> Why not just process He3 out of terrestrial helium?
Because that costs at least $6 000 000. Mining 1000kg of Helium on a moon base/mine and returning the Helium to earth (one trip) would make $6 000 000 000. I am quite sure that covers the expenses. 10 000kg would probably make enough money to aquire Microsoft?
You get spare parts thru authorized mac shops if you trade in the broken parts, practically "life time" supply of spare parts (Sun Remarketing sells parts for the really old hardware). I don't know how much the 'premium' is, because I haven't had a broken mac ever. I'm writing this on my 14:th Mac. I am a Mac-user since late 80's.

IIRC, MPEG is just the wrapper. Codecs are pluggable.

Apple uses the FreeBSD userland, because the NeXT Step has the 4.3BSD userland. FreeBSD provides a nice and consistent upgrade to the "unix" experience of NeXT. FreeBSD runs on the FreeBSD kernel, MacOSX/NeXT runs on the Mach kernel. You could use FreeBSD userland on a linux kernel too, but that wouldn't make Linux FreeBSD. Neither would the GNU userland running on a FreeBSD kernel make FreeBSD Linux.

It's not that bad, but I'd prefer to run 7.1 on a 680x0 machine.. Unless 16M or more RAM and a speedy cpu (25Mhz 68030/040 or faster) are available.

Actually, 7.6 won't run on 68000 processors and machines with '32-bit dirty' ROMs. 8.0/8.1 runs on 68040 and powerpc:s only.
Yeah, well.. like the Apollo Project. All the data and specs are in formats no longer practically readable. That means you'd have to start from scratch when sending some more men to the moon.

That kind of functionality existed in mac laptops from 1994 to 2001 (pb 500 to pb G4). I think the reason for abandoning it was the form factor and inconsistency between models (different form factor, yes). I bet your laptop is thicker than one inch, too.
Slashdot Mirror
HFS FileID:s are much like "INTEGER PRIMARY KEY UNIQUE" columns in SQL.
What's the difference between a LEGAL and ILLEGAL copy of a song or software?
None. (If the copy is identical to the original)
So? It doesn't support Ogg/Vorbis and isn't equipped with FireWire?

I suppose Skynet 1.0 is released soon.
The big deal is you'd end up with a glass 125% full of water.
In fact Microsoft was selling DOS, Windows and other software when Apple was giving away System (up to 7.0.1/7.5.5)
Yeah, I suppose you are running LocalTalk over a 56k modem or something and running a broken System 7 installation?
Try to copy the 17 Meg file with your fancy 486 running Windows 95 if that suits you better, but please stop whining.
vMac and Basilisk works ok. You need a bootable disk image and a rom dump.

It's the cpu load history graph.
Well, System 7.1 on my Quadra 950 (33Mhz MC68040, 64M RAM, 7G HDD) FEELS faster than anything on PPC.
Everything is quite instant.

Its because of the lcd.
Liquid crystals are moving inside the display.
diesel get much better mileage than gasoline. diesel is also cleaner and runs on any oil, including vegetable oils.
he needs the RAID part when one of these machines crashes.

the XServe RAID is a quite nice piece of harware RAID.
beware the 25% of those 'free' windows apps that are disguised spyware.
don't worry, osx will be optimized plenty over time.
