Has anyone gotten this to work yet? The binary I downloaded as well as the original source distribution aren't working for me in any capacity. Actually, none of the commands that I've tried to use to even get it to run have worked (X11 Terminal) a…

You're welcome. The Home page for WINE states in its first paragraph that you can use DLLs if they're available. I'm exactly sure what they are, but I assume that if you have some Windows files, things might work a little better. I guess.

VPC works by emulation an x86 processor. Doing so, you can run any x86 OS on top of it. For Windows applications, you run a version of Windows with all it?s system files and everything. A Windows application, works with the files describing the W…

Apples only advantage to buying Pixar would be Renderman and other rendering/modelling software. Which then brings on Apple acquiring Alias (SGI) and packaging Maya. Which in all cases would be awesome to have a Hollywood Studio on your desk total…

There is only one obvious, though not good enough, advantage to using Bochs. It's already ported. qemu does look an order of magnitude better than Bochs, and from the looks of their website, though not entire obvious or clear, it will run on PPC. …

That's kinda what I was thinking. This makes much better sense from a monetary and otherwise standpoint. You don't have to have a copy of Windows. I would think of this as a proof-of-concept rather than usable code. And if you look at the WINE s…

Used 160 MP3 until AAC came out. Then switched to 160 AAC, since the file size wasn't a huge factor and I could tell the quality difference, so I stuck with it. Although one CD I ripped using 160 AAC, I think it got really loud and it would clip a…

I didn't realize that 1.1 would be Mac OS X/Darwin capable. The porting team seems to have relented to wait until everything is where it is supposed to be (they're writing all kinds of code in the main tree apparently), so the team was holding off …

How much is Adobe? That would be a sweet move to buy them. That would be Apple's best leverage against MS, because EVERY (or 99%) of every graphics work done would have to be done on a Mac, which in all cases sells more Macs, even if MS goes throu…

Because you already have 5,000 Black Dells. When it comes time to upgrade, then make your pitch.

That was quick: This is what "allenmcjones" said in this thread. Quote: Wolf? has been a project for over 3 years and will be shipped later this year. The summer of 99, Apple acquired elite kernel and assembler programmers from some friends in …

I know on the mailing list or the Technology Overview that was posted there, Apple says to do those things from the computer, and not to use Xgrid to run distributed.net or SETI. But as with all things Xgrid, this could change, which would make it …

Well, in the original post years ago by "allenmcjones", "allen" mentioned maybe a dozen code names for Apple research. Then he had a list of things that would be part of Project Wolf ("Wolves work well alone, but are awesome in packs"). One thing …

I'll hand you that. It is a very good idea, the likelyhood of it happening is questionable, but still a very good idea. Kinda takes a hint from Myst, pre-render everything and it looks really really good. And then modify the pre-rendered object/r…

I was just looking at some old docs I have from my previous contributions to the High Performance Computing (HPC) from Apple rumors. It's kinda scary how accurate I was. Project Wolf/XGrid Xgrid not vaporware Actually, a few Replies into t…

I'm trying to make the point that what you are talking about (I'm not even sure what it's called at the moment but I've read up on it) I'll call it Distributed Imaging is a whole different ball game than rendering frames of a movie in Renderman or S…

That's not going to happen. That's far too complicated and doesn't provide any significant benefit. Playing Doom 6 with everyone else's computers is outright stupid. They use massive supercomputers on highly optimized and near-zero latency interc…

You can't put them everywhere. Liquid just absorbs more heat which can then be piped somewhere else to let it out. But only 17" PowerBook has the surface area (on your lap to dispel that kind of heat. On Power Macs, you'd have still have the fan…

I know you get the Xgrid Pref Pane, but an option within Sharing would be logical to regular users. You could almost justify putting the entire pane inside Sharing. "I'm Sharing my cycles with them. They're Sharing their cycles with me." I'm n…

Is there an edu discount for the Upgrade? I didn't see one at Apple before, but maybe (and hoping I missed it). I gotta go down to King of Prussia and buy myself iLife and that upgrade when I'm home for a weekend.
