Don't you think that's kind of naive? Why would they write osx86 then? For the fun of it?

I like Frappacinos (sp?) when it comes to caffine.

Those aren't caffeinated. They're like poser coffee for children, which is really just a fancy milkshake.

Because they needed to switch their hardware platform to the faster x86 platform after PowerPC stalled.

If they really intended to stay a hardware company and continue with this fascist proprietary regime, they'd switch to 64-bit processing. I think they want to reach out to the x86 Windows running processors.

The Mac Pro is 64-bit. They have two dual-core Xeon 5100 Series ("Woodcrest" Core architecture with EM64T instruction set) processors at 2, 2.66 or 3 GHz.

Honestly I don't think Apple make their money on their software. They make their money on their hardware. Their business focus is their hardware. They are a hardware company. They would be foolish to make OS X available to all x86 processors when its one of the primary things selling their Hardware.


Yeah, but I'm saying that they wouldn't have created OSx86 in the first place and had this whole process had they not wanted to at least have the option to reach out.

Why on Earth would Apple not want to reach that part of the market? I think it's size would be significant, being as how most inept to beginner level PC users infected with spyware say "MAYBE I SHOULD BY A MAC". They obviously make enough money on software. Think of all the development that went into all of that stuff. Plus the backend of OSx, and stuff like the unix-esque command line system? I don't see why Apple would not want to be a software company too; I think both factions are comparable and perhaps both demand both of the same manpower.

As for the alleged sexism, I don't see much of a point trying to deny something I already said was a misinterpretation. I shouldn't have to explain myself twice just because you can't seem to be able to read. You are right about one thing though. I shouldn't have suggested a logic course considering it won't help you much until AFTER you manage to learn basic reading skills.

If I made posts like this consistently, I would've been banned more than once. This is a debate forum, not an "avoid the point and unwittingly insult someone you disagree with" forum.

However, your argument is a contradiction. "I know a girl who made a great PC, she's a girl, so it can't be that hard! She made it for less than $700, I'd like to see you do that!"

edit: why don't you respond to me destroying your "it's proprietary!!!" argument?

Please cite an example.

Sorry about that, guys. I read that sentence but only read the bump part, I suppose.

That looks really good, actually. Maybe add a bit more to the legs (like, just a thicker black line),

Users have never been able to do that.

Yes, they have. There was a thread about it back when Erk controlled the hosting.

2600 - excellent magazine (I've had two articles in it. ;D)
Packet Storm Security - proof of concept code.
Milw0rm - proof of concept and an md5 hash database.

Just a few to begin, there's lots more like securityfocus, but everything's linked off of these three sites.

Posted on 08-29-06 02:18 AM, in Are you good at Rubik's Cubes? Link
Maybe I have a horrible misconception, but people who are into rubik's cubes seem to talk way too much about rubik's cubes to people who have no interest in it. One of my friends emailed me and about twenty other people something about this and I replied "you could have MINUTES of fun after you learn this".

He sent us all a nine minute reply about how I was wrong. Whoop de fucking do.

But I enjoy Sudokus, and I'm sure Rubik's Cubes are fun. I'm just biased.

Sudoku seems to just be looking for clues for a generic puzzle. It never loses its challenge, though.

On the topic of sudoku, do you know any easy way to backpeddle if you've filled the board and the result is incorrect? In that case many of the resulting numbers in the grid are based on possibly faulty assumptions and it could take a long time to unravel that chain :/.


Unless you know exactly where you went wrong and all the steps since then, there is no good way to backtrack. Sorry.

Amazon sells really cheap sex toys, too. There was this one "unit" that very few people bought, probably because they didn't think to search on amazon. Amazon automatically dropped the price until it was less than a dollar per "unit". On another forum, people all abused this at one time by getting on the platinum trial for free shipping, then ordering hundreds of these getting shipped free.
