I'm not so sure about that.

Mac OS is NOT an 128-bit OS. No. It is also "pathetic" 32-bit as Windows. The G4 is a 32-bit Processor just like the P4. Only Altivec is 128-bit. There is a 64-bit version of Windows for the Itanium processor (Since August 2001), and Apple will have Mac OS X with 64-bit as soon as they go...

That is not trying to get to the roots of the problem, that is trying to cure the symptoms. There should be a option to disable some of the iCandy. Windows XP also is slower than Win 2000, but you can turn of some of the stuff. For the guy this thread is about: I see it this way: Just...

The super large file size often is not compressed. You can see the difference in the little details of an image. Try taking a picture of something with little details, for example take a picture of a landscape with grass on it with the two qualities. The super large will be better for the...

The Powerbook uses a TFT as display. TFTs have a native resolution, everything else is interpolated. So if you want to run a higher resolution, this would be interpolated to the lower resolution of the display (like scaling a 20" image down to 15"). So you don't get any more information on...

if you don't use something in your code like $HTTP_GET_VARS, then you won't need to make any changes. If you get the values of your form fields like %fieldname, than it won't make any difference it you POST it or GET it.

I personally thought GET is limited to 256 characters, including host and so on. Anyway, anything more could give you problems at least with some routers or servers. For big form data, definitely use POST. It is there for transferring data to the server, whereas GET is intended, well just to...

In Windows XP the media player downloads a picture of the album you are ripping when it gets the names of album and songs. I don't know if the picture comes of a Microsoft specific server, but I think not. So it can't be that difficult to get that into iTunes as well.

oops, yes, sorry! I'm kinda used to put a X behind the Mac OS. :)

For programming Java on Mac OS 9 or below: You need the MRJ SDK. In there are some tools to compile java source code and execute it. It is a little odd to use it, but if you get used to these things it goes quite well. (I bought my B/W G3 waiting for OS X and as it took longer than...

Well, I think this is a good place to share my experiences with my new PC: First thing: I wanted to attach my harddisk as primary master and my DVD as secondary master. the stupid bios couldn't find the DVD. jumpers all in the right place. Trial and error finally ended up in DVD on secondary...

x86 is no pure CISC processor anymore. It is for some part RISC. Same thing for the G4, the other way, no true RISC processor. So saying x86 is bad cause it is CISC is wrong.

I personally would say Chimera is also just a cool project, nothing more. It didn't do anything of that for me you are telling. On my setup, it isn't any faster than IE. It doesn't render any pages prettier for me. Maybe the server gives me an other version of Chimera than everyone else. I...

I can't believe this is true. Wouldn't Apple and its lawyers have been all over the Linux guys back then Linux was new?

As far as I know this is the way Mac OS X saves the Resource fork on File systems other than HFS/HFS+. If you put files on a WebDAV server, it also saves these ._* files. If you don't show invisible files on Windows, you won't see all these files, because at least Apple thought about...

Quark closed its German agency also. And the Germany isn't a Mac market at all.

Hehehe, I still use this keyboard that came with my B/W G3, even on a PC! :D I love that keyboard. I ditched that stupid round mouse from day one, though. That has to be the most stupid thing Apple has ever done, in my opinion.

I can connect to my FTP server, but all I see is one folder with the 'root' owner. Everything else I have uploaded via my ftp account that is owned by my ftp user in the group 'ftpusers' just won't show up. I thought about trying to make a new group on my Mac with name 'ftpusers' and make my...

I don't think so. PC users are not so devoted to their OS supplier as Mac Users. Fact is, most of them won't even care.

I always thought the Apple switch campaign was totally stupid. But I had a great time to watch some of this people how they told some stupid things. I love the one who says in the end "I am an IT manager". Hehehe... And now Microsoft is copying that crap. Who is more a fool, the fool or...
