Much of the reason Apple switched to Intel was because IBM didnt want to make the chips Apple watned.
Apple has for a long time made demands of their chip producers to make this and that chip with this and that feature, then they order a wery low volume at first to ensure they dont get stuck with an overflow should the product flop in any way.
Then they make new, larger, orders if the product is a hit and the chip producer runs into supplying dificulties. Apple blames the chips vendor.
This happened with the 68k, G4 and G5. When Apple wanted new CPU's IBM basicaly told them to get lost because they just wasnt a big enough client to justify the demands they made.
IBM managed quite well before the G5 deal and will manage quite well after.
(Just for the record: This was posted from my darling PowerBook! I am a Mac user and an Apple fanatic! So this is _not_ Apple-bashing, just a statement of facts!)
And because Im an even bigger and more stupid a**hole Im not going to give any reason as to why you are what I accuse you of beeing nor any examples of you acting like an a**hole.
I tried FF for a week. Then switched back to Opera. Imo Opera is much better and I happily payed for a lisence to have the add banner removed. Opera has everything I need built in, not as unstable and sliggish extensions.
There it is, just had to point it out;)
PS: Use Thunderbird for email tho, since Operas mail client is silly.
Now, this is my first atempt at a trackerless torrent and you will need a client with trackerless support to use it (Newest Azureus and BitComet comes to mind)
IE is showing its new browser of like it was this huge new fantastic thing!
Everyone and his mothers cousin on/. keeps yelling that they stole from FF or Safari! TABS! INTEGRATED RSS!! OMG OMG!
Peronaly I discovered Opera five years ago, complete with tabs and everything. Thats when I stopped worrying about browsers. So when FF came with tabs and everybody was extatic I thought "Umm...ive been using this for some years now...."
Apple has kept the one-button-mouse as default for so long is because they want people to follow their standards for implementing menus for a program. Everyone can add various functions to whatever mousebutton they want, but by shipping macs with one button they ensure that devs will also have to make the menus avaiable the old way for a one button mouse. And thus ensure a certain similarity between programs.
imo, one button isnt that bad. One gets used to everything. Tho a wheel would be nice.
Its sad to see that it took them all this time to add tabs. Ive been using it wiht Opera for the past five years. Guess we will see mouse gestures in 2010.
So what if it isnt free as in freedom. Anyone who belives that Linux will have a chanse against Windows and OS X while running exclusively OSS needs to jank his or hers head out of the skies and get down to earth.
I heard NetBSD could run on anything. But it did not run on my HP PA-RISC B1000 machine. Or any newer PA-RISC machine for that matter (Linux ran fine).
The way I see it they fit in as the only choise you are left with when you need an OS but nothing else will work. But they should focus on getting it to run better on the already "supported" archs instead of porting it to a milion new ones and leaving it as soon as it kinda works.
A problem easy to resolve.
I live my lie with an iBook with 20gig hd space. That is more than I need. But, I also have a server with over 700 gig which is carefully hidden away in the basement.
NFS is your friend;)
I see these articles all over the world. "Is BitTorrent dead?" "Life of a filesharer after suprnova shurtdown" and so on and so forth.
Do these people have any clue at all? The only thing that changed after suprnova shutdown was the url I typed in my browser. And I am still using torrents like I died before suprnova. Acutaly, I have more torrent sites bookmarked now and more material avaiable than I did before the raid.
If MS tries to force more things on their users like they already do with IE and WMP they will be slapped. Maybe the US courts and legislation is willing to sit back and let MS take over the world, but at least the EU has some sense of reason and decency and will not stand for it.
"Who is accountable for the security of the Linux kernel? Does Red Hat, for example, take responsibility? It cannot, as it does not produce the Linux kernel. It produces one distribution of Linux."
I cant belive somone has the guts to say something like this in public. In cases like this it is indeed better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
No, RedHat does not and cannot take responsibility for the kernel in general. What they can do is make sure the kernels they ship is as secure as possible. And this they do. Rather well if you ask me. As do most other distros.
Gee, some of these MS guys doesnt seem to have a clue at all. And to think that most of them are probablyh highly eduacated people.
Of course other browsers crash, but Netscape, Opera, Firefox and so on are no way near as tied to the OS as IE is. So when Netscape crashes Netscape crashes. Not the entire OS. I dont think anyone is using Netscape anymore either. And I for one has never had a web browser crash any of my unixboxes.

Acutaly, no.

Let me just say that I have used Opera as my main browser since version 3.2 and would be wery, _wery_ frustrated if MS got their filthy hands on it.
But Dvoraks article isnt that far fetched if you look at it as loose musing on the subject. He does make some valid points.
Though, if it is meant as an outright prediction of the near future it is naught but the rambelings of a wery sorry excuse for a serious journalist.
Man, your life must be wery boring! Want some cheese with that whine?
Where is the Mac version? WoW was fun for a few months, but I want choises! Common!
I think you are an a**hole.

Um... no... they are all full featured symphonies... not samples.
Yeah, I know. It appears not to be working.
Register at gay-torrents.net and look in the non-pron section to find a regular torrent for the symphonies.
Went ahead and made a _trackerless_ torrent for those of you who want all the symphonies in this BBC series.
c kerless.torrent
Grab the torrent here: http://home.no.net/nexus/beethoven_symphonies_tra
Now, this is my first atempt at a trackerless torrent and you will need a client with trackerless support to use it (Newest Azureus and BitComet comes to mind)
For those of you bold enough to register at http://www.gay-torrents.net/ there is a torrent with all th Symphonies in the non-pron section.
Enjoy.
OMG! I want a sparc laptop! Then I can be the geekiest guy on my block! :D
IE is showing its new browser of like it was this huge new fantastic thing!

So, is BT dead? No it is not!
