How did your rhetorical question get an insightful? (he asks rhetorically)
No, of course reaction times haven't changed. But driving defensively with the two second rule, isn't it conceivable that we're safer doing 50 in a modern car than in a model A?
You are mistaken. You can choose to have photos stored at either full size or reduced screen size. In fact, with a tiny adapter, it works well as a back up device for vacation snaps.
I understand your point, I think, but I'm not commenting on that, just a point of info--
This stone age font--did you copy it into the font folder in the os9 system folder or one of the several OSX font dirs?
One of the nifty backward compatibility features of osx is that it uses any classic font (true type or postscript) that is in the classic system folder (though if there is an OSX version, it'll use that first). No need to translate it to unicode or whatever you tried to do. Classic need not be running. I use one named combinumerals that started life as a windows truetype, which i translated into a mac truetype. I also use a couple ps fonts that I got from adobe years ago. All merely copied into the OS9 fonts folder. Simple.
If it's a ps font, you'd want to have the ps font file and at least one bitmap size file, or better, a font suitcase with several sizes and faces.
They are comparing the gcc version that Apple carefully optimized for the G5 with the gcc version that performs very badly on the Pentium SSE2 instructions.
Just FYI, the testers used GCC 3.3.3, not 4.0, which, according to Apple's marketing, is the version that's optimized for the G5.
" With a compiler machine model developed by Apple in partnership with IBM, Xcode uses GCC 4.0 to optimize code for Apple's PowerPC G5 architecture."
Yeah, I'll agree--I overstated that chomping... instead of champing... isn't just plain wrong like mute point (at least they're synonymish) but I would say that even today, it's mistaken.
Lamentably, that saying is going (or as you say, has already gone--allow me to remain in denial) the way of that/which and uninterested/disinterested.
If I were born a frog, I'd probably be one of those purity of the French language nudnicks.
Think you're off topic? Off topic is my middle name!
"The moon does act as a sort of gyro stabilizer. Because of it's influence, the axis of our planet wobbles in a fairly regular pattern, giving us seasons."
Um, what? You're probably thinking of precession, which is due to the earth's rotation and takes thousands of years. Surely you remember the spinning top/bicycle wheel experiment in beginning physics?
Seasons happen because of the fairly stable tilt of the earth's axis.
As I read the sections posted by other posters, no, it wouldn't ban the 911 service, but taxpayer provided _access_ to 911.
From cmarkin's post: Sec. 51.002. DEFINITIONS. (2) "Basic local telecommunications service" means: (E) access to 911 service provided by a local authority or dual party relay service;
And from Eternal Vigilance's post: "Sec.A54.202. PROHIBITED MUNICIPAL SERVICES. A municipality or municipally owned utility may not, directly or indirectly, on its own or with another entity, offer to the public: (1) a service for which a certificate is required; (2) a service as a network provider; or (3) any telecommunications or information service, without regard to the technology platform used to provide the service."
(3) plus (E) Seems to me that this would ban, say, municipality-owned emergency call boxes along roads, which is a telecomm service to access 911.
Actually, the cluster began with dual G5 powermac towers (looking kinda strange in racks). They later changed out to the current off the shelf G5 xserves with ECC memory. You probably mis-remembered the reason for the changes as G4 vs G5 rather than non-ECC vs ECC memory.
I think there was an intermediate update to non-ECC G5 xserves, but I'm not sure about that and I'm too lazy to look it up.
But to be apt, not only does the music store have to lose money (or as you say, make a miniscule profit) but it must also be a necessary part of the package. --It's tough to use a blade with out a handle.
This is where for me the analogy breaks. I use the music store but don't own an mp3 player. I know several people who own ipods but don't use the music store. From a post below, it seems all of Australia owns ipods, but can't use the music store.
"A question: can a Mac mouse/keyboard from an old G3 system be used with the Mini?"
If they're usb, yes. If adb, a couple companies sell adb to usb adapters. I use one (sorry, forgot the manufacturer) to connect my ancient extended II (IMO, the best keyboard ever made).

