Try top -RF on the Mac. That means it won't try to figure out each and every single program's RAM usage, both real, virtual, combined, and a few other thing's that I'm probably forgetting. That takes up quite a bit of CPU power...
Upgrade maybe? If you upgrade to Tiger and install Xcode 2 with all of the fun tools that it comes with (Core Image FunHouse!) you will definitely re-think your opinion.
I think it is time for the obligatory "You can't saturate an AGP 8x bus" comments and the "Why are you bitching about PCI-Express now if you won't be able to do all that much with it?" angry yelling.
Hey, this piece of paper here that I scribbled on and then tried to erase didn't look like new after I had supposedly ERASED the markings on it. I filed a lawsuit against the eraser company... waiting for a reply.
Essentially, people got pissed at Apple because it broke and they didn't figure out what to do. My 1st Generation 5 GB iPod lasted over 10 hours when playing songs. That's pretty good for something that old. I treat my stuff nicely. If you treat your stuff like shit, it will treat you like shit. It happens. (Shit)
XP's firewall has been called by a number of people to be crap. Why? Because it isn't the greatest firewall in the world. Look up the differences between the Firewall in XP and a real NAT firewall.
1.21 Gigawatts is the expected output of the fusion reaction.
In unrelated news, a small, sub-division of the research group has created a new device called the Flux Capacitor which they claim will allow time travel.
That IS a prototype Death Star. It was built at the Maw facility, a top-secret place surrounded by black holes. It was so remote and secretive they did not know the Emperor was dead until Han Solo and Chewie stuble upon a recon ship the Maw sends out and are captured about 17 years after Endor.
The prototype was smaller and much less powerful. That was where the super-laser was first designed and perfected. The first REAL Death Star was built around a prison world, using the prisoners as slave labor. After construction was done, there was so much debris in the atmosphere that resupply ships could not get to the prison. And the prisoners couldn't hunt for food because the jungles that surrounded the prison were filled with nasty animals. Eat you alive and stuff.
The Second Death Star, BTW, had millimeter wide heat dispersion vents instead of the proton-torpedo sized one on the original. It was also increased in size to allow for more of those vents.
It took longer for the first one to be built because of the prisoner/slave laborers. The second was built with storm-trooper construction crews and droids, so it went faster. Both took a while though... and the second one was only about 60% completed. The living quarters for the crew weren't built yet, only enough for the construction crews to live in were done. The weapons system had a higher priority than the living quarters. Go figure.
The Star Destroyers that you see in the movie are Victory-class Star Destroyers. They are smaller and can enter an atmosphere. The Imperial-class Star Destroyers are larger and cannot enter an atmosphere. There is an Imperial II-class Star Destroyer that went into production shortly after Yavin. The Super-class Star Destroyer is 9 km long (1 km for an Imperial) and, "bankrupted an entire system" according to one of the books. 4 total built, all destroyed but 1 which was captured by the New Republic.
Leia's adoptive father and mother were the King and Queen of Alderaan. That's why the dad is in the Senate (and later Leia). They are the Royal Family. Luke gets it in the shorts and is stuck on the armpit of the galaxy.
If you have a phone, just dial them up! If you are worried about them tapping your phone then:
Just mail a floppy disk with a picture on it... but a very high-res picture. And at the bottom-right, just a few pixels are changed to read the message. It could work with a number of images, or one image in a number of places. That way, it is unbreakable unless the images are viewed directly.
The Israelis do not use the methods described by you. Israel is a bit more forceful in its questioning than the United States, but since Abu Ghurab, the title is unquestionable in the hands of the good ol' USA. Next time you want to spread some anti-Semetic FUD, do it somewhere else.
If you already have a PCI NIC then you can have 2 NICs on your computer-- not a bad thing.
Integrated video is crap. Most use the main processor and RAM. Unless your integrated video actually has its own processor, you can seriously degrade performance.
Might as well get the integrated stuff and then disable them later or something.
It's been well known that Tiger will be coming out in the first half of 2005 and well reported as Tiger has made the trek from Alpha to Beta to Final Candidate to Gold Master.
Interesting note: the PowerPC chips used in Macs were the first 64-bit chips in personal computers... but they were only used in a 32-bit mode because, at the time, 64-bit computing would be too hard to implement. Going from 24-bits to 64-bits was too large of a jump.
"You have to use an encrypted web browser connection, so if you know that as the geeky https, you have to use an https connection, so that provides the real protection to it," Schmidt said.
So... uh.... wha???
If she captured packets, then yeah, this idiot might have a valid point but what the hell is this guy talking about otherwise?
And this isn't hacking. It isn't even cracking. It's "I guessed a freaking password! But didn't know jack crap about anything else so I got busted. Oh well. At least that Schmidt guy will give me 'Computers for Idiots" when he is done with it."

Yeah, but just type in Administrator with no password to compromise it. I call that a flaw, Microsoft says it is a feature.

Saga also works nicely.
Of course, if you are really cheap, you can gather any Mac running Tiger, get one that runs Tiger Server, and use Xgrid. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xgrid/).

I wonder if they just get a link to http://www.apple.com/macosx?
Who gets the royalties?
In Tiger AppleScript will now auto-complete stuff that you type in the Script Editor app. That way, you can "learn as you go" by typing.
Pennies are not legal tender in debts of over $20. So nickels would be fine, dimes are good too, but pennies aren't good over $20 debts.
Hey! That's my IP!

But the x86-64 chips still don't have as many registers as the PowerPCs....
DAMNIT STOP ALREADY! So freakin' stupid..... I thought we decided that they weren't funny....
Thank goodness I got mine today!
Are we sure it isn't another April Fools story? Microsoft doing something good?
Uh, no. April Fools Jokes are funny....
So... uh.... wha???
