Except for that a lot of games use quite a bit of inline ASM and other x86-specific stuff in their code, so this will help a bit. It's not always the API(Doom3 was openGL and look at how long it took). I doubt this will hurt porting, it pretty much can only help.
This would not cause a Mandrake/CDRW type screwup. This application simply enables some quality checking in the drive by sending it the correct ATAPI requests. The Mandrake/CDRW thing was with LG drives, where the IDE_FLUSH_BUFFERS command made the drive flush its firmware too. This was by no means Mandrake's or Linux's fault(it existed in other distros).
How often does anyone use it for either purpose? I find its splinter-finding capacities would be limited by that you can't then pull the splinter out because you have a huge knife in your hand. Of course for splinters not in your hand it would work, but those sure aren't common. And the magnifing glass seems mighty small for fire-starting....I still think it would have been more useful on cybertool...
One word, and that is Cybertool, the greatest Swiss Army knife ever made. T10, T15, phillips, flat, knives, saws, pin, toothpick, pen, there's nothing it doesn't have, besides a magnifying glass(they have one on the Camper but not the Cybertool where I'd think it would be more useful) and a USB drive.
Except for that in the PPC-on-X86, there will be less OS overhead because the PPC emulator box can catch the OS calls and send them to the X86 OS, removing the overhead of running a whole OS in the emulator, and making the OS calls out of the emulator run at near-native speed, making the only truly "emulated" thing the app's execution itself. For more on how this works see qemu's ppc linux on x86 linux emulation or x86 on ppc like Darwine(wine on PPC) uses.
Especially when you notice that when MS wanted a TRI-CORE, 3.2Ghz PPC IBM was all over it. I see corporate favoritism...but Intel won't be much better...
The OS X calculator sure doesn't: 9533.24 - 215.10 =9318.139999999999. Another user wrote in to MacAddict magazine about this with some number around 40, I believe.
Seeing as how PearPC is at about 20% real CPU and qemu can emulate Linux/PPC apps quickly, both having no apple insider access I'd say the PPC emulation will be fairly fast like about 60-70% real CPU speed because the overhead will be lower.
I agree with parent; I'm lefty and have always used right-handed mousing. The only person I know who mouses left-handed is right-handed, and he mouses lefty only in FPS's, where he sets the movement/use controls to the keypad.
FYI 2.25:1 is 20.25:9. So I admit I did state it the wrong way but it's technically about the same size-wise. And I managed to get the audio to sync; the stream isn't quite correctly made.
The quality of that one sucks. Please do not download it. It is a MPEG-2 DVD ISO, making it big, and is very low resolution(less then 300 lines). It's also 20:9 and the audio is out of sync. Don't download it, you'll be pissed like I was.
They're pretty near the top. One is larger but transparent so it's not bad. The other is small but has a black background that goes into Lord Dooku in the lightsaber fight scene, amongst other's faces. Do not d/l the one from TPB. It has 20:9 and very out of sync audio. In addition to being a lowres DVD ISO, which is large to download and very annoying.
This isn't a cam, it's a workprint. I know because I have it. It's fairly low-res MPEG-2, but the sound is fairly good. Only problem is the two workprint timers at the top.
The controller images were gathered from ourcolony.net, the microsoft marketing for Xbox360 similar to ilovebees.com. So they probably real but of a prototype. And notice the lack of the back+start buttons where they normally are.
Uhm...dell is selling SERVERS for $200. A server is not SMALL, nor is it QUIET, two of the main features of a Mac Mini. Try traveling with your $200 dell server. It will be a pain. Then travel with a Mac Mini, a small LCD(15 in or so) and a keyboard and mouse. You can stuff them all in a backpack and take them carryon, if you don't want to use them on a plane. Cheap($700 total) alternative to a laptop(it's probably faster and it's sure cheaper then an iBook) for those who never use the system on the plane anyway and just need it in their hotel/friend's house/whatever.
Not if you have an older Intel CPU(Like probably 60% of people). The only thing you can do on these systems is spindown hard drives and optical drives. You can't spindown fans because the CPU is always at full speed and always needs them, and Linux's sleep/suspend support is horrible.
Not really. I have friends who have MS antispyware, AdAware, Spybot, Firefox, and Norton AV, and still get quite a bit of spyware. The fact is the antispyware people are always one step behind by the very nature of spyware, and once you've got even one infection it spawns enough more that one always gets past and completely breaks the system to the point where anti-spyware apps often don't even run right. And even the objects that anti-spyware apps detect often don't get removed totally and show up on the next boot(yes, even if you run the anti-spyware apps in safe mode and on the next boot).
Except that it's $249 for the most basic kit sold to develop for the ME, and for about $120(99 Euro) you can have this unit, which is the same thing minus some of the cables/fanciness, and preflashed with uClinux. I say the Klienhenz device wins the value debate here(as a starter kit), and if you have a Klienhenz serial board you could purchase the DCMEs for $50 each giving you the best deal.

Yes I know, my post was designed as a joke, seeing as how its parent was a joke also.

Yes. It's called "fat binaries" and can even allow your app to run on multiple OSes.

I'm thinking along the lines of a custom memory controller/chipset/BIOS, because any simple software blocks will be hacked.

I don't think so.

OK folks, there we have it!

Actually, Longhorn is the name of a location in Canada, just as other Microsoft products have been, such as Whistler, Avalon, and Whidby.
