  • Since you're talking time frame of 6-9 months, the iBook might very well have a very slow 1 and 1.2Ghz (it feels nice to call that slow) 970 seeing as they're shipping way earlier than originally announced, they could easily be on .09 process and 97…
  • I do have to say that CNET could very easily be making a very goos guess, since I made very similiar predictions 10+ months ago. http://forums.appleinsider.com/showt...threadid=19285 I was off about the HT vs RapidIO only because IBM and Modorolla…
  • Since it's been three hours since you posted this, I guess I'm your best option at the moment. I'm not Network+ (or anything for that matter) but I just finished my CCNA training (Cisco Certified Network Associate) BTW, way more in depth than I th…
  • I'm waiting until I have no time left to send in for College Aid, then spending my money on a computer. So I'm really hoping for a PowerBook 970 15" at any speed, for college. I'm expecting/hoping for something at MacWorld SF.
  • I guess technically the agreement had to do with Apple being completely out of music, which is why they lost the first suit from the addition of QT music and MIDI (I know MIDI was involved anyway). The difference here is that Apple is simply a dist…
  • Your directions are somewhat bad. I can't tell whether or where I'm supposed to put quotes or if that less than sybol is needed. Or if it's just a grouping. Or the parenthesis in the subject line.
  • I'm with ast3r3x on this. I want one in a PowerBook before I buy one for college. (Which will be right after MWSF 04 so I have $2000 less for the gov't to say I can spend on college.) I was PowerBook all the way, but once 970 rumors came up, I'm …
  • Hence why it needs moved to consumer. My school has one mac lab, I'd guess about 18 Quicksilvers set up and 6 MDDs in their boxes waiting for new tables to arrive. "Licensed" doesn't really say how licensed. Copies of Shake or registered Apple …
  • This was kinda sprung on me, so this may not entirely fit together yet. How does distributed.net, SETI, or any of those distributed protien folding apps work? I didn't claim to be an expert, just that I had done my research. Also, look at my pr…
  • Clustering discussion here. Covers pretty much anything, I did my homework. QMaster and Shake are mentioned at the bottom, including a little piece on my interpretation of the Maya rendering compatibilty.
  • I remember it as each side being a pentagon. I hope that's correct, cuz I decided I'd build one out of some card stock way back when that rumor came about. I still have it actually. I was going to try to scale it up to a proper PCI fitting size b…
  • What kind of overhead would ".nib"s have? As long as you can see the interface it doesn't matter how it is processed. The actions from buttons, tables, mouse clicks, etc., would only need be sent to the server. Also, all the nibs could be loaded …
  • QMaster http://www.apple.com/shake/specs.html Quote: Shake Qmaster * Network render management solution for Mac OS X, maximizes utility of existing resources, increasing ROI of Mac equipment * Distributed rendering allows provides uni…
  • I'm pretty sure OS X only loads fonts as theyr are needed for viewing. The list in the menu without formatting is simple, but with formatting loads all the fonts. There a System Preference you can get, Diablotin, that allows you to turn fonts on…
  • I'd go with Ensoniq on the Palm m130, if you wanted color. I have a m125, a m130 with grayscale, and saves you around $50. The Zire is junk, no expansion options whatsoever and minimal memory. I'm not sure about pricing, but the next one up is …
  • I hope you guys did take the time to look at the Mac OS X porting page. Find the timeline. They are supposed to have alpha quality Quartz done. The report on one of the pages says that the Quartz builds but there's no GUI. Basically, the back-en…
  • I'm a student in search of a Christmas present and may be interested in getting an ADC Membership. I have no programming experience but do have good experience in HTML and minor experience in AppleScript/Studio. Is signing up for ADC with no exper…
  • Result: 19 of 20 95% You can be proud of yourself! Time Spent 2:37 I've done some XHTML but didn't read the Tutorial at all.
  • One of the colleges I'm considering gives every student a PC on admission which they keep for life. It comes with a bunch of stuff and will probably be required for classes that I'd take. But it also has XP Pro, which I just checked, can be used b…
