  • going for Thanksgiving weekend event there. I guess I'll be taking the Bart to go.
  • I didn't need a kick-ass video card, just something with maybe 8MB VRAM. There's a 275Mhz 603e in there, altho everyone else would say it's butt-slow, I think it's pretty good, and it'll run games like Pod Racer and Quake II and Bugdom no problem if…
  • would Steve Jobs get a huge tax return for earning only $1 per year or do the private jets and the owning >5% of a multi-billion dollar fruit company really eat into that tax return?
  • I can't even make up a joke that funny. [ 05-18-2002: Message edited by: Ming ]
  • The old line was confusing. Should I get a 603e or 604e? Should I get Apple or PowerComputing or Umax or Motorolla? Which of the Performas work best for me? PPC or stick with 68040? But now, apple has extreme differentiation, in fact I'd say the di…
  • [quote] 1. Ming is overrated. I can't wait to laugh at whatever team takes him. He'll be OK, but he's no saviour. ahem... cough... ahem... excuse me?
  • Hmmm, I haven't watched City of Lost Children or Delicatessen yet, but I'll definitely go do that soon. And who said that it copies off Ally McBeal? I watched it without noticing any resemblance to Ally McBeal. Perhaps someone who hasn't seen very m…
  • For fans of Asian music, try Faye Wong. I also love the second song from Coco Lee's new album "So Crazy". Leon Lai and and Amei are also good bets. If you look, you'll find a lot of Jacky Chan songs too, as unknown to most Americans, he's a pop sing…
  • About the web browsing speed, IE 5.1 MacOS 9 runs at the same speed as IE 3.0 Win95 on VPC 3 running on the same computer. Pages usually load at the same speed, although sometimes the native IE comes out ahead. That just shows that IE is written wit…
  • Has Colonel "Big Billy" Panic fallen prey to the mysterious and powerful jaguar that has been the talk of the town lately?
  • [quote] Maybe a silly question but, Ming, are you from New Jersey? hahahaha how did you figure that? you couldn't be more wrong I'm in berkeley

  • I think usually programs require a recompile and nothing more. Yes compiling from source code is a lot of work, at least to me, but it seems like a lot of unix experts on Linux etc do it routinely for every program that they install or update, so Ma…

  • will this hierarchical metadata in Project builder be only Project Builder's internal feature, or will programs compiled after being created with project builder inherit these benefits?
  • Appleworks is AMAZING when it comes to integrating words, spreadsheet tables, drawings, paintings, and such all onto one page. It's like a simple page layout program with drawing and painting capabilities. It's like Microsoft Office (without email) …
  • I just don't see how VPC can be so slow on high end G4's (compared to my 275Mhz 603). yes, I run Win95, but it's really fast, and Windows 2000 can't be that much slower can it?
  • How much slower are Win 2000 and XP compared to Win95? Because I use VPC 3.0 with Win95 on a Powermac 6500 275Mhz 603e 96MB Ram and it runs really fast, with just about no interface lag. It even seems to be using the ATI Rage IIC card to drive the W…
  • The picture supplied with the article was quite funny. When I read the caption "Microsoft staff members" my reaction was "these are the people programming for Microsoft???" (but of course my other reaction was "Microsoft staff members are composed o…
  • hey, just for consistency sake lets say post your full screen fps with visuals on "large", and the "fast and rough" option unchecked [ 05-20-2002: Message edited by: Ming ]
  • I definitely recommend 9.1. I upgraded my Performa 6360 and Powermac 6500 from 9.04 to 9.1 and there was a sizable performance increase, and just feels a bit better and more responsive. In fact with 9.1 I feel that my Macs perform better than they e…
