Just FYI - it's the OS that makes preemptive multitasking work not the CPU (yeah I know the CPU has to support protected and user modes but every CPU in a desktop or server made since the mid 80's has that).

Wow, it really sounds like this is likely to use stolen code. Based on PearPC with lots of evidence--even while the author denies that!
I certainly wouldn't be giving them money until that is answered!
And is this actually much better than the open source PearPC anyway?
It was already proven by the author of PearPC a few months ago because there was some information that had not be changed from PearPC.
If it's only an edit to remove the original author's information, a re-compile and a GUI shell, that's not enough to charge for it and it shows poor ethics.

it might be morally okay to use songs in your wedding video, but it's not morally okay to break the law in order to put them there when you have legal means of either doing so (which is the case--buy the CD)As I understand it, the issue of using music in your wedding video has nothing to do with breaking DRM, but instead with violating copyright. Even you get the music off of a CD, it would still be illegal.

well put Arn.
And I am still laughing at those people wondering how one could tell an IBM or AMD exec !!!!!
Are you guys still wondering ?
A few of you can be quite funny dudes, just a few.

I do but then again I work for a small company where each person is responsible for their own computer. Myself and one other employee provide most of the more advanced tech support when things go bad. I've installed the client on a few machines that have a lot of idle time, with the promise that if they ever cause any problems they will be removed.
The work computers count for more than half of my output.
The other employee folds as well but I don't believe it's the same as the Stanford folding.

Obviously this person is experienced the world of PC's otherwise their first two posts would not be knocking something that we have been waiting a long time for.
Yes, PC's are loud too. PowerMac's are loud. Kick on iTunes and blast some music over a nice set of H/K's and boom. Problem solved. Or, just buy an iMac, or PowerBook.

i remember when i was screaming, along with spikey and some others, to kill off motorola and apple connection and go ibm on all fronts...but now, i am not so sure
the new powermacs got a pretty glowing review in the latest macworld and people i know with the pentium 4 sometimes swear the pentium 3 was faster
i think a dual 1.25 ghz g4 is still sexier than a 2 ghz+ pentium 4 any day of the week!
and that includes tuesdays:p

Like multitasking for example I have burned a CD while running RC5 and Folding@Home in the background and then started up Unreal Tournament and played a few rounds with little to no drop in speed and stability. Lets see you do that with ANY PC. I did this all while my PC using friends looked (drooled) on. They could not believe there eyes and both started mumbling simultaneously I got to have one.
And you think that's impressive? Did that on my two year old Linux dual Xeon 700/1mb long ago. Except I was running Quake3 and two seti@homes, since folding@home didn't exist at the time.

I don't think so, but I would be totally wrong. :o
You can use one of my cores. I have 4 after all...but unfortunately this program only uses one...:rolleyes:
iGary if you use InCrease (http://calxalot.homeip.net/InCrease/) there is a option in the preferences to set WU's :)

Which website is this. It may not be true.
Also, the architect would design/build it. He doesn't oversee what computer the architect uses.

Around 9:45 PM eastern during the Will and Grace: Say Goodnight Gracie series finale, Apple aired the Get a Mac ad where the PC crashes and restarts; at the end of the commercial the word "Mac" is displayed on the screen of a white MacBook instead of the iMac used in the commercials previously.

Under the optimized versions I do not see 7447 the processor used in my eMac.
It the 7400 the correct optimized version to use?

Back when I folded 24/7 my iBook 12" survived. It did fine for the months that I folded, and during the Australian summer. The fans kick in a lot, so at night time when I needed sleep, I place the iBook on the low processor option.
As a side not this is why I don't fold anymore (doing 1 WU to help team at) it becomes time consuming, annoying with the fan and etc :(

The 0.7 isn't really a beta. It's a solid release that has had many betas and several release candidates before it. I've been watching the development and can say the developers are doing a great job, and this is a major release for Adium, with many new features, not just further bug fixes.
If it's not 1.0 or higher...It's beta. No matter how many new features it has, if they can't release a set build at 1.0, then SOMETHING is wrong. What are they waiting for? The new iChat in Tiger to blow them out of the water?

How could those PS3 have such high numbers. They only have 3.2 Ghz Cell processor in them. 3.2 is pretty fast, but it is a Cell proc. Did someone forget to divide it through a 1000?!?One Cell processor is more powerful than Deep Blue supercomputer which is 10 years old. These are one powerful processor.
It's all good stuff. I just wonder if it would have been better if Acorn computers carried on developing it when they had control over ARM Ltd. Development got stuck in the water for many years when Acorn closed and IBM took over.

Because the 1.8 will wipe the floor with the 4.4 intel, that's why. Performance, performance, performance :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure that drives are spinned down & their heads parked when a sleep command is issued...
at least that's the case with my BW/350, so i would expect the portables to behave the same.
plus, modern 2.5" hds are amazingly robust. most can handle operational shocks of some 100 to 200 g/ms
i doubt that travelling with sleeping laptops can cause any harm to the drives.
