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.

Hey, I had a dream that the Mac Pro's were released, and they had a Radeon 9600 video card!!!!! I woke up screaming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: :eek:
That doesn't sound like a dream, it sounds like a nightmare! ;) :D

It's also funny how JB and KG always do movies together...

True that macs are overpriced but you do gain the operating system which kicks micrsoft xp sh*tless. They don't have the apps and other wounderful features.
As for performance we have lost in most catorgies due to, maybe companyies not writing code for the G4 altevic (sp?).
For many reasons Pc's have taken the lead in market share for a while now.
They have many choices, dell, gateway, and tons of other brands along with the possibality of Makeing Your Own.
Apple has: Apple for the OS
Apple for many of the Apps.
IBM/Motorola for the low clock speed processors.
Compared to the PC side:
Microsoft for the OS (mostly, linux users)
Microsoft and Many other fo apps.
Intel or AMD for nice processors...
We have the dis-advantage, for many of these factors...
Still many of us fight on for the better computer, and to fight off the world of monopoliyes.

Sparky, I have my G5 on a time switch to reduce power consumption. It only folds when it's on (obviously), so that's about 6-7 hours a day. So, now is your chance to come close to me! Overtaking me is a whole different story!! :D Also, does increase come in a dual proc setup and does it/folding start automatically at startup?
How much faster the console version is Vs. the GUI client is hard to say. It really depends on how fast your Mac is. If you have an older Mac (say G3) then it's a significant difference. You have a bit of overhead on your proc of the images, which aren't completely for the Graphics card. Your proc also has to process it, giving a bit of overhead. My G3 400 Mhz B&W had a lot of this overhead with the GUI client. Increase will also give a bit, but less, overhead.

I'm trying to choose between a new stock-configured Dual GHz from Apple and a 3-month-old QS which includes a 3-yr. AppleCare plan (minus 3 mos.), a gig of ram, a SuperDrive, and an external 40-gig Maxtor FW drive--each one for the approximate same price ($2350). In other words, at the educator's price, I can get the new one at about the same price as the used one w/extras. On the other hand, the used one's AppleCare will not cover the 17" Apple LCD Display I'll be buying later w/out a rebate; whereas, Apple's currently offering a $200 rebate when customers buy the cpu and display together.
Because benchtests reveal little difference in performance between these two models, and some posters have even complained about noise problems and little gain in overall speed in the current line, I'm wondering which will offer the best bang for the buck. I'll eventually be using FCP3 burning DVDs on whatever I get, but I'm unsure of the difference between them. I've seen that everymac.com lists the street value of the QS Feb 2002 dual GHz as worth a few hundred more than the current stock-configured dual GHz, and that these were going fast in August when smalldog and others had a few still in stock. Moreover, the used one also offers the extra warranty.
As an educator, am I better off w/one of the new ones and buying an Apple monitor at the same time, or going w/the "older" model and buying a monitor later w/out the AppleCare plan or rebate?
I could really use some input, especially since there's few reviews available on the new models, and I'm unsure how big of a difference there is between the 167MHz bus speed and the older 133, or the type of RAM each uses. The extra expansion bays are not really necessary in my work, either.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rick

When you are folding with a DP computer.....is it possible to assign only one of the CPU's to fold so that you have one for all the other thing or :confused:

This whole thing seems like MS is doing a big "me too" action. The PS3 comes out with HDMI and a larger HD, so MS says "oh me too i have that too" and comes out with this elite box.
This happens a lot in the marketplace it seems.

I think they did it because they thought they had to remain "competitive", when IMO at least, they already were competitive. I don't see why the consoles have to both have the same stuff in order to be competitive (like they must believe). 360 didn't come with HDMI, a larger HD, or a HD movie player, but it was $100-$200 cheaper depending on model. Ps3 comes with more, but is more expensive. Either you want the added bonuses at a higher cost, or you spend less and get (slightly) less.
I think this was a bad idea, at least at this price point. Surely adding HDMI and a larger HD didn't cost them $80 additional dollars over the white Premium, so they're clearly price gouging per GB and for painting the case black. IMO that's outrageous, but as I've said before - console manufacturers always charge an arm and a leg for peripherals, so overcharging for a beefed up hard drive and an extra a/v port is something I expect. I just think it was the wrong thing to do. If they wanted to add this stuff to remain competitive, they should've left the price alone and said "hey, lookie here...now we've got the same stuff as them (almost) and we're still cheaper" and fence sitters really would've had to question their decision. As it is (rumored) now, you save $20 over a 20gig Ps3, and again...I hate to say it, but if I was in the predicament of picking one or the other - I'd take the Ps3 for $20 more and get the HD movie bonus.

Apple's modest upgrade strategy and the uncertainty of whether a G4 is even worth it to shell out big dough for pending next year's almost certain release of the G5/whatev., I think for my purposes (audio), rather than buying the fastest CPU to do more native processing, I'm going to spend that money on a used set of Protools Mix+ cards and an i/o box and get the emagic TDM bridge software and forget I was ever even concerned with the "bleeding edge"...
Personally, I don't care whether Apple is "falling behind" or whatever; I don't work for the company, I don't own their shares, it doesn't matter. I like their products and I believe there is a big enough base of users and developers offering unique advantages on the Mac platform that it won't go bye-bye anytime soon (not to mention the company's excellent corporate management - who is also responsible for their modest upgrade strategy, at least in part, no doubt). If people stop buying their stuff, they'll be forced to go to the well of ideas and pull out another miracle. Maybe it'll even be in a cool then-retro color like bondi blue!
:D
I donno... I personally do gobs of audio work, and I must say a dual 867 system is a great value and can do a heck of a lot of natice processing. I personally love native processing, since I work primarily with Reaktor, Cubase, and Reason. :-)
If you have the money, I'd look into a dual 867 before I went protools, but that's just my opinion. It all depends what you're doing basically.

Research scientists should think twice before using a Mac for research--since the G4 blows so much. That's where it matters. It's faster for them to use PCs than Macs. Gee, by 100 seconds. Think about it... a lot of scientific formulas are a lot more complex than our simplistic benchmark programs--100 minutes is sure much longer than 5 minutes.
too many of those programs are only on pcs
one research scientist my wife works with started coding in dos on the mac compiler and if he succeeded in getting into the server, which would not happen anyway, he would have caused major damage
this phd had no idea that the g4 and the mac os was not dos...he was sure everything was dos like his windows 98 box he and all the other research scientists use
the sas program they have only works on 95 and 98:p

lol :D , I've always felt that the ugly one was KDE :eek: But then again, all Linux desktops are butt-ugly (without proper themeing, that is). I think Linux distros should ban programmers from all UI design tasks, they should recruit proper designers instead...

I just signed up for Gamefly and I'm not happy already. I signed up Thurs. and it's Sat. afternoon and only 1 game has shipped. Gamefly's site says 24 hours to ship, there is no reason for them to take 2 days to ship something out. Add that to the fact it's gonna take another 4-6 days to arrive from the west coast. So with the return trip, that's 2 weeks out of the month the game is in transit, no thanks. I'm going to cancel after this month.
Gplay has the best rates. Where do they ship from?
