Ultimate Hacking Keyboard (https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com), ISO layout, Cherry Clear switches. A bit of a learning curve, but once I got comfortable with it, I experienced a significant improvement in overall input speed. I do not feel I have mastered it yet.
This makes sense. After all the French language evolved by academic consensus in order to to ensure it remained French since even before there were French people.
Probably friends with the dipshits who picked the word "ordinateur", which is a superior alternative to "computer" since all computers do is order things. Names are important.
This makes sense, because this is how the French language evolved to be what it is today: by academic consensus to keep it pure. Even before French was French.
Probably the same dipshits who picked "ordinateur" as the French equivalent of "computer". After all that's all that computers do: sort things. Names are important.
I don't need tech to know that my cat is demanding his nightly treat.
As a longtime pet lover, I have to say that this is either the stupidest thing I've heard from Bezos & Co for some time, or a genius plot to extort money from stupid people. Just jump ahead and combine it with the Amazon Dash Button (https://www.amazon.com/Dash-Buttons/b?ie=UTF8&node=10667898011) so that they can order their own catnip and chew toys.
A square spiral galaxy with straight arms? Oh, my God! It's a giant swastika!
Maybe my geometry interpolators aren't the best, but other than a couple of straight arms on one side (looking at the picture), it doesn't look all that "square" to me, much less "distinctly square".
Hollywood has probably already lined up a stellar cast for the sequel "Motion Picture Events", including Will Smith, Bruce Willis, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Miley Ray Cyrus.
Perhaps even a Jonas Brothers soundtrack and some vampires thrown in as well.
The G4 is not a SIMD processor. All instructions are fixed length (good thing if you ask me). They added 160-some odd vector instructions, which allow the 128-bit vector registers (all 64 of them) to be treated as either 16 8-bit integers, 8 16-bit integers, 4 32-bit integer, 2 64-bit integer, 8 16-bit floats, 4 32-bit floats, or 2 64 bit floats. There are also quite a few fixed point operations. All instructions take either one or two sources, and one destination, which is the most efficient instruction design since there are so many registers on the chip (you don't have to deal with registers being overwritten by single machine instructions if you don't want to.)
For the L2 cache on the 500 MHz models (half-clocking on all models) . It should hellp a lot.
You can't bend the laws of physics, just work around them. I believe the main bus (processor card to memory) is 125MHz. Processor to main short-term storage will be a problem for many years to come, to say the least.
NetBSD 1.4 runs on the Mac. You have to dedicate an entire hard drive to it (Apple's partition map isn't yet supported). External Device support is kind of sketchy, but then it's a work in progress. I'd expect the G4 Macs to be supported relatively soon.
Also, the Mac OS X BSD foundation is based on FreeBSD 3.x sitting on top of a Mach 3.0 microkernel. It should be out by next spring. I like what I've seen so far.
Macs rock (the user experience and hardware, that is, not the core OS). BSD rocks. Linux.... is all right.
My guess is that this is due to MetroWerks' continued support of the PowerPC platform, and their support for Motorola's next extension of the PPC architecture, AltiVec, which is suppposed to show up in the next generation of PowerPC chips, the G4.

What a wonderful way to piss some programmers off! Buy a bunch of these and hand them out as Christmas gifts!!
I can certainly think of some that could use them.
Oh, goodie!
