... what lead good ol' Stan to plunge into cheap, two-bit pornified cartoons on cheap, two-bit cable stations. Seriously. What was possessing the man? Or is that tail saved for the sequel "Stan Lee: The Rise and Fall of Cheap Cable Cartoon Trash"?
On the upside, tracing individual packages of products means more precise recalls. Also, companies will be able to track all the steps a product went through, from manufacturing, to storage, to delivery, to shelf life, to consumer. Yes, it has got its privacy issues but the benefits exist as well.
If it was possible, Apple would already have put limitations to keep them from doing it. Apple does not want you to put OS X on a Pegasus board. Therefore, my money is on the fact that it is not possible. I'll eat crow when someone shows one of those machines running OS X native. I'm not too good to not be willing to swallow my pride if I'm wrong. All I'm saying is my money says it's not possible. At least not without doing something "illegal" in Apple's eyes.
Ahem. Then you show us how to get OS X to run on SmartFirmware. It won't work. My whole point has been and still is that you need Apple's OF. Not Pegasos'. OS X will not run on SmartFirmware.
Wrong. www.openfirmware.org details much more than the site you referenced. Among those details:
"The IEEE-1275 Open Firmware standard was not reaffirmed by the OFWG and has been officially withdrawn by IEEE. Unfortunately, this means it is unavailable from the IEEE."
Also, the standards are there as "Open" but Apple's implementation is not for anyone but Apple to use. You can go to their dev site and dig all you want. You will not find Apple's OF for you to use on a Pegasus board. Just because it's Open Firmware, doesn't mean you can use it on your PPC board. All that the standard does is define a boot standard. Standards that other companies can use as well as Apple. But that doesn't mean that can reverse engineer Apple's implementation. You try it and watch Apple Legal descend on you like buzzards on roadkill.
Without Apple's very tightly sealed and not-at-all-licensed Open Firmware, you are S.O.L. It's a nice idea but I just don't see it being possible without some serious hacks to the hardware and/or Darwin. Blood, sweat, and tears.
Yes. But it's really not all that. Mostly marketing. They just decided to sweep the floors and offer some bottled water to the tourists. Blah. I say it still smells.
On topic: E.T. sucked, so did Raiders of the Lost Ark (Atari 2600), and Pong is just so overrated.
From the article:
Part of the allure is their high cost and supposed rarity. Yet diamonds are plentiful - De Beers maintains vast stockpiles and tightly controls supply.
Vast stockpiles isn't all. There are beaches in South Africa that are littered with diamonds. And if you try to go onto those beaches: a bullet in your back. De Beers is more evil than OPEC.
If you want publishing and graphics apps, then why aren't you running OS X? It's all there and you get UNIX. No, you can't build your own box and you have to buy an Apple branded machine. Big deal. If you want those apps and a command line OS, you have to be willing to sacrifice something.
Now I am forced to upgrade AGAIN just after I poured all this money into my color Zire so I could finally play Giraffe and Minesweeper like I thought they were meant to be played. But now they're telling me that I can play Tetris multiplayer and be the envy of all my Clie lovin' friends?!? Well, hell yeah, I'll buy it!
What's that? Something about a GBA for 1/3 the price?? LALALALALALALALALALALA!!!!! I can't hear you! lalalalalalalala...........
I cranked my pc's sound up to 104dBs and then turned on text-to-speech. Now all I hear is the piercing sound of CmdrTaco telling me that I'm an insensitive clod and the neighbors have called the cops! Thanks, thanks a lot guys.
Not to make light of your friend's terrible condition, but really... was it the level of noise or the type of noise? We are talking about Orgy, after all. I'd have dementia afterwards, too.
if maybe NASA leaks these tidbits just so the bright folks on/. can brainstorm and solve all their problems? It's the thinktank of thinktanks, after all. Or maybe they just like to tease the fiscal conservatives. Silly rocket scientists.
I was responsible for the development of one of the earliest online music retail operations.
Microsoft Corporation
I was part of an elite team of business development and technology professionals tasked with answering Netscape's threat to Microsoft's dominance in desktop and server technology.

Seems to be a strange coincidence that someone who worked for MS AND for a direct competitor of the iTMS, has problems with the musicstore. I don't buy it.
And it's quite interesting, that someone working in the computer business, doesn't back up his data.
Maybe id is waiting til FPS's are fashionable again. Lord knows I've had enough of them for the time being. Carmack, wait as long as necessary. Wet my palette. If it's most excellent, it may revive a dying breed of game.
I don't call killing unwanted children, limiting who can breed and when, and basically having no social freedoms whatsoever "thriving." You wanna go live there? Raise a family there? If the answer to either is no, then I don't think you can call it "thriving" either.

Guess that's one less person to worry about Barcoding.

Thanks for the new definition of "idiot." Never knew its that simple.
He was able to return the first new hard drive to his brother's business. Lucky that he knew someone who'd let him do that.
boo. hiss. boo.
Or did I miss something? I can't find them.

Yeah but Farscape sucked. The Hubble is coooooool. Because it's a big ol' mirror that goes round and round and round the Earth.

Can't wait to try one!
Oh. Wait. I guess this involves going outside, doesn't it? Dammit!!!
And it's considered exercise?! SOB! Does that taunting never end?!?!

RTFL (license). i.e. Don't overreact before you've read the damn thing yourself. Sheesh.
And I thought i had too much time on my hands...
