People like you make me sick (and give people like me a bad name).
The G4's a fine proc, and AltiVec allows it to be faster than x86 procs for specific tasks, but wonder processor it is not. And it doesn't ship in the iMac or any of Apple's portables.
I think it stands to reason that K-Meleon is nothing but a simplified interface to the Mozilla renderer, but it got its own Slashdot story...
The interface is half the experience, maybe more. Neoplanet may lack its own renderer, but it/is/ a browser. Besides, the article made it plenty clear that it wasn't a true alternative browser.
Apple's newest computers ship without active cooling. They've been able to reduce the heat produced by their systems to a manageable level.
While admittedly I wasn't considering a Willamette purchase, it certainly increases the barrier to building a P4 system. This is obviously the result of the higher clock frequencies, but is it really necessary? Does anyone else forsee a lackluster public opinion on the P4? A 1 lb. heatsink? Imagine what the fan might sound like (40 cfm!)
I've been using RR in Houston since the "beta test" (a bit over a year...) and when it's working, it's great. The upstream sucks, but it's sufficient. The downstream on the other hand is very good.
However, my area (I'm in northwest Houston) has experienced frequent (at best (least) once a month, usually more), unexplained outages. This isn't just me and my line integrity, it's everyone within a 5 mile radius that I know has RR.
These last two days it has been on and off every 5-15 minutes. The cable light has gone off twice^H^H^H^Hhree times since I started this post. And all I can get is "let's restart your modem" or "Well, we're not showing an outage in your area" or whatever. It sucks. The tech support is pointless but, thankfully, pretty friendly and willing (if you bitch, of course) to give you some sort of refund on your bill.
Getting DSL here now is impossible. We've tried at work to get some sort of broadband solution but we can't get anyone to get us service in a timely manner. So I guess SBC is a little overloaded...
My whole feel on broadband providers is they don't care too much about the customer, just the customer's money. They're way too willing to take your money, but not very willing to back their claims up. I wish my internet connection was/really/ 100x faster, because then I could upload family videos or whatever to relatives in a timely manner. Sure, I'd use it for warez too, but there are legitimate uses for a fast upstream connection. Stuck at 20kBps tops for now, I suppose:/
Maybe six months ago, I was this close to just wanting to say, "I'm going to take three months and write a Game Boy Color title." I was going to take our old Commander Keen game, because I was into that kind of, "OK, I've been programming this high-level API where one texture is more memory than all of our old games put together used to be."
Ooh ooh! That would be so cool! Heh, I'd love to play Commander Keen on a Gameboy Color... I'd buy one expressly for that purpose. Erm, I'm sorry, got a little bit nostalgic and stuff... But I think a Commander Keen GBC game would kickass and sell a lot, too:)
I've never seen anything to support this "one copy's legal" claim. It seems to me that I should be able to do whatever the fuck I want with something I own, in America, at least.
So, anyone, if you even see this, could you clarify this issue? Sounds like a bit of FUD to me, but I'm just paranoid.
It's the liberal Democrats who want to take away our freedoms to protect the children (see: gun laws).
The Republican party may not be innocent, but the Democratic party is just as guilty. I think MTV had a larger part to do with Clinton's election than an overzealous religious bigot...
This isn't the first time Apple's tried a new, "advanced" monitor cable. There'll be an adapter, just like there was with the 7100 (I think it was?)...
As for connectors, there're several different connectors, the old ATi Rage Pro that I, heh, think you're thinking about (I have a couple of em at work), have aqn older style Digital Flat Panel connector, and the Apple monitors with digital connectors have all come with a newer type (I believe it's the same connector on the Hercules Geforce DDR-DVI) .
(Are there only two different digital connectors? DFP and DVI seem to stick in my head... Digital Flat Panel and Digital Video Interface...)
Well, I read the rumors sites not for factual information, but for fun:)
I mean, you don't think I take everything I see on there with anything more than a grain of salt, right? I used to read MacCentral and MacNN too, but/., k5, hardocp, and e2 take up a lot of my time now too;)
I too regret getting my dad hooked on MOSR. He thinks he knows everything about Apple...

Keep in mind that when an object is in front of another, it can block details. Such as a screw or button. Notice the curve af the grill, and then consider that in the frontal view, the third "thing" (since it may be a button or something besides a screw) might be blocked. That's what I figured.
