From Taco's update: Simply hiring a copy editor to purge these changes fundamentally alters the personality of the site, and my opinion is that alteration is for the worse.
To the best of my knowledge nobody is asking you to hire a copy editor to clean up the comments made by readers. We are simply asking for a certain level of professionalism in the main story summaries that are posted by the site admins (I refuse to call you guys 'editors', as you clearly have some animosity towards anyone who actually performs an editorial function).
Now that I've managed to get the front and back mobo pictures loaded, it doesn't look like there's a jumper block anywhere. I guess they're either controlled by EFI or by those resistors near the backside of the processor socket.
Something to remember about the last few batches of socketed processors in Macs (G3s and G4s): the FSB, voltages, and processor frequency settings were controlled via a series of unlabeled jumpers on the motherboard, which had a prefabbed jumper block taped onto them (warranty void if removed blah blah blah). I'm sure if they're using a similar mechanism that it will only be a matter of time before someone figures out the jumper scheme and posts them. Then again, maybe EFI handles all of this now. Anybody familiar enough with EFI to know?
IIRC, Word macro viruses on a Mac tend not to be nearly as damaging as their Windows counterparts (less ties into the system and other Office apps, etc). However, the big problem is that Word for Mac acts as a vector of transmission. Word docs that contain macro viruses that don't affect the Mac in any way can wreak havoc as soon as they're opened on a Windows machine (assuming someone clicks the 'run macros' button on opening the file).
Anyone know what sort of performance hit there is running the current Firefox release under Rosetta? I mean, do the Flash ads stutter or anything? I'm assuming it would be a better browsing experience than I currently get on my iBook (G3/600).
If this were the case, it would have shades of their OS X 10.1 update CD debacle. Basically you could take the free 10.1 update CD [that you could walk into many CompUSAs and pick up off the counter] and convert it to a full 10.1 install CD. The update CDs had a file on them that basically flagged them as an update. If you imaged the disc, removed this file, then reburned it, it would act as a full 10.1 install CD.

You tell him! Not to mention that you outrank him...
Case in point from this very article, ninth paragraph, describing how long a slashdot article must be:
Good God, man! Didn't you read the article? Include the URL! : p
I find it very interesting when I encounter people that are totally meticulous, yet leave the seat up when they're done.
*correction: Discovery Channel, not History Channel. Whoops.
Well, there's the reason why right there. It probably went to some guy who built an awesome motorcycle!
Indeed. We'd be celebrating Ben Franklin Day in the same way our friends across the pond celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.
Anyone with a quarter of that man's patriotism, devotion, and tenacity could move mountains.
And the thought that in modern times he'd be locked up under the PATRIOT act is truly sad...
derrr...nevermind...
This is about Ben Franklin. Why the Einstein pic?
Everyone knows that it won't reallty be usable until it hits Web 3.1.
I worked at a place like that. While it was a fun place to work, unsurprisingly, very little work was ever done.
Something tells me a followup meeting was scheduled to discuss the success of the presentations given at the prior meetings.
I'm not sure I understand the findings. I know I'm always pleased when my boss "delegates" his full workload to me at a meeting.
Mod parent up! The stuff doesn't grow on trees, y'know...

This is a move they should've made when the Pentium II came out.

Does dark matter hold our universe together in a web?
I think it's more like invisible strands of spaghetti.
PublicRadioFan.com is a great site to help find some good NPR/PRI/CBC/BBC/etc stations broadcasting whatever show you wanna happen to listen to...
It's not plagiarism if you're quoting yourself.
Even that $299 Dell will kick some serious ass when you put a 7800 in it.
Except that $299 Dell most likely doesn't contain an AGP or PCI-E slot. Soldering that slot onto the board would add a few cents to the cost.
I think I'll wait until they get LeibnizOS running on one of these things.
