I recently bought a Windows notebook, because I couldn't find any good sport diary software for Mac or Linux. In case of Windows I now use http://www.pc-sport.com/info.htm.
Especially for Apple notebook, Freitag bags http://www.freitag.ch/ are the way to go. They are made from recycled truck tarpaulin and each peace is unique.
... The java compiler is not always clever enough to figure out which classes it needs to change...
You should use Ant or even Make in your build process. They are clever enough.
... if you change a class that's used by a lot of other classes (eg your Constants class?) it will have to recompile all those classes again...
You also should think about your way of programming. Only if you refactor some code (e.g. rename an important function), there will be much to recompile. If you have many of those changes, you may have some serious design flaws in you application.
The G4 can't win the battle against modern x86 processors anymore.
But on the other side, how often do you compile a whole project? While you develop, there are mostly only very few files changed. Compiling them then is only a matter of seconds. On every platform.
The much more important question is, if Mac OS X and the applications can speed up your developing process? If you saved 10 seconds by faster editing the source files, you can spent 5 seconds for the longer compilation time and save 5 seconds for your personal recreation;)
You can't compare broken brakes with surfing the internet.
The situation is more like that you park your car in a foreign country. While you away, somebody opens your car and put drugs into a hidden place within the car. After that you drive home and pass the borders to your country. Later, another person will pick up the drugs. You will become a curier without knowing it.
It is realy hard, even for professionals, to harden a pc against attacks from the internet.
and shame to Apple. They needed an existing 130.000 lines code, many developer and one year to create just another browser. But this boy, started with 14 years to program night and day, has proven that a better and faster browser can be done in less than two years. Also it is the first program in the world that runs nativly iTunes, XMMS, Windows Media Player,... . WOW

Yes, they are really fast. But I'm a little bit amazed about those apple vs. pc speed comparisons. If speed really matters, I won't care if a Pentium, PowerPC or 6502 processor will do the work for me. I'll try to keep the TCO to a minimum and the speed to a maximum.
if you compete against Microsoft. They hope that the total cost for the Linux platform will be less than licensing cost for a technical equal Windows platform. So they can save lots of money and don't found the Xbox. And Microsoft can't use any of the public code in their proprietary software, because it's GPL.
But I do not believe, that they will release everything as GPL. New technologies like Super Audio CD (SACD) will, according to Philips and Sony, never ever appear in a PC. But releasing the driver for the drive and the filesystem could misled someone to play with the hardware and build some SACD-drives into a PC. So he could rip again the music.
After pressing the "do render" button, I really don't care if the computer want's to render one oder two hours. Because this will be hopefully the last step, of editing a movie, I'll go asleep, doing my breakfast or anything other similar productive.
If rendering will as preponderate as in the movies by Pixar,... thinking about the speed of the processor will reduce the costs. Yes, this peoples are also switching: to Linux Renderfarms.
