ummmm mathematics may be a language but it is only a language because it is an abstraction of preexsisting conditions which have always exsisted or are the creation of gasp!! other mathematical procedures. ummm and creativity is considered the highest form of intelligence in the psychology field.

public class rant { Oh and saying this might also offend you but its just my opinion so dont take it to heart. But I think this does in fact show the damaging effects of microsoft's monopoly in the IT industry. People dont even know what security means, and they are content with not knowing what their computer is doing.

Ka806 - Explain to me why I have never gotten a virus using IE (while employing a virus scanner) and why I don't get more than 10 to 15 spyware entries in ad-aware or the fact that I have never been hacked. I'll stick to IE and will be even happier when IE7 comes out in a few months I mean to put

Yes...and Shakespeare, the US Constitution, the Dead Sea Scrolls, et al are just manipulated words.....so it follows they cannot be copyright or have exclusive content. What drivel. Umm the manipulation of words analogy is what is in fact drivel. Words were created by man as a mere tool of expres

perhaps it's horses for courses. ofcourse IE doesn't offer multi-tabs which would be nice. or a function that enables mouse gestures. or the ability to remove frames and annoying ads. or a scrapbook facility for saving pages without having to invest in third party software. or an online community of developers that don't wish to

Actually it has been proven that IE is faster then Firefox both from a cold start and display times. I had a test a while back that showed you that IE was faster. As far as pop-ups well my google toolbar takes care of that and I think MS included a pop-up blocker in SP2. (I don't use SP2) <img src="ht

Reply to Microsoft going to bring command-line shell into the 20th century in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I find it fairly pathetic that microsoft still hasnt done this.... yet they put things like that bastard paper clip that nags me to death on microsoft office. But hey everyone is not a programmer so I guess they are catering to their market. I just hope they dont bring another half-assed product to the table, and use their monopoly to make it standard throughout the computing world. I put money in that they will.

LOL AMD blows intel away by a long shot in everyway Apple prolly went with intel because they were working with intel for 5 years behind the scenes (At the same time they were professing the ppc architecture to be god -----ooooo them mac people gotta be pissed) 5 years ago, amd wasnt pushing their athlon line as much as they are today.

Ummm browse security aint clear cut like that. There will always be firefox flaws being reported. Mozilla is by far handling it the best by actively seeking the problem reporting it, and fixing it promptly. Look at how fast 1.4 came after getting their first critical flaw. Mozilla works very closely with secunia to actively find these flaws. You have noticed how the flaw is actually reported first.....rather than in the IE world where a couple

hehe x86 and x86 based goes much farther then semantics. Thats like saying linux is unix because linux is unix based Im just saying dont take the story farther then it is. Oh and I dont really care for apple. But if I did i would be pissed off after hearing Steve tout ppc as the best then turn around and say that watt for watt intel outperforms ppc but thats

well any emulation software can do that. Itll just take a performance hit.Wine is striving to do that. But your request are pretty extreme (though the open source community is up to the challenge). But it does suck tat dreamweaver and photoshop and office xp are windows only. I think those are the only apps out there without linux alternatives that are just as good or better.

Oh and if it is emulation software (not like wine or crossover) then it will run windows applications perfectly. Wine and crossover are NOT emulators. But it doesnt mater what the architecture transistion is, there WILL be a performance hit because you are in an essence running another OS withing Mas OS. Just ask the people who use VMWare. It will be far from seemless. Emulation is poor at best. It should be a very last resort if anything.</fo

Whats wrong with crossover office. It runs office xp perfectly and is ez to install and manage. Even cedega is making strides, seeing as I can run world of warcraft better on linux then I can on windows. The wine projects and its derivatives are very young and going very fast. And theres really no resources as big as the open source community

No its not on an x86 nore x86-64 architectures. This will be an entirely new architecture that is x86 based You will ONLY be able to run apple software on apple machines. Its just an architecture change. Nothing more. They are only changing chip makers, its not as big a deal as people are making it out to be. This is more business news then technology news.

no Macs will not run on x86 no systems wont dual boot mac/windows its just a architecture change, not a switch to x86. This is a bad move cause now developers have to recompile, and passibly do major tweaking to lots of software.

i think apple makes the ram and i dunno about the ram but i think u can upgrade that with any ram stick. I dunno im not really a mac guru or anything. They try 2 hard to push their wacky philosophies down my throat =P In the end itll prolly mean nothing except less market share for apple. I was just planning to get a ibook though.
