"The combination of two unpatched IE security holes and hacked corporate websites is apparently distributing malware via several high-credibility sites. ZDNet says users have 'few options' other than alternative browsers or platforms."
You do have another option. Once again it's UNPATCHED USERS who are having problems. Well the simple solution is, unless you're into just microsoft bashing, is to PATCH YOUR SYSTEMS.
I was under the impression that most of the people who routinely sent or recieved large attachments had a 'proper' paid email service
One problem with gmail is that despite the size of the mailbox in total, the messages you can send are still very small, limited to 10MB total (I don't know if that's 10,000KB or 10,2400KB). That's worth taking into consideration before swapping over
I routinely need to email documents up to 50MB in size, and without that support, Gmail is not for me.
The marketing guys took liberty with the word 'dynamically' and I'll give you a break and not poke fun. Unless you argue, and then it's "everybody point and laugh at TOTMs! hjehehe!!!"
So you wish to deny the obvious inclusion of a pump in the G5 liquid cooling system, and laugh at anyone who sees it?
I think it's time to laugh at djupedal for being blind to the obvious. The G5 cooling system has a pump. The pump is controlled by OSX. It is not a simple heat pipe.
Just like the copper heatsink on the 1.24 GHz G4's....the first 'liquid cooled Mac' !
No, nothing like a heat pipe. Heat pipes ARE still used in the new G5s for cache ram, but cache ram is not CPU.
Unless you wish to somehow decide to laugh at people who think cache ram is not cpu, and make more false claims.
Young kids now think 1GHz isn't enough to browse web & email. That's not just wrong, it ends up wasteful
I think your from a different time thats gone past its usefullness. Me for one, I web browse, email, do a little photoshopping and run a web server on my box. Like to see you try doing that on 1ghz.
Some people just have a use for more power than u know.
Seriously though, when are we gonna see a G5 powerbook?
When they can get the heat down, which is a long way away. Don't hold your breath waiting for it.
All apple have done here is added water cooling to overclocked older G5s. Still no 90nm process chips in the powermacs. And I can see in 12 months thousands of these things failing when the water clogs up the radiator.
If I were forced to use one of these I'd rip out that system and replace it with a correct phase change cooling with fans that can pump a decent amount of air
I hope they know where to send the bill after their server has been reduced to a useless pile of molten plastic.
Common misconception, but a complete myth. A slashdotting has no more chance of melting or burning a server than does ping flooding it. The worst that can happen is a server side crash caused by misconfiguration, and that won't damage the hardware.
Study animal nutrition for real-life examples that exist today. You want to kill your cat? Try feeding it Vegan-style. I've talked to a vet who has seen this; it's quite sad.
Yes. No better proof that this current fad "Low Carb" diet is about the unhealthiest thing a human can do to their body.
It's going to be sad on one level, but I'll still be laughing, when in 5 years perfectly thin and healthy looking low-carb dieters keel over from heart attacks when their withered heart muscle finally gives out from the stress it's under.
It came out on another forum I'm on that the burnt powerbook photo is nothing but a photoshopped fabrication, made by a Mac user who specialises in photo manips.
I see one of the big reasons for offshoring as the current medical system. The ridiculous costs of attempting healthcare for workers is one of the costs of employing people.
Offshoring doesn't carry that burden. Health care should be 100% unrelated to employer packages
And with the render times needed on a movie length project the speed that a linux system with good fast cheap hardware could shred the G5 in processing time would more than make up the difference
Uh, this is awesome and all, but what are you going to view it on?
Presumably on a HDTV, as it's broadcast direct from a station. This isn't home editing software, meant for recording home movies, it's for creating the original content in HD format.
I don't know if DVDs support it right now, but soon enough a medium will appear that will.
Their other apps are cheaper, but then they'll all continue to be updated, all continue to need new hardware, and all continue to need newer versions of the Mac OS.
Shake 3 is also out for Linux. Cheaper OS, cheaper hardware, higher performance. I don't see that many houses will use Shake on OS X boxes for much longer.
do they care that the technology they're helping develop will be used to KILL people in future wars, perhaps even against their own country?
I think nothing sums up the problem with american society today.
Actually as a country the USA does more to save lives than it does to kill. Groundbreaking research in medical and safety innovations, in search and rescue, being at the head of the forefront when natural disasters strike around the world, more donations to foreign nations in need for food, medical supplies and fresh water, and better care worldwide in general due to US invention.
I think if you look at the number of deaths it pales into insignificance. Let these kids play with their planes, it's all in fun
Yes. The original poster saying 30fps is the maximum is mostly correct, in that gamers who say they can tell 300fps from 250fps are full of crap.
However you're more correct in the specifics, in that the limits of what a human can notice with respect to frames per second is more along the lines of 60-90fps. Almost all humans with sight can notice the difference in smoothness, some a little higher some lower.
If you get the chance watch a movie recorded in 60fps, played back on machinery that can handle it. It's a truly disorienting experience as you DO notice a much greater level of smoothness and there's less motion blur in even fast switches, which is more akin to that of eyesight experiencing a real event. I had the chance to see this while at University several years ago.
The first Amiga was designed by a group of ex-apple engineers who didn't like the direction the Macintosh was heading, so went on their own to create the Amiga 1000
My sister's university would not allow her PC back on the school network after they cut ALL student network access in the wake of MyDoom, until it could be verified by a tech at the school that she was running Norton AV.
Her PC runs Debian and only Debian. It took more than a month for her to find a sane enough tech in admin to realise that it was pointless trying to do so. All of the rest tried the different bullshit techniques telling her why all PCs are a problem regardless of OS.
The most classic was one of the last techs, a supposedly bright 35 year old guy who came around with a warezed copy of NAV to attempt installing on her PC. He not only knew what Linux was when he recognised it, but told her to make her PC secure she'd have to install Windows and THEN put NAV on.
Echostar will provide a $1 monthly credit to customers who lose programming while the channels are unavailable. Sorry but $1 a month is not exactly a fair trade off.
Why not? When you're paying $6.50 a month, lose some channels, and then pay $5.50 a month what more would you expect? Free home delivered meals for a week out of every month? Sacrifice of the director's first born?

I see I've been marked down quickly as flamebait for stating a simple fact.
The truth hurts bad doesn't it, Apple Zealot Moderators.
this is NOT THE FIRST FULL 64BIT ENVIRONMENT.
I am REALLY getting sick of Apple Zealotry about 64bit or fastest computer or best interface or what have you.
The bald faced lying like this is worse than some of the crap from SCO.
Apple; Yesterday's tech, today...but we're the first. no, really.

I think it's a really BIG stretch to say NeXTstep is present "as" OSX.
OSX is inspired by NS technologies, and uses many of the same standards, but there's not one line of shared code between the operating systems.
