Great, as if the average mac ego isn't already out of control. Does my mac also make me tan and good looking?

I would love to see a move to x86. However, I don't expect to see it. At least not until it becomes even more obvious that the PPC chips will not keep up. As for people saying Apple should build the chips themselves, they are crazy. To suggest that a mere $4B is enough to keep up with...

Most UI have a simple file => run app that opens up a box and allows me to type in what I want to run. If it's in my path, all I need to do is name the app. It's a nice way to keep the dock from filling up.

Both windows and Linux (my other OSes) give me the ability to quickly run a command. Sometimes I'll be issuing an actual command (cp ~/file.txt ~/file.txt.bak) but most of the time I'm starting an application that is in my path (notepad, calc, etc.). Does OSX have anything like this? I...

It looks like you're running a server side java web application. Did you mean to? Vanguard

I wonder how fast XP would look if we had it running on 500 mhz G3s without DDRAM? The GUI is a little slow because it lacks hardware acceleration. However, let's not forget the fact that the hardware is at least a year behind what the x86 crowd offers.

Well duh, it's for non-humans. Sure, our experts can't tell the difference but what about cats and dogs? I heard that horses have pretty good hearing and that they love Barry White. 256 kbps recording is for bardyard romance. :) Vanguard

This made me laugh. http://www.crazyapplerumors.com/2002_06_09_archive.htm#85171052

Neyo, You're right. They gave a new look to the taskbar. It has a much different look for the shortcuts and the effects are different but it's mostly the same. I think I like the dock better. It looks nicer and the magnification is nice. Also, the way things shrink is nice when you...

If you're going to buy a hub you might consider the cisco aironet. Itsrange is far better than the aironet. On the other hand, it's more expensive. Vanguard

Well, it wouldn't work for me. While I've played with the iPod and I realize how cool it is I just don't see myself using it. Music isn't that big a part of my life and I rarely spend any time walking around or at a gym or anyplace really that an iPod would be handy. On the other hand, a...

QuackingPenguin, I get frustrated when somebody posts with so much confidence and so little education. Can you explain to me in detail why a P4 chip, the current consumer peformance king, is "shit"? Here's a hint, it's not a bad chip and I know all about the mhtz myth. Can you tell me...

I've had problems with my dock not unhiding but it's always with something I'm trying to unmount/eject. It works with files. Vanguard

Ut oh, it looks like somebody on a mac board is using his head. This must be stopped. Don't say negative things against the company. Don't suggest that a one year warranty is cheap. Don't suggest that their processors are slow. And of course, don't suggest that their ads are made up...

I don't think I've ever seen my mac go over 3 or 4. However, the machine I use at work (an E10k) sometimes reaches 150. Vanguard

I heard Steve Ballmer quoted as saying something along those lines. He said, "We don't want anybody to steal software. However, if they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours." The context was his approach for getting into oversees markets. He wants them to steal windows then...

I'm not on my mac so I can't say for sure but I think that the software update log has dates. Vanguard

Links? You have to be kidding? That's not fast. When I want real speed I just telnet to port 80 and issue the http request by hand. That's where the speed is baby. :) Vanguard

I just saw this super cool virtual desktop manager for linux. I've heard that apple doesn't want to do virtual desktops because it's complicated for the user. Well, with a UI like this it might be easier. http://www.systemtoolbox.com/bard/3ddesktop/ Anyway, check out the screenshots...

I'm taking notes as I listen. His explanation of pipelines is wrong. I don't give a crap how large the CPU is. (Although I understand it impacts the price) Ok, the detailed pipeline explaination is on target. This thing is out of date. They've added 20% more mghz while the P4 has...
