Unfortunately, it is not achievable in the analog domain, either (at least, assuming we are talking about recording here. It is possible to achieve this in the amplifier domain, but eventually you have to put it on media, high-speed magnetic tape being still the best for analog recordings...

Well, it seems to work fine for me; did not even ask for the serial once I restarted Word and friends. Sadly, anti-aliased text is very hard on my eyes--I am using a laptop and am myopic as well. I guess I will have to start increasing the magnification, which will simply eat away my screen...

It is a kernel panic; the kernel could not get some kind of a lock--unfortunately, the picture is not clear enough and/or there is not enough information in the message to guess what caused it.

Bitrate for streaming media is always post-compression--it would be meaningless otherwise (raw bitrate when ripping CD is always 44100 * 16 ( * 2 for stereo))

It appears that your hearing is damaged, then. The obvious difference is in cymbals, especially crashes and ride. It gets much worse if cymbals have been digitally spread, which requires wide bandwidth noise with 100 percent accurate reproduction of phase. Depth perception of classical...

Talking out of his rear end would be closer to the truth. You are talking about a good, optimizing with deep and intimate knowledge of target processor internal pipeline architecture C compiler here. Sadly, gcc is not such a compiler. TANSTAAFL, I guess.

assembler output seriously.

C, COBOL, PL/I, awk, sh, tcl, LISP, FORTRAN, and plethora of the other traditional languages? Do they not count any more?

No, it doesn't. Otherwise, I would not be typing this on a Mac, but would continue to use FreeBSD laptop running MS-Office in a VMware session. That was way too much hassle. Mind you, I'm still lacking things, and will have to get the VirtualPC once it becomes halfway usable.

Not all applications are born equal and relinquish processor when no input is coming. Most gooey applications use timer events, which fire irrespective of user activity; this tends to keep them in memory. Word v.X seems to be the worst offender, as it consumes over 50% of CPU as soon as...

it is utterly non-portable as it uses some very low level Linux only ioctls and whatnots. There is no configure as it is not intended to be used anywhere except Linux; whether it can be used on anything except Linux/x86 is a good question

but the .mc file is not supplied with OS X Or does anyone know where they are?

In bed with Compaq. Next question!

He seem to have painted the inside of the casing. Or do you think the decals for ports were re-applied? (and Apple cleaned?) Well, maybe they were :)

No, PCI Gigabit ethernet goes into that port, because it's a half size one, and they leave the only other external full size PCI slot free.

Let us explain the basics of Mach VM, as modified by FreeBSD and included in OS X. You are probably confused by the top line similar to: PhysMem: 28.8M wired, 60.3M active, 137M inactive, 227M used, 29.4M free The wired memory contains the valid mapping and cannot be paged out; this...

20 (sub) + 2*10 (satellites) Very clean and almost ideal for classical music; due to the lack of distortion, they do not feel loud, but the neighbors complain :)

Please read on design and implementation of FFS by Marshall Kirk McKusick before posting. FFS (a.k.a UFS) does in fact pre-fragment large files, but puts the fragments near to each other. The fragment sizes are relatively large, and tries to be equal to the read-ahead size (usually 64k...

volumes are named according to their mount point: / /Volumes/OS9 /Swap

The guy is converting options, which is even stated in Reuters report referenced by the first post.
