    What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

    Excellent way to phrase it. :D Although, I use Gimp, not because I'm poor (which I am), but because I like it.

    What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

    You make a very good argument, however you took my quote out of context. I said "stealing software is wrong, and that will never change." I also promoted the use of free/cheap software. I doubt anyone will agree that stealing software being wrong will eventually change. Using free...

    What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

    Like I said, whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night :D Making money off software is not the reason people buy it. It is bought so they can use it. Alias|Wavefront has a great idea, and I think that most companies should follow their lead. However, just because software is...

    What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

    It didn't really come out the way I meant for it to come out. I didn't necessarily mean that breaking the law was wrong, as some laws may be unjust, but it is still ILLEGAL, and you can be punished for it. If someone thinks a law is unjust, there are many ways to go about getting it changed...

    Check out what I made :)

    It seems really cool, and fast too. I've just noticed one problem. Under the last Preference there is a heading called "User Custom," then some blank space, then a selection called "Update," which when clicked does not work. I've included a screen shot for you to see what I'm looking at...

    What's your opinion about Macwarez?!

    Whatever you guys have to tell yourself to sleep at night... Basically, piracy is stealing. You'd never use it if you'd have to pay for it? Fine, then don't use it. It's still illegal even if you don't plan on buying it. Try finding free alternatives (such as the Gimp for Photoshop, and...

    I get an error when trying to access that file.

    Desktops...

    Well, you can become a beta tester for adobe. If you don't do that, you can illegally download it at numerous places. I'm pretty sure that if I mention where I would be breaking the rules of this board, but it rymes with carracho.

    Desktops...

    The "penguin" icon is actually Adium. In the newest beta, is one of the dock icons you can choose. And the Photoshop Icon is indeed a beta of Photoshop 7, beta 51 to be exact. The one wdw_ has is a slightly older one, looks like beta 43. But everyone I've tried has been rock solid...

    Guess it's my turn, so here's mine. As you can see I'm kind of looking forward to Episode II. Just a little. :D I'm ordering my DP G4 and iPod on Monday. They will be known as ObiWan and Darth Sidious. :D

    Does this look good for an Mp3 Player?

    Love, severe psychotic tendencies, whatever. :D I like how it looks, but it's gonna have to do a lot to be able to take over iTunes. I guess if it takes up less than 50% of my CPU time, I'll try it out.

    :D Btw, love that avatar. :D

    Fire.app and AIM

    I think their old Java AIM (Quick AIM) used TOC, and the new one (AIM Express) uses Oscar. I may be wrong on that though. In any case, it looks like all AOL did was change the server's location. Adium has a fix for it already ( http://homepage.mac.com/adamiser ) and I'm sure that Fire will be...

    Fire.app and AIM

    This, although hard to read, is correct. Adium, Fire, and a few other apps connect to AIM via TOC (Adium was rendered useless, as well). Trillian and a few others connect using OSCAR. Oscar allows for extra features, which is why Adium does not support file transfers and stuff like that...

    The sad state of Mac upgradeability

    Wrong wrong wrong. I don't know much about Apple's hardware, but no PC manufacturer's customize their mobo's for performance. They try to integrate everything they can to keep the price down. Recently I bought a Soyo Dragon+ for my AMD system (which I no longer use). That mobo, which...

    New G4s available

    I don't know about the advantages of the 4 over the 3. However, the Radeon 7500 is NOT faster than the GeForce4 MX. Out of all the benchmarks I saw on that xlr8yourmac article, I believe the Radeon only won two of them.

    New G4s available

    Well since the Ti's have only been released once, I doubt you can factor them into the release schedule. There is no GeForce 3MX. This is the 4. It should be slightly faster or the same speed as the GeForce 3 (NOT the Ti500). And this time Nvidia released the MX first, and next is the...

    G4 DP 1Gig Review (I got one)

    I'm posting this from a Dual 1GHz with a studio display from the Apple Store in Tysons Corner. Good god this thing flies. Makes my 500MHz icebook feel like crap. iTunes launched in less than a bounce, and it was the first time it was EVER run (it had the agreement popup). System Preferences...

    Something doesn't add up...

    This damn thread has given me a headache. Let's just leave it at this: the new macs are faster than the old macs. That's all I need to know. Percentages are usually fluffed in marketing anyway.

    New G4s available

    Maybe these GeForce 4MX's mean that the GeForce 4 isn't too far off. :D
