It is true that the P4 has a vector processing unit called SSE, but it is not even close to Altivec. The one thing Moto has done exceedingly well is to develop Altivec. Altivec is very well documented, and it has more "hooks" or ways to code for it. I'm not a technical guru, but based on...

Wow, Killowatt, you are a real man in my book. It takes a special sort of person to admit they were wrong about something, to change their opinion in the face of facts, and then reformulate a new opinion or viewpoint, and articulate it as their own. In an age where people expect their leaders...

The new iMac rocks, and it's not going to be a failure! A few points: Kilowatt, calling the iMac "ugly" is proof that it's a good design. That's because any design that elicits such powerful emotional responses is a success, it's powerful effect on the emotions is not easy to do. A...

Exactly. This is the same thing that I love about the new iMac. It's design is gorgeous, not only because of the visual appearance, but also because of the intelligence, the rationality of the design. Everything about the computer was well thought out and carefully designed, it's as if every...

I just installed Office v.X, running 10.1.2. From day one, this garbage has been buggy as hell. What happens is, the toolbar icons randomly grey-out and I cannot use them. Things that should be available, like dictionary, spelling, or table, are greyed-out even with a document window...

Dude that is a great reason to get rid of AOL. AOL is nearly as slimy a corporation as M$ anyways, I wouldn't think twice about ditching them, especially if I couldn't use my Powerbook because of AOL!

Yeah, make sure you have pak0 -pak7 for OS X. If you leave them all in there, you can use the same folder for OS X and OS 9 quake, just launch the appropriate game in each OS. Make sure you have the latest beat of Quake 1.31 for OS X. I believe they are at beta4 now...

I think Ed's got some valid points about Mozilla and it's connection to AOL. It may be open sourced, but using it entails supporting a large, monopolistic corporation. I refuse to use IE for this reason. It's on my HD because I need it once in awhile to visit some sites, but it only gets...

Won't work for me. I put the BroadbandOptimizer folder into StartupItems in the Library folder on my startup volume. Nothing. ?

I put it in the right folder, and it won't work for me. I used the console per his instructions to see if the changes took effect, and they didn't. Perhaps I should put the CONTENTS of the optimizer folder into the startupitems folder in ~library? Ahh, well it probably doesn't do anything...

It is possible for a phone line to move data that fast?

There isn't room in the Powermac case for a second full sized drive. Some people have added them but it requires cutting some metal structure of the case, needless to say, that would void a warranty and metal shavings aren't compatible with computer components. I wouldn't do this if I were...

•Lobby for anti-flag burning legislation. •Beat the sh!t out of anti-americans (including but not limited to: gays, arabs aka. "sand niggers", communists, abortion doctors, aethiests, heathens, drug users, hippies, liberals, and other riff-raff. •Drink cheap beer, watch lots of...

I put a folder of aliases to apps in my dock. Actually I have three folders sorted by app type. I use custom icons so I can differentiate between folders. My dock is on the left so it's similar to using the apple menu, but better, because I have THREE apple menus. I don't understand what...

I just ran the pre-binding command, and it found no files that were not pre-bound. However, it said that I had 919 files that may need to be re-prebound, and it re-prebound 18 of them. So I suppose it was worth running manually. I've installed a few apps that didn't go through an...

If you still need them email me and I'll put them on my iDisk.

Anyone have a new splash for the modem thingy in the top menu bar? I want to change it to something cool....the current one sucks. I'm not going to rest until my OS X is totally G'd-out! Also, how about a new splash for the recent items pane? It's too drab, I want something like a...

Excellent! I'm hoping the same thing, that when I need to reinstall on my system or on a new HD, I'll be able to skip installing 10.0 and just install 10.1 in one straight shot. And yes, the more I use OS X, the more I dig it! If performance of the finder and (I presume) Quartz/window...

Just drag the folder into the dock. It must be on the side of the dock near the trash can (there is a seperator in the dock, the other side is for apps). You cannot edit the Apple menu in OS X, although there might be some hacks to do so. But by putting a folder into the dock, it works...

Also, after using Apple-Tab to switch between apps, keep holding Apple and press shift. It cycles through apps the opposite direction. Very cool.
