For example. Speaking about overkill, you can use the gfx card RAM on some systems when its free. Its of course, PCI Express amazing bandwidth does it.
Funny is, to check FPS of some games on such cards to prove further FPS is a lie like Mhz. Years ago, we tested Quake III on such a system and the FPS levels were below the latest home gaming card:) Of course, you feel like bowing to Carmack when you see couple of that freak cards features being used.
I guess they use a VESA mode in addition of your comment.
Also, Apple doesn't push GFX card too much while installing OS X too. Its just clever to "ask" monitor the modes it supports and go with a medium resolution. No reply? I guess it will down to 640*480
I still have no clue why I had to install Samsung Syncmaster driver on Win XP and on OS X it was detected along with its factory colour profile.
Its no "elite" thing to do, anything that carries VESA standards can handle it.
You guys argue for nothing. I am not a entourage user and I bet Eudora will work very fine (usenet reports) but I know they (MS) announced spotlight plugin/filter whatever is in the works.
I am tired of saying it and it will be last time..
Asking for money, from Mac users to play stuff fullscreen, especially after h264 is a great idea.:)
I better tell it that way...
Happy with Helix based Realplayer 10 for mac here. Yes, it plays h264 fullscreen, outperforms quicktime on fps too. It uses quicktime framework you know...
Just lets hope nobody will code a "quicktime 133t all key generator" trojan/malware. If it happens and becomes a scandal, look no place else than Apple. No, I don't need editing (!)
IM, when used for business purposes is a good tool. Installing MS Messenger, is plain funny. Especially for a news agency which everything is critical.
I was os2 3.x user and I know IBM's philosophy in general. Also, as you wrote the 40% part, I better say more openly, half of OS 2 was coded by microsoft.
Thats why I wouldn't sign it. Also, OS 2 is still used at very critical places, what about their concerns about opensource valid or not? They are "customer" you know and customer is always right. Especially customers having M16 part of their job:)
Well, its a thing to be asked at application developers. I guess the big 4 multimedia (Apple, Real, MS,various mp3 vendors) will be the first to take advantages.
Real used SSE the day it shipped, I remember on windows. For CD ripping/listening same time.
Using OS X/ G5 desktop 1600, I can't believe the opportunities that altivec stuff not used. Well, I generally find a better performing one using my cpu, not the auto vectoring etc and I use it.
I don't think they (real got 1.800.000 customers paying) will make first day attempt to move to 64bit stuff. E.g. on superpass stuff, the content producer gets its share based on seconds the content played, imagine a crashing, experimental real:)
Well, in general, its always the media stuff jumping on train first and distributed stuff like seti etc. Well, I know from Folding@home Mac team and a professional image DSP thing ( I bought, moving to 64bit didn't give any significant advantage to the apps as they use Altivec already.
Its what I know from developers posting to forums and my mail suggestions, nothing else.
What the heck Wozniak was thinking? That guy is either stupid or been used by some big company to hurt Apple.
He is a pirate, stealing years of work of real people.
Also responsible for dozens of machines crashing, problems if you think other way. No, I don't feel sorry for those pirates.
Bittorrent, a great idea is wasted by pirates. Thats why I have to pay god damn $30 more to package company to get 1982 style CDs while I have 512kbit sitting idle here and a cd recorder.
I'd get myself courted to defend RMS, Linus etc but NOT that lamer which is simply a lifeless pirate.
In fact, I used versiontracker a long time, even on windows, there was a trial or something coming with something etc.
If you be patient to trolls, I mean if they don't go beyond like "he stole my cc", its a good feedback tool. Oh, you can immediately make those accounts closed as you have developer account. Of course, with a valid reason:)
mac.com gives it free I guess, so many mac people uses it.
I missed the point you say "they picked auto". So, likely an editor from staff added it or a fan of your program submitted it as you did etc. Sorry for that.
If you mark it "development" etc, I don't think it will impress lot of lamers.
But.. The terminal on OS X . Really not very much used unless you are a coder, using grep etc. The OS X gui serves really good. May check opensource projects on versiontracker too, you will be surprised how many uses versiontracker.
I think opensource community, especially linux standards project should work on a "permission repair" utility rather than joking about the good willing people trying to help.
What they say is true, and if you continue this "open up a terminal lamer" attitude you won't have too much future in OS X or Win32.
Its number 1 thing made me switch to OS X. I hated the attitude of opensource coders. I hated the win32 as well. Linux wasn't serving my needs. Call me lamer too. Whatever.
I currently use Adium X, Growl, Quicksilver as opensource apps but their coders are totally aware of the community they serve by their own decision.
I have no money problem and paid a lot to crap in my first OSX days that I won't name, so I try to donate whenever I can.
No, you can't make a person paid 30, 40% more for usability, no geek bullshit approach, giving up thousands of games to type needless geek commands in OS X terminal.
If you aren't happy with it, don't post your stuff to macupdate, versiontracker. That community pays $50/year for hassle free program updates. You may like them or not, its your choice. I am sure there are Pixar sys admins etc there since they simply can't have time to check updates for 1000 macs/pcs they own, are they lamer too?

