We have discussed those methods before, and that doesn't help. The 5MB are for new WU's, Beta units if I'm correct. -advmethods wasn't for Tinkers (or not getting them). And G5's can handle Tinkers, G4 and G3's can too. It only takes a bit longer. I also see a big dent in my output with my G5.
The G4s are really bad at Tinkers. Clock for clock, the latest G3s are faster processing Tinkers than the G4s since the G4 has such pathetic floating point capabilities.

During a lot of last summer I wasn't able to have internet access, so I missed a lot of that fun. Dare I look under Mr. A's profile and check out his post count record deviated a whole 0.5 posts per day. :p
I just saw some children read the last line in the previous post, then read the signature. They now only visit the forums while wearing a mask and a set of highly protective gloves. :eek:

As I said, high protection gloves. :D

More importantly, seems like bad news for MS. If they can't bundle their way through the market, how will they maintain market domination with inferior software?
Yes, I hate MS Office that much.

I think that's true.
Look at the latest ads for Intel, no Ghz is mentioned at all, it focuses on multimedia stuff.
I think Apple had at least some part in that mindset.
They're slowy moving away from Ghz, but still, to do major multimedia stuff, you need speed.

Just a minute. You are saying that some guy working in retail sales is clueless and uninformmed. What do you expect? Comp USA pays like $7.00 per hour.
I remember being at Fry's (big california discount chain) someone asked a technical about a graphic card. The sales person took the box from the customer and attempeted to answer the question by reading aloud the back of the box as if he was helpig a customer who could not read. Of course he had no clue that what he was reading did not address the question. Fry starts new sales people at minimum wage.
I once asked a question at Fry's about the difference between two CRT monitors that for All I could see had identical specs and the same manufacturer. The salesman when to get his supervisior. The "expert" came out of the back room and said that one of the two hade "more megahertz inside" and he thinks the "co-processor is faster". I give credit the the saleman who admited "I don't know" then to his boss. (turned out one CRT had higher max vertical refresh)

(btw... i thought SSX Blur would be really really good and it's ok but not that great at all.)
Yeah me too. The small video previews on the net make it look better than it does when its full size on your tv screen, and it plays like ..... meh ......
It's not awful, just utterly utterly average in every regard. 6/10 kind of game.
Oh and I always thought the godfather games just looked crap on all formats.

I have a question
I plan on applying for a job at the apple store near me. I am in school right now and going home for the summer this year. Should i go down to the apple store before i leave school (i.e. in the next two weeks) and let them know i am interested or do i wait until about 2 weeks before college starts up again and then go inquire about a job?
If i went down now that would be about 3 months before i could actually work.
Any insight is great.

Nevermind, i did an experiment per a friend's instructions over on MacOSXHints.com (http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?p=264539#post264539)
and it showed that the screen saver does not run once the display is slept.
Thanks for finding that out, I had been wondering the same thing. But I was lazy and just set the screen saver for "never" and set my display to sleep after 3 minutes.

Why not keep 'em connected? Minimal inter-WU folding downtime! ;) :D

Wow, so that's how the other half lives....
We only get about 5% of our files as PDF. We accept any file you got, and I mean ANYTHING. Word, Excel:eek:, Publisher, Powerpoint:eek:, Wordperfect:eek:. Heck, we had a client send us a Broderbund Print Shop Deluxe file once :eek: :eek: (OK, we re-created that one :rolleyes: ).
I wouldn't ever look to upgrade an application unless I needed a specific feature, personally. But some designer somewhere is going to buy CS2, and they are going to expect that their printer is somehow expert with an application the day it is released. We have 20 Macs and 4 PCs in our prep department and 10 operators to train, so every new release is a couple of grand down the hole. No wonder the company Pres. call us SS PrePress.
Yeah, I've talked to some of the printers and asked if they wanted files in any other format, most of the time they tell me "it's too much of a hassle."
If someone sends them a compressed file with all the fonts, images, etc. and there is a problem, the printer can either fix it themselves or have the designer do it. Based on what I've heard, most of the time the designer is someone just out of community college design school and thinks "overprint" is when the paper is wet after ink touches it.
If there is a problem with my PDF file, it's easy for them to correct, if not they call me and I submit a new one. Simple as that.
If I managed a pre-press department, I would probably be in jail. I give you props, man -- that's a tough job!

Are you basing your prediction on reason and research or plain apple fanboyism?
If you read the first article, it says:
"In early representatives of Apple and Creative, including Apple CEO Steve Jobs, met to discuss ways they could work together, the complaint stated. Apple requested to license Creative's technology and also suggested it could invest in a potential spinoff of Creative's music player business, but Creative declined both proposals, according to Creative's complaint."
Why would apple do this? It is obvious that apple knows it might lose, hence trying to break a deal outside of court.
That meeting occurred FIVE YEARS AGO. Well before Apple could have even thought of Creative suing them for an interface. I think the mountain of prior art by, well, almost everyone (like NeXT, and since Apple bought NeXT, all of that prior art is now Apple's), will probably end up invalidating Creative's patent.

While the first results that came out indicated they were roughly equivalent in speed, the review in the latest MacWorld indicates that the new DDR Dual 1GHz Power Mac outperforms the old one by 20% on average. If the old adage that users can notice any performance difference >15%, this is significant.
So despite the smaller L3 cache, something about the design of these machines seems to make them significantly faster.
Nonetheless, it is apparent that they are not taking full advantage of the power of DDRAM.

A period.
I'm aware of it's purpose as a form of punctuation within the english language, but what are you trying to infer by putting after those two quotes? They're not exactly definitive comments that simply require a period to reenforce them, if that was your intention.

I once bought an iBook from CompUSA that I later found out had been a display model. It came loaded with 700 songs (quite good ones actually). Then I had to re-install the OS and I thought that the songs had been included by Apple from the factory--I called and asked them where they were, and they said they had never sold a computer preloaded with songs, so I am pretty sure looking back on it, and remembering some of the other odd circumstances of the purchase, that CompUSA had not been forthcoming that I was buying a display model.

I thought it was dead.
The reports of it's death were greatly exaggerated, partly due to a misunderstanding about the intent of NeoOffice.
Hmm, blatant misrepresentation and sensationalism on Slashdot, whould'a thunk :rolleyes:
Basically the developers had said that the Aqua native version was not going to be under active development, because they didn't have the resources and thought NeoOffice was the way to go. The X11 version was always being worked on.
I think the NeoOffice developers (both of them! Have to give those two a huge amount of thanks for what they've done), have since worked something out to make sure an Aqua native version is not permanently shelved either.
