A search on Google for "DVI Dual Link" yields many results, mostly for cables for this type of connection. Dual Link DVI and DVI Dual Link are probably exactly the same thing since you are just inverting the ordering of the words. Apple has just taking the Shakespearian approach to naming their peripheral connections. The "Dual dual link" thing refers to the fact that there are two dual link connections on the 6800 card.
Since you have a 1 GHz TiBook, am I correct in assuming that it's running at a vertical resolution of less than 1080 pixels? Perhaps it runs because it is scaled down for your screen. Or are you displaying it on an external monitor?
Why? You end up with an extremely sharp 30" TV that also doubles as a sweet gaming rig (with the top of the line GeForce) and powerful workstation. Considering that a slightly larger plasma display only costs a little bit more, you end up with a lot of extra perks for your money.
I use;) a lot when I'm being sarcastic, or I try to be so over the top that it comes through. The latter method doesn't work so much on Slashdot though since there are a lot of dense people reading this site.:)
Sure it does. This is my logic: You are a person. You have committed a crime. Your crimes are linked to your being by your name. Not everyone has committed a crime. You identify yourself. The officer now knows you are not in the majority that has not committed a crime. You have incriminated yourself.
No, those are bad examples. It is much more appropriate to compare consistent use of UI widgets across a platform with wearing clothes that match. It's great that you want to change your clothes everyday, but you still want the clothes to go together. What you are really looking for is theming the OS (so that the applications match, with consistent change across the OS) as a parallel to changing your clothes.
As a Mac user and former Bungie fanboy, I will entirely agree that they were better off before being assimilated (and the irony of their founding principals and what finally happened to the company still disturbs me).
However, to avoid being a "me too" poster, I'll add something about Marathon which you have mistaken. You could walk under a bridge in Marathon, as long as the bridge was closed and the inside of the bridge was described in the map as a different set of enclosing polygons from the set outside. Marathon could handle elevation data, but not different levels of elevation in the same column of space...without tricking the engine. A lot of the more complex level designs used this hack to accomplish pretty impressive feats for the time.
I know it's not a new idea or revolutionary. Houses have had separate zones forever. The reason it gets brought up is because it is relevant. There is always heat in the computer, but instead of having one fan on all the time cooling the entire case (because the heat isn't localized), you can have one fan in one part of the case cooling one component. This keeps the computer quiet.
The zones are mentioned every time someone calls a G5 noisy based purely on the fact that it has 8 (or 9 in the duals) fans. People call the G5 noisy a lot, because they have never seen one in operation and are ignorant of how quiet they really are. Therefore, the zones get mentioned a lot in an attempt to educate the ignorant.
Say what you want about the merits of building your own box, but don't call the G5 noisy. It has multiple low-speed fans to keep it quiet. It has separate thermal zones with independent cooling systems to minimize noise. I have heard, or rather been near enough a G5 to know it is not a loud computer.
Standard and Student/Teacher have identical features, except the latter version is discounted for Academic users. Professional is identical to Standard with the addition of VPC 7. VPC 7 has been delayed, and as such, so has Office 2004 Professional.
You've only defeated the purpose if you re-fragment the file again after opening it. If this isn't the case, the amortized cost (the initial cost of de-fragmentation when opening the first time minus the speed benefits from a file in a single chunk) over the many times the file is read yields a speed bonus, not a speed loss.
A good example is me, installing a program from disk onto my computer. I run the program and it accesses a group of files that have been fragmented when copied to my hard drive. The first time it opens the files it spends a little extra time de-fragmenting them. However, subsequent times that I open the program, these files will load faster.
I've found that cheap RAM can often adversely affect the stability of Apple's computers. In two instances I've used non-Apple RAM and found the system to crash randomly, and behave inconsistently on the whole, until the non-Apple RAM was removed and replaced with higher quality RAM.
In one instance, I just picked the wrong RAM, even though it said it was compatible with my computer, it wasn't. I got the manufacturer to send me a more expensive, higher quality chip instead. In the second instance (which was a 2 GHz G5, by the way), the retailer included a free GB of RAM with the purchase, but the RAM was cheap. In that case, they offered to exchange the RAM for the cost of the new RAM minus retail of what they gave us (which was a decent deal).
So, this may have nothing to do with your problem, since a lot of people have perfectly decent RAM. However, if you have purchased RAM from someone else, or had it included with your purchase, take it out and see if the problems disappear. The hardware test disk will not find problems in cheap RAM; it didn't in either of the cases above.
The idea of buying Dreamweaver is that it pays for itself by making you more productive than similar, albeit cheaper, tools. My copies of Studio MX and Studio MX 2004 have already paid for themselves several times over.
The usual disclaimer is that I am not a lawyer. However, I have some familiarity with the law.
The uses of copyrighted material you mention are defensible under fair use and de minimus arguments, however, this is not a copyright argument. The source code is protected as trade secret, which means that it is illegal to display it as long as the owner of the trade secret (Microsoft) has gone to reasonable efforts to keep the code secret. Reproduction or display of any part of the code is a violation of Microsoft's trade secrets.
By definition, half of their customers are using above median bandwidth. In a case with an average, one user using 10 GBs of bandwidth and nine users using 1 GB of bandwidth, the average is 1.9 GB/user. One user is above average, and the rest are below.
That's actually not the first Bungie game either. The first was called "GNOP" and it was a Pong rip-off. What followed was an RPG game (of which the name slips my mind) and another game (which I believed involved tank warfare.) All of this information is available in the Marathon Scrapbook which was included in the Marathon Trilogy set.
The total cost of using a PPC 970 in one of Apple's consumer machines is still too great. Cost here can be the mobo and cooling system, as you suggest, or the competition between the "professional" and "consumer" systems if they both use the same processor. In any case, Apple can't use the G5 in an iMac yet, but as soon as they can, I see them doing it.

It's DVI Dual Link.

Well, the Cinema Display isn't standard either, so who cares?

Rubber tires do not protect you from lightning. It's the metal frame of the car which protects you.
Unless they are detecting the enemy radar from 30-100km while remaining invisible and not using their own radar at all...

Use Windows for web serving, Linux for Office applications, and Mac OS for games!
