Must have been when Apple snuck up on us and became all geek cool. I think I missed that announcement and suddenly it's all powerbooks and ibooks around me.
Does this mean that the German auction of a newly-created and virgin empty "Untitled Folder" made on a MacOS 9 machine is also violating ebay's policy? A pity, because I need a few.
256 MG of RAM, FM Tuner, ability to record from a line-in, from the FM Tuner and voice recording, USB Drive capabilities, upgradeable firmware, weighing in at 2.2 ounces all for around $160
All those features and 256 milligrams of RAM!
and I thought my cigarettes with 8mg tar were strong.
Curiously, I've been using a mouse for graphic work since 1985. I can sign my name much more naturally and fluidly with a mouse than on paper, or on a graphics tablet.
It's all in the experience. I wouldn't be surprised if more of that happens in the future.
I've known more than one person with a dual 400/500 G4 who's quite stunned with the performance of the iBook. Faster for many common user things. That's an 800MHz G3 compared to the Dual G4 (admittedly a lot older G4)
The G3s can still hold their own with OSX very well, as long as the surrounding architecture is up to snuff.
Oh SCO would just claim the virus code was their IP all along, and claim license fees from everyone who's still running it - people whose IP they can get easily as it keeps contacting their website!
Actually that doesn't sound any more nonsensical than their current machinations.
And there's a reason to hang around those kinds of people. Sure as anything you'll find you're able to extract all kinds of goodies from them, and disappear weeks later without a trace.
Not that I'm a con artist. No, really.
The best benchmark is the app you're using

Examining Benchmarking

And that's the only way to look at it. I use photoshop more often than anything else, and as long as a machine can run it well then it's passed my benchmarking tests just fine.
When it comes pointless is when a single simple benchmark is taken alone. If that were the case then a machine like a 1GHz G4 would own everything else looking at just RC5-72 benchmarks. 10 million keys/sec? no problem, quicker than any other machine like it on the market.
Look at that as just one benchmark among dozens and you form a better picture, that the G4 has a vector unit that performs exceptionally well, and you can get an idea how the rest of it performs.
Add up enough of those simple numeric benchmarks and all you get is one huge mess in mind with no REAL idea of how a machine will perform other than theoretically. Best combine them all together and go back to running the app(s) you're likely to use most.
"Australia was the first country in the world to have a complete system of bank notes based on plastic (polymer). These notes provide much greater security against counterfeiting. They also last four times as long as conventional paper (fibrous) notes."
Another one worth mentioning, Plastic money as used in several countries now, starting as a collaboration between a couple of countries using technology developed in Australia. It's a late 80s thing and only fairly recent, but something upwards of 30 nations use last I looked.
I'm not too fussed over either. If I'm talking mainly to US people I'll drop the u and use z instead of s in words like randomize or whatever. I figure if I demonstrate the "I don't really give a shit either way" attitude when it comes to regional spelling, those around me won't either.
Or I beat them up:)
When it comes to painfully annoying common mistakes like "woundering" instead of "wondering" or "alot" instead of "a lot" my lizard brain wants to beat them up instantly.
look at the Rackspace "insane support" model, they are doing well because of that.
I've heard only basics about Rackspace, but that people are happy with them. What's the difference with their support?
Curiously showing the size of apps & OSs

This leads to obvious comparisons of the size of Win95 compared to WinXP, and the changes in just 8 years.
What I find telling as well is that the Mac OSX calculator.app is SIX times the size of the total RAM in the first Mac, and over twice the size of a complete OS install.
Without looking at this kernel (a 26MB download on a slow connection today) is this a modified kernel without the SCO IP, or is it a "properly licensed" kernel that contains SCO-claimed-IP but is freely downloadable anyway? If it doesn't contain the IP they don't want freely distributed can that be compared with a real 2.4.13 kernel? if it DOES, does that mean they're still offering it as a freebie to all despite this legal mess going on?

Seriously, the blonde guy on that page looks freaky. No, really he scares me. What's with the mouth and nose and airbrushing? gah!
whoever wrote that goddamned badger mushroom snake .swf is going to die. my flatmate has been playing it constantly for the last hour
Applefritter has one that's an original iMac pullled to pieces, and modded into a 21" monitor.
Looks a bit odd from some angles, but it's kind of appealing.
...ability to drive?
And you thought people using mobile phones while driving NOW were dangerous.
fun.
It's "open" in a Darl McBride sense... ie subjhect to change at any time, in any way
The only real explanation for the crap in this letter is that Darl McBride's Reality Distortion Field has just outgrown Steve Jobs'

Where's mine dammit?
Just curiously, if these fields are being generated as 500,000 times stronger than tha earth's own... are they detectable from space?

I've been identifying lots of things with retinal imaging for quite a long time, as far back as I can remember.
:P
I look at something, light projects an image on my retina, I go "hey! it's a cow"
yeah I need coffee
Where did I mention credit cards?

Which dictionary? I haven't seen it in any yet. Allot is there, but as that's a different spelling with a different meaning it's not the same word.