Also, regarding the Studio Display, there are slight, subtle differences. Who knows. But explain the transparent 17" CRT. Or at least, try and fake one like it;)

What kind of qualifications/credit does MacJunkie have to it's name? Just curious...
(Keep in mind, we're all speculating on speculation.)
I personally hadn't heard of The Mac Junkie until the MOSR cube fiasco. I'm a bit of a huge Apple fan (not to the point of a zealot, I think, but definitely a fanatic). I check out Apple Insider and MacOS Rumors daily, and, since they don't cover everything, As the Apple Turns for a bit of variety.
The Mac Junkie just might be trolling. First, the email to Ryan Meader. Okay, Meader runs a rumor site. Maybe he'll post the rumors he hears? So he does. And then TMJ calls Meader a fraud. The hits go up. The readership increases. CHING CHING!
Now, several other rumor sites jump into the cube fray, and all recieve Apple attention. Apple Insider (who has posted pictures/drawings of new Apple products several days in advance before) posts some pictures, which will no doubt get a lot of hits. Mac Junkie calls Apple Insider frauds. The hits go up. The readership increases. CHING CHING!
Perhaps MOSR was right regarding the slide out handles?
It looks like Apple is streamlining their design a bit, if this is true.
Also, if the cube picture is a fraud, what about the others? I suppose it would be too easy to say the 15" Studio Display looks like a scaled down 22"er, but the crt monitor?
This isn't the first time AppleInsider has posted stuff before the announcement. TheMacJunkie is probably feeling a bit stupid about now, after proving an ass of themselves (regarding the MacOS Rumors thing).
I'm thoroughly convinced that the cube will prove itself to be a reality tomorrow and am both excited and disappointed. Excited because, well, it's a cube! It's cool;) Disappointed because I've watched a lot of the streaming broadcasts and enjoy the surprises immensely. It's still really damn cool:)
Yeah, and the more he responds to trolls (this is the first time I've trolled, like ever) the more people see he's an idiot and a karma whore. And since I know you're reading this Nathan, go back to institute or something, or maybe run LinuxPPC on some Macs. Moron.
For a while now the low-end G4's have been shipping on Sawtooth motherboards. It's not really possible to know which one he has. So, in conclusion, don't be an ass.
Oh, Uhm, gee, I'm sorry. I'd been up for 39 hours at that point, so I'll blame my mistake on that.
I guess, three different Windows products is... easy, I suppose. You could just take NT 98 and CE and sell those, but that's not what you or the original poster meant. It'd just be three companies selling Windows, like three companies selling cars. Some'd be optimized more, I guess, and some'd be easier to use. Or something. Really difficult to define three/actual/, separate, divisions of Windows since there are so many different possibilities, though.
Anyways, I'm sorry. I've been making really stupid mistakes lately... this is yet another one...
That's three, but I really feel there should be a hardware company, too. Also, perhaps, a multimedia company that would make the xbox, maintain directx and so forth. That's 5 distinct (aside from mm making the hardware xbox (maybe hardware should make the xbox and license the technology from multimedia?)) companies. I can probably think of more. Oh, someone needs to make development tools, and, while it could (and probably should) be thrown in with multimedia or office due to ms's insignifigant presence in this market, a desktop publishing/video company.
So to recap, we've got: Windows Office Multimedia Internet Hardware Development
...and maybe a pro graphics company.
I actually think that would be kind of cool. MS's hardware is, in general, superb, and their other products aren't half bad until you start mixing things up. Multimedia seems kind of shaky, they'd HAVE to have the xbox to make a profit, I feel. I really can't think of a company that... wait. They'd have Windows Media Player, they could sell the server sidestuff and whatnot.
This makes sense, I feel. These are the 'big' categories of the software market that MS has a hand in somewhere. Perhaps I'm just being myopic and am totally missing something. If I am please tell me, it's hard to notice those things:/
Anyone who sais that conflict of MAC addresses runing out is tottaly blind. Hardware manufacturers have run out of MAC addresses long time ago (how many years is it since we use networks with MACs? 20?). So what manufacturers do? They assume that the propability of you getting two cards with same MAC address is almost impossible, but it CAN happen..
Well, uhm, are you sure they've ran out? I know it's been 20 years, but uhm, 461 quadrillion (give or take a few hundred trillion) is an awful lot of MAC addresses.
