Maybe everyone is tired of saying it, let me say last time: " I really like Mac OS X but I don't want to drop $2000 on a computer that is only as fast as an x86 computer at half the price. "
If you are even at levels of story submitting to/. PLEASE learn, MHZ just means number of clock cycles per second.
Some SGI's we use at broadcast are 600 Mhz machines. So, they must be slow as a P2?
As I used Linux on my PC for at least 1 year, when I moved to G5, there was something obviously lacking.
I figured it after making needless experiment to install windowmaker (fink) and figuring what a stupid thing I did.... Of course, Finder is an advanced NeXT UI:) Aka Openstep...
People moving to Apple, move dock to right or left side (based on which hand you use I guess) and try to get used to it.
Also make it "auto hide".
You will love it when you are used to it. Apple dock is at wrong place IMHO. The reason maybe is to be nice to windows converts?
No its not. I've used both, and here's what I have to say...
1. Opera eats memory almost as bad as Windows XP does.
Disable RAM cache at preferences, it RAPES memory as based on common internet user who wants speed.
2. Opera is slow.
Never heard it, its fast on my 7650 nokia PHONE
3. Opera has that stupid ad.
Sorry they aren't backed by AOL or MS, they must make money.
4. Opera isn't open source.
Some people don't like their code to be copied and pasted at Redmond.
5. Opera isn't as well-supported as Firefox.
Opera is supported by professional QA staff and company. Also there are forums at Opera some people does their best for help, without money. If waiting for support, you should try buying.
6. Opera is ugly.
Opera has skins which you can use.
7. Opera is annoying to use--Firefox has a much better interface. Simple is good.
One of Opera's best things since 3.61 version is the amazing freedom to change interface. You can make a damn complex one or one simple one. I used NO buttons since I used a logitech mouse and gestures.
" IMO Firefox/Safari are by far the best browsers out--I've tried many others and nothing really comes close. Including Opera. In fact, I'd put IE above Opera, simply because Opera is so damn slow, ugly, bloated, and has that stupid ad..."
Stupid AD you talk about also runs Slashdot ads. Its Google.
" A new feature in Safari for 10.4 is RSS feeds. Woo... Why not improve my actual browsing experience? "
As a licensed user since Omni beta 5 (now its final, doesn't crash) I smiled when I read it.
WE HAVE RSS! While browsing slashdot for instance, check that newspaper icon with "plus" on it, click, there, RSS. It sees RSS feed as a "dynamic bookmark folder", a perfect practical, simple thing.
Maybe Omni as a company tries to be nice to Apple but, dear Steve, Omni invented RSS feed sensing;)
There are theories that VPC 7 was TOO FAST on G5, nearing average PC and MS purposely slowed it down with needless cycles etc.
Guess what? It can happen. On Amiga we could run Mac emulator 1.5x fast than a native mac with same processor.
I never understood why run VPC at all btw... Yea, corporate stuff makes you do it etc. I run Thinkfree office written in pure java and must say its doing REAL well... For windows only scanner I used vuescan from Mr. Hamrick. Now have Canon which has mac drivers, still use it instead...
I know what they did with launch.com. They killed realplayer support first while I was using windows and Opera and gave only choice: "windows media player" which especially I HATE the sound quality.
Now they do lame tricks on their video services to make everyone use Internet Explorer while every browser now (including safari) supports liveconnect extensions.
So, Yahoo as I admire you are FBSD based, you have been asshole to alternative OS/Player users.
No wonder the "thing" they will offer will be DRM'ed WMA, not interested.
http://www.w3c.org (standard for xhtml), www.ecma.org (standard for javascript), www.jabber.org (standard for presence protocol, approved by ietf and internet2)
Anything can work with those standards is a choice and will work together.
I always thought if Realnetworks wasn't more "evil" (aggressive) than Microsoft, all those Linux users would pay $something to Mandrake to watch/hear DOMINATING Wmedia format.
Mplayer? Couple of "eula hacking", developers go to jail. Why not now? Since its STILL a threat to Microsoft tin sound wmedia, the realplayer.
As OSX user I am not "saved" too, ask any mac user if he/she can watch scripted wmedia in Microsoft IE for mac even!

Pure java is way to go, heheh...
Its a "smart" car, can be bought seperately from your main car and extremely useful in big cities.
I know guys driving Porsche also having one of these for everyday stuff.
It may be branded "smart" but don't be tricked, its a Mercedes and Swatch of Switzerland joint project.
Compared to Toyota etc, that car's (especially GT model) may surprise you in terms of speed etc but especially handling AND safety.
Open the motor, you will see Mercedes. Small but it is still a Mercedes with Swatch design.

There is a funnier thing but can be dangerous. Its there since at least 7.6 macos.
.doc file.
;)
;) yes I did!
Drag MS word to trash (application) and while its there, open a
OS says "The application which opens file is in trash, please restore it to open this document' or something
of course, I am not saying I moved ms word to trash accidentally
no?
;)
I don't like best ones in coding to be bitched like that.
Damn thing works on 7650? I mean a phone with "4mb ram" which Nokia lied about? Yes!
So, Opera rocks, amateur mozilla coder sux!
(did to get -1 btw)

Stupid AD you talk about also runs Slashdot ads. Its Google.
Where were you working again?
It should be w3c strict xhtml compliant.
But guess what? Anyone tries to put ads etc to their sites breaks w3c recommedations. I forced a friend to do it on a new startup shop. No way.
So, either w3c recommends new recs or they sit with macromedia etc about flash.
Also where is a mozilla browser can run on a 7650 Nokia which has 4 mb reported ram but has 3.2 mb?
Come on mozilla fanatics, tell me its outdated phone and I tell you I PAID for Opera.
I also paid for sdoubler from psiloc that zips the unused programs so I can have Realone and others too.
Oh shoot me btw...
Check www.omnigroup.com , they offer the network SDK etc Omni built on for free, would give you a clue.
Also what are you doing on mac/ mac community anyway?
No, Apple could update frameworks etc and make Safari latest to run on 10.2.x, they didn't do it.
Why Mozilla (Gecko) or Opera (Presto) can run on 10.2.x? Ask yourself...
Adwords, Adsense on Google mail are the most evil agression against privacy on email yet.
You call them "inventions"? Why bitch about adware then?
os x has services, frameworks which Linux, Windows doesn't have yet.
And Camino uses them since its a native OS X application.

The next thing is http://www.immersion.com , "touchsense"...

Its a real good way to advertise our country. Even while we break tourism records...
Ilgaz
Istanbul
Man you should live in home of that fish (Black sea region) for 1 week...
They rock! Near all of our jokes are based on them. Do they get mad? Well, as THEY write those jokes about themselves, NOT...
Oh btw, that virus is obviously not from that region.
Besides, we gave up trying to change our country name in english long time ago... Coder is turkish even?
Your government is headed by Mr. W. Bush and bunch of armageddon fanatics which makes people anxious...
NORAD too...

Why not go Carmack's way? Use opengl for gfx, use directsound, directinput for those...
My computer (Apple G5,1600) has that 5200 now.
Funny is, I saw new iMac G5 uses same 5200... So I say, don't throw away your card...
GL ide can be called "miniGL", its real similar to OpenGL while those times opengl was luxury for those P1, P2 pcs...
