Amen to that! I wonder, the new dual duallies (or dual quads), do they have two or four (four or eight for the quads) WU's at a time? Or can one duallie do one WU and are both processors on one chip working on the same WU?
1 WU per core. The folding app isn't SMP aware in any way. That it's dual core doesn't change anything.
4 WU at the same time (for the Quad) isn't so bad though.

What brought you back?i'm in charge of a lab installation at the university that's being upgraded. the machines folded on by me and rowercpu over the years were 1ghz pcs. essentially my total and his up to march is the output of the same machines under different names. while in 2001 these machines put out a lot of units, they are slow by todays pc standards. one of the new machines probably is like 3 or 4 of the old machines
they should be up by friday at the latest

Since I've been using Panther (about a week after it was released) Mail has crashed regularly (usually 1 out of 4 times I've used it). It occurs when quit the app and it just hangs...forever, until I force quit the process.
On the pre-Mac OS X versions of Mail (and MailViewer) all optimization was done manually. But now it is done in the background while Mail is running. If it is hanging when you go to quit, there is a very good chance it is in the middle of doing house keeping and needs a little time to finish. If you force quit while it is doing this you run the risk of damaging the mailboxes that are being optimized which could lead to further crashes and instability of Mail.
I had one client who was, well, impatient with Mail. He wanted it done when he was done with it and force quit Mail when it wouldn't quit when he wanted it to. It was quite a mess recovering his mail when his mailboxes stopped being readable by Mail.
I'm not sure this is what is happening here, but it sorta sound similar.

I'd definitely go with the Xbox 360 version. Nowadays, I'll play the offline version of a game for about 10 hours or so, and end up playing the online version for a whole lot more than that. Until Sony gets their online act together, I'd stick with the 360 for any non-exclusive games.

Perhaps if they just changed things so that the AltiVec unit was the main processor and the original PowerPC parts were ancillary to handle I/O and such, the processor would be useful. Certainly, 128 bits should go somewhat faster than 64 or 32 bits.
Being a developer on 64-bit PowerPC systems, I can tell you that there is definitely greater performance available from those one or two cycle savings. For computers with hundreds or thousands of users, the advantages are clear. The average desktop user will see much less of an advantage unless they're doing 3D, movie editing, or playing 3D games where the calculations tend to be more intense.
Developing such an application would once again be much less error-prone, just as it was since the 8->16 bit and the 16->32 bit conversions. When you're constantly running up against the limits, a native data size increase is nirvana. :)

Maybe my expectations have been too high but the ditching of the crank and even the mention of optional use of Windows is a near-fatal one-two punch for me.
Windows defines software bloat. It seems an unreasonable assumption that the answer to a bloat problem is to run any version of Windows, especially when there are doubtless a lot of potential Linux distros to use (not to mention free use of OS X; Negroponte's refusal on grounds that it wasn't open source is now no longer an excuse with MS on the scene).
Leaving the hand crank aside, the answer to the bloat problem would be to maintain the focus of the device by developing a lean Linux distro that works, not installing Windows CE. I agree that Open Source should remain the defining feature of this project - take that away and it will be the $100 gadget that the Intel CEO predicted.

I have a PowerBook G4 550Mhz and I have to say to you that it is very durable! Not a single scratch for a 10 month old Laptop. Please dont think that the Ti will break in your hands. If you have the option to go for the Ti, well, as a proud owner of one I can say to you... GO AHEAD AND BUY IT!

I appreciate what DVD Jon did to help Linux owners watch dvds, but this is going to far. I hope Apple come up with a fix for this, and soon.
How is this going farther than DeCSS for DVD's?
Last I checked, Linux users couldn't use iTunes DRM'd songs on Linux either. How is this different from the DVD cracker? Its purpose is to use digital files LEGALLY PURCHASED on a device of the purchaser's choice.
The only differences here are that 1) the offending company is Apple, and 2) The iTunes Music Store's terms of service agreement. By using Jon's tool, you KNOWINGLY and WILLINGLY are violating an agreement that you yourself agreed to.
I never signed away my rights to play a DVD on Linux when I bought it, for example, so DeCSS has a tiny bit more of a leg to stand on.
But, this certainly isn't "going too far"

I am folding with a emac 1 ghz sadly i can't run it over night.....
Every bit helps trainguy77! :)
I also don't let my Power Mac G5 run 24/7- parents think its a "waste" of electricity. My dad makes a six figure salary and I can't let one computer run over night. :rolleyes: :)

If this is true (transfer of the music without DRM to be added by iTunes), then couldn't anyone with a bit of networking knowledge just pipe the packets into a file when they purchase something from the store using iTunes?

So I am trying to figure out what exactly happened to Spikey.
It looks like there were multiple instances of his being banned. Does anyone know exactly what happened?

I doubt Apple would waste their time and go after and sue the people who used this program and broke the iTunes contract. It seems like a relatively trivial matter. (But after looking at their thinksecret lawsuit, I don't know).
My comments were about the people who wrote the software, not those that just use it. It's the PyMusique programmers that may face legal troubles, while those who merely use the software may or may not face consequences (I suspect that the worse for them might be termination of their iTunes account, in which case they won't have to worry any longer about iTunes DRM).

I remember when the nano was released. On News24, 10 mins after Job's showed the world, they had one in the studio showing people the new iPod.
I thought the BBC was none advertising and commercial. :rolleyes:
