Even though no one seems to really post in here, it could be a nice place to have secluded discussion about MR stuff instead of on the General board.
Just my random thought after finding this forum for the first time.
Its 'exclusiveness' and yeah It needs to be moved.

I believe those are the numbers that HP came out with at release and the word was that something rather dodgy was done to get them. In virtually every real world test I have seen the McKinley servers have come out behind the POWER4.

I found a pretty decent fix for TiPB airport reception.
Try this. (http://www.macnet2.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=1095)
Read the post about a quarter of the way down by WebDiva.
I was next instructed to eject the battery and look at the right side wall of the battery compartment where I was supposed to find an approximately 5 cm long plastic strip. (My particular powerbook doesn't have this visible -- instead, there is a plate with the serial number, etc...) Still, he told me to firmly press the side wall of the powerbook against the frame, just slowly and firmly pressing along its length several times for about 10 seconds. Next, he told me to replace the battery and start her back up.
Seems like pertinent information for anyone that has a TiPB w/Airport.
Let me know if this works for anyone (not trying to hijack).

Perhaps.
I finally found out what was preventing me from upgrading to Dapper Drake, and I am very impressed with Dapper Drake. The GUI for GNOME is absolutely beautiful. It almost makes me want to buy a cheap windows laptop just to run it.
I know if I get an Intel mac I'm definetly going to put Ubuntu on it.

How exactly does SETI and other distributed computing work? I mean what if I just "lose" my files that I was computing, the whole project will be ruined. And what exactly does it compute.

Apple won't be using this 970 anytime soon. 2005 at best, if ever. A new chipset would be required, plus tons of new drivers and all software would be have to rewritten to be fully optimized. Not likely to happen in such a depressed tech sector we got.
Motorola is all we can pray for now. Motorola needs to stop monkeying around, get off their duffs, stop drinking imported champaigne, and go to Intel and license some of their tech to get the G4 clock speed up to 3GHZ, ASAP. If they did that, we could easily see dual 3GHZ G4s or G5s PowerMacs in January 2003. That is the most viable, fastest, and cheapest solution for both Apple and Motorola.

Its sad, long ago I had a nintendo it worked fine, I still play and dust it off from time to time...
Lets see how far people can go back This really is a 2 Part question:
1. Whats the oldest you have currently?
2. What is the oldest one you use?
For me its nintendo and the one I use is N64, Golden Eye baby!
:D

Well I am rather stupid with these quiz things, and I don't remember most of the answers.
However I do know who was the other Admin. Blackspot was the other Admin, he did most of the story approving.
Does anyone remember the old icons MR used for Games? OS X?

Edit: bingo, yes:
The AMD Opteron is set for early 2003 shipping, the AMD Athlon based on Hammer is set for late 2003 (but SHIPPING, not PRODUCTION).
"Shipments of the AMD Opteron processor for servers and workstations are planned to begin in the first half of 2003. Shipments of AMD�s eighth-generation AMD Athlon processor for desktops are planned to begin in the fourth quarter of 2002."

So yes, months before the PowerPC 970.

I think they'll stick with letting Altivec handle SIMD operations and leave the INT cores alone (IMHO).
The Sony Playstation 2 currenty, "split carries," as you put it.

This may come as a shock, but no, not everybody has AC. :D Of course, then again, some of us live in areas where it only gets above 80 for a handful of days a year.
Well living in Houston, where it gets up to 110�f. You couldn't live without it.

Lets put OS X onto the PC platform and get the best of both words.
Because while I admit that the G4 is faster than the P4 on a cycle to cycle comparison, the fact that P4 is pushing 3GHz while we are still at 1.25 is a bit sad.
Plus you are talking about 533mhz busses and RD RAM, many other hardware issues set the PC platfrom above the Mac.
I give apple an "A" for aesthetic design and a "D" for engineering design.
I give Unix and the OS X version of it an A for both design and aesthitcs.
That is my honest view. BTW I am waiting on a PB with a faster FSB and 1.0GHz because I can't bring myself to spend $3500+ on a PC133 machine!
