Typical no-nothing, press release, number regurgitating, idiot comment.
Performance wise the AMD top of the line is still a better (and cheaper) CPU than Intel's top offering. Mhz is not the answer, especially with Intel's hideous 20 stage pipeline!
Every day I wonder why Intel and M$ spend so much money on the banter I see, hear and read. Who would believe it without independant testing or personal experience and knowledge. Then I read the something like the above post and remember the mindless drones that make up society.
Wrong. If you design a chip to consume less power and thus generate less heat and design a case and computer well enough you can cool the machine without the need for a fan. The iMac and G4 Cube are fanless. The new Powerbook G4 and iBook have tiny fans that only turn on when needed...and I have never heard them turn on. Of course the G4 Tower has fans...but you need someething to cool the third-party PCI/AGP cards and hard drives.
OS X runs supported on every Apple machine released since 1997. This means any machine Apple shipped with a G3 or G4 processor (or 2) will run OS X out of the box.
It can be made to run on older machines, although unsupported of course. This is a good move because they don't weigh themselves down by going to far into the past but use the freedom of newer machines to innovate.
Not that I agree much with his policies but GB v2.0 is not pushing for more nukes. In fact he offered to further reduce the US stockpile of nuclear weapons in turn for the esstablishment of a limited missile defense sheild.
The only treaty thgat is affected is the ballistic missle treaty which stated that no missile defense systems should be built...because both countries wanted a stalemate. (USSR & USA) Treaties are not the final word, and the world changes...this missle defense shield is not aimed at Russia's nuclear arsenal and it would not be big enough to defend that number of incoming missles. The defense is meant to destroy one to maybe a dozen or less incoming missles from a rogue nation like our buddies in Iraq.
Let me get this straight, you don't want your kids to learn about the Holocuast?! That is about the craziest thing I have every heard. Those who don't learn/respect history and its mistakes are those doomed to repeat it.
If you are a real developer I think you can shell out $500 for a developer membership and get Project Builder and a whole lot more. And if you are a student developer its only $99.:-p
Some corrections from the original article post. As a registered developer I have MacOS X DP4 which was released in June and USB, Airport and my Voodoo3 2000 card(although no 3D acceleration) work just fine. Firewire I have not had a chance to play with although I have heard it is still in progress which is why this is a beta release.
You just completely described OS X. When NeXT and Apple came together they kept the Apple shell (hardware) and kept the NeXT innards (software). Kris, if you take a look at OS X's insides now you'll see the latest version of NeXTStep/OpenStep...and it is beautiful as you said!
I was just thown agast by the comment that this was "a scary form of warfare"...and ready to rant...but thatnks to the above reply hopefully you can understand warfare is alot more horrible than a net connection....
I second the call for GoLive...I've professionally used it to design four corporate websites with extensive Javascript and DHTML. It meets an beats all the 'positive' qualities of Dreamweaver and is truely crossplatform with the coming release of GoLive 4 for Windows. GoLive is on of my critical applications along with CodeWarrior, and Photoshop.

Last I checked you could purchase an OS X Beta CD for $29US to run on your G3 or G4. And in a few months the full OS will be available to everyone.

Directions are easy in any language. Simple if then loops with street names and addresses as variables can get you anywhere.

Mickey was the internal Apple code name for the mouse during development.
