  1. Re:I would like to see justification for this on Doom 3 Announced for Mac · · Score: 1
    Do you really expect Aspyr to re-thread the entire game to better support dual processors?

    Yes. :-)

  2. Re:Good to see... on Doom 3 Announced for Mac · · Score: 1

    And an Xbox. Halo 2 will be out there soon.

  3. Re:Whatcha need on Doom 3 Announced for Mac · · Score: 4, Insightful
    it's doesn't need 64bit on a PC, why would it need it on a Mac?

    Because it's compiled that way?
    We're gonna know for sure when it hits the shelves (of our favorite torrent trackers).

  4. Re:Short-lived? on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 1
    There is no need for ditto. A simple
    cp -r /Volumes/ipodname/iPod_Control/Music ~/someplace
    does the trick.
  5. Re: Simplicity on New Apple iPod with Photo Capabilities · · Score: 1

    If you don't like in-ear phones, you might want to try the Koss Porta Pro. Excellent thingy!

  6. Re:Just the name brings back memories on Cray XT-3 Ships · · Score: 2, Funny
    During the times of no activity what does it do?

    It creates random noise that is then fed into the Seti project so our computers have something to do in times without activity.

  7. Re:So compare it to...... on Virginia Tech Supercomputer Up To 12.25 Teraflops · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bang for the buck would make the Apple system better.

    Sure, but what would you rather say: "I just bought an Apple computer" or "I just bought a Cray computer"?

  8. Re:Very simple question... on Mac OS X Panther On A 25MHz Centris 650 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just for the record: the Plus *was not* able to run it at full speed. I know, because I had one - and I always lost against those darn Mac II users who were simply faster... ;)

  9. Re:An Apple First on Mac OS X Running On Xbox · · Score: 1

    That company is called Friendtech. Find out here.

  10. Re: Newton then and now on The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware · · Score: 1

    It is touchscreen. Inout is done with a stylus (or finger) using the dreadful grafity 2.0 software. Which is okay after you get used to it. Takes about a week.

  11. Re: Newton then and now on The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware · · Score: 1
    a nice UI to addresses, a datebook, TODOs, and misc-menus are something that many cellphones don't do that well.

    Real cell phones do that quite well. E.g. Sony Ericsson's P800/P900 devices are great organizers. I know, because I haven't been using my good ol' MessagePad 2100 since own one: clicky

  12. Re:Lucas, Meet Jobs. Jobs, meet Lucas. on The Newton O.S. Creeps Toward New Hardware · · Score: 1

    c) reminds me of the early days of Mac OS X. I guess there were about as many developers with NeXT knowledge as there are now with Newton skills. *sigh*

  13. OS/2 - "consumer friendly"? on After the X Prize · · Score: 1
    The NT codebase wasn't "consumer friendly" until Win2k. OS/2 was, IMO.

    Everyone who ever tried installing OS/2 beg to differ... ;-)

  14. Re:You Know It's Funny... on The Secret Behind the iPod Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    Personally, I use four mouse buttons: the usual three plus a fourth one to activate Exposé. That is so handy, I really don't understand why Apple still sell one button mice.

  15. Re:Happenned to me, too. on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 1

    Interesting collection... *shudder*

  16. Re:For his sake on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 1
    You're not allowed to put pics of children under 13 online without parental consent.

    I am. Guess that's got something to do with the country I am living in. European law seems to be pretty relaxed about those issues.

  17. dd: dangerous, dude. on Multicast Imaging for Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    AFAIR dd also duplicates the factory defects and the grown defects lists when used on whole drives - pretty bad behaviour for different hard disks...

  18. Re:ZTerm on Accurate ANSI Emulation in Mac OS X? · · Score: 4, Funny
    The only problem is ZTerm doesn't support ssh or telnet.

    Why not wire your G5 to a machine that does? If you're serious about that ANSI thing, a missing serial port won't stop you, will it? ;-)

  19. Re:Open Office is a joke on the Mac on Excellent Tutorial for OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why the hell would you want to help Sun anyway? To have a decent and free office software running natively on OS X. That's why.

  20. Re:Most inconsistent user interfaces on Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview · · Score: 1
    Yep Safari, that's true.

    The first thing I did when Safari was released was removing the brushed metal interface. Soon afterwards I realised that a white interface looks pretty bad ontop of a (mostly) white web page - thus I changed it back and lived happily ever after.

    The End.

  22. Re:Design == form over function? on Apple Design Award Winners Announced · · Score: 1
    Vektor 3 sports a game analysis feature - it's not exactly what you'ree looking for but maybe it could still be a useful thing for learning better chess.

    Anyway, it's probably the best-looking chess software ever and always a pleasure to use.

  23. Re:RIP Floppies... on 2.8TB in a Power Mac G5? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When buying a Mac you can choose between two things: CD burner or DVD burner. That should be about as much "standard removable cross platform convient AND GLOBALLY AND UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED removable media" as you could ever need (until 2005 that is).

  24. Not only Nokia series 60 are affected... on Worm Developed for Nokia Series-60 Phones · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...but also other Symbain OS phones like Sony Ericsson P800/P900 and Motorola a920/a925.

  25. Re:uk + fr + de != eu on iTunes Europe Goes Live · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why not all of Europe?
    Well, probably, because they could not agree with the record companies. That's why.
