    in ATI... New PowerMac Graphics Card? Comment by barto February 2004
  • 128MB is overkill as it is. The performance improvement of the Radeon 9800 XT over the Radeon 9800 Pro isn't related to the RAM, but the higher clock speed of the core and memory. It would be nice to see it in Macs. Not spectacular, but nice. …
    in ATI... New PowerMac Graphics Card? Comment by barto February 2004
  • Well, after trying to get WINE and WINEX to work on my Linux box, I have to say it is really not ready for prime time. Maybe in a couple of years. 1) WINE is supposed to be able to use your existing installation of Windows BUT it really stuffs up…

  • I've had 1 spam email in the past year. Maybe some of you should get new ISPs As soon as you start charging for email, email will vanish. Internet users, as has been displayed time and time again, will opt for a free option. Then that new pro…

  • Why is there Application Support folders in Mac OS X anyway? I've never "got" why the various Preferences folders can't be used for everything. The Final Cut Pro suite needs files from the Application Support folder to run. Bad Apple. Clean up yo…

  • When I first started surfing AppleInsider, I thought Fellowship was a complete ass. Fellowship, you've really learned and changed over the past few years... for the better. Shock horror, you are one of the respected members on AppleInsider, raising …

  • I've used Mac OS X as my primary OS since the Public Beta, and I've NEVER noticed that! Finally, Mac OS X will no longer tell my I'm misspelling colour!

  • Quote: Originally posted by PB If you are running VPC, a Windows virus can ruin your VPC disk image like a real PC, but nothing outside this one. Now, does what you are saying about Darwine means that a Windows virus can damage the OS X installat…

  • Quote: Originally posted by SonOfSylvanus I never knew until this very day, that a foreskin is what allows a guy to wank with his hand, 'just like that'. I never understood it before. I always thought in terms of 'no skin'. When you're circumcise…
    in Circumcision Comment by barto January 2004
  • I'm not circumcised, and not many people are in Australia. Being an extremely secular culture, and certainly in the 1800s a backwards one without much medical infrastructure, we simply don't have the cultural inertia that promotes circumcision. I…

  • Quote: Originally posted by LowB-ing Wouldn't the point of DarWINE (being separate from WINE) be to convert the windows api calls to darwin api calls instead? (which are then converted again by bochs, of course) Haven't read the story, so i mi…
