Carbon and Cocoa are APIs. They make the creation of GUI apps much easier (as well as provide other non-GUI, funtions to make your life easier). Cocoa apps are dependant on OSX. Most Carbon apps can run in OSX or OS9. If you are looking to develop only for OSX, I would suggest learning the...

Is that E. Jack Chen or Jack E. Chen the great actor? :D :D Sorry, that was lame. Is there a way to use the Altivec stuff to speed this up? -jdog

WOW, I just reinstalled X (using the reg key tip) and boy does it fly now. With all these extra features and this speed, who needs 10.1? :D -jdog

There's a serial number? How come I don't remember that part of the installation? -jdog

If you go with BSD, I would suggest FreeBSD. If you use linux, I would suggest Debian. As far a deciding between linux and BSD, there are more precompiled apps for linux (just lok at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/allpackages.html ), but most of these can run under FreeBSD using the...

serial number for what? -jdog

I know what you mean. I am really not a fan of carrancho, but if the update was on a decent server, that got better than a 8-10k download, it would be fun to see how the performance was. The damn carrancho servers are just soooo slow and unreliable for a download like that. I am also...

wdw_: if you ever find that server again, post the address.

No, you are correct. Both are personal computers. Somewere along the way PC just became synonamous with IBM/PC. -jdog

Where did you hear about this?

Code red is a worm that exploits a bug in MS IIS. Unless you run a MS server, you have nothing to worry about. -jdog

HAHA :D :D I've had over a 1000 hits from code red!!! Lucky me! Anyone want to write a script that will check for unique IPs? Then we can see exactly how many systems are infected, not just the number of hits. Just a thought -jdog

No actually it is a carbon app, but does not support classic: "By adopting Carbon and Aqua, and by using Quartz to enhance the graphics capabilities throughout Office 10, we've integrated system capabilities more deeply than ever." - Kenny Wolf, Development Manager for Office 10 Right off...

Hey everybody, just wondering if anyone hs tried the Sims for X yet? I have been thinking of getting the game, and if it works well under X, I probably will. -jdog

Hey Soapvox, I just wanted to say that the layout/design of your website is awesome! Very well done, I really like the boxes with 2 right angles and 2 curves. Are you going to be adding message boards so we can talk about political stuff? -jdog

Doesn't sound like we are going to have the option of downloading 10.1, so be prepared. I just wonder if we are going to have to mail in the coupons to be able to get the new CD? That would be we will have to wait to Apple to receive the coupons, process the order and then ship it to us...

Knighthawk: You are correct, carbon is for those who want to maintain compatibility with Classic. If you have intention of developing for classic, then Cocoa would be your best bet. As far as writing cross-platform apps in Java, anything you write with the Cocoa API will not be...

If Apple allows us the option to download the update or buy the CD I will be happy. If they force us to pay money for an upgrade that shouldobviously be available to all OSX users, it is an outrage. I own an airport base station, I have a DVD drive should I have to pay to use what I have...

Some people are saying that Steve Jobs mentioned it would be a free updgrade during his keynote, anyone here this? I sure hope so! -jdog

http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2001/jul/18macosx.html Am I just cheap or does this seem like a bunch of BS? We are going to have to pay $20 for features that should have already been in 10.0!! Apple is starting to piss me off. -jdog
