My Quad usually takes two full days to do a 241-point protein.
And my office is just too hot as it is to have this thing cranking along with my PB, so I have offically begin my summer folding break. See you in November. :D

Well I am using it on my iBook (localhost) and it works great. When I tried to connect to the Windows machine at work I got the same error. I hope that they get this figured out. I really like it and would love a functional OS X version.

once apple has all their gear beyond 1 ghz, it will all look the same to the consumer
it's the sub 1 ghz macs that look suspiciously slow to the consumer
tibook will get at or over 1 ghz soon
imac and emac will get there not much later
two of three powermacs are there already
ibook and crt imac has a ways to go, but apple should keep the speed increases coming
speed will not be a major issue some months or a year from now since there will been a lot a users who saw that 2 ghz on a pc is really not such a big deal anyway
we can only surf of type so fast, and that's what most of us do anyway, consumer wise

A 130nm G4 is the obvious thing for Moto to do... and I am very much not surprised that they will keep the FSB the same. This sounds good. Should work well in laptops, iMacs, eMacs and even in lower-end PM's. Will also mean that upgrade card makers have access to faster G4's for some time. Woo hoo, my dual 800 will live on!

You know how at technology expos they show future hardware for companies sometimes 5- 10 years down the road... Just wondering if apple does this at all, and has demoed any pimped out machines such as a future Powerbook G4.
As a side note, why is apple so tight about their products. Why not get people interested in their product at least a month before it is going to be released, so people can hype it up and drool over it?

Too bad that we totally outperform the tin cans that can't fold. I really missed a good tease, and last year we did had a lot of fun with them.

You lucky ...... uh person! My school only has emacs and imacs and a few quicksilvers! But then again, there aren't any Dells in the building, so I guess it's work the sacrifice.

I've heard reports of WC3 playing well on Macs and playing like crap but this is not a suitable indicator of Computer performance.
Blizzard is target PC's and in their port they'll optimize somewhat for Macs but it's not as efficient as if if was written for Mac from it's inception.
Slow performance...your issue is with Blizzard..not Apple.

i seem to recall a thread from a while back that discussed the merits of a sub-1000 dollar notebook.
i wonder if they could include a dvd drive in the baseline and a combo in the topend.
i'm not so sure if they would go back to the old cd-rom drive.
then again this is apple we are talking about...
one step forward, two steps backwards... ;)

I hated myspace at first. When my girlfriend used it, I never wanted to ever get an account. After awhile I finally gave in, and I am glad I did. Believe it or not, I found many friends that I had lost contact with after I graduated from high school. Going our seperate ways, some of us didnt really make phone contact, and cell phone numbers got changed, etc, etc. That is the best part, when one day you get a friend request thinking "Oh great, another random person... Then you check out their profile and realize it's an old friend from school. Pretty fun. Unfortunatly, I don't like the fact comments are posted on you're profile prior to you reviewing/authorizing them, it's not the best idea in the world. I really did hate myspace, then I got an account. It wasn't untill I really found a few people that I used to know that I began enjoying myspace.

i keep looking at the charts and thinking that the mac folders somewhere way down the list should join us. i personally think that MacOS X are fine as they are, but we however could do with and extra 10k a day.... especially at the moment since we have dropped below 50k per day. i wish they would...
oh well. it's all for a good cause etc.
Way before people were discussing unification, I took a look at the other teams and talked to members on MacNN, MacMinute, MacAddict, and MacCentral. Most of them didn't even have enough of a group to answer. I think they'd just left folding going by accident.
I'm still happy to see that this team isn't stuck at number 33/35 anymore. We made some really good progress.

Apple has posted their well known demo reel for this year's NAB available here:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/profiles/?profiles/apple_nab06_reel01_h640
As always, it's pretty freaking cool. Interestingly, they're embedded it into the page pretty well. I tried to look at the source, but that wasn't having any of it. I assume the file is streaming, just by the look of it, although it could just be a little over compressed. Anyone want to give the quicktime source file url a stab?

Good call. A 3 year old account has gotta be worth something around here, not to mention with Moderator status. :D
Whomever wins my account though, will have to pay extra for my Ralphie avatar. ;)
Let the bidding begin, we should post a forum and auction off accounts for charity;) Like we buy macs for some school that needs new computers.

I agree completely.

I'd rather they take their time (ok, not THAT much time) and put out a quality piece of hardware than rush a half-baked stop-gap comp out the door and have another Yikes fiasco.

What level of HD are you talking full HD or one of the lesser form like 720p, 1080p etc..
They are supposed to have HD DVDs out by the end of next year on less then a 30GB disc. At what level of resolution is yet to be seen.

Nope... they tried running doom III on a laptop with a mobile ATI 9000 and were actually very impressed. I just wish that the powerbook would switch to rdram or at least DDR... and better processors- motorola sucks. Then the powerbook would really be a fine gaming machine when it gets the mobility 9000 in the next couple-few months.

Yeah, I'm sure Steve has a white list. However, all of Steve's other mail is read by members of his office staff and farmed out accordingly.
But, I've emailed him before about my .Mac account not working (my account was corrupted on Apple's .Mac servers) and within hours I had .Mac engineers emailing me stating that they were made aware of my problem, and it would be fixed within three business days. Sure enough, it was (within a matter of hours). :D The email said something like "on behalf of Steve Jobs."

FireFox for Windows is way, way better than IE, even in it's current Beta status.
Firefox for Mac, unfortunately, still looks like a Windows app - bummer.
Firefox at .6 was better then Internet Imploder at 6.0. :cool:
I've talked to multiple people about this and they seem to be missing the big picture and that is that FireFox may actually make web developers code to standards instead of MS's craptastic "standards" Which in the long run could very well mean that all web sites will work on Safari instead of the occasional hiccups.
I'm dead serious folks. Push FireFox to your friends as hard as possible. Tell them the install takes up less then 17MB on their system and if they don't like it they can simply uninstall it. Be sure to show them FireFox's themeing engine and extensions. These generation the most ahhhs and ooooos. Esp the adblocker extension. When I show them how easy it is to blow in site ads and get rid of annoying flash ads I've had atleast 3 people jump on FF right then and there.
If we can get FF to comprise 30% of web browsers web developers are going to have to take notice. Even the 18% that is now being reported by some sites is nothing to sneeze at.
