  1. Re:Bye Bye Mac Hardware on Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented · · Score: 1

    VMWare Workstation isn't an emulator, its a virtualization. It only runs on x86 machines because it doesn't actually emulate the processor.

  2. OS X Panther Here on Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented · · Score: 5, Informative

    I've gotten OS X Panther to install as well, you can see it here. Took about 7 hours on a Duron 1.6Ghz with 512MB SDRAM.

    So would producing and distributing software that bypasses the FairPlay DRM count? Just wondering, not that I'm doing it or anything...;)

    Oh yeah, lets get sites blocking Firefox because they don't show banner ads. It already happened with popups.

    Actually your more likely to be able to use a CD than a floppy. New systems from Dell don't have have floppy drives in the default config.

    Mozilla-the-platform vs Avalon and XAML might be what he meant.

  12. Re:Still Waiting for the CD!!! on Worms Jack Up the Total Cost of Windows · · Score: 1

    I got mine about 3 weeks after I ordered it. It helped out a lot patching a friend's WinXP machine. He is stuck on 28k dialup and I think I got the CD faster than I could have pulled SP1 over that.

    Authentication _is_ the login. Logging in authorizes you to get access. If you mean registration, then sure.

    Actually Google will treat that as one long word. If they wanted to spam Google they would use -, not _. I believe this is a recent change to fight spammers.

    Probably because in a week or less playfair and DeDRMS will get a new version that does work.

  19. Re:iTunes update benefits on Install iPod Update in Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    phpTunes lets you access iTunes from a browser, although buying might not actually work since the upgrade. I'm out of cash so I can't test.

  20. Re:iTunes update benefits on Install iPod Update in Linux · · Score: 5, Informative

    Uh, you can access iTunes from Windows. They wrote a windows version a long time ago.

  21. Re:wine? on Apple Releases Major iTunes Update · · Score: 1

    It's mostly worthless now that they changed the DRM, but phpTunes lets you search and buy songs, if you already have an iTunes account.

  22. Re:PHP syntax rant on PHP 5 Release Candidate 2 Released · · Score: 1

    Seeing how PHP started its life as a Perl script it makes sense that the langauge would be a lot like Perl. However, they are both based on C so the only main thing ripped off is the $. The foo($array, $var) foo($var, $array) thing trips me up about once a day, but thats what the manual is for (best language manual out there, imho). Also, I take insult to your bit of trolling at the end. PHP and MySQL might not be the most powerful languages, but you can get stuff done fast and its perfect for smaller sites. Now, for larger sites I would probably look into mod_python *ducks*.

    Not even that, stripslashes() takes out all the extras for you, or at least appears to. echo addslashes("This isn\'t bad for you"); This isn\\\'t bad for you echo stripslashes("This isn\\\'t bad for you"); This isn't bad for you
