VPC rocks. It's no speed demon, but hey, we all know that emulating HW in SW is bound to make for some slowness. VPC is incredibly inexpensive. Anyone remember softwindows? What's costing you money is the Windows license. And if you don't want to buy one of those that's entirely up to...

My thought was that this thread belonged in the OS section instead of here. Since the thread is appropriately named, I come in here voluntarily knowing full well what lies within. So hooray for proper subject naming. Anyway, if an OS update isn't news, is complaining about the lack of news...

I don't use any other players. I like Real (the company) but I hate Real (the player) so I wouldn't dare foul my system with it or the venerable WiMP. Other than that, I am on 10.2, I play DVD's, I surf the web in a whole bunch o browsers, and I code in Project Builder. The file is dated...

If you don't want to be in transition, you need to get out of the computer industry. Also, the 680x0 to PPC transition was incredibly smooth all things considered. And pretty darned smooth with none of those things considered. Apple has mastered the transition. The big reason that 680x0...

.DRM_Home is now a hidden file on the root of my HD. It sits there benignly and empty right next to a .DS_Store file. Anyone know what this is, where it came from, why it's there? I'm ridiculously opposed to DRM with its current political philosophy getting integrated into hardware, but the...

Dude, I'll send you a dmg.gz of Starcraft for you to drag to your system. No installer indeed. One of the best things about dragging Starcraft around is that it's updated. You don't need to launch it and sign on to Battle.net to update it. Well, to keep your CD key perhaps YOU should make...

I think you're all kinda insane. I felt generally good about the speed in 10.0 with the exception of application launching. Seriously, my productivity benefits so much from being in charge of the machine, and not having to worry about crashes that X beta started showing productivity gains in...

My opinion is that 2 year old threads should stay dead. Ideas expressed a few posts up aren't very relevant any more to 10.2 Besides that, I think Apple has been doing a really geed job of putting a front end that is usable on a Unix style underbody while allowing full access from the CLI...

I have made duplicates of my family pack issue Jaguar media using Disk Copy and the burner in a white 12" iBook. Poof. Done. Bootable. I'm not sure where you're having problems. Perhaps the best solution wouldn't be a CD but would be Carbon Copy? It's a utility on VersionTracker that...

:-) Because then it'd be $160 :-) What I don't understand is why they draw the line between normal QT and QT pro where they do. I think exporting should be the lockout, and that all playback features should be enabled in normal QT. That would seem to match the users. My guess is that...

If you pony up the #30 to get QT Pro you should get an aption in the Movie menu which says Play All Movies. That will allow you to do as Steve does in demoes. It's also a pretty sweet way to test audio qualitie between compressions and such. As for playing two instances of the same movie...

early in the boot process, the OS wants to mount its primary volume as Read/write. Barring this, the boot process is not very productive. Good luck trying to boot some really usable version of OS X from a CD. There are 2 hobbled versions I have seen boot from CD, Drive X and the Installer...

A day late and a dollar short I know, but here goes. It's a big part of the NS Classes to pass messages between processes. It's also fairly well documented how you can create a central messaging facility and send messages to it and have any number of processes listen to it. This is how much...

chroot changes the root of the filesystem for that ftp user. Like this: I want to allow anonymous ftp to my machine, but I want to keep them in their own little folder, and not allowed in my filesystem anywhere. I'm not sure how to do that right now with 10.2

Yeah, ftp is all sorts of different now. It's using a whole new daemon. The specs on it look great, it'll jut take some growing into I guess. Bandwidth throttling is the feature that gets me all excited. Can I do it per user? Ohh ohh ohh I need to play now.

My 233 G3 laptop has 384 M RAM and it only took me six tries to install. I think the problem is going to be one of thread intertwining and timing. It's not good, but I think the installer is a fragile and freaky version of the OS. I had 384 the whole time, and what seemed to fix it for me...

If you don't feel the need. Wait a month when some of these edges are smoothed out and iTunes and iCal become available. If you're into those things. I think it's sweeeeeeeeeeet on X.2 - but it'll be sweeter a month from now for sure. If you wait longer than that, you're just missing out...

I know it sounds stupid, and I have no strong evidence, but I had all sorts of trouble on my Wall Street 233, and when I went for UFS it went supa smooth. I also did some cleaning, beating, plugging and unplugging, yelling at and threatening at the same time I did the switch to UFS ... but...

I'm not sure what was happening, but my wall street was sucking much like your iMac. Hell, I was having crashes during install. Being that it is THE minimum machine, I thought it might actually just suck, and was about ready to write it off as a 10.1.5 machine... then I fiddled with the CD...

If you can't express yourself using words, then you're in the wrong medium. Text is most akin to what is necessary for people to express themselves clearly and concisely. My runner up vote goes to xml, for retaining usability, and readability, and virtually destroying the ability to keep...
