Just be glad it only cost you $49 to find out that its a very bad idea to run as root. Oh and why were you running as root again? Enabling admin privs on a user account will give you just about all the normal, every day, things you need root for; for the rest there's sudo.

Depending on how close their Vector Unit is, in terms of semantics, to AltiVec, this could be a very nice solution to the processor problem. It is still a bit of a ways off before it could be put in a computer anyway, but it shows some definate promise.

This is a bit tangental to the conversation, but it should be pointed out that Sony will do its best to not subsidize the PS3 hardware. Of course, for the begining of the console's lifetime it will have to be subsidized, but their overall goal will be to have the Cell chip be cheep to produce...

From Dictionary.com: So it would work for wine too.

Well it was working for me. But today when I synced it, it decided to move just about every date in my calendar (and resurect some I'm sure I deleted) to todays entry in my datebook. When I hit datebook today it took about a minute to load up. Then I had the joy of moving all my dates back...

Any ideas what it changes/adds/fixes?

I wasn't talking about getting the OS to run on x86. That would be a hurttle, but nothing major. It was applications that are going to be a bitch, and while its possible to create a FAT binary, think about all the apps that are on OS X now that arn't fat, and the number of apps that probably...

Umm.. how would going to sparc (not sparq!) help? It runs at a slower clock speed than the G5 will run at, and even if its faster than the G5, it won't help the mhz myth. It also is a totaly different arch, so you would have to get all new apps. With the G5, while your apps might not be...

Well so much for the domain name. Looks like they will have to buy it back. Also wouldn't playing back movies and things on your phone burn the battery like nothing before? It would be cool if 'Navi' existed though, even cooler if you could skin it like the Lain's Navi.

Im looking forward to QE and USB printer sharing. I hope that they will bring back the Minimise in Place feature some time, it sounded like it could be very usefull.

It should be noted that this is the embeded G5, which is a PowerQUICC and not PowerPC processor. Its not really a CPU as you would have in a computer. Its got the G5 core, with lots of other circuitry on the die to provide digital signal processing and the like. The PowerPC G5 (the one...

Very new computers, So basically my 4 month old iMac is out of range for the $20 update.

You probably mean Linux, because I damnwell know that I can't install Solaris on my HP box. You seem to be really confused as to what UNIX is.

It works with USB printers as well I have heard, and is part of the USB printer sharing. It would just just about as much, asuming that they are streaming the mp3's off your ocmputer. You wouldn't have the problem of people doing searches for files, but you will have the problem of...

I hate the pause. Its not a problem with some mp3's but when I play my rips of albums that are supposed to sound like they are one long song its annoying. Its also annoying on live albums like Pantera's 101 Proof, as he is talking at the end of one track to the begining of the next, so there...

But from what I can see, iCal is only a calendar, which is just one part of Palm Desktop or Entourage. So if you only have the Palm Desktop Calendar open, you also have a single window (discounting the tool bar) playlist style app, that also has an interface for installing files on your Palm...

They will if you pay for the service, and aparently you get a discount if you stay with them (for the first year). Yes I can imagine that, and the IT/Network person in me is crying, and these arn't tears of joy. This had better be damn configurable, otherwise we will have some massive...

iCal doesn't impress me, its nice to have a vendor neutral calendar app, but what details that are available now are pretty slim and it doesn't seem to have any reall advantage over Palm Desktop (save for the pretty colors) or Entourage. The way that the appointments overlap looks like it was...

Will a quicktime pro 5 key still work with 6?

No kernel panics here.
