  1. Re:Don't test sites on browsers on Microsoft Makes Testing IE6 and 7 Easier · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The validator isn't perfect. Checking it manually against the specifications used is the only way to ensure compliance.

  2. Re:64 Bit Support? on Want To Know About the New Apple MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    Tiger supports 64-bit CLI applications (although 32-bit is still the default when compiling), and Leopard will support full 64-bit GUIs.

  3. Re:Does this mark a faster release cycle? on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 2

    It's been said that IE7.5 should be in mid-2007, IIRC.

    ext3 has a 32TiB max volume size, and 2TiB max file size.

  5. x86 only! on Google Earth v4 Released - Linux Support at Last · · Score: 1

    Oh no! It only runs on x86 Linux!

  6. Re:Did they alreay win? on FreeBSD Vows to Compete with Desktop Linux · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They aren't using similar kernels: Darwin uses XNU, a hybrid kernel. Many of the things running on higher levels are shared by both, though.

    Show #351, specifically.

  8. Re:Why would Apple care? on OSx86 Shutdown Rumors Explained · · Score: 1

    Also, Apple haven't done anything to stop people from booting other OSes, it's just they haven't used the old, outdated technologies that are the commonly used ones, such as BIOS, they've gone for more modern replacements. Why should they use outdated technology when they can use more modern ones?

    If you like at the source of apple.com you'll see that the class name for the copyright message is also sosumi.

  10. Re:Windows only? Shame on you, Bungie! on Halo 2 Only on Vista · · Score: 1

    Halo was originally demoed at Macworld 1999 by Bungie as a Mac only game, shipping later that year. It was after it was demoed Bungie was bought by Microsoft (and didn't ship for Mac for another 5 years). All that MS changed was improved graphics (as you would expect 2 years later).

  11. Re:Don't count on it.... on Apple Planning Intel iBook Debut for January? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They've said they're moving to Intel in 2006 to 2007, and will be finished by June 2007. They've also said Leopard is shipping late 2006/early 2007. Doesn't that make it obvious enough that Tiger will be shipping with Intel?

  12. Re:Read the Fine Summary on Intel Mac OS X Catches Up With Older Brother · · Score: 1

    It's hardly a fair comparison if one computer has legal software and on does not. You might as well make both of them completely illegal and steal both of them. Oh look! Both free!
