  1. Re:Ignore all these other jerks. on Apple G4 Power Supply Woes? · · Score: 1

    I read how you solved the problem after I posted. Boy is my face red! I still think everyone else is a jerk, though! =) I'm curious as to how you adapted the ATX PS. You'd be my hero if you posted details, since I have yet to find instructions on converting a PC PS for a gigabit G4.

    >People who will take money they dont deserve will take it from anyone. Just because they start with MS doesnt mean it will end there.

    It is your opinion that they are taking money they don't deserve. It is the opinion of the court that they do deserve the money.

    The next dupe will mention the figure, 500,000, then the one after that will return us to 50 Million. So it should only take a half dozen dupes.

    Mod parent up. Someone who actually thinks about things before jumping into the fray. An extremely rare thing on /.

  6. Re:whats the point.. on Company Files Motion to Stop IE Distribution · · Score: 1

    The point is that EOLAS did win. EOLAS is due to receive over $5 million. Now EOLAS is attepting to block distribution of IE, until either it is fixed or MS pays royalty. EOLAS is privately owned by a single person, I'm given to understand. And he has no interest in selling out to MS. Please inform yourself before jiving us with your pronouncements.

    D. Much higher resale value after the show has wrapped. Whether the compy was bought by the production comppany or donated by Apple, someone get it at the end of the show, and any money derived rarely makes it back into the production budget.

    Or better, let Verisign innovate, but without the terrible encumbrance of having to administrate the .com/.net TLDs. Give that responsibility to another organization that can handle it.

    IF Verisign had vetted this idea first. Gotten feedback. Instead, their "innovation" was shoved down all our throats, with no care given to any ill-effects it might cause.

    What you originally said was If I want a Mac, I have only one OS vendor and the one and same HW vendor. Newsflash: Your post was highly unclear and highly unsucessful if this many people understood it. If it's obvious to you what you meant, it's not so obvious to others. Question: If you install Linux/BSD on a "windows" box, do you still call it a windows box?

    This should not have been modded as flamebait. I disagree with zerocool, some of his info is not up to date, but he's basically being truthful. Hopefully, he'll get a nicer car sometime soon. Honestly, the G5 dual is too expensive for me at the moment as well. If I was back doing fcp/ae work for pay, it wouldn't be too expensive. But for just fucking around, I don't NEED a G5. However, when my mac lust wins out sometime next year, it's nice to know I'll be able to score a refurb for a good price.

    I was just saying the other day how much my G5 notebook was like a portable Unix workstation. It's not as cool as my G6 notebook, though. I think of that as my portable TIME MACHINE.

    Apple uses open firmware, which is an open standard and is programmable/hackable in FORTH. Apple has used open firmware for about 4 or 5 years now. Please don't post when you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

    Mods, please mod this as redundant, since I know it's been covered numerous times. It's just certain idiots who can't be bothered to read before posting keep getting it wrong.
