I think you just answered your own question. If you can't tell them apart then use which ever is better for you. I have a Creative Nomad IIc so mp3s are better for me but ogg might be better for someone that just listens to the files on their computer
...even those apps that can be Linux driven need something quicker than a Pentium-II. Could anyone imagine running a modern window manager (e.g. KDE or GNOME) and OpenOffice on a P2 with 64 megabytes of memory?
Please tell me your kidding. While I'll admit a P-II might not cut it for CAD or video editing and 64MBs of ram is a little tight, they can make pretty good Linux and probably Windows boxes. Up to a couple of weeks ago my main PC was a k6 233 running Linux and it was quite usable. Almost everything that came with Mandrake 8.2 (other then some of the games) was usable. Sure it might take a couple of seconds to launch OpenOffice but it wasn't that bad. Hell, some schools still have Apple IIGS labs. Even a 486 would be an improvement.
I haven't used it in a long while but I thought there was a semi-idiot proofed, point and click patch floating around to do it for the ResEdit challenged.
The reason it didn't see the drive is because Apple crippled HD Setup so it only works on Apple drives. There is a patch floating around that will make it work with any drive (check net/openBSD's site) or you could use a third party formatter.
I'm sorry but you're the one being stupid here. Just because someone puts up images and text on the net doesn't mean they're giving up their copyright.
So can someone explain to me why I keep running into Java apps that crash horribly on my Macintosh?
I could be a number off things. First the JavaVM that ships with pre-OSX is rather old so it doesn't support everything. Also, are you talking about java on a web site or in finder? I know if I hit a java site with Netscape I've got a 50/50 chance of crashing but that's a problem with Netscape 4.7x, not Java
Linux can read HFS formatted disks w/o a problem. Unfortunely it can't read HFS+ (the default with MacOS 8.5 and newer). It's not a problem with floppies, zips, and other removable media because they are still formatted as HFS but hard drives are usually HFS+.
The NetBSD m68k mailing list was full of reports of SCSI problems with 1.5. Most were with Quardas but IIRC there were some with older '030 machines.
The newer snapshots have the fixes in them and the upcoming 1.5.1 update will as well. Now I think most of the work on m68k is towards converting it over to ELF.
When I was in HS a few friends and I took BASIC for an easy A. After we finished our projects in the lab we'd play around on the computers (old Mac Plus's). We'd get around AtEase, run NetBunny, Try to hack the AppleTalk shares, etc. We were bored and curious. We never deleted anything and when we'd get cought we'd get told to cut it out and undo everything. Now a days we'd find our selves suspended and probably charged with a computer crime.
Funny, I can't count the times I was just hung up on me when I asked (nicely) to be put on the do not call list.
MCI was calling twice a week for awhile. When they called back after me telling them to put me on do the not call list I asked (nicely again) to talk to a superviser. She was rude and said that she has a year to put me on that list. When I pointed out to her that it wasn't the case she cursed at me and hung up. I contacted the FCC about but I doubt it did any good.
The best way to get someone with a mac is an INIT called Gravity Mouse. At random times it will cause the pointer to drop down to the bottom of the screen. I had a co-worker going nuts with that one for a week before one the techs figured out what was going on.

Right, Probably just clicked too quickly. The editing here can be bad but this is just a little oopsie

If they produce scancodes (check with xev) then you can use something like jerukey to get them to work.

The problem with that is a lot of these "people" (I'll be nice) use fake whoisfor their domains
One problem is that (I think) the ipod is formatted as HFS+ and Linux can only read HFS.
There's been talk of HFS+ support but all I've seen is talk (though I'd love for that to change).
There's the problem. AFAIK, only MacOS can handle HFS+. Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD (probably others) can handle the old HFS filesystem but not HFS+.
Now if iPod gets popular that might change. I'd love to be able to read my HFS+ drives under Linux
My broadcaster lost the feed once for about a minute and a half. I wonder if the solar flares have anything to do with it.
If you're using KDE grab the new KDElibs (I think that's the package) and install that. The old one brake sound but the new one fixes that.
HTH

Oops! You are right. I ment mac68k not m68k.
But ABC does run ads for all the big movie companies, not just Disney.

IIRC, i.link is the same as firewire when it comes to speed. They only difference is that i.link doesn't supply power

If memory serves Mac clocks will run out at the same time, at least with Classic
I had assumed that they did it to beta test Mach.

Well, you can set it to ask for a password before letting you use it.
