I don't and won't do anything for SETI. If extraterrestrial life existed God would have told us from the beginning. ;) All in all it is a waste of time and a waste of your life for an empty cause.
You are of course entitled to your beliefs, however I would suggest they are best left for the Political/Religious Forums. ;)
Personally, I don't think SETI is the right way to go about things either, but I still respect people who do it - I am open-minded and understanding about people's interests and beliefs, and don't tell them they are "wasting their life for an empty cause" simply because I do not agree with what they are doing or because a Book tells me so - I have a mind of my own. I think it is simply foolish to think that we as humans know everything. We are primitive and naive, and there is much going on in the universe that we can't possibly comprehend with our feeble human minds.
leave god out of scientific reasoning, you cant mix blind faith (and it is blind) with science.
Blind faith, yes, I'd agree with you - just automatically going along with whatever anyone else says without giving it some thought yourself and questioning it is foolhardy - in fact, it's a definition of brainwashing.
But, keep in mind what a great man once said:
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
- Albert Einstein
But in the end, I agree with you - let's not bring religion, etc. into this discussion or it will get wastelanded faster than you can blink an eye. ;)

it makes sense to me, my G3 would be too slow for os x (i use 9).

As most have said, it is kinda fun to play around with. But what is the actual use of it? Sure, you can analyse statistical data from the net, but other than that....not much point to it.

Ubuntu is the way to go! It's Debian based, which means GREAT apt-get support. If you don't know what apt-get is, it's basically a fast, stable, easy way to install packages. It even downloads it for you. From my experience, it's fairly light-weight as well. http://www.ubuntu.com/
DON'T get an ATI card. It doesn't work well with Linux.
Humm, I never knew the did a PPC version that was a live CD.

ddtlm: I didn't know if you downloaded FPTest.java, but basically the only difference there was it was done with 2x precision fp, and doing square roots. BTW: I think I mentioned this in one of my previous post, but for the Mac OS X version, I compiled it with GCC 3.1, then ran both tests on the iBook and PowerBook G4.

Superdrives in laptops...easy.
Getting it to be slot loading and under an inch thick? Give it a couple of years...
Unless the pb form factor changes back to pismo like days, no superdrive this year.

It is wrong? How so? If I burn a track for my wedding video, yes, I'm technically breakeing the law, but there is nothing immoral about doing that. No one is losing out on any money. No one is being hurt. He isn't stealing anything. He's breaking a copyright law that makes no sense in that case.
Oh, for crying out loud. Breaking the law is breaking the law, and breaking the law is wrong. If the law is wrong in your opinion, change the law. That is the only correct approach to dealing with it, except in cases of governmental injustice. This is not one of those cases, as this causes you no personal or meaningful financial harm. Furthermore, if you are using iTunes music, and you are using iMovie/iDVD, you CAN use tracks in your videos. They import in and you can use them freely in your projects. No step in that process is doing something actively against any terms of service or fair use. If you don't want to use something that supports FairPlay DRM for your project, DON'T BUY MUSIC FROM iTUNES TO DO IT. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED BY YOUR AGREEMENT WITH APPLE AND iTUNES TO USE THE MUSIC ANY OTHER WAY.
It's really very simple. If you want to break your active agreement to follow the terms of use, why should the RIAA uphold their agreement not to infringe on fair use rights? You're breaking your agreement, so why shouldn't they? This is why it's wrong.

I MAKE time to research and implement upgrades. No point in my employers keeping me as an employee if I cant do that. If I didnt do that, and was content with how they ran things when I first started working here 2 years ago, we would still be using a G4 450, with Photoshop 5 and Quark 4.1. As it is, I said to hell with this, made them upgrade to OSX, made them buy the Creative Suite, and finally made them buy a DP 2.5ghz G5. Gotta stay current.

General consensus regarding 11/5 is (a) a 19" LCD monitor, (b) a 933MHz or 1GHz PowerBook G4, possibly with a SuperDrive; and (c) a new iApp of some kind.
The 667MHz PBG4 will likely be discontinued. The iApp may wait until MWSF. There may be a price drop on the 15" LCD iMac.
The IBM PPC 970 chip will debut in Macs in fall 2003. It will be a long wait, but we will be putting up with 1GHz G4s until then. Fall 2003 will be the debut of the Opteron (Hammer) 64-bit PCs too.
What do you think this new iApp will do? I'm thinking video conferencing with .Mac intergration. Nov. 5th will probably see the FULL RELEASE of iSync, complimenting the built-in Bluetooth on the NEW POWERBOOKS released alongside it.:D

Even though i would liek apple to keep the current ti design this patent i doubt is much more then 5-6 months old caus ei fu look at teh filing date that means when apple applied for this patent. So it takes quite a while to get a patent to tehy must have jstu got it and i agree with who ever sadi before that the case design was vague adn most likely a genrec drawing.

Well, you don't have to be a computer genius or a Phd to figure this one out. Any bubble boy can understand this math.
1. X-Book is a minimum 2-3.5 times faster. Since it is faster, I don't need a 5 hour battery when I can get the job done in 2 hours. I would rather spend my time to kick back and read a book, listen to music, or spend time with my family.
2. X-Book is $500-$1,500 cheaper depending on configurations.
3. X-Book can burn DVDs.
4. X-Book runs KaZaA, Direct Connect, iMesh, Win MX. PowerBook can't unless you pay $200 to run one of those slow, buggy emulation programs.
PowerBook is better for editing photos, making brochures, magazines, or editing videos, but not much else.
The facts are the facts. You can run or insult all you like, but you can't hide from the truth.

His name is Justin Long (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Long). He was recently in the movie "Waiting..." with Ryan Reynolds. yoda13 is right, the tv show is called Ed. His claim to fame was starring in Dodgeball with Vaughn and Stiller. For me, he represents youth...its what most college student looks like these days.
The pc guy is John Hodgman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hodgman). He looks like Bill Gates, the posture, the glasses, the awful haircut, and the inability to make snappy comebacks. :D
You know where else I remember him? He was the obsessed fan in Space Quest, the spoof on star wars and Star Trek...

For someone with a lot of games you're sure missing the formula for a game.
Do something, get a reward. Do something better, get a bigger reward.
But that is there in Crackdown. Blisfully forget the missions and try and climb the highest most seemingly inaccessable building and you get a reward. The seemingly harder to get - the reward from collecting the orb is vastly greater to an easy to access one.
Discover more hidden ones and the reward is bigger. Crackdown is actually full of these mate and they are in really cleverly located locations.
Trying to find the hidden ones leaves you with such a massive exploration quest. I''ve spent most of my time in the game just hunting down the agility orbs. :)
GTA - I enjoy for about an hour messing about - but stories of drug gangs, shooting cops and beating up prostitutes never really captivates me as a story......

Says RS/6000.
yeah, but so what?
afaik rs/6000 was a server line at ibm which was rebranded the pSeries some two years ago...but they did/do use ppc processors of various flavors.
what i see from this message is that this patch enables altivec support on the powerpc64 target of the linux64 build of gcc, so if you happen to have a 64-bit powerpc with altivec, try to compile it on your box.
anyway, this might be completly wrong, just trying to show my pov.

So, I just downloaded Firefox ... it looks and acts the same, and I still have that pesky little white window in Expose!
Is there a special link to get RC2, or is the giant "DOWNLOAD FIREFOX" thing RC2? Just wondering, since I'm not noticing a difference and the "About" window doesn't mention if this is RC1 or RC2.
