I personally do a lot of rendering...Vector based specifically, and billing clients is an issue when it comes to architectural work.
A lot of clients view an architect as being overpaid anyways, so when they see a 100 hour bill they can get a little uneasy.
I pride myself on being able to produce the "best" & most completed set of drawings available, at the absolutely quickest time (ie, I draft like a bat out of hell, and do it accurately, though my spelling is atrocious)
often I find I must boot into 9 just to produce...however, for mid level drawing 10 is "ok" on a 450 G4, its all about simulation I'm sure (using classic)
once engsw.com releases Powercadd OSX native, I will be all over that...that should change my booting habits. Though I know a faster machine would make a world of a difference as well.

That sounds pretty good. I want the G5 ASAP, but I wouldn't mind if they unveiled it at MWNY, since I'm going to be able to attend it for the very first time! Yes!

It seems like we get a new user, they go on a posting rampage for about 6 months and get to the 2000 post count. Then they disappear, never to be seen again. Sometimes it really frustrates me, they're doing it for the post count. I'm at around 600 and it took years to get to this point. I post when I have something that I want to say, hopefully useful. If I never hit 2000, it won't make a difference to me, or probably to anybody else on the forum.
If I put in 10 good, resourceful comments total, that will have a much better impact.

I wish there were more people like you. (When I found out about the 500-post mark for a 'tar, I was shocked and just succumbed to the idea of never having one. Just for kicks, I checked my post count the other day and found I had just crossed the 1000-post mark.) There sure are a lot of posts that are:

Cool!!!

I would also like to see Apple put a G5 from Motorola in the eMacs as well. The reason why the eMacs are so much cheaper than the iMacs right now is because they have CRT displays, and boasts slightly slower system bus and slightly slower memory.
The eMacs should have the same G5 processors as in the iMacs and run at the same speeds but have slightly slower system bus and slightly slower memory just like they are today.
That's my $0.02 on future eMacs. ;)

I hope it becomes the new google first page. Its much nicer to look at with the resizing pics instead of the text.
nah the great thing about Google at the moment is that it's the lightest page on the internet. It's nice to be there if you choose to use it, but for now keep Google as it is.

I think that we can expect new powermacs in Jan, because it sounded like it at MW Paris, and the new powermacs are a letdown, and apple doesnt like to let down its customers.

No no, I don't think people get it.
If they put DRM on the track before you buy it, then everyone who buys that song will have the same song with the same DRM, which means that any computer can play it, as everyone has the same iTunes and a track with the same DRM.
Adding specific DRM on the fly isn't what Apple has to do, either. Your iTunes still has to know that it IS the computer that you can play a particular track from, and not just any computer.
No that is not true. If you had read my previous post to this post, you would have seen where i said that your copy of itms would have to send a key to the itms server. Each computer would send a unique key so the song cannot play on any other computer other than the one that sent the key. This is not technically challenging, not like building a rocket ship or anything. I could do it.

They need to include Access with the next Mac Office. Even if it requires more work on their part. (They seem spend way to much time with minor changes to MSN Messager). Also merge the features of Entourage and Outlook and call it the same for both platforms. I have mixed feelings about VBA because it seems to be more of a virus writing and distribution tool than something to help me. I love the language and I have done some cool stuff that saved me time.

Not even a quality trolling, this troll is a little too thinly spread to even be called a real troll.
This troll came in with a bang at around 9 and had good chance of spreading terror, but when confronted quickly spammed his vomit throughout multiple discussion areas lowering the score.
And sadly when in defense of his rumor, uses Crazy Apple Rumors as a source which quickly tanked the final score.

