  1. Re:News? Yeah right. on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 1

    Just like the loads of undercover Apple marketing at Slashdot ;-)
    Seems like they've entered the world of the corrupt...

    Well, I'm just kidding, we all like this stuff, right? :-)

  2. Re:Since it runs X11, just use that on another PC on Mac mini Sans Wires - Batteries Inside the Case · · Score: 1

    Sure, but when your friend has arrived at your place his battery ran out, because it only lasts for 2 hours...

    I like the experiment, by the way.

  3. Re:3.2 GHz PowerPC Xbox? Has APPLE heard of that? on I, Cringely On A Momentous Week · · Score: 1

    ...so you compare a Xbox360 directly to an Apple computer? Sure, they have the PowerPC CPU in common...

    It constantly is...

  5. Linux on Mac on Load Linux on the Mac mini · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I initially bought my 12" iBook G3 to install Linux on it. I chose for the iBook because of the size/battery life/price. It was going to be my first mac, I didn't even work with one before.
    After all, I did install Linux on it (YDL), but I didn't use it for longer than an hour! Before that time I used Linux as the OS on my PC. It's just because the sharm of OS X I didn't use it.
    Now, 1,5 years later, I bought a Mac mini and I'm not planning to install Linux on it... I'm totally OS X'ed.

    Plus add the fact that important stuff like Airport Extreme won't work.

    The Logic Board failure you're pointing at is the one with G3 iBooks:

    The guy seems to have a G4

  7. Not a very large update... on Apple Updates Power Mac Line · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Just a small speed bump. And no dual core G5 yet unfortunally.

  8. Only a Windows client... on RealNetworks Invests in Legitimizing Free Music · · Score: 1

    Why no Mac/Linux client?
    The interface shown looks very Aqua-ish.

  9. Re:logos on Mac mini's New Friend · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just scratch it off with a cube of sugar. Good old trick works always.

  10. Re:why under an APPLE group/heading on CherryOS On Hold · · Score: 0

    Why under an Apple heading?
    CherryOS claims to be an OS X emulator for the PC platform.

  11. The 18th service on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Fetch and read /. news

  12. Look! It's a nerd! on Logitech MSN Webcam Codec Reverse-Engineered · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ear-, nose- and belly button- rings will be available soon!

  17. Re:Dude... on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1

    You can't just 'move the jumper back', because you have to solder it back. No way you can solder it back with so much precision that it can't be seen...

  18. If the two models really have the same CPU... on DIY Mac mini Overclocking · · Score: 1

    ... I don't think it's a bad thing to overclock the 1,25 GHz. to 1,42 GHz., because the same case also holds the official 1,42 GHz. Technically speaking that is.

    One big thing is that you are just throwing away your warranty, and I don't think that's worth the 170 MHz...

  19. Re:Something I've never understood... on Torvalds Joins Anti-Patent Attack · · Score: 1

    I think a process is called 'complex' when it's got a huge 'wow!' factor for a certain group of people, or maybe something that can be used in many different concepts but hasn't been used at all in history...

  20. The catch...? on New Legal Center for Open Source Projects · · Score: 0

    So... what's the catch?
    This couldn't be all charity, or...

  23. Re:Fairness on Canadian iTunes Music Store Opens · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah. Here in Europe the price of a song on iTMS is 0,99, so that's about USD $1,31 US or $1,67 CDN! That's globally 33% and 66% higher, respectively.

    So hey, don't complain ;)
