vanguard, I very much appreciate it when someone like you addresses me respectfully with regards to my opinion. It's not that I jump on everybody that's slightly anti-Apple. It's just that lately in these forums, azosx has been going around trolling every little thing that the Mac platform...

The funny thing is that BOTH Mr. Orlowski at The Register and azosx both said "near $400" when talking about the total cost of OS X so far. That's a 55.04% error – that's a pretty extraordinary amount of error for a mistake. Oh, and I also think that both the cost for .Mac and Jaguar are...

OS X 10.1 was a free upgrade if you had bought OS X 10.0 before. If you hadn't, you hadn't spent the $129 on OS X 10.0 and instead would've spent it on OS X 10.1, resulting in the same $258 price tag for OS X so far. I don't get how you can POSSIBLY have spent $360 on OS X so far unless you...

Yet another bunch of FUD. Are you Mr. Orlowski from The Register? Because your trolling sounds awfully familiar. Let me show you something called "addition" and "subtraction": Let's look at two people, one who has used Mac OS X since the public beta, and one who has used Mac OS X since...

Despite your obvious arrogance, I might as well respond anyway. I misread your post and thought you meant 1 MB L3 cache. Video cards are for things like games and rendering where you use textures and need really intensive processing that needs to be done while the CPU is doing something...

Butterfinger (I dunno why I thought of that from "encrusted") Can this thread be revived? :D

Just wanted to let everyone know that I tried out the command line tool "softwareupdate" to download and install the Disc Recording Update 1.0 that appeared in Software Update today. Basically you just type "softwareupdate" to get a list of available updates based on your system and what...

Didn't you hear that Morpheus switched to the Gnutella network? That's why you're seeing those Morpheus hosts.

Would you care to do a little test? I'll prove it. Open up a Terminal window and type "top -u". (If you don't already know what this does, it sorts the top list by CPU usage.) Now turn Dock magnification on, and constantly run your mouse up and down the Dock. (Make sure it's actually...

Actually, you're wrong here. While your argument about the G3s being ready for production at 1 GHz+ clock speeds is probably true, theCaptain is still right. With OS X 10.1, ALL of the GUI calculations are done WITH THE PROCESSOR. Quartz Extreme in Jaguar will take that load off the CPU and...

In other news, azosx continues his pointless trolling! (If you are so hell-bent on "proving" that the Mac sucks, why don't you just ditch your two Macs you claim to own? Like that will happen before hell freezes over. :rolleyes: I wonder why....)

These benchmarks are highly skewed. Why? For two big reasons. 1) The benchmarks are not optimized for the Altivec engine. Well, now, it's not my fault if this guy doesn't give a **** about real-world performance, is it? If this guy was the least bit bright, he'd realize that the Altivec...

Sheesh. Jobs must really have been out of it. :rolleyes:

Happy bday serpi! :D

I don't really have a clue with regards to streaming video. I just got this tip from Sly from Your Mac Life. I was having probs with the stream, and they suggested this fix to rectify the problem. Since it worked there and other places, I figured you were probably having the same problem.

Yeah... my mom's iBook does that too. :\

Try this: 1) Open up the QuickTime Settings preference pane or control panel. 2) Click on the Connection tab. 3) Click on the "Transport Setup..." button. 4) In the "Transport Protocol:" submenu, you probably have "UDP" selected. Change it to "HTTP". 5) Select the Port ID: "80"...

Open iTunes 3. Turn on the visualizer (not full screen). In the upper-right corner of the iTunes window there is a button called "Options" in the place of the "Burn CD" or "Browse" buttons in playlists and the library, respectively. Click that, and then you can click "Use OpenGL".

I'd just like to note that Apple actually IS offering a consumer eMac with a combo drive. Just check out the online Apple store (URL: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/173/wo/gtYjH0htSER2HsA3AA/0.3.0.3.34.25.0.1.3.1.3.1.1.0?151,85 ). I think I remember reading...
