I've used unix, and more recently, linux for years. As far as I've known, "home" and "end" work in linux as they do in OS X. Unless you're using emacs, then you have the whole esc-X thing going. In fact, I just realized I'm posting this from …

Quote: Originally posted by Patchouli Has anyone examined the two and detailed the differences (if any) between the older batch and the newer ones? I am very curious to know what they changed? How different does it look/feel, it what ways? Ple…

Quote: Originally posted by mac's girl btw, on your new white spot-less machine, how's the screen backlighting? im just wondering if all of the new batch of PBs have improved upon this minor issue. Backlighting is good. I have a small (…

Hey FM2002, thought you fell into Lake Michigan or something. How's the PB --- no worries? I think that the 1.25GHz offers about the best performance trade-off compared with current desktops (especially of the same price-point) as anytime in App…

I'm also pretty happy with the speed. This 1.25GHz is running my calculations about 3.5x as fast as my 400MHz G3, and about 2.5x as fast as a 450MHz Ultra Sparc II, with unoptimized code. I agree that my biggest hit comes from the HD (I have the 4…

Jeez. I thought Berkeley messed up my attitude. I'm better now.

Quote: Originally posted by mac's girl i believe they replace the whole top lid now when you send it in for repair. I think what he's getting at is some of us have new machines. In my case, my machine was repaired once, so I qualified for a …

Personally, if you didn't get it with the 9800 vid card, I'd do as another said and try and return/upgrade to the 9800. I'd definitely use the extra graphics power. If you aren't doing hard-core graphics, I'd take the $400 and get an iPod. Gawd…

OK, I just recieved my replacement 15" 1.25 from Apple. It's S/N is V7347XXXXXX (47th week) --- my old one was V7339XXXXXX (39th week). In contrast to other people, I do see the LCD flex/pooling in the screen, but it is uniformly rectangular, a cm…

Mine is silent, also. 15" 1.25GHz 4200 RPM.

Thanks, AppleMaster. I was just about to go to bed, but I checked my order status (replacement PB) --- I've already checked it today, and it said "on or before 12/2", but you know how it is.... It shipped FedEx! I have heard around the horn t…

That's wild about the battery. Do you need the part number? Are you saying that they said a consumer can't buy the battery separately yet (world-wide or in the UK)? Many people in the states have purchased a battery separately (including me). …

There is another thread that goes into T in gory detail. Mine hits 335 K consistiently when I'm running jobs on it (that's 65 C). Right now, it's running a job, but it is at 317K; that is because it is sitting on a huge, cold lab top, which is …

Quote: Originally posted by Chagi I got a good laugh out of that criticism too. If you're spending millions of dollars on your new toy, is the cost of labour to initially set it up really all that significant? Time, not labor. Labor was free…

Do you guys know how people use clusters? Any idea? Number one, most software includes some sort of error-correction, whether it is "dumb" (relying on previous-step data) or "smart" (self-checking algorithms which are independent of memory). …
