Are you ready to rumble with an SMP client? ARE YOU?! Well, let us see what the high performance FAQ (http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-highperformance.html) has to say;
November 2006 The SMP client is now looking good enough that we are starting a more broad alpha test outside of Stanford. If that looks good, we will move to a broader beta test of this new client.
Interesting! Very interesting! Hope to see you there! :)

Hmm, yeah I think I've heard about that before. Thanks. I'll have to look around to see if there's a way to make it work with my mac, or I guess I could just use windows...
If you have an intel Mac then you may be able to use crossover (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/download_trial_macosx/) to get the windows drivers for the XboX controller to work under Mac OS X. I have used it to make the windows drivers for my Logitech Precision Gamepad to work and it is flawless for that purpose.

My [rediction is this: Because OS X.1.x supported only UP TO 120 GB drives, that's all they gave it. But being Jaguar can support pretty much any-sized drive, I think that they will soon replace them with 200+ GB drives (the 200 GB drives are out now, Maxtor has 320 GB ones coming soon) How about an Xserver with 800 GB of storage? Not too bad I think :) (Or that RAID! 14*200 = 1800 GB!!)

cool interface,
someone needs to work on a guide for installation, at least a general one and then we would see this explode
1st place: thanks to everyone for the compliments.
What do you mean an installation guide? For the hardware?

Right now, I'm very disappointed at the speed of it. I know that my specs aren't tops, but I'm running on an AMD Duron 1.10GHZ 384MB RAM system. So far, I've been trying to load up disk utility for 20 minutes. I think they need to work on this program a bit better. With virtual PC, you can run that on a 400MHz G3 Mac, and it emulates Windows quite well. Why doesn't Mac come out with something so you can emulate Mac OS X on Mac for testing environments, such as servers?
Heck PearPC runs better! How do I know? I took screens of it, and the installation went WAY WAY faster than this.

How long does it take for a user to appear on the Folding@Home statistics page? I started folding at work today and I was trying to see make sure that the points are being recorded properly and that they are going for the MR team.
I have one machine running now, which is my PC at work, but I am going to be adding another 5 older PCs once I have the time to get them configured. Some of them are quite old/slow, but I figure that something is better than nothing.

I just checked and I've lost 100. It's not a lot, but percentage wise to drop from 384 to 284 is a lot. Oh well. No big deal.

Unless it's been updated recently, the Mac version of FF is really buggy. For example, start a download, then close the browser window. Now open a new browser window. See the problem? :eek:
I have a copy of Camino on my system which I use for the occasional page that won't open in Safari. It's easy to load it too - just highlight the page address and press Cmd-Shift-U.

I was walking past the Chanel shop in South Kensington last night and spotted that they've got two iMacs in their window showing various Chanel slidewhows
But the iMacs are silver rather than white - and have a Chanel logo on the 'chin' rather than the Apple logo. I'm assuming that they may have been colour-wared or just professionally sprayed since they look like the silver is 'supposed' to be there.
I'll try to get a picture when I next pass that way - but has anyone else spotted them in any other Chanel store?

That said, this test is essentialy a test where we do 400000000 double precision square roots which we don't even store and nothing else. There are no memory access, only very predictable branches. I have radically changed the loop and compiler flags and essentially nothing besides the sqrt() makes any difference.
I do not regard this test as important in the overall picture. It does not illustrate anything important to anyone, unless someone sits around doing square roots all day.
I might also add that designing a meaningful benchmark is very hard. I think SPEC is about as good as it gets, and yes the G4 looses in floats there too. :)
I'm in the process of figuring out vMathLib. I'm a Java guy, so all this Altivec stuff looks totally foreign to me :(
Never the less, once I get it working, I'll share the results with you folks.
Also: If anyone here wants me to try something, G3 vs G4, or whatever, aside from the square root and integer mult, let me know. I'd actually like to make full featured cocoa app full of test suites.

Thank gods no one actually listens to Dave Winer (http://davenet.scripting.com/1997/07/08/TheSureRoadtoBankruptcy). I know hindsight is 20/20 but it is still fun rub it in since Winer is such a tool. :D
Some choice quotes:
These were minor gaffes compared to the decision to bail out NeXT's creditors and assume their already bankrupt strategy. Apple shareholders are going to pay dearly for this decision. It's the sure road to bankruptcy for Apple.
Amelio and Apple's board didn't ask developers what they thought of Steve Jobs before they spent their last money buying him out. If they had asked me, I would have said not to do it. I don't trust Jobs.
Jobs was the wrong person to choose to turn around Apple because that isn't what he wants. He wants to turn around NeXT. And he's willing to lose Apple to do it.

How many Java developers on Mac OS X will bite? I'm interested...I just wish that Sun and IBM had talked first, developed a joint technology for development and allowed different GUI and features to implement on top of the same insides and plug-ins.

I don't see how the threads (the one I mentioned above and the one that started this thread) are any different.
From Jeffx342's thread:
The PowerPage had the chance to catch up with a little bird this weekend that told us some interesting things about the new PowerBooks that will eventually replace the current 667/800 MHz models. A source confirmed that the DVD-R SuperDrive will finally squeeze into the svelte Titanium G4 enclosure. The coveted optical drive was put on a diet and has just been rubber stamped for inclusion on TiBook v.4 after losing about 2mm of height. SuperDrives may only appear in the high-end configuration, so start saving those nickles and dimes.
The good news is that the top end model could eclipse even the 1022 MHz PowerBook G4 mules in testing now. G4 silicon running as fast as 1200 MHz (1.2 GHz) has been spotted in the titanium enclosure. The new TiBook will reportedly feature a re-designed motherboard with native Bluetooth support and an updated cooling system. The jury is still out on whether audio and video will get a bump, but one thing's for sure, the new PowerBooks will only boot into Mac OS X.
From the thread I brought up:
Posted by "Macrumors":
PowerPage posts some rumors about even faster prototype Powerbooks.

They also report the new motherboards and built-in bluetooth will be featured... with OS X-only support. No time-frame is given, but if these follow Apple's OS X-Only timeline, it would be expected after Jan 2003.

New PowerBook G4 will be announced next month at the 3rd week.
It seems that according to the information there is no case change with new PowerBook G4 of rumor large with the clock of 1Ghz/800Mhz, Superdrive of expectation is not built in, either, though regrettable, but it is announced by the outside attachment type option.
These two rumors are not the same and involve contrasting discussions about the Superdrive, as well as different clock speeds. So that rumor you were trying to point out is based on different information.

Not surprising. When I was in high school someone broke into our house stole a .22 pistol and a bunch of jewelry, also a pillow cover to carry it. Eventually the .22 turned up after they tried to hold up a convenience store. The thieves were friends with the family across the street.

Nope, dont think so. At some point they will have to dump backward compatibility and try an entire new design, apple was lucky that they could pull it off with 0s 9 -> X. No matter how hard Ms tries they will either keep some of the older now inadequate design or break someones applications, i say brak the apps, get it over with.

What if Intel just quit. They said they were done making chips. Would the world end?
OR, what if they drastically cut production so that prices on the rare chips skyrocketed? Could they get in trouble with the government like Microsoft does? Interesting concept...
OR What if they just his pause for a year.