I think man_over mistyped. 5.2.3 is the most recent version for the Mac OS (X, anyway) I believe. 5.1.7 is the latest for OS9.
I haven't touched gimp, but after reading several posts such as yours about the need for mdi with gimp, i'm curious--is the main part of your frustration with the gimp iface that these windows should be implemented as tool palettes? Or are the windows in question for some other use?
Over the past decade plus i've worked with pretty much every gui made, and have found that mdi (especially microsoft's implementation) is generally the worst way to implement a document-based interface. (I'll split a hair here and say that tabbed browsing, while related to the mdi concept, is not an mdi implementation.)
Perhaps the need for gimp in mdi stems from kde copying msoft's implementation of the task bar?
I don't understand what you mean by mp3s being locked away in the itunes database. The files remain untouched either in a directory hierarchy by artist and album, or at your option, where ever you had them before loading them into itunes.
being regular mp3 files, they retain id3 tags and album art. Nothing is locked away except the itunes specific info such as the star ratings, number of plays, that sort of thing.
as far as being useless, i suppose that's up to opinion--i gather you would rather use two programs where one, imo, does it better.
Your post sounds like a troll (certainly not a flame), but your name isn't A. Coward, so I'm guessing you didn't mean it that way. (your mistaken implication being that the quote in the parent you responded to was incorrect.) So, I'll respond:
You forgot one MS app--internet explorer. There have been a couple security updates in the last year that dealt with internet explorer vulnerabilities. IIRC, not biggies, but there all the same.
p.s. outlook 2001 (and outlook express do "exist for the mac". They're os9 apps though--outlook works just fine in classic.
I hear you--I'm getting ready to get a 12" powerbook. And now apple gives us an equally weighted choice between price and features. Stupid Apple!
For me, I prize portability in a laptop over speed--I want a laptop rather than a luggable desktop replacement. So, the 12" form factor is much better than the 14, especially, as you state, they have the same number of pixels. However, some people do like the bigger pixels which displays bigger text. I, on the other hand, adjust the text scaling within a program if text is too tiny--but to each his own, I suppose. So, if you're like me, the 14" drops from consideration.
The choice now becomes: $500 versus thinner, lighter, brighter display, DVI + extended desktop at a good resolution (which you won't be using), better keyboard, more RAM capacity (though to get the higher total, the memory cards are extremely spendy at the mo), faster cpu (not just the mhz, but twice the cache), faster RAM bus.
Last is the software bundle. Appleworks (comes with ibooks) is a great app for opening yer average Word and Excel files. --besides it being a competent office-type app that does what people need to do. The powerbook comes with some good graphics utils but trial versions of MS office and filemaker. Omnigraffle is a terrific drawing/charting program (think visio with an understandable interface). But do you need that?
If you are near an apple store or apple reseller, the best thing to do would be to burn some of your files to CD, round up a few music CDs, and your digital camera, and hop on down for some quality time. Oh, and take the backpack/briefcase you carry your current laptop in to see how the apple books fits and feels. The only benchmark that matters is the one you do yourself.
Whichever you decide on, I have only one hard recommendation: don't buy apple's ram. cost's too much compared to any reputable memory seller.
One itty bitty detail--itunes won't transcode protected files. Have to do either the CD burn+rip or the audio intercept. Other than that, great directions!
"I don't know if the want to bring the price down... at least not yet. Remember, Apple has never, ever stated that they are a computer company for those on a budget. Apple likes to charge a lot for their stuff."
To put it a bit less cynically, Apple tries for a profitable margin and increases features rather than drop prices (or both) when refreshing their products.

http://www.apple.com/macosx/developertools/It would have been nice if they'd used the version of GCC that comes with 10.4. Doubt it would have changed the numbers greatly, however.
You wouldn't find that a curious concept if you had to commute in Redmond/Seattle.
Just a couple small points--ibooks don't have dvi out. Only the powerbooks do.
Also, to drive a 30" lcd (at least apple's 2560 x 1600 one), you'll need one heck of an vid card upgrade. One that does dual link dvi, in fact.
a dual core mini with a 6800 ultra for 500 bux? heck yeah, count me in.
Any CDs you've burned, you get to keep. Of course, in order to burn a CD, you have to pay 99 cents per track on top of your monthly subscription.

Actually, even here in the semi-literate US, "chomping..." is a twisting of "champing..." It's as incorrect as "mute point" and "intensive purposes".
