I have a Pentium 4 at work that does nothing. I will start folding with it. I've never done this, how do I start? I obviously want to be on the MacRumors team.
for PCs, i like running it as a service. it'll run regardless of who's logged on. a good implementation can be found under "Folding@Home Windows Service Installer" on this page (http://teammacosx.homeunix.com/software.html). since it's a work PC, to abide by the EULA, you must have permission to use the machine for folding.
the installer will give you a chance to enter your userid and team # (3446).

wasn't it Mr. Gate investment in Apple that prevent them from going bankrupt?
Wow.
I too would like to hear why you say that.

If I can't create sophisticated charts, access a large library of functions, create sophisticated array formulas, design pivot table reports, implement web controls, or program macros and create custom GUIs with an extended object library, then Google's offering is meaningless to me.
Hate to say this, but Microsoft will be king of the spreadsheet applications for a long time.

Apple and the music industry in general will continue to rake in the $$$ regardless of this development - the real threat to the industry was always P2P, not sales.
And if the industry would sell cheaper music without DRM then P2P wouldn't be as big of a problem.

I am amazed by the level of apathy here. It seems that Apple will simply be able to ignore the issue, since even in a community of followers there is little interest in discussing the issue to any great extent. Outside of this community the issue appears to have died away. How sad it is that we feel no responsibility for our actions anymore.
Why don't you punish Wal-Mart or Nike or Disney or any other company buying their products from another group which handles the manufacturing in China? Why just Apple?
I didn't register a vote because there was no choice for "Punish Hon Hai for breaking the law."

The HD-DVD player is VERY quiet. Just make sure your 360 has no disc in its normal DVD drive when using the HD-DVD player and volume wise its exactly the same as the PS3 playing BluRay player.
MRU - you know I own the 360 and the HD-DVD drive. What I meant was, if the Xbox 360's standard drive is also an HD-DVD player, it won't be practical unless the fan is a lot quieter.

Hi guy's
A job has to be done so use the best software to do that.
In my case OS-X can't be beaten.
Look at "The Knowledgenavigator", not about speed but easy to use.
Make life easy, and Think different.

