I wanted a Mac very much, but they were very expensive. Furthermore, no one was cloning them, like the PC was being cloned.
Also - there was no Mac-like operating system out there. Someone told me Apple had patterned the microcode or something, the first time I had heard of that happening.
THEN - I heard about this company making Mac clones! Oh Boy! I started investigating, only to have Steve Jobs buy the company and close it. This is the sort of restraint of trade that really bothers me.
So much so, I went out and bought an XT clone instead and the rest is history. I have never owned a Mac.
Keep in mind that the Beatles were so new and different that any scalar rating algorithm like this would have dumped them, for say, The Four Freshmen or some such.
On the 68000 paging memory in and out was effectively impossible because there was no program counter to tell the OS what part of what instruction the new page's first byte was and no register to tell what other registers had been auto incremented so the CPU could undo the instruction and start it again in the new page.
The 68010 was created entirely with these features just so modern OSs would work. It was like a service patch for hardware...
and actually make the whole movie like they made the trailer, they'll have an instant classic on their hands. I can hear AICN's prison bitch squeals now.
But - Hollywood and the tapeworms who run it have no guts. I'll be very surprised if they're not overruled by some beancounter.
Seeing as how knowing the cron jobs is a green security level and the web developer is only a yellow security level and knowing anything above your security level means you are a commie mutant traitor.

Why didn't they do this on ships?
I read about sailors on ships at sea in the 1700's running out of water and suffering thirst. I have always wondered, why didn't they crack it off from sea water?
When I was in high school in the 70's and did drafting I could see any object on the paper no matter how many thin tracing lines I used. It just jumped out of the web. I could draw any 3D object at all, any perspective, you name it.
But all my asstard teacher could complain about was my lettering and the fact that my corners weren't perfect.
If you have a triangle on a plain with three points x1, y1 x2, y2 and x3, y3 and you select a point on the plane x4, y4, how do you prove the point is in the triangle or not?
The obnoxious govt. sweeps their raggety-ass country for any kids with math ability - ships them off to a miraculously clean facility in the ass-end of nowhere - teaches them to use the sparkly porcelain toilet, gives them real food, clean cloths and a warm bed, then after two days of this heaven explains to them that they are going to learn certain stuff here - they don't HAVE to of course, they can go back to their previous barefoot in the cold manure lifestyle any time they want.
Being BRIGHT kids, they catch on right away.
The thing about countries like this is they can build ONE (1) awesome facility as good as anything anywhere, if they like. It would not be hard to find committed communist academics to teach there - (I remember working at a company with this British kid with a Masters in Comp. Sci. who was a *pathological* Marxist)
But it all goes tits up.
Lessons start. Math, intro to computers, and lots of political indoctrination.
Pretty soon they are on the internet and the sun rises. There's another world out there. Sure, the govt. erects a firewall but, and think about it, these guys are trained to go THROUGH firewalls, right? That's the whole point right? Right? It HAS to go wrong. It HAS to!
If the school does it's job they can't stop these kids from surfing the net. If they can't surf the net, they will be infective.
They discover Slash Dot. They discover CNN.COM and the BBC. They discover they have been lied to all their lives.
Then - they discover PR0N - and there's no going back.
Some of them will work for the commies anyway. Others will start cudgeling their brains for a way to get out of NK. Planet Hollywood for them.
If the commies are smart they'll start to shop these kids around to troublemakers everywhere the way terrorists do - Irish ex-Green Berets wind up teaching demolitions to Hammas so the IRA can get RPGS for his services (this actually happened)
You could wind up with a cynical, atheist, chain smoking ('Destroy America except for Marlboroughs') skinny NK Hacker School grad on site in LA supporting El Quida.
Its SO William Gibson.
As the UoH basically invented computer communications by using a discarded satellite to create the ALOHA system, the basic mathematics of which govern Ethernet and the Internet.
I'd be more interested in the models and textures - but you have to remember that the people running these things are selfish opportunistic pricks who don't give a rats ass about anything but lining ther pockets with This Weeks Gimmick.
They just shit canned the art and moved on to the next scam.
The tapeworms who run Hollywood are some of the most stone-hearted criminals anywhere.
To think they're afraid of MS's business practices is like the Hells Angel's rejecting a recuit because he's too tough.
Slashdot Mirror
I was running BBS's in the 80s.
There is always a few clowns who like to post crap - they get real tough safe in their rooms. I call it 'modem machismo'.
The way to handle this is to hammer the offensive message immediately. No need to kick the guy, unless he is incorrigible.
Works for flame wars too. (Which must be discouraged immediately)
It's a little like being the bouncer in a bar. How long do you think the bouncer would tolerate a punch up?
Ah yes - Mac clones.
I wanted a Mac very much, but they were very expensive. Furthermore, no one was cloning them, like the PC was being cloned.

They already have. It's Cheney and Bush.
Bluetooth is a known security nightmare. It was BORN BAD. After all the experience with hackers and worms etc the industry learned NOTHING.
Bluetooth HAS to have streaming crypto and verification ala Bruce Schneier's Helix.
The fact that it hasn't is CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE and typical of an industry that just doesn't get it.
until some bigshot gets Parkinson's Disease. Then, a miracle will take place and stem cell research will be placed on the front burner.

I think it has become abadonware. And after I donated to it, too.... :-)
was the cause of the project I just involuntarily left (it was canceled) to flounder, and will be the cause of the one they are on now.
The 68010 was created entirely with these features just so modern OSs would work. It was like a service patch for hardware...
I was working at Victor Canada when it came out - and our American Ceo sued the Jackson Five Victory Tour for infringing on our name....

It made stars out of Woodward and Bernstien.
After that, people who normally would have gone into show biz went into journalism instead.

Am I missing the obvious here, or was it them?
You touched a nerve with this one.

I could hardly wait for CAD to come along.

Yeah, Manga is funny that way.... There's nothing in the books or anime to imply Sai is gay either...
I Thank you for the confirmation. And so does James Martin, whose book "Communication Satellite Systems" ISBN 0-13-153168-8 taught me about it.

It's ads are actually GOOD - I've learned to pay attention to them when on Google. I might get this adbar...
They've played two games now and I cannot find the moves ANYWHERE - anyone have any idea where they are?
