Damn Maggie. How did you find that one? I'm still snickering over it.

It reminded me that I have a few computer .JPGs stored away. I'll share one here, the rest I may post in the appropriate thread and BAH to the person who didn't post the link to Flem Comics leaving me to find it myself.

I guess I'll have to check it out from home.

Then, you won't be seeing this either.

Actually, I did get that one. I saw the movie a while back (of course it wasn't as good as the first), and always have wondered why the girl's parents walked into Jim's room looking for her? Or, if it was her room, why was Jim's dad looking for Jim in there? I must've missed a line or something.

nah, you didnt miss anything. you liked the first better? i think i liked the second better. stifler was funny as all hell.

I thought the sexuality of the 2nd was better (c'mon, good-looking lesbos? hell yea!!), but the jokes were "old and busted." The dude pissing on Stifler was a good example. How could you not know that you're getting sprayed down with urine? On the other hand, I doubt anyone would notice if they drank a beer with a little spooge in it ... especially if it were one of those mass-produced things from Adolf Miller-Weiser or whatever. (Not that it's ever happened to me, it just seems more tangible.)

"how'd you get it so warm?"

god i laughed so hard at that line. i think the entire movie is better after a few beers, but i liked it quite a bit.

More tangible is when you get it all over your hands ... not that it's ever happened to me.

Good one, Nic.

Apple gives break to multi-Mac homes
 

Under the plan, which will coincide with next week's release of Mac OS X version 10.2 (also known as Jaguar), consumers can buy a $199 a copy of the operating system and install it on up to five Macs in a single household.

damn good to see. Apple do have thier heads screwed on straight. My Ipod (20G) is in the mail and when i need a laptop i know what ill be getting.
?! How?!

Virtual PC.

any idea how well it runs?

Slow but sure.

One step closer to a G4 laptop ;)....gotta keep saving......

My computer loan is up again in June; I'm probably going to skip the new PowerMacs (my dual 800 is still hella fast, and Jaguar will only make it more so) and get a top-of-the-line PowerBook. They are quite the laptop.

Anyway, most important stuff runs OS X native (Photoshop, etc), and you can find replacements for most everything else. I imagine you'll be happy with it.

If you have any questions, let me know. I have a pretty thorough knowledge of the PowerBook and MacOS X, and anything I don't know I can ask an Apple Genius at the Apple Store.

Re: Apple gives break to multi-Mac homes
 

Gee, that's nice of Apple.

I wonder if there actually ARE any honest-to-a-fault people who were going to buy multiple copies for their multiple home computers in the first place. (Certainly not me. But under the developer program, I can legally install on as many machines as I use for development and testing anyway, which is all of them)

As I've stated before, fuck Apple on this one. I just ordered my education copy of MacOS X 10.2 and it's going to get installed on all 3 of my (purchased in the last 14 months) Macs. And probably Jenni's old iMac DV once I get a new hard drive in it. I didn't spend $8,000 on computers + countless more on software and accessories to get fucked on the operating system.

Mmm k thanks. Only question that comes to mind is how well does linux go on the powerbooks? Other one would be linux apps under OSX, sure you've got console but how useful is it? Anyone got things like WINE working yet? Most of the dev stuff i've seen recently for mac (i've been looking around at ipod apps) has been cocca level stuff.

Linux should work fine. I don't have a PowerBook to test it on, but I have YellowDog 2.2 loaded on my iBook and it's great. All the special keys (volume up/down/mute, brightness, etc) work fine, as does the Airport card, etc. YellowDog is based on RedHat, so the structure should be pretty familiar to most anyone.

As for Linux apps running natively on OS X, you probably want to check out fink @ http://fink.sourceforge.net - it's a project dedicated to porting UNIX applications to MacOS X. I've got a screenshot around here somewhere of xchat (Linux app) running under Sawfish (Linux Window Manager) under a rootless X display (X as in X11), sitting beside MacOS X native Cocoa apps. It's pretty slick, and more stuff is being added all the time (I myself am working on a few ports).

I don't know about WINE specifically, though I would guess that it hasn't been ported. You can check for that yourself - I really have no use for it, so I'm not very interested. However, I think you'll find that you can very easily make do with a PowerBook. Just wait until the new revisions come out - they should be pretty tight, and definitely a better value than what you'd get if you bought now.

I would think porting WINE would be a big problem on a non Intel-arch system. The acronym WINE stands for WINE Is Not an Emulator; only the Win32 calls are emulated, the x86 instructions are executed natively.

Good point maggie. I was primarily interested as a fast way to use allot of apps I won't be able to get hold of mac versions of for a while yet, and some for which mac equivalent of the same caliber do not exist at all. Ah well ill look atound and see what i can dig up, i'm still pretty set on the G4 laptops.

What kind of sick bastard are you? iBook, G4 Ti, Airport base station, iPod along with the rest of you booty, but then you flaunt X.2 to the jaguireless. That my friend is evil.

All the switch parodies are hilarious cept the prOn freak.

I keep lookin' for the dham switch parody. Has anyone got one?

http://metastudios.com/images/temp-setup.jpg

Yes, that's a 21" flat CRT on the left. :P

The TiBook isn't mine, but the PowerMac is. :)

There's something wrong about seeing all that technology, including an Aeron chair, in a place with electric baseboard heat.

What am I saying, no there isn't!

Technology belongs everwhere!