BetaNews.com reports:
The cat and mouse game has begun. Just one day after Apple closed a hole that allowed a third-party program to access its iTunes Music Store and download content without digital rights management protection, programmer Jon Johansen re-opened the back door with a new version of the software.
Johansen, known for releasing the code to break DVD copy protection, wrote in his Web log that he once again broke Apple's latest encryption. Johansen developed the program, called PyMusique, with the help of two fellow hackers.
"The iTunes Music Store recently stopped supporting iTunes versions below 4.7 in an attempt to shut out 3rd party clients. I have reverse engineered the iTMS 4.7 crypto which will once again enable 3rd party clients to communicate with the iTMS," Johansen said.
PyMusique replicates the capabilities of Apple's iTunes application, and its users must still pay for the music they download. But because iTunes adds DRM protection to songs only after they have been downloaded, Johansen simply left that piece out of his program.
This means that iTunes music downloaded with PyMusique can be freely shared and transferred to portable devices other than Apple's iPod.
As iTunes 4.7 is the latest release available, it's not clear how Apple will respond to Johansen's latest move. The company may be forced to change its software once again and require all customers to upgrade.
PyMusique's programmers claim the software is designed to give Linux users access to the iTunes Music Store. Seemingly to reaffirm this position, a Windows version of PyMusique that bypasses Apple's block will not be released.
iTunes 5 Here We Come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How does this guy do it over and over??
And now iTunes Music Store works on Linux through this app...

Right, just checked with the Apple site, and its time I get a cup of coffee here on this sunday morning. I thought Apple had released a 4 processor with each a dual core powermac.... I'm gonna get a cup of coffee now.

Using FF on my Windows machine, perfect. On thing that I like in FF that Safari doesn't have are extensions, etc... (maybe Safari has it and I missed it). Also bookmarking in Safari isn't all that nice
I don't belive it does, at least not yet

A bunch of ********* kids I'm guessing. "Oh, lets steal the $400 Xbox instead of the $1500 TV or the laptop." What is this world coming to??
Back when I was about 8, we were jacked. However it was our house and the house next to us. We lost all of our console GAMES, the system still there. The other house lost their console SYSTEM, the games still there. Its nice to know that the world has not changed 10 years later.

Keep in mind Intel is planning to replace the PIVs in the upper end of the mobile line with a chip that will only clock in the mid-1GHz range at launch. Furthermore the high speeds of the PIV-M chip can't be sustained as well as the G4 could sustain its 1GHz.
As far as mobile computing goes I would take an embedded chip like the G4 any day of the week.

Hey everyone, just thought I would share a website that I originally happened upon, when someone discussed Cocktail. Rixstep did a review of the program and gave it a real beatdown for what it properly deserved, along with other programs such as MacJanitor.
www.rixstep.com
However, I think within the last few months or so, Rixstep has gone from a website that reccomends alternative operating systems and cheerleading Mac OS X, Rixstep has totally gone in the opposite direction and goes out of it's way to completely beat the hell out of Apple in it's articles. I mean, they give Apple no mercy whatsoever.
Rightfully, they gave Steve Ballmer a hell of a beatdown in a faux-interview about Windows Vista's upcoming release, delays in the release, and the rush to gold while hacking and slashing features.
I readily agree with them on many points but it just seems that within the last few articles they're not even bothering to give a viable alternative. They're just beating the **** out of anyone who makes an operating system or a computer product (they absolutely love beating Apple over the head with their Intel Switch, and it's like they find delight in everything that goes wrong)
I think at one article they basically said the only alternative today is Ubuntu Linux. Now, don't get me wrong. I think Linux is a great operating system, and Ubuntu is what i've used to learn my way around Linux. It's a very nice system but it still is not ready for primetime just yet. I have yet to have a seamless upgrade from a Breezy Badger to Dapper Drake distro, which makes or breaks a OS in a office environment.
I'm just really upset that a website that I read seemed to have some very good pieces of writing, and some very good points of view, suddenly just starts beating Apple over the head for everything they do, without really giving me a viable alternative to consider. It's like Apple was their girlfriend that decided to break up with them, and now they're mad as a bull and trying to make life miserable for them.
Thoughts?
