    Am i Mad?!: PowerPC Assembler

    if gcc killed off most other UNIX c compilers because it is free, then i would think that all those computer companies would have a vested interest in making it good at doing whatever architecture they use. for example, i ll bet apple has a whole little department working on improving gcc for...

    Need for Speed

    the results here are a little embarrassing. i think that 10.1.5 seems definitely usable, so even if it is not as fast as OS9, it really isn t too slow anymore, and so i was pretty surprised when that program that a 400 MHz G3 running 9.2 is better than a 1000GHz running 10.1.5. but honestly, i...

    Need for Speed

    yeah i just downloaded that program, and tried it after i saw your thread. OSX didn t fair well. i don t know how reliable this benchmark is, but i ll just say that it is not for the speed that i love OSX. 10.0 was so slow as to be unusable, and with 10.1 it became fast enough to be usable...

    ydl and partitions

    the linux program mac-fdisk can delete partitions and you can then create a bit 15 GB HFS partition, and the old mac partition will be unharmed. somehow i am not sure that macos disk utility will let you alter a partition map without formatting the disk. but i am pretty sure that it can work...

    A good multibutton mouse for X ?

    one thing about the logitech mouse is, the scroll wheel works only for scrolling. its button functionality doesn t seem to do anything. might be nice if i could map it to option-click, you know?

    recommend web technology?

    i need to draw some diagrams, and put them on a web. they need to be dynamic, so simple pictures won t suffice. is there a web markup language that has any kind of functionality like this? i mostly need trees, with boxes with text, and connecting lines. can CSS do this?

    GameCube uses PowerPC Processors

    i think that what processor the console uses is pretty irrelevant to the success of the console. the PPC processor is a low power chip very common in several embedded devices, and has been very successful in cisco routers. the single most important factor for a successful console, is making...

    Am i Mad?!: PowerPC Assembler

    i m speculating, but perhaps would sun s C compiler be an example of a good compiler? it is written specifically for one OS, for an OS that exists mostly for only one processor family, and it is written by the same company that engineered the processor. so based on lavacdmn statements, i would...

    It depresses me that censorship goes on. discretion does not seem to be the right approach to solve injustice, but that is just my opinion, and my lack of discretion has offended people before, so you are not the first to disagree with my policies. i have no idea what admins policy is. it...

    Let's (Apple) Talk ??

    enable appletalk. you can find it in the network preference pane, under the appletalk tab. then your computer should show up on the OS9 machines. as far as sharing your folder, its not too flexible. to share more folders, you have to sepcify a share point in netinfo (this can be done...

    No yes. i didn t like his idea, and i told him what i thought was wrong with it. i suppose we would need to see the original text to see how harsh it was. for example, i thought it was ridiculous when i saw him say that he would judge coding based on how much fun the coder had when...

    i started looking around the site because of this. i have just discovered the rift that happened in macosx.com community two weeks ago while looking around. i am appalled. i never really like getting involved in that kind of bickering, so i am glad i missed out on it. actually, i can t...

    i am a little annoyed to find that my posts on trip s programming contest thread in the programming forum have been deleted by him. it is true that my posts were critical, so i understand if he was annoyed. but they were not rude, and were in fact an honest answer to his question which was...

    How do I startup and shutdown network services from terminal?

    another option to blocking the ports that the services use is to actually turn off the processes that run the services. you can save CPU cycles that way for your rendering. i m not exactly sure which file you mean about SystemStartup. but all the startup files can be found in...
