Remember we joked with Apple, Amiga people?

Amiga Sells AmigaOS
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
I remember an Apple II emulator running on Amiga which performs 1.5 times better than same cpu running Apple.
It was real hard to use it though, especially near impossible for warez people. Needed Apple disk drive and Apple rom chips.
I now own an Apple G5 and using OS X, with 768mb ram... Guess what? Sometimes a question pops into my mind, what would happen if Amiga Inc. was well and alive (speaking about days they ship 1200,4000 etc) with THIS kind of cpu, hardware?
IMHO its also the amazing coder scene... They made never updated Alice sound chip 8 channel via coding while its 4 channel.
Realtime mix stuff you know...
Also remember the Newtek (if I remember right) "abusing" the machines backmasking(?) to open hundreds of lines of ham screens and show 4096 colours at hi res (not ham) mode...
There must be a way the OS "senses" the prebinding broken but it makes you mad sometimes. See, my system log, SlashDock is a RSS newsreader sitting at dock btw:

I can guarantee that "if you punch it will die" was complete bullshit. How I know? I booted my Atari to DOS 2.5 just 2 months ago via punched diskette...;)
It dates back to 1987 or something. So.. 17 years old I guess without a single bad block. At last we have proof! lol;)
I really wonder Ghost developers face when they first read that article:)
Like, Shock?
*nix only and Mac guys maybe not knowing it, Ghost is one of rare good codes coming out of Symantec and the primary purpose of it is DATA SAFETY lol... So, its like a huge joke.
Same here, I ended up buying ThinkFree office which is a Java suite (runs anywhere etc).
I don't even mention ThinkFree runs faster than OpenOffice, the real problem was my native language based on latin... Damned native chars didn't appear at all...
Open sw, gpl fans I won't be checking replies to this message;) I know this is/.
I remember Amiga had much better word processor than WordPerfect named "Prowrite". What happened to it?
About waking Amiga users? Well I moved to PC, than Mac but I sure remember people here in Istanbul made entirely professional (which sold really well) Amiga magazine with a single Amiga 2000 than Amiga 3000... Better ask friends at www.amigart.com , its the roots of that famous site. Those were the days you could find "Assembly Course" in a computer magazine, not just "new product press releases"...
Well, I play Warcraft 3 on my mac, recently purchased frozen throne too..
So, some "good opensource guys" made a clone of battle.net, (which provides good anti piracy method via CD key auth.), removed that mechanism than Blizzard sued them?
I should support? nah... I support a company respect to my platform instead.
Your kind of people are not on Macs, that makes me happy.
I have like 3 opensource stuff running here, on my OSX, I compiled them with tools comes with OS X.
Why people install linux on x86? Thats the only alternative to closed source Windows.
Darwin is OPEN oh sorry the GUI ( 180 ?? Ss 20:26.52/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.fra mework/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Resources/WindowServer -daemon) NOT.
That has a good reason.
But, running linux on G4/G5 and telling it on Slashdot has a good income, "karma".
If its plain 64bit, which we can all do at home via passing -fast option to gcc, it means nothing.
The power of G series comes from Altivec engine which is simply a vector processor like Crays. If the code doesn't use those instructions, it will be just 64bit code, which is also proven to be slower sometimes.
An example, G5 1600 Mac, with 768 ram, 1280*1024 Quake 3=300 fps. Why? Altivec instructions are used. If not? Well, it would be 40 fps or something.

If all people, including you had installed the REAL Java of 2004, named JRE 1.4.x from Sun, nobody would have problems with real java at all...
They know people still uses that outdated crap so they don't hesitate to code couple of new lines.
Who are badly suffering from ms jvm issue? As usual, OSX, BSD, Linux, Solaris users.

Er, guy joked it seems ;) Now, if he mentioned the famous "sheep" issue, it would be real evil ;)
Compression on a REAL filesystem. Like, compress text file folders ( /usr/doc ) on the fly.
I remember Plus 95+DriveSpace 3, at fat 16 days, guess what? Even it worked fine. BTW, it has nothing to do with drivespace 2 or 1.

Atari 800XL+1050 disk drive days, we used to "take out" a part of the diskette and use it doublesided ;) Now that was real too.
It was 5.25 of course
On Amiga 500, we could run Apple 1.5x faster than real Apple. I totally forgot the name of software, sorry.
It needed real Apple roms, so I didn't suscess running it. Some other Amiga user may give clue imho.
Maybe they (Blizzard) check Slashdot and say "Well no Linux users will buy our games"... Eh? ... a happy mac warcraft player...
On a G5, 1600 Mhz I get real good framerates with Nvidia thing. I want to ask if it supports/or support 64bit stuff.
I asked 2 times so... I mean, its stupid to ask further.
I wonder if the game supports 64bit instructions of g5? Or will support?
;)
I mean, Apple says its simple as gcc --fast but as a user I don't buy it
I hear it will have AMD 64 bit version, being a G5 owner I wonder if it will support 64bit on mac too? or if supports already?
Game will cost huge to me (likely, Fedex will earn more than epic) so I wonder that thing.

Any way we can revoke our Slashdot accounts btw? Its said "impossible" on FAQ, should I beg to VA or Cmdr Taco?
In a place like Slashdot, by most Linux users I see my posts get "flamebait" over simple desktop usage claims.
You really think ANY of Mac users will actually care about the linux crap mentioned here?
Let me say, no sane mac user will install linux on their OSX, pros are out of question since some of them makes 10.000 dollars/HOUR.
There is no reason to install that OS dominated by anti social and psychopatic geeks.
Flamebait this too, fucking moron.
Like I care about the mecca of antisocial geeks...
Back to iMovie dvd editing, sorry.
