Exactly. One of the driving forces behind the original hermetically sealed Macintosh getting upset about the Mac OS kernel being closed off? It seems that this guy doesn't know his history. Or more accurately, he's fully aware of the history behind it, but writing that up wouldn't draw the page-hits like a sensationalistic write-up like this does.
Those things have been chugging along for 18 months now, when their original lifetime was slated at 90 days. Many people consider NASA to be horribly mismanaged. I'm curious to know what those same people think of 3D Realms.
My post was intended as a joke, but your response brings up an interesting semantics issue.
Picture of your monitor != a photo
If using a camera to take a picture of something doesn't result in a photo, then what exactly is a photo? I've generally viewed it as being a product of the device used to capture the image. Anything output by a camera would be a photo, in my opinion. However, you seem to disagree with this notion. Is a photo defined by the content of the image? Or is it something else entirely?
This is easy enough to fix. You can take pictures of your computer monitor with a camera, then upload those. Or you can take your screenshot, print it out, scan it back in, then upload the scan. There's a bunch of ways around this. C'mon, use a little creativity, people!
Even if we don't destroy ourselves, the Earth is doomed. It will not last forever.
No, it won't last forever. But no matter what happens to humans, the Earth will long outlast us. Humans have been on this planet for about 200,000 out of the Earth's 4,600,000,000 years. That is an incredibly short amount of time in the grand scheme of things.
THis means running on intel macs can be done the same way as it is done here on ppc.
Ummm, if you mean that Vista will run on Intel Macs under a virtualization environment, then yes, it can. However, I don't think anyone ever doubted that you'd be able to do it. Well, anyone that actually has a clue about these things, at least.
Damn! My only frame of reference is a bus leaving Los Angeles on a Thursday carrying a crate of oranges and a mildly irritated Zimbabwean shoe cobbler.
Under this vitualized environment the Disk is booting off of a EFI block (holding OSX)...
Except PPC Macs use OpenFirmware, not EFI. The first Macs to use EFI were the Intel Macs. And as others have pointed out (which you repeatedly seem to be ignoring), Apple introduced legacy BIOS support for EFI Macs with BootCamp. Since that came out a few months ago, you haven't had to worry about wiping out your EFI partition.
The bigger news however is headline: vista runs on PPC.
Vista runs on PPC under an x86 virtualization environment. That's not news in the slightest. You really sound like you don't understand what role the different processors play in the whole scheme of things.
This bodes well for native installs onto the Intel Mac.
How so? I would like goombah99 to clarify this statement. As timothy points out, Vista has been installing on Intel Macs for a while. The thing is that it has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not Vista can run in an x86 emulation environment for a different processor family. It doesn't bode anything at all because it's irrelevent.
Well, if you're spending $129 then $600, you're spending $729 total. Perhaps you didn't mean to use the adverb then, which indicates that one follows the other in succession. Either way, where in the world did you pull that $600 figure from? Even the Premium version of the 360 "only" costs $399.
Well, the instructions are in Japanese, which caused the reviewer to fall under the impression that the thing was far more capable than what he could make it do by poking and prodding at it. Oh yeah, and it's considerably more expensive than the Discovery Channel one (not to mention that it doesn't look like it runs off a flashlight).
The MirrorDot mirror has the details, along with some decent pics of the thing.
Since the site is down, I'll post the most important part from it--the description of what the HomeStar is:
It is the planetarium for worldwide first optical type home. It is possible to exceed several thousand numbers of stars that to project approximately ten thousand thing stars it can see generally with naked eye of the human.

That and I'm having trouble with Linux on VMWare (but not Windows)
Really? I'd imagine you'd have a hell of a time with Linux on Windows...
You almost have to wonder if he meant to type ./esr
Well yeah, I hope they can get it to boot. How else are they going to write a good manual?
"Look kids! Big Ben, Parliament!"
Crap. I used the wrong year. Thanks for the correction.

Despite sharing my first name with the gallant hero...
I'm really sorry to hear that...Unless your last name happens to be Diggler.
I'm reminded of a cartoon that came up on my New Yorker daily desk calendar last week (the cartoon now has a permanent spot on my fridge):
Man talking to a clerk in a cell phone store: "Do you have one of those phones you can talk to people on?"
If this is what the future holds, I think I need to get started with my curmudgeonly rantings about how great cell phones were in the past.

No, but I bet it will work quite well with the PSP.

I'm pretty sure linking to a report on this on a site called GamaSutra doesn't exactly help the cause any...
Hmmm. Based on the model number you've given, I'm going to guess that it was a Washer/Dryer combo unit.

Dammit. I was gonna post that as the mirror site.
So, as much as I hate chaufinism...
I can't stand it either. Learn to drive your own damn car!
