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"

Hey,
Is anyone else unable to get new work units? I tried downloading BOINC, and I attached to SETI@home, and Einstein@home, and I'm unable to get work from either of them. If you guys aren't having the problem, what do you recommend to try and trouble shot this?
Thanks,
Don
hey man, it will occasionally go down for a few days at a time, i am unsure why it does it. but it will come back on, just give it a few days. i have my computer set to download about 4days worth at a time so it still does work if the link is down.

I turned off magnification in the dock after a couple of days, and I assume everyone else would to.
Sure it's nice to look at but it's completely useless and always gets in the way.
Why would you assume that?? Do you really believe that everyone computes the same way you do?
I love magnification. I always have it on. In fact, I think the dock is incredbly boring without it. However, I don't ASSUME that everyone else does what I do.
This kind of assumption seems to happen in these forums frequently.

I just got an email from Best Buy advertising that they now sell Macs.Again??
Best Buy has had an on-and-off love affair with Macs. Mostly off.
What is this, the third time they've decided to sell Macs again? Anyone wanna take bets on how it'll last this time?

Yes I have actually. iTunes IS slow, but it's the best. There was an article in MacAddict a few years ago comparing the speeds and quality of different mp3 encoders at the same bitrates.

If I was AOL, I would have done this in a heartbeat as soon as Apple won the right to see the names of the btards that leaked whatever it was.
AOL is just covering it's a$$ and probably every other hosting service is doing the same, most of them just aren't bothering to tell you about it.

I think I'll have to read through MSN Messenger's TOS and see what that has to say. I never use AIM anyways.

When scrounging through old files on my mac, i stumbled across this strange movie. it is an advertisement for internship at apple, which i downloaded sometime last year.
Anyway, within this 1.21 min video, there is a few seconds which really stood out. it appears to show the mac os on login, with all the icons and windows falling into place. surely this has something to do with the testing, or development of quartz extreme!
ive placed a small movie showing exactly what im talking about on my mac.com home page
http://homepage.mac.com/joshwoods/iMovieTheater19.html
Anyone know what this could be? is it just a rendered movie, or is it the mac os in action?

Well, it's now thursday morning.. so the couriers should be delivering soon (well, here in the UK anyways.. a few more hours for u Americans!).
What are the new 1.25's like??? Everything from apps to games performance!
The 1ghz model doesn't perform much better than the 867.. so i'm hoping for more from the 1.25... fingers crossed!

Hehehe ok well sounds like Ill star folding on my ibook aswell, last question(sorry for being anal) but is folding 24/7 on an ibook a good idea(with high temps and all) or should I only folding for short periods at a tim ie 8 or 9 hours, sorry fo being dumb I just dont wanna fry me new beloved ibook :p
All the answers are in the FAQ thread, and this question is asked about once a week, so, here again the same answer: Your laptop can handle the heat, but if you leave it folding 24/7 it's a good idea to get a coolingpad. Also it's recommended to leave the processorspeed on automatic in energysaver. Welcome to folding!! You to Abstract, and nice setup, despite that it is a wintel box

Well things felt very different when Gocyrus disappeared! Flaming was down %50!! I have felt a change in the way things have been going on around here, I think the forums are more fact then crazed speculation and also people are Alittle more realistic in their predictions. Also flame wars are more controlled(Thanks to Arn) I am happy with the change though it has been for the betterment of Macrumors. I can't wait to see the next stages we go thorugh!

They fix several minor QT Player features that drove me crazy before. Clicking on the QT icon in the dock no longer brings up a new window, if none existed before.
Second, the High Quality video setting can be enabled for every clip that it is available for.
Thirdly, QT Player is now multithreaded so you don't have to wait for a clip to process.

Well kinda,
you can start only one process, and never the other (command line "start1") but it really won't get you anywhere in most cases. Since the system sets the priority so low for folding, you will not notice if both processors are folding at the same time. I can run folding@home while encoding H.264 in relatively the same amount of time as I can running only the H.264 encoding software alone.
The Folding@home FAQ in my signature has great information in regards to the program, and you can go to Stanford's site to learn more detailed information.
So in short,
You can fold on only one process at a time if you like, but the speed loss you experience on other processes while folding are next to nill. I am one of many people in the fold that rarely shut the folding application down on my system.
HTH, and others please chime in with corrections or your input!

Oh Ok thanks.......well then not really a difference :p

Hmmm...interesting...so Jabber can gateway to an MSN chat server?
Yeah, I use Adium primarily because I have too many friends on MSN....But I don't really do video / audio chatting...I'd like to though.
See, the thing is jabber can but I am not sure if the jabber support in Tiger actually means that there could be a plugin... wait and see I guess but I am sure hoping.
20%-30% of the people I know use msn and I just choose to ignore them. Why do I have to be the one with two clients open? ;)
And yes, it is really nice to video-chat, especially when you're in a different country and can do it with friends and family.

What? Is there a different rule for Canada? it was always free until June, now that's been expanded to July.
yeah but then it's gonna cost $5 USD in June or July or whatever. Bottom line is it will cost me. And Nintendo and their jerk-ass way, charges me $11.30 USD for 1000 Points. They charge me my 13% sales tax (GST + PST in BC Canada) but they charge me in USD! So I get to pay another 19% on top of the 13%! 1000 wii points cost me almost $14, pffffft to that....

...and have the 32 meg video card as "standard" for ibook
that's another thought;)
