  • Well you're really wasting your money if you let dell install the OS for you. Save the dosh and just download the iso's from linuxiso.org, and install it yourself. I always re-install the OS anyway (paranoid bastard). Also, I was looking at t…

  • I don't see Ghz P3s even being available for that server anymore ... . Doing a quick check at dell.com, I see a 1650, which comes in a 'much-thinner-than-powermac' 1U case (which lowers hosting costs, generally, since they usually charge by spa…

  • Or it could be 10.1.5 .... Sorry, i'm just pessimistic lately

  • There is plenty wrong with a G4 in a rackmount. An x86 chip is cheaper. Probably a lot cheaper. Witness very expensive (and profitable) G4 towers. Don't feed me any altivec bullshit. Is apache optimized for the G4? Servers aren't as upgrad…

  • It would be really cool if you could "write" on the touch pad of a powerbook/ibook ... that'd be kind of neat. Put it in a special 'mode' and switch to text recognition, and then switch out of it to move the mouse ...

  • Wasn't Opteron a transformer? Didn't he kill optimus prime or something?
    in I think I preferred Hammer... Comment by stepson April 2002
  • I don't think it would have to be THAT big and bulky, i was looking around on a couple of cell phone sites, and they have bluetooth headsets ... bigger than regular headphones, obviously, but not tremendous ... Yes, working with bluetooth in a c…
    in Cool idea for iPod v2 Comment by stepson April 2002
  • Between the gamecube, xbox, and PS2, the market for game consoles is already pretty crowded. My PS2 never crashes (well, once it did, but i had kicked it by accident) and has a ton of great games for it, will play almost all PS1 games and is a DVD …
    in Apple Game Console? Comment by stepson April 2002
  • I also think this is a good idea... whether a 'special edition' model, or something else along those lines, but an iMac with a better video card might be cool... GeForce 3? I dunno ... unfortunatly, it may require a new motherboard, since the 2MX i…

  • sjpsu- Way too 'not cool' for apple!
    in Next-generation mouse Comment by stepson February 2002
  • You know, i was kicking around this idea in my head the other night before bed.. I thought if you take the current pro-mouse, and add 2 'hot-spots' using the touch-sensitive stuff from the cube, and the current cinema displays ... and use that as a …
    in Next-generation mouse Comment by stepson February 2002
  • I have to agree with the last few posts, I think people would snatch up a $999 PowerMac. Apple makes a ton of money on the other model power macs, but if they are really interested in gaining market share, lower cost is the best way to go. You…
    in Another G4 Cube??? Comment by stepson February 2002
  • Check it out now though ... they switched it! I guess they must have noticed we found it, either through a message board, or their web server logs. Too bad!
    in CONFIRMED: new iBook Comment by stepson January 2002
  • I'm not trying to flame you, but why would you use your "iPlayer" instead of your mac to edit and display movies? I edit movies on my Mac, and if i want to watch them on my TV, i can just export them back to the camera, and hook it up that way. Wh…
    in The strategy in iApps. Comment by stepson January 2002
  • I have a G4 cube, 450Mhz with 1.5 gig of ram. I don't really do anything "pro" with it, but i use it as my main computer, and sometimes make iMovies. Its slow. It was faster in OS9, but I'm not about to start using OS9. I got it after Apple stop…
    in Current Powermac owners/users, tell me about your future Powermac expectations Comment by stepson January 2002
  • I have a Sony DV cam I use with my cube and iMovie ... and really, i don't know how much more integrated it can get. Other than maybe launching iMovie when i plug the camera in, but I usually do that first. I click on rewind in iMovie, the camera …

  • [quote] If you think Gigabit Ethernet is overkill, then please tell me what 64bit PCI slots are good for. Personally I have not seen ONE PCI card that actually supported ie used the 64bit's extra pins. Look no further then the adaptec 29160 scs…
    in What apple needs (from a pc user) Comment by stepson December 2001
  • "Stepson, you don't mention, but with a 64-bit processor operating in 32-bit mode are you still moving 64-bit integers around in memory?" I believe not. When using 32bit solaris, the ultrasparc operates in 32bit mode, and doesn't know anything a…
