I have a friend with some sort of offshoot it seems as well. I can't recall the name of the type that he has, but he lives a very difficult life in an assisted living facility. I really don't know what to do to help him as the doctors are essentially performing euthanasia by giving him high doses of lithium for his mental issues that are being caused by this disease and his difficult life. I really want to help him and I'm trying help get a site started that is pro alternate solutions/treatments for muscular dystrophy. Let me know if you'd like to help out at all by replying and I'll see what we can do to get things shifted into a higher gear.
I'm by no means the picture of health, but around the fall of last year I started taking about 2,000 mg of vitamin C a day as well as 400-800 mg of vitamin E with selenium and I've not gotten ill yet. Normally I'm a very sickly person with sinus infections, bronchial infections and so forth. Now I've started exercising too to see how that helps.
I personally believe that it is a combination of nutrition, fitness (we walk and move about much less than other nations on an average) and stress/relaxation time that is causing us U.S. American folks issues.
With the number of hard drive failures that I've seen in our region recently (being that I am part of a group of consultants that works across the region and we've seen well over 100 hard drives fail within the last 3 months with bad sectors and such, seems very odd, but something is up as it ranges in brands and from home consumers to very beefy servers) I would say that ZFS is a huge benefit for anything ranging from laptops to servers. I would love to have continual failure monitoring for bad blocks and such.
I am extremely excited about this as it will also allow the pooling of storage space across my personal office. Also, does it function similarly to the Google FS or other global filesystems that help to create redundancy across the pool? That would be exceptionally valuable. I thought that I'd read about ZFS actually functioning as a disconnectable file system as well that could "sync up" when reconnected to the network, but perhaps that is from some of my other filesystem exploration.
Hey, I've deliberated, for a few years now, of putting a translation layer on top of linux or FBSD so as to run Mac OS X on top of that and do away with the xnu/darwin underbelly. I've been pretty disgusted at traditional xnu/mach kernel performance as it stands. Any thoughts on that or anyone working on it? Perhaps a few of us ought to start working on this.
Well, there does appear to be a problem when, used as a workstation and having greater than 2 or 2.5 GB RAM, that something bad happens with simultaneous threads... Hope it is fixed soon.
Exactly right parent. This is sound business logic on Apple's part. They have to have options, replacements and so forth. There is not a reason to believe that we're going to be stuck with G4 procs or such for the next few years in light of this agreement. And yes, that is rubbish speculation and reporting when they go stringing things together such as this and making people perceive it as gospel.
I knew that this was a possible/probable outcome for quite some time. As soon as they started talking up fat binaries and the reinstitution of them (at least publicly) in Tiger, we are ready to jump to whatever platform desired without a single hiccup. The nice thing that Apple has done is prepared a way to, for example via Xcode 2, tell Adobe that "we have a new processor to support, please simply rebuild Photoshop after applying this patch and Photoshop will run on x86 chips."
Apple has an elegant solution and it has been this way since the days of NeXTSTEP. Exciting times lay ahead! We're getting ready to see a big war between Apple and MS I believe.
Now that is true, and you get the same from the Book of Mormon from linguistic studies done. However, enough of the thought process has become part of folks that some Hebrewisms are integrated into English so it still wouldn't hurt too much as it would still be "modded down" by the statistical analysis of the engine.
Your explanation of how the Book of Mormon was taken back is entirely fabricated and untrue. We won't get onto that history, but suffice it to say that you're incorrect.
The English used in the Book of Mormon is more recent than that of the Bible so it would be a better candidate, than say, the Bible. Yes, being from Appalachia myself I speak with folks quite often who portray such speech. Very interesting, from my own linguistics standpoint. (It also helps to maintain that period of time's phraseology; it would be neat to get works from various generations to see its effect linguistically on the engine.)
Plus by using the Bible and Book of Mormon we still keep the familiar form of "you" alive which is important for English since we've lost it unlike other languages such as Spanish. Statistically using scriptures as such will be similar to Rosetta stone to the engine, but will be overridden by the higher statistics of documents, as they say, such as the UN documents. Overall this should create a very balanced translation technique.
Well, it does appear that most people do not have the proper perspective with regards to why suffering and bad things happen. Most folks unfortunately attribute things like suffering and such to sin, however there is a purpose for that when you understand the nature of God our Heavenly Father more fully. Yes, He does love us, but it appears that the "learning" or "experience" part is taken out of the equation. As we love our own children isn't it similar? We have to let them experience life and difficulties just as well as the joy and happiness.
