    Designing porn web sites is a bit more removed than, say, wading into the "male performer" end of things. Now that, most wives would have a problem with.



    KidRed just has to look at lots of naked pictures on his computer screen, in the safety of his own home office -- something that many of us do without getting paid for it!

    That was with iTunes running in the BG. Without the results were-

    I read through this whole thread before, but just got around to trying this benchmark on my own Powermac (G4 450 DP) last night. I figured the new 1ghz DP would be less than twice as fast as my machine, since increases in clock speed usually lead to diminishing returns. But my machine scored something like 2860 megaflops. Wow, those new ones are fast!

    hey Kid Red I was wondering if you could give me any info on how to get into the whole porn site making thing. If it pays that well i would deff be intrested, i think it would be kinda fun, much better than the corprate stuff im doing now. I'm out of art school over a year now, I'm a desingner (audio and visual) and have done freelance web stuff before. Just a point in the right direction would be cool, or you can just ignore me if you dont want to tell me anything, and i wont mind

    All the sites on KidRed's site strike me as, well, kind of the same. I mean, they're very well done, but they have that horrid "porn site aesthetic". It'd be kind of like designing laundry detergent boxes all the time.



    Mind you, my own little unrelated porn venture is also paying for my DP (pun intended), so I certainly understand the advantages, but it seems a little...unfulfilling. &lt;shrug&gt;

    <strong>Just setting it up right now I also got the Cinema Display and the Sound Sticks. Man, X flies on this thing. I only got the stock 512 RAM, because we all know how really cheap ram is. I haven't played with it yet, I still have to bring over 20gigs from my old G4 on this beast. That may take a bit, trying to figure out if I should even bother partitioning. Damn, this cinema display is fricking huge, lol.



    Well, any benchmarks or terminal thingws you guys want me to do? I think i'm the first one with the dualie, so i figured I'd chime in.



    Time to go play </strong><hr></blockquote>You paid all that money for a computer and a display? In the dictionary next to the word sucker there's a picture of you!!!! Let's see: $2,999.00 for the computer, $2,500.00 for the display minus $500.00 for the discount on the display for buying them together! That comes to $5,000.00!! OOOO boy! Steve Jobs loves you!

    Hmm, RAM isn't cheap any more. Well, it is cheap, but it's twice as expensive now than it was 2-3 months ago. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

    KidRed, what is wrong with you?? Do you realize that you spent $3000.00 for a computer that is still useing a 133mhz bus! Not to mention pc133 ram!! Add to that the $2000.00 for that over priced studio display! Why don't you just kill yourself?? There should be some kind of law that would prevent you from getting ripped off like that! You need to be protected from yourself! Do you realize that in most states what you did is grounds for a divorce! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

    I wish I had Kid Red's machine, and if I didn't have a fairly new Powermac I'd be considering the same kind of purchase.



    Besides, I didn't call you a moron. I called you a maroon, which is different.

    Rbald you have got a serious inferiority syndrom. I suggest that you seek help fast. Dont worry medicine can do miracles these days.... there is still hope for you.