Nope, 512 mb can sound 'too much" for gamers but, current trend is 768 mb in pro market.

Why not install/purchase a closed to outside jabber server/client system?
I don't think the ones below will have such a problem.

Were there any kids in movie? I mean, more than normally would be?
Trailer "shouts" like "get your kids"...
Could be real evil...

There are lots of 3d (yes 3d!) FPS games running on Java 2 platform.
To save you from hassle, if you don't have windows, don't bother.
For some stupid reason that understanding is beyond my brain, they are Java but... Needs Windows to run. Speechless about it.
Oh that game you mention must be "Law and Order".
If you go mad to that stuff, stay away from IRC, especially linux convert places.
:)
I nearly lost my mind when I had this stupid idea to irc in realtime with the developers of opensource apps I support/donated.
Don't...
Mac fanboys are... Evil!
'1) opera isnt free
2) nobody wants to put up with banner adds"
Why don't give +5 to this one moderators? Thats what parent troll meant to say, he said more directly.
How much profit did Mozilla make besides from begging money and spreading FUD about IE to windows users?
If you can't afford opera, its not their fault. Just don't install it.
I am happy with Omniweb for OS X here, another paid browser which is coded by pro coders, not some jobless anti social freaks.
You guys want some reality check and even making me, the OS X guy defend microsoft.
Opera sells browsers to people which can afford and want more support.
For instance I wouldn't ask for support from a person like you.
Make a browser you can actually sell, move on.
An Apple story on Slashdot, lots of comments and it even mentions the high end powermac g5 line...
No "D" word yet?
Someone find me a good online bible etc site!
I feel very sad for poor cray/SGI customers... They are so clueless that they buy 600 Mhz cpus at best.
;)
Intel of course "knows" mhz is a myth at some point but they were happy to trick the newbies.
When they moved to real stuff like 64 bit, they couldn't continue that thing, so "mhz" levels as you said, silently disappearing from ads

My firewall figures slashdot checks my ports for open proxies and bans it for 20 hours, I added slashdot to my trusted networks because of it.

If I didn't know it/ ignorant etc, I would see 100s of port scans from a huge , evil T class machine.
Oh btw CmdrTaco, don't hack my machine

Its what I know from developers posting to forums and my mail suggestions, nothing else.
I don't know if it still exists but I remember a "free" antivirus (NOT AVG!) which is advertising supported (spyware)
It also gave loads of false positives and people lost their files.
Where? Download.com of course
Guess what? :)
I hear about that dvorak thingie since my Atari 800xl days, will definitely try once but NOT with Apple brand ($60 kb here)
IMHO MS tried to race with PDF once, remember word viewer embedding itself to browser?
I hope I don't remember wrong.
So, thats why they invented a keyboard layout for him?

I wonder how it manages to do it on OS X.
Launches 5 or 7 secs here. To make you hate me further, its also with my DRM licenses loaded for my purchased e books from amazon.
No, not at startup. They know how to code a pre binding allowed program on OS X, don't know the win part. Don't care.
When I figured Adobe Reader 7.01, that huge thing launches at same time required for Flash plugin init in my browser..
I agreed.
FYI, its 5 secs or 7. On SATA (not SCSI) G5 1600. OS X.
In fact, I used versiontracker a long time, even on windows, there was a trial or something coming with something etc.