PCs were soon running Windows (3.1 or 3.11 for Workgroups) and had VGA monitors, pixel-based monitors like Macs had, and they had mice now: two-button mice instead of Mac-style mice, but mice nonetheless. Double-click things and they open. Click and drag and things move, etc. Windows had overhead menus, too, just like a Mac (except that their menus stayed down when you clicked them), and after the first few iterations started to standardize menu commands, using the Mac standards but mapping the PC's Control key in lieu of the Mac's ⌘ key which the PC keyboard did not have. Speaking of keyboards, the Mac optionally came with an extended keyboard with all those PC keys like Page Up and Num Lock; even the standard keyboard now came with a Control key!
This was highly useful when Insignia Solutions shipped their SoftPC product. A PC emulator that could run MS-DOS on a Mac! You would designate a folder as a shared directory, and the DOS environment would see it as an E: drive or some such thing, and that way you could move stuff back and forth between environments.
Computers had hard drives now, but once again the PC and Mac worlds had adopted different implementations: the Mac had SCSI hard drives, the PC ubiquitously shipped with IDE drives.
Macs, beginning with the SE and the Mac II, could run multiple monitors which worked as an extended desktop. Under MS-DOS, the PC could run more than one monitor, too, but very few people did it, as support wasn't well-integrated into the OS. It wasn't like an extended desktop, it was more like "which screen do you want to be 'on' now?" and it was even messier under Windows: it was an accomplishment to get the mouse cursor to move from one to the other, let alone moving an icon from one to the other.
Common file formats began to be common: there was an internet, if not yet a web, and ".gif" and ".tif" and ".jpg" and ".aif" and ".mod" and other filetypes that were almost as often Unix or Amiga in origin as PC or Mac were soon supported by software on PCs and Macs.
Thursby Systems put out a product called DAVE which put a NetBIOS stack on the Mac and let the Mac participate in TCP-based PC networks. (Less useful for small-biz or home-based PC networks still based on NetBEUI though). Both platforms had some software that would do FTP, though, and internet-based email. Not that internet-based email was big yet � CompuServe and AOL and Prodigy and etc were how most folks emailed � but either way, email was a definite way of linking the platforms.
Removable media got popular, although far more so on the Mac. Bernoulli drives, SyQuest drives, Floptical drives, and later on, Zip drives and Jaz drives and CD-ROMs. The Macs could natively read PC-formatted media as well as Mac-formatted media, and if you could find a PC with the appropriate drive, you could exchange files that way.
Mac folks still formatted a lot of their media Mac-formatted, because Macs could boot from damn near anything (Zip, Jaz, CD, SyQuest, Bernoulli, PCCard, you name it) but to boot from it it had to be Mac-formatted, aka HFS. And because of the resource-fork issue (FAT-16 or FAT-32, the main PC formats, were "flat", so resource-fork info had to be either discarded or stored in invisible parallel folders, which was inefficient).
With Windows95, the PC finally found a use for that extra mouse button, the contextual menu; and alongside of introducing to the PC world a plethora of Mac-like items such as a real Desktop you could save stuff to or store stuff on, a trash can (recycle bin), a customizable menu like the Apple Menu (Start Menu), and icons that indicated what application would "own" it (implemented via a headache called the "registry" since the PC had no resource fork for such metadata), Windows95 introduced the task bar, refined the klunky Win3.x notion of "minimizing" so as to have minimized windows represented as clickable icons on the task bar, and integrated the act of selecting program-type processes with the act of managing files (previously separate under Win3.x), again like the Mac, and implemented some drag-and-drop functionality as well, while rolling out a pair of serious low-level OS infrastructural elements: preemptive multitasking and protected memory. On the PC you could now hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and pick a hung or otherwise unwanted running program and nuke it from orbit.
The Mac copied the sticky Windows menus that stayed down when you clicked them as of OS 8, and soon had contextual menus which, in the absence of a second mouse button, were invoked by control-clicking. More and more commercial applications used the same file format on PC and Mac, and increasingly were inclined to stick a PC-style file extensions suffix at "save" time, while auto-recognzing files with the appropriate suffixes as one of theirs even without File Exchange gluing on an appropriate File Type code. And then Macs began shipping with ATA (IDE) drives instead of SCSI, and as a consequence could mount a PC's hard drive on its Desktop as easily as a PC floppy if you had the cables to connect it. And then the NuBus card slots gave way to PCI card slots, which had already replaced ISA card slots on the PC, and now the very same expansion cards could work on a Mac or a PC as long as you had the right software drivers for your OS. RAM also increasingly became generic � whereas once upon a time, PC RAM had been different from Mac RAM (with an extra parity chip for the PC RAM, if I recall correctly), Mac models would generally come out using a RAM specification that was in current use in the latest PCs as well.
Windows95, and its successor Windows98, although they had a memory architecture theoretically supporting protected memory and a threading architecture implementing preemptive multitasking, accomplished both of those as a bit of a kludge. The MacOS of the same vintage limped along with cooperative multitaking (which worked better than it should have, and up until crash time would let Macs run more apps concurrently than PCs as a general rule) and an incredibly old and moldy memory model (which didn't even do virtual memory worth a damn, and which required one to manually designate how much RAM a given app should have, rather than having the OS allocate it dynamicallyu). Even in memory-management, the Mac wasn't totally in shame, as it handled large amounts of RAM gracefully while the Windows PC tended to have problems with that.

So can anyone actually get this "prank" to work? When I launch the app, I don't get any window, so it just looks to me like a poorly-executed prank.
I suspected that something was wrong, but I haven't been able to fix it.

Edit: We all lambasted your URL posting but didn't thank you for the link. It's always fun to see what we were talking about in years past. I loved the "iPad" reference to a new PDA, as well as looking forward to a 733MHz G4.

Maybe this should be a new feature for the folding widget: to look when you will be overtaken by someone or when you overtake someone.
No can do, sry.
I too thought this would have been a nice feature and asked EOC to maybe put that data in the xml file they provide.
They will not do it, as it takes away any necessity to go watch your stats on their page (they still do like traffic to the their pages). I understand. The best thing you can do is set yourself a goal to overtake -and maybe a threat - and start multiple instances of the widget showing their positions. :o
They did 'ok' some other changes which will be available through the widget when they implement it (well maybe a few days later). Nothing too fancy mind you, but still nice.
Not as popular as i hoped this widget :(. But my hopes were probably way to high up there :D.
Well...
Stay tuned!

Sure, it's the same kind of crack that affect iTMS, but the difference is, you have to give iTMS a buck first. Napster allows you to grab their whole library for $15 a month.
If you get 100 users to spend 2 months downloading 10,000 songs each, Napster gets $3,000, and (in time) we get all their stuff. To do that to iTMS would, of course, still be a buck-a-song.
...and yeah, the whole "Napster's Back" is total crap. There's nothing common but the legal right to the name.
