  • OK, I understand all the objections. This to me simply means that a 970 Mac MUST have a 64-bit OS on practical grounds. This conclusion leads us to the questions: Will Apple have the OS X 10.3 (64-bit) code ready at the introduction of the 970…
    in Apple to use 970, confirmed by IBM Comment by icode March 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer Yes, this is correct -- but unless your OS is 64-bit aware you cannot run 64-bit applications in it. 64-bit applications require a 64-bit OS. I'd like to contest your conclusion that a 64-bit app woul…

    in What Windows Features Do You Want In OS X? Comment by icode January 2003
  • Although this thread is about Windows features I thought I throw in a couple of X11/Unix features. 1) How about allowing Unix type users to get rid of the "system" menu at the top of the screen, or at a minimum allow the application's menu to be …
    in What Windows Features Do You Want In OS X? Comment by icode January 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by Telomar: I rather expect you'll find a lot of people in the engineering or scientific fields would switch to OS X if it had the software support. There's a sizeable workstation unix market, at least in revenue terms…
    in Son of Next PowerMac with up to 2.5GHz 970? Comment by icode March 2003
  • [quote]Originally posted by TJM: -snip- And I agree with you that the 970 is the sure thing at this point - and quite likely better than the phantom Moto G5. If this G5 chip does exist, either we'll see it in January (to plug the gap until th…
    in G5 here and gone? Comment by icode October 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by rogue27: You don't have to recode, just recompile. That involves clicking a checkbox and nothing more. Every developer would do that if it would make their software available to more users. At the risk of upsettin…
    in Apple on x86: Redux Comment by icode September 2002
  • At the risk of agitating the more active members of this board (and those that would like to see Apple on x86) I'd like to point out that there are at least three things that an operating system must have for it to be accepted by the market: 1) meas…

    in Think Different, people! New iDevices and Apple philosophy Comment by icode July 2002
  • [quote]Originally posted by IQ78: This is true. But, again, don't forget, I'm talking about Apple writing a super breakthrough porting program. Something much better than currently exists. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, but I've …

    in Project "Wolf" and "Presley" in July? Comment by icode June 2002
  • What amazes me on a continual basis is the ability of some posters here to technically analize (without documentation or source code) the implementation of a wild a$$ rumor of a technology that people spend years on studying and refute such "_implem…
    in Project "Wolf" and "Presley" in July? Comment by icode June 2002
  • Very interesting thread! Now, for those folks that think clustering technology is not 'needed', please realize that just because your imagination and ingenuity is lacking that does not deter the rest of us from using our computing resources a bun…
    in Project "Wolf" and "Presley" in July? Comment by icode June 2002
  • It seems everyone has a pet hardware gizmo that is a must have, but what can really be expected? If Apple is buying up all the video production software companies and they are "Going After Hollywood" what sort of hardware would be needed to beat …
