They'll up the prices because they'll say it's to compensate for their upgrades even though they're still making even more money with the new projectors.
That's funny because there weren't any adverts before and the tickets were cheaper and they somehow were able to make a profit. No, it's really just the studios trying to make as much money as they possibly can.
I'm pretty sure that the G5 doesn't have an NX bit, and for sure the G4 doesn't as it was developed too long ago. Since Apple is moving to Intel they will no doubt be moving in the direction of the NX bit to stop buffer overflows. It's supposedly very hard to perform a buffer overflow attack on PPC architecture so it's not as big a deal as it is on x86.
My guess is that they used some other way to gain escalated priviledges.
You're forgetting about programs that require the Installer application. Usually you will have to provide your password to install these types of apps because they'll be modifying something other than/Applications and ~/Library/Preferences
You could easily name a program with the.jpg or whatever extension and chmod +x on the file and it's still executable. Extensions on anything but Windows don't really mean a whole lot.
If they found out you were running 100 copies of Windows at your work but you only bought one license, you don't think they'd take action against you? There's no difference in doing that and running OS X on hardware that's against the license.
So, if you BUY [b]a[/b] copy of MS Office for your company you think you can do whatever you want with it like install it on 1000 computers? Software is never owned, it's licensed and legally you have to follow that license.
That'd be just great. All of a sudden every ecommerce website becomes useless. Same with online banking. I don't think they could get away with blocking all encrypted traffic.
If the engine stalled while shifting at 50mph, why not just put it back into gear and bump start it? Once you did that the engine would be running again.
There's usually enough left in the brakes to stop if the engine shuts off. I blew a brake line and I could still stop even though the brake pedel was to the floor(since there was a huge leak in the hydrolic system). There's actually enough pressure still in the system at first so that you could stop if you wanted to. Power steering also only helps you at low speeds where the friction of the road makes it hard to turn the wheels.
The guy seems to be a bit confused in what he writes.
"Rosetta runs in the same thread as the application, and translates blocks of code as they come up. "
Then
"...That allows the translation to run on one core while the application thread executes on the other core, meaning that the translated code will have a short distance to travel."
So, which is it? Does Rosetta run in a separate thread or not? Maybe he meant it runs in the same process, I don't know.
I wonder if this is the main reason why OS X is so much faster on the Intel chip. I can see the Powerbook getting a good speedboost but 4-5x is a lot more than what you'd expect.
I highly doubt that it'll be skipped over like LD. If you were in any electronics store around Christmas you would have seen how many HD TVs were being sold. I think HD is going to explode in 2006 because everything is getting cheap enough for people to buy now.
You can still use ground source heat pumps in cold climates. They're used all around Canada including all the cold climates up north. You just have to make sure you are below the frost line so your loop doesn't run so cold in the winter.
They didn't mention much about Geothermal Energy, and specifically Geothermal heating/cooling for your home. The new systems on the market today have a payback of 4KW of energy from the ground for every 1KW of energy put into the system. This is a huge deal and saves you a lot of money over the long run. Typical installations are $20K Canadian but you will see a payback in 3-7 years depending on the type of system.

True, it's expensive but there's no law that you have to buy their garbage popcorn and sugar water. You can last 1.5 to 2 hrs without that stuff.
But it's those damn movie pirates on teh bittorrent that do it!
Install Linux in VPC then install WINE in Linux?? God that must be so slow.

I bet it'll be pretty hard. The page is all text and he's on an .edu pipe. Good luck!

Does the Intel version of XCode use the Intel compiler?

Instead of the distributed Akamai servers that Apple uses?
But you can get a 7200 RPM SATA HD so the HD should be the same speed.

I think the Folding@home program is done in Fortran. Since there's no good Fortran compiler for OS X it makes it really slow.
He did say that the low end would be making the switch first, with the rest of the lineup switching by 2007.