Sure, we wish we could suffer for our children and even perhaps others we love, but we have to take things with perspective and understanding. You can see some illustrations of an extreme in the story of Job (and other folks perhaps that live around us today) and some deeper understanding can be gained from: http://scriptures.lds.org/2_ne/2/11#11
Well... I actually somewhat agree with you and have been griping directly to Apple about a revamp. Hope that X.5 will revamp things greatly as something really needs to be done in the way of both performance (does work quite fast on a dual G5 though) and in terms of rock solid stability when laptops are taken on and off of the network constantly. But, I think its all coming.
There are some subtle UI changes that need to be made as well as revamping the interface at getting at printer features rather than using their current methods in the dropdown.

NeoOfficeJ. Very nice, actually using it at the moment. I use both MS Office and NeoOfficeJ as NeoOfficeJ has some features that MS has not implemented well. I'm really hoping they get on the ball somehow with the 2 beta as I'd love to see a true native Open Office for Mac OS X.
Can someone please describe how to build one of these devices? I find it quite interesting and it would be neat to perhaps contribute to the research or experiment on our own.
Mac OS X (and more especially Tiger upcoming) is the "holy grail" of Linux/*nix server operating systems at the moment. I've been down the road of all mainstream and some not-so-mainstream Linux and BSD setups and have just never been as happy as I am now. Been doing this for 10 years approximately, so that's my personal experience. Also the hardware is excellent, including such nuances such as rebooting itself via the pmu if for some rare reason there would be a kernel panic.
One note, however, I have found that SME Server at contribs.org is very good if you need a turnkey dead-easy server to setup and maintain. Very, very handy if you want to reuse or employ very cheap x86 hardware for something not needing to be hugely capable (although it has quite a bit of kick).
I know that. That's why I use it. It helps tremendously in terms of updates and not having to babysit the machine as much as a normal FBSD box, plus the gui is a real plus.
Very fast actually, I'm not seeing any noticeable slow down on a 3Mb connection, actually zooms right along in terms of downloading images, etc. from the site.
Yes, I concur. Mac OS X/Xserves are quite excellent and that is the route we are taking. We were using FreeBSD and Linux, now turning to an all Mac shop.
No, actually Windows NT _is_ running on G5 machines at the moment provided from Apple. Do some research around and you'll see some interesting information along those lines.
Similarly, Mac OS X runs on x86 machines, behind closed doors. It has since its days as NEXTSTEP.
Aside from the French (pardon my colloquialism) this fellow hit it on the head. I almost went into medicine, but started my own computer consulting and programming firm (often hear that doctors often encounter this path sometime in life) and can say that Hawkeye4 is absolutely right. Doctors and programmers have some serious issues that they encounter during work. Doctors more especially as they have human lives at stake.
Doctors, and programmers, also have a tendency to live in their own little world while disregarding the real needs or desires of others(often programmers worse than doctors, thus Windows as well as the pitiful situation of UI today, one of my pet peeves...:) Don't misinterpret what I'm saying here. I love doctors, as I said, almost was one, and my grand father was a D.O.
Remember that people don't want to be sick (usually) and that you're best bet is to trust them that they're trying to help you to help them. Hurrah for Patrick. I applaud you and would do the same in terms of jumping around and researching if one of my family or myself were at stake. May our Father in Heaven bless you and my prayers are with you.
You can be skeptical while remaining positive, upbeat and actively pursuing betterment. Skepticism, but even worse, negativity or mindless rebellion, often squashes our own capacity to look beyond problems for solutions and ways around.
I remember once hearing a story about two travelers on an old southern highway in the U.S. One young man was driving along one day in his brand new Corvette and saw a huge thing in the middle of the road. He swerved to miss it and consequently flew off the road destroying his car and killing himself. Later, an old farmer came down the highway and saw this huge thing in the road and realized that it was a huge sage brush blown into the road. He simply kept on driving right through it and came out just fine on through the other side, breaking the bush to pieces. The moral of the story is that we cannot go around our problems.
We must move through them, no matter how seemingly insurmountable they may be.
No one or nothing will ever grow without passing through. Too often folks try to get around the issues by nay-saying or protesting. We have got to put the wonderful brains that we've been blessed with to work in solving problems and working with and through them.

How can this be accomplished on Mac OS X on a Power Mac?
