  • I have always had my Apple applications in subfolders of /Applications, and thus far have had very little problem with updates. Full system updates (10.4.9, etc.) have always completed without problems. In my experience it has primarily been the Qui…
  • Just set the Monkeylives flag.
  • Something else to think about is the intel macs will not run classic. I realize most people have completely abandoned all MacOS 9 cruft, but if you haven't then that should be something to consider.

  • Quote: Originally posted by Towel To clarify, a debug build will NOT run anywhere. Not normally, no. Sorry for the confusion. As for the icon, you can set the path to the icon file in the target properties. Double click the current target and …
  • Look in Build/Debug and you will find your compiled application. This should run anywhere, but of course it has the normal generic application icon on it. Note that this is a debug build... in order to make a non-debug version, you'll need to change…
  • Quote: Originally posted by cinder Ugh. They changed the view source key command to command+option+U That's utterly retarded. So change it back. I had to do the same thing with next/prev tab.
  • Javascript and flash performance are now significantly faster on Safari 1.3 than Firefox 1.0.3. Quite a welcome improvement.

  • The 90nm 970fx generates a typical 50W @ 2.5GHz, the 13nm 970 generates 51W at 1.8GHz. That is a power density of 42W/cm^2 for the 970, and 83W/cm^2 for the 970fx. Considering that active cooling such as this can easily dissipate 700-1000 W/cm^2 it …

  • The dual 2.5s will compare very nicely to the dual Opterons. A quick perusal of the battlefront's benchmark threads showed that the G5 as it stands is about 30%-40% behind the dual Opteron overall (mostly ~30% behind except for Maya), which means th…
  • Downloaded the demo, played it through on "Normal" skill level, played it on "Veteran", then bought the game. It reminds me of a combination of MoH and Rainbow six, which to me is pretty much the highest compliment I could pay... it remains to be se…
  • Scottrade. $500 minimum, $7 trades, low margin rates (if you're into that kind of thing) $12 limit trades, no inactivity fee, free streaming quotes. Excellent service.
