I don't know. Only 2 states allow software makers to attach licences to their software - in the other states you must still respect copyright law etc. I have no idea what the rules are like in other countries.

I don't think that this is such a bad idea.

Am I the only one who doesn't find Firefox particularly speedy on the Mac? When I bring up a page, I see the page being visibly drawn downwards line by line (it's hard to describe) instead of blinking into view at once.
Also, middle-clicking links to open in background tabs doesn't seem to work. I can't browse without that functionality.
Camino has the same gecko rendering engine as Firefox, but it's very, very speedy for me! And the middle-click thing works.
Admittedly though, the Firefox interface looks nicer and cleaner.

Sony belongs to both the DVD consortium which publishes the DVD-RW standard and the DVD+RW standards body. Nice to see that they are using somebody elses notebook DVD-RW drive. They seem to be covering both bases.

Is it supposed to be a hardware fix and a new edition of the PS3 or will it be some sort of firmware fix.
Firmware update. Hopefully it'll be in the next update. We'll see.

Yeah, so its a real quick question, but I began folding on May 6th, using one computer (was gonna use two but that one is not on all the time), an Intel P4 2.4 GHz HT model, and have done the following:
41 WUs
~4,000 points
That is about a month and a half (5/6/2005 to 6/24/2005)
Is that normal or WAY too little?
Thanks...

for some reason, eu just has such negative connotations for me, maybe it's because of Brussels and their not very sensible legislations. :rolleyes: :p

not wanting to argue against myself but patents can take a long long time to actually go through. On the other hand the one for (guess) iSync is pretty new so I have no idea.

it would be funny to see everyone on team macrumors fold under the same name, other teams would check our stats and see just one user cranking out 50,000 points a day or some silly number.
Ya, I can see the humor in that. One person cranking out 50,000+ points a day. :)
I wish my machine could pump out those numbers. :rolleyes:

I thought Godfather Blackhand edition would be just another PS2 port with tacked on Wii controls but IGN just gave it an 8.0 and generally had good things to say about it. That makes it the 5th highest Wii game they've rated behind Zelda, SSX, Elebits, and WarioWare.
I'll probably rent it first but this is surprising news to me. EA is doing a good job even if it is just ports. Hopefully, they will have a few new IPs on the Wii in the next year or so...

i thought the exact same thing. just another ps2 port... the graphics in the previews looked like ****... worse than quite a few GC games. i think i'll need to rent this. (btw... i thought SSX Blur would be really really good and it's ok but not that great at all.)

The CPU itself just supports it or not.
Case in point: Dual/Quad/Oct/etc. Intel P4 Xeon has SSE2, so does the normal Pentium 4.

Like have the 24 hr average on the main section, because this is what I look at when I look at our team.
That's what the 'details' are for. I don't want to clutter the widget with to much information, unless you ask for it by expanding it.
If a lot of people would like this i would be forced to implement though ;).
Also a way to see the graphs would be great, but that might be a problem.
I have been playing with this though from the beginning, there are some issues.
First, and most important: EOC might not like this, they still like getting hits on their webpage. I really don't want to piss them off since they are the ones providing the info.
Second: A log would have to be kept with all data, for the desired period of time. For this to work the widget would have to be able to download the xml file every 3 hours, making the graphs useless when you miss an update.
Maybe in the future, when somebody donates a server to host our own stats... :rolleyes:
By the way, if you ever need some help, don't be afraid to give me a shout
I'll keep that in mind, thx! What are you good at? ;)
For now, the biggest support anyone can give me is using the widget, keeping this thread alive and spreading the word (maybe even signature wise like some people do).

Browsing on TV is seldom a good thing. Witness the relative failure of WebTV. I use TV for purely graphical things: movies, certain games, iPhoto slideshows, business presentations, and iTunes visualizers.
Agreed. Most TV's - and I dare say even HDTV's aren't designed for tasks like web browsing. I can't read small text off my tv screen with my pb hooked up, can you?

I don't think it's exactly a hoax--some people at MOSR (often wrong, but probably not flat-out lying) have the beta and are testing it. It doesn't work--it's probably vapor for now, and always may be--but it does exist. That's different from a hoax. AND the problems getting it to run are supposedly very similar to the ones for PearPC.
Under PearPC it's possible to get OS X installation to complete =) This has me curious, that perhaps VX30 plugged in PearPC screen shots because their own code didn't exactly work....?
I started playing with the idea of using an existing filesystem and seeing if that could somehow be booted up, but it's not clear how to get there from here, or if an existing image can be whipped into shape to allow that.
Another emulator, a PPC version of Softmac, was demoed a few years ago, then disappeared under a big argument between Darek Mihocka and Jim Drew. I have been wondering if that's where this CherryOS thing may have come from, because the death of Softmac (http://www.emulators.com/updates.htm) was announced in July.

You confuse sales which determine market share with users who determine the size of the core constituency.
Interestingly, I notice lately that the more successful Apple becomes, the more I see articles from this firm or that spokesman relating Apple's decline in education, overall market share, stock price, or some such. Yet, I also notice that software vendors who had abandoned the Mac are rejoining the fold. Others who had never supported the Mac are porting their apps to MacOS X. Mac-only vendors seem to be doing better than ever.
If you saw the USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/technology/2002-09-05-cheap-pcs_x.htm) today (6 September 2002), then you may have read an article about HP, Gateway, and even Dell all resorting to incentives to move their inventory. Yet, Apple can't move its new machines fast enough.
Get a grip!
