  1. Re:Apple Laptop Keyboards Unsuitable for Unix User on 10-Hour PowerBook Battery · · Score: 1

    You use openbsd so you must have a good grasp on how to optimize things - use this with the mac http://www.resexcellence.com/hack_html_01/10-30-01 .shtml

  2. Re:Sold Out to Apple on Ogg Support For iTunes · · Score: 1

    Just because he has TiBook doesnt mean he uses OS X exclusively or at all. I bet he installed linux on there as soon as he got one

  4. Too bad on Intergraph Injunction Against Intel Suspended For Now · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Intel is not the only chip manufacturer out there. AMD with its clawhammer is looking to be a better option anyway. Its just too bad teh general public doesnt know this. The same goes for Microsoft. Other alternatives are availible but alas Joe consumer just uses what everyone else does.

  5. Re:end of world? on Toyota to Move to All Hybrid Vehicles By 2012 · · Score: 1

    On Dec 21, 2012 the Mayan calendars predicts something tha will change the world, always taken as the end of the world. Perhaps it will be the widespread exceptance of these hybrid cars. Hopefully it will be the end of teh world cause i like my gasoline engines, plus it would be cool if teh world ended on my birthday. That way I could go out in a bang.

  6. In all electric cars ... on Toyota to Move to All Hybrid Vehicles By 2012 · · Score: 1

    It costs about $10,000 - $15,000 to replace the batteris if you get in an accident or they fail. Im sure hybrids will be mighty expensive to replace also assuring me that this wont catch on.

  9. as for the above equipment on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1

    since you will have an apple mobo everything software wise should be 100% compatible. You can run OS 9, linux, unix, bsd, darwin, and any version of OS X.

  10. It is possible to build one on Build Your Own PowerPC? · · Score: 1

    Motherboards can be found at http://www.macresq.com and http://www.shrevesystems.com/ although a lot of times they are refurbished and processors new can be found here http://www.sonnettech.com/ and http://eshop.macsales.com/ . Of course if you have time all these things can be found on http://www.ebay.com/. And for everything else use http://www.pricewatch.com/ for ram, video card, etc. As for specifications on each board starting from g3s go to http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.html.

  11. Re:If for some reason on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    As for the roms I meant they would probably reimplement the feature. As for the the cards I was just plain wrong.

  12. If for some reason on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    apple HAD to switch and use x86 it would use propriety hardware and would most likely not support other x86 OSs out of the box. This is the same idea that most pc graphics cards cannot be flashed to be used on macs. Cards made for apple have special built in apple roms and things.

  18. This is a good thing on Jaguar Free for K-12 Teachers · · Score: 1

    because a lot of schools have imacs and older ox capable machines but they never upgrade right away. Now they can upgrade for freewithout worrying where the money came from. If you are complaining that you had to pay for the upgrade when now you can get it for free, guess what? When technology comes out it is always more expensive than when you wait.
