The G4 line of products from Apple are overall, very well built. Good quality hardware that's sure to survive at least another 10 years. I have one G3 power mac that was built in '98 and it's been running my SVN repos at home for the past 4 years.

My point is, they seem to have worked more on eye candy than the actual goal of the project. Why did they go apeshit making an ugly theme BEFORE finishing the 3.1 apis? That's stupid.


You need to get on the aros developer mailing list, then you'd have a clearer picture of what's going on development wise.

That'll probably be the first external add on to the Xena bus, a sex bot.  Guess 64K of RAM could handle it?  That'll rock Helgis' world.


I'm working on that, an expansion card for the "xorro" slot to control a number of "vibration" devices. Having a hell of a time trying to get the profile for the PCIe x16 slot designed. If anybody knows of a lib for the card edge connector for a pcie 16x interface for altium, i'd love to see it.

I want to read more about DHCP-protected contents, please :)


What does that mean anyway?

I have an iPod touch and I only use it as a portable web browser. All I ever wanted and it was relatively cheap. I can check my mail when I'm on the toilet, read stupid crap on the internet when I'm laying in bed.

Reminds me, can one turn off the automated screen rotation? Without jailbreaking it, that is?


I hate that, it drives me up the wall. I don't know of any way to fix the layout. As far as I'm concerned it should always be in landscape mode, can't use the keyboard for anything in portrait mode.

The avarige 2005 PC can't even run xp any more. When I was running my celeron/512mb system I wanted to cut my dick off every time I tried to open a word processor and firefox at the same time. it's weird how the system requirements for Xp are 128mb ram, but it uses just under 350 on first boot. No weird load-on-startup programs installed, theming turned off.

sloooooow


I've had some slow computing experiences in my time spent here on Earth, but never once have I ever thought about cutting my dick off because of it.

It was about the same as this level of rage. There's a point where you just want to break everything, all at once.


If you get to the point of rage like the guy in the video you posted:



You have serious issues. This dude tried to shove a remote up his ass over his mom canceling his WOW account, but that's not nearly as bad as cutting your dick off over win XP.

This thread is going on and on about Windows vs Mac. Check the title, I believe it mentions Amiga.
.


Kind of sucks really. I like Mac, Windows, Linux and Amiga. I use 'em all and I suspect most of us are kind of OS agnostic in this regard.

Microsoft has had a nasty little habit of entering into agreements with companies to develop various things just to pull out and release something ahead of schedule leaving the other guy with his pants down. They did it to IBM, they did it to SGI.

For the record, OS/2 was fucking awful, there is a damn good reason it failed in the market place.

I value honesty over manners.


As do I, but you haven't been honest. You're cherry picking stuff and slamming folks for no reason. Take some of that mess down a notch.
