IGN is very biased, its just another port with gimmicky motion add-ons. Plus its EA, which should tell you enough already.

Apple has for a long time had HP scanners and cameras on their site--Ya know the company that sells the "e pcs." I don't this as being a lot different. I'm sure if Dell decided to get into the mp3 player market they'd dump the ipod and if Apple makes an icam, we'll see some things fly off of their pages. As it stands Dell is not only boosting Apple, but themselves by letting their potential customers know that their computers work with the worlds finest mp3 player. right? maybe

...and the cost it can entail to buy items for your character (Like Everquest) on EBay.
I've never actually known anyone that bought stuff for real money for an MMO... that I know of, at least.;) It's certainly not required.
World of Warcraft is head and shoulders above the rest, imo. If you're the kind of person who will obsessively play a game until it's completed, stay away... fair warning.

You can put it on your imac/transfer it, but you can't put it in a queue behind the WU it is doing now. When your iMac has finished its WU and send it to Stanford, stop the folding client and replace the following items in your fah folder from your powerbook:
- work folder
- unitinfo.txt
- queue.dat
- fahlog.txt
Start your client again and it should go further with the WU. You might need to restart your iMac to use the extra altivec boost.

Wow :eek: nice setup, my iBook has been chugging along for the past few days and only has 32% :eek: Points looks like its going to be 234 so it should be worth it :D .
Welcome to the team, you should be overtaking mw soon :mad: . But it cool just keep on folding for our team and help reachers fight diseases. :)

Well, just returned home from Southlake (again), and realized I am a star. Great videos razzmatazz and peterparker. Would you mind if I sent them to Paramount and/or the WB. I really think I have good potential as an extra.:eek:

Apple really should be setting a good example, and based on recent financial statements has the profit margin to do it.
That said, I'm not entirely sure about these figures; they're claiming a plant that employs 200,000 people working 15 hour days, and implies that's primarily iPods (I say this based on the "iPod city" phrase, though one assumes the plants make other stuff, too).
Now, with Apple selling around 8 million iPods a quarter (some of which are Shuffles, which they said are made at a different plant), that works out to 2.5 million iPods a month, maximum (assuming there are nearly zero shuffles sold, and almost all of the rest are made there), or 115K iPods per workday (assuming a 5-day week). Now, were all 200,000 people building iPods, that would work out to it taking almost two 15-hour person-days to assemble a single iPod.
I could be mistaken here, but based on the takeaparts I've seen, and the fact that these plants are just assembly of parts from elsewhere, I seriously doubt it takes someone 25 hours of work to put a Nano together and box it up, even if absolutely everything was done by hand and not using machinery. Not to mention at $50 a day that would put the labor cost at $85 not including housing.
Obviously it's not costing even a fraction of that to assemble an iPod (the parts ain't that cheap, and there's a rather fat margin on them), so either these numbers are drastically off somewhere, or only a tiny fraction of those workers are building iPods.
I'm not saying that it's not entirely likely Apple is hiring a lowest-common-denominator company to assemble iPods, and I'd argue that at the very least they should be outsourcing to somewhere that's a "good" place to work, at least by local standards, but I'm not jumping to conclusions about an article that at the very least is misrepresenting Apple as having a city of 200,000 underpaid workers living in dorms cranking out iPods for the world.
I'll wait to hear a little more before I make any decisions. Here's a Wired article that notes the contractor is generally considered pretty good by East Asian labor standards, and that the Mail article may be hyperbolic:

ddtlm,
I have my theory as to why java took the lead over C in the sqrt example. There is quite a common misconception about Java that it's always slow, and there is a reason for it. Back in the early days prior to 1.2, it wasn't uncommon to see something like we did here run 10,20, or even 30 times slower then C. VM's today (1.4 /w hotspot) are much smarter than they were years ago. IMO, Hotspot makes the conventional "just in time compilers" look like a thing of the past.
Anyways, when you really think about it, Java really has an extra card up it's sleeve. Sure we tell GCC we want max optimizations, (03, etc), but GCC is limited to compile-time optimization. I think since java has adaptive runtime optimizations, specifically hotspot, the runtime optimization is what really makes the difference.
The reason why it's called "HotSpot", is literally because it looks for "hot spots" by profiling on the fly at runtime. Pretty cool, huh? Your first adaptive optimizations kick in second time the loop is ran. Not to mention the conventional JIT optimizations... code will natively compile and so you eliminate the costly overhead of bytecode translations.
Lastly, I am going to do the matrix operation you spoke about, I have to finish up some course work, so I may not get to it tonight, but as soon as I can devote some time to it, I will.

Man, I LOVE my NES.
Favorite NES games:
Ninja Turtles 1. I declare this game unbeatable without Game Genie.
Ninja Turtles 2
Mario 2 and 3
Contra
Castlevania
RC Pro Am
Mega Man 2
Excitebike
I'm forgetting several. The cool thing is, one of my friend's family used to own a video rental place before Blockbuster came in and shut them down. So they have virtually every NES game ever. We have the lay down mat for Track and Field. It's great!
The SNES might be my favorite system of all time.
Super Mario World - Best Mario ever.
Shadowrun - this might be my favorite video game ever.

Such self-righteous indignation! (In the first post.)
Why should Apple be punished? They aren't employing the workers or denying them their rights. It's Apple's supplier that is doing so: if anyone deserves to get punished, it's the supplier.
Did Apple know that the workers were being exploited? Perhaps it thought that they were being treated fairly and that no checks were necessary. If that's the case, then the worst thing they are guilty of is being naive.

I think the BBC are blatantly pro-Apple. Take this image accompanying a pretty much unrelated story about search engines (it's on the Technlogy front page rather than the story itself):
Though ironcally, the iMac in the foreground has a Windows-related page open! And the story, for those interested:

All that needs to happen now is for Labour to announce they favour Apple too, and then the circle will be complete

Seeing how Motorola has been slacking off as it would seem, I wouldn't expect the G5 chip for a long time, possibly until late 2003. I looked at a PDF of Motorola's PPC processor chart, made in November and it then was talking about the G5. I was in Austin, TX attending a computer camp and heard that some guy leading the tour group talked about not only a G5 chip, but a G6 chip as well, and this was about 2 YEARS ago.
Unless theres something being hidden from public eyes, like what the new power macs will be sporting in Jan I don't see the possibility of a G5 chip yet. Though it is a possibility that there are gonna be some faster (much faster) chips now that OS X is gonna dominate.
My 2 cents as well.
