  • [quote]Originally posted by Dead Member: What if Penny Arcade were to bash a Pine-Sol commercial? Why, I suppose I'd have to re-think my choice of Pine-Sol as a floor cleaner. [quote]Who cares? Indeed. [ 07-12-2002: Message edite…
  • My favorite (from week of 3/10): [quote]According to the Register, the poor SPEC benchmark results found by c't are due, not so much to the slow speed of the PowerPC chips found in the Macintosh, but to the "very old code" in Mac OS X. Mac OS X …
  • [quote]Originally posted by M3D Jack: But it isn't just about rumors, guys. Sites that have posted less rumor-esque stories than MacCentral are getting on the blacklist. Did you even read my post which you quoted at the top of yours? That's …
  • This is gonna sound harsh, but keep in mind this is my opinion of what I think Apple thinks, not what I think. I believe Apple decided to crack-down on press passes. Somebody at Apple decided they were giving out too many of them. So they sort of ma…

  • It seems fishy to me as well.

  • [quote]Originally posted by cooop: Is CodeWarrior the best Mac C/C++/Java compiler? For Mac C/C++/Java development you've basically got two choices: CodeWarrior or Project Builder. I would say CodeWarrior is the best (my opinion). Project Bui…
  • [quote]Originally posted by cooop: Thanks. Is there any way to program for a Wintel on a Mac with or without Virtual PC? You can do Wintel development on your Mac with Codewarrior and Virtual PC. It's harder for debugging, but you don't have to …
