Nothing wrong with a little hope and optimism :)

This is really quite amusing. I've never seen a forum actually close down due to being perturbed about some people complaining. Furthermore, some people should realize that when one person complains, there may or may not be such a legitimate problem... When *many* people stand up and...

You missed my point. Companies like Sony subsidize the cost of the playstation to sell units, because they typically dont profit from the hardware sale, but the software sales. That is why the unit could cost 500 dollars, but Sony can afford to subsidize 200 of that bringing the cost down to...

Proteus 1.x sucked imho. The new proteus betas [2.x] you can find on versiontracker and actually have a nicer interface than fire. I switched to proteus 2 "final candidate 1" after fire started quitting app for no good reason.

Apart from the technical issues, I believe that this chip, which reportedly has a *gigantic* Die size [the amount of silicon wafer needed to produce one chip]...will be extremely expensive to produce. Therefore, it only makes sense [to me] that it will be in products that are subsidized...

Im getting tired of the arguements about what platform is magically superior. Just because the G4 is a more efficient processor at any given mhz rating, that doesnt make it a better choice for a platform. If the motorola chips continue the current pace of slowing behind the "other"...

I think this may help you out, although im no expert on this. What fryke said is that there will be no more new OS 9 Releases, or at least, thats what Jobs has said so far. If your current mac can already boot OS9, just keep it on a separate partition and install Jaguar on another. You...

*Indesign layouts Make it faster. *After Effects rendering Make it faster. *Final Cut Pro editing Make it faster. *Web browsing Make it faster. *Word/Excel file processing Make it faster :) *Illustrator design you get the picture :) Memory latency and bandwidth are the main...

Who cares about Red Hat? The bottom line is that Apple should do whatever it takes to lower costs on their hardware [increasing margins if you will], while providing a competetive platform speed/performance wise. Whether they do that by switching to an atari chip, or an intel chip, or a...

ick, I dont know how you can stand a white terminal screen! :) nice shot though.

Here are a couple more interesting things to think about- What would the price of some software be today if *nobody* on earth pirated it, therefore not causing the company to increase the price to adjust for that loss? [who knows] In retail clothing stores, you have what corporations call...

Oh boy, ugly thread just waiting to happen. :) Despite the fact that stizz's comments arent politically correct or "popular", I still consider what he said to be realistic. Sometimes you have to break some rules to get your foot in the door, and I dont believe that makes him a criminal...

I think the happy face is ugly and out-dated. It may be cute on a machine 10 yrs ago , but I want to see something more modern. Im all for the new apple screen. And I care much more about the OS, not the boot screen :) [not that anyone cares what I care about]

the seed notes list 6c115 as a GM candidate, not a final gold master. Not that I know anything for sure. But if i was apple, I would keep tweaking it up until the very last moment. They obviously have comitted to an aug24th release, sending it out early would be bad progress-wise.

the question is whether the program is sending that info to anyone or not. there is a whole ton of information any program in any os could theoretically be sending out. what about your browser history file? your bookmark list? the list goes on and on im sure.

the only way that OS X will ever meet up to your expectation is by forcing the kind of upgrade on the developers and on the public. If that didnt happen, a hell of a lot more developers would probably stick with OS 9, and OS X would NEVER get where we want it to be. This is what i call an...

i think the hammer is more important to amd's future than the current athlon core.

i also vouch for chimera .4 vs. all other browsers. its the only browser thats even close to my windows machine in all-around speed. the only time i use IE is when something doesnt work right in chimera. With version .4, the only thing that stopped working was when i was customizing a pc...

carbon copy cloner works very well as an OS X backup tool ....

thanks chibi....[love that name btw....you ever play quake 2 online by any chance?] really like that feature and im hoping it stays in the final.
