Hi there Mr Knee, you're a jerk. If by some bizarre accident you click the following link, you will find out that the facts really were in her favor and McDonalds was being evil as usual.
best, cheap upgrade car for a two year old Mac would be?
Here's what you can get for $50-80. Minimum to use QE is 16MB 2xAGP, either Radeon or GeForce, preferred is 32+MB 4xAGP. Note: QE isn't exactly a speed boost, but it lets you turn on all the lickable stuff (animated backgrounds, drop shadows and transparency on everything, etc) without slowing down.
To bring this back towards the topic, the main reason why Mac video cards are later and/or more expensive than the PC equivalent is endianness. You have to write different ROMs for x86 vs anyone else. To put it another way: if Intel hadn't made such a screwy kludge back in the 8086 days, their competitors would be better off today.
Nope. sysctl is actually pretty small in Darwin. Mine has about 240 lines, 2/3rds of which are network-related (including 40 for IPv6). The only line related to my HD was vfs.hfs has 2 mounted instances
False. He owns one or more domains and runs their MX server of record. By definition he is an admin, and ought to know how to correctly parse email headers and detect forgery.
from the disc recording developer list...
Known issues in 6C115:
(1) [Content] ISO-9660/Joliet broken
Say, a question for you. Why is there zero discussion of Mt Rainier support on the DiscRecording list? I understand that fixing 9660 is more important, but Rainier should at least be in development by now.
Darn. Twiddling with raw hex in a boot file isn't nearly as convenient as pasting a new PICT resource in ResEdit.
Maybe if I had a spare HD that I could afford to screw up, but this isn't worth trying on my livelihood Macs.
you will see that the G4 iMac will cost you $800, plus $500 for the LCD display
No. I'm a rabid Mac addict, but you're spewing crap logic. The people who want an $800 computer want an $800 computer. You can find usable 17" CRTs for under $50 (often $0) in most cities. I already own two.
Patent on MP3 is the same as a patent on one-click in that they are both patents on software. They both claim patents on logic
Except that One-Click(tm) is "obvious to one skilled in the art", since it is an immediate consequence of any cookie database. I dare you to find a serious audio programmer willing to testify under oath that Fraunhofer's psycho-acoustic compression algorithm was trivially obvious a decade ago.
maybe it shows on Linux (I don't even know if hidden shares are announced) but it shouldn't.
SMB definitely announces hidden shares, but "polite" clients are coded not to display them to the user. As an IT guy, I much prefer having an impolite client for my own use.
A shared printer on Jaguar can be accessed as an lpr printer
True, but I need the opposite. The family printer makes more sense attached to our trusty old PowerBase 240 (OS 9.1) in the den, rather than to my Pismo on the coffee table. Also, my wife won't switch her iBook to OS X until I can assure her that everything will work perfectly. Ah well, hopefully I'll catch a decent G4 on Ebay sooner or later.
SMB server browsing. It's not quite perfect yet; it should be integrated into Finder --> Network, and it doesn't show me admin shares (C$). But unlike Sharity, I can mount as many SMBs as I want.
Subpixel Antialiasing. I'm really surprised more people haven't mentioned this yet. Font smoothing on my Pismo is much nicer than in 10.1.
Integrated Finder Search, and Watson too. Much better than Sherlock 3. 'nuff said.
Faster, faster Pussycat! In 10.1 I would cringe in horror every time I accidentally opened a folder with 30+ items, because arranging the icons seemed to be an O(n^2) algorithm.
There are still a few kinks though. Many of my favorite Haxies stopped working. Several apps with kernel extensions need to be reinstalled. And a warning: Jaguar Printer Sharing is completely incompatible with OS 9 Printer Sharing, in both directions. I was hoping this would be the update to let my home network finally work, but it's not going to happen.
No, she's using OS X, but also running at least one Classic-mode application: "Are you sure it says 'error -7531'?" "Yes, I'm sure." "Macs don't do that." "Mine's doing it."
I emailed an offer of free tech support to her about an hour ago. Wonder if she'll reply.
...because other (former) Linux users are doing the job for them. Between Tim O'Reilly, plenty of folks here on / and various others, it would be difficult for geeks not to know that OS X is "Unix Inside (tm)".
Jordan Hubbard (pre-employment): "it was impressive just how much "Unix stuff" did work exactly as I'd expected."
David Coursey: "if all I wanted was a Unix (or Unix-ish) OS I could actually use, I'd choose Mac OS X"
Chris Coleman: "I didn't have to dual boot. I could use my Unix applications on the same screen"
Lazy admins are the reason why many networks are insecure.
The Prosoft client is not for Mac sysadmins. This client is for Mac end-users in a corporate environment that only has MCSEs and maybe one old Netware guy. Folks who would otherwise be excluded from Netware servers because no one is willing to help get them connected.
That said, the Prosoft client is a bad choice for most situations. It's $149 per client, which rapidly exceeds the cost of buying Novell 6 with Native File Access (aka No Client Needed).
Auckerman, where exactly would I find the documentation that teaches me the Netware protocols, and how to convince 10.2 to use them directly? Right now I use FTP.
All I ask for is a unix front-end with some simple features: copy&paste works consistantly; consistant keyboard short-cuts (i.e.: CTRL-V *always* pastes, not sometimes); doesn't have a million configuration options; smooth anti-aliased fonts *everywhere*; one that doesn't require special hardware (I'm thinking os-x); and double-bufferd screen drawing
I really wouldn't say that an iBook counts as "special hardware"; the term "cool hardware" is often used. Perhaps you meant to say "runs on commodity x86 PC". But you didn't.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it gaurantee a right to privacy. If privacy is your cause, then the NRA might not be a good choice.
Given that the question is about neither privacy nor guns, why did you bring this up? Are you suggesting that he use a gun to shoot anti-environmentalists?
p.s. Don't forget Amendment IX.
What does this mean for OS X?

GCC 3.2 Released
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
This is really bad timing for Apple folks.
AFAIK, the entirety of Jaguar is compiled with GCC 3.1. Replacing all the libraries with v3.2 is gonna be some mighty huge software updates...

There are so very many people who want a Mac exactly like that it makes my heart ache. Apple is missing out on a lot of unit sales.

Will someone please mod up comment #4222630??? The most likely answer is KFox hasn't bought enough RAM.
Note that window buffer compression is enabled by default in Jaguar. I still wouldn't run OS X with less than 256MB though, and 512+ is much faster.

ASP apps running on it that maketing had contracted out without IT knowledge
That's not a valid reason to stick with IIS.

$900 for a G4 with an open bay and AGP. That's what I want.

...but it's unfortunately true. Both Rage 128 Mobility and Radeon Mobility have built-in support for dual display. And it really can be done.
Apple does this from time to time. For example, they underclocked the Mac IIse so that it wouldn't compete with the more expensive IIci.
