Did you really, as alleged, breach your way into a juvenile's network and alter the contents of his PC? And if so, was it really over his posing as a female wanting to meet you at a Linux convention? If these things are true, why did you not exercise restraint and turn the other cheek?
I think it's really telling how healthy a community is when all they manage to do is spend time and energy flaming and mailbombing one another regarding a project's name.
Couldn't they be coding instead?
Please make sure we can run the BSD's too (NetBSD and OpenBSD). I would love to see MOL4OSX. I'd also love to see MOL working under NetBSD and OpenBSD too. I know there's been work on it in the NetBSD field.
This is why I am working on porting MOL to OS X-- much like Virtual PC for Windows, MOL4OSX will allow running Mac OS 7, 8, or 9 under Mac OS X for those that need older versions of Mac OS for appplication compatibilty. I am well into the project and expect a stable release by this August.
because the (Lombard?) I was using had such an anemic video subsystem. Running OS X 10.2 was not a pleasant experience
I have a 9560/350 running Mac OS 10.1.5, and although video performance isn't the greatest, and overall system performance can't touch today's systems, I can't complain. It's an unsupported install and it runs as fast as the first generation G4s do.
especially next to the Quicksilver I've got on my desk at work.
Well, geez, I'd hope so.
d. OS X is not going to run at all on my 7200/90, or to my satisfaction on the Lombard, and so I'm glad stuff like Bamboo is available as an alternative
I agree. This is why I am behind NetBSD and FreeBSD Power Mac efforts, as well as Linux. This is an excellent point since such systems do have life left in them for certain tasks given the right OS.
Never before in the history of comouting has the consumer had so much power and convenience available to him. What only ten years ago was viewed as a super-computing application is now freely offered to anyone with the hardware to support it-- genetic sequencing, video editing, 3D graphics, explosion reproduction. It is in this climate that we must ask ourselves what the next step will be, and where we will allow it to take us.
In 1996, SGI (formerly Silicon Graphics, Inc.) swapped out their home-grown operating system and processor-- IRIX and MIPS, respectively-- for commodity components Linux and IA32. Today, SGI is in the doghouse and fares little better than any other PC vendor. Into the gap left by SGI came Apple, who in 1996 themselves purchased what is arguably the most advanced UNIX in existance: OPENSTEP, aka Mac OS X.
Now with QuickTime 6.1 and Quartz Extreme, is there anything that can stop Apple's juggernaut-lke race to be king of the high-end server market? Only lack of hardware to run their crown jewels on. The Mac is so good at what it does, Apple is pressing Motorola and IBM for PowerPC chips that can meet the exhaustive demands of new high-end customers. The best of both breeds, Apple offers scalable, high-end UNIX to the Fortune 500 clientele as well as ease of use and simplicity to its private consumers. With things going so well, Apple seems to be on an unstoppable rise.
It wouldn't take much effort to run Linux or an embdedded OS, such as QNX, on this new platform. What would be really exciting would be to beef the RAM up a bit and get a version of Darwin working on it. That in itself wouldn't be the most useful or practical application, but it would lead to Mac OS X on a handheld.
This is excellent news for Windows users who wish to run Apache 2 from their systems. For ages, it seems, Apache 2 had a security issue under Windows XP that would not allow it to run properly under the OS. Only users wh ohad registered with Microsfot online could download the special patches that fixed these problems.
Now Apache 2 has worked around these issues while also improving security. Halleluia, I say. I can get rid of my old Linux server now and cannabalize the spare parts to augment my current XP server.

Fuck off, that's what.

Right now the priorities are

I agree. I have 1,024 megabytes of RAM in a 9650. It needs every bit of it on that system. Never swaps out.

the FreeBSD and Mac OS clients?
