but if must be pretty damn cool if I could get such a speed boost even without it being active (because my graphics card is so outdated).
This can only get better and better. A few 3rd party apps don't run, but the speed! Oh the speed!
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
IBM's PowerPC roadmap, which is completely devoid of any reference to the AltiVec acceleration unit, calls for chip architecture to exceed the 2 GHz barrier in the coming year.
While keeping mum on specifics, the company did say that its upcoming chips will be multi-core, meaning that several processor cores can be arranged on a single chip. This technology allows the possibility of four-processor or even eight-processor configurations.
Motorola also has said it plans to exceed the 2 GHz barrier in the coming year and is calling for the same I/O improvements and pipeline upgrades offered by IBM.
Anyway, G4/G5 chips are looking to pick up in MHz very steadily, and I can't wait for the day in the next few months (and with hope it'll be at MWNY) when my dual 1.6 is tearing everything apart. And you can just imagine when you'll be able to buy a 4-processor G5 running at 2+ GHz each.
Cocoa runs much more smoothly and much faster on new G4 OS X systems than Carbon can. They are really not even directly comparable when you get down to it, but being the owner of a great old B&W G3/450, I can tell you I would jump on anything Cocoa over anything Carbon any day of the week.

Indeed; my Spotlight key is F13.

In other news, Apple is opening it's 375th retail store...
Jesus, sometimes I just love this school :) Parties at the eating clubs may get old, but there's always cool shit going on.
The RIAA et al would shit their pants if they saw the (internal) network set up here at Princeton.
After reading some other comments I'm going to take that as a no.

... it's as hard to learn as the bloody language. (And no matter how much you know, you could probably do better)

See for yourself. Those Microsoft jokes suddenly aren't quite as funny... :)
