<0> poxy ->> http://windowsxp.onmac.net/The%20Contest.html
<1> he's the CTO ?
<2> FKnight`: yes
<1> what's the CEO's phone number?
<0> lol
<2> all he does is play WoW all day and say that "i'll fix that" and then tell me to fix it
<2> and then bitches at me for coming in at 915 instead of 9
<1> oh dude
<1> been there
<2> and wonders why i always give him attitude
<3> no, call the CFO and tell him how much it will cost.
<1> I got the ballcap
<0> what server does he play on
<0> heh
<4> Heh.
<2> and now im supposed to be coming in at 8 -- that's not happening
<5> i may enjoy a road trip in my new car, but no ****ing way am i going to new jersey.
<4> Gimpy'll grief him for you.
<1> why exactly does he want to get MACS?
<0> i don't play anymore actually
<2> if i gave you his cell, he'd question me about calls he'd get and im not a good liar
<1> cause they're CHEAPER?
<2> FKnight`: he's a mac freak
<0> but
<0> poxy, check my link
<1> he's a mac freak
<1> but wants to run WINDOWS on 'em
<0> and email it to him
<4> FKnight`: He probably thinks the hardware is higher quality.
<0> just the link, nothing else in the email
<1> fdiv_bug hahaha
<3> poxy - how will he run WoW on his mac?!!?
<2> FKnight`: to transition the users and stuff
<5> he's a jack***.
<4> Which when compared to something like eMachines, yeah it is.
<2> wow works on macs
<4> But Dell and the like make perfectly good PCs.
<1> poxy transition them to what ?
<6> windows on a mac to run virtual pc to run macos
<1> windows on a white computer?
<6> sounds efficent
<2> FKnight`: mac os
<4> tonsofpcs: WoW is native Mac OS X.
<6> efficient
<4> Has been since its inception.
<1> running WINDOWS on a MAC transitions users to Mac OS ?
<3> pizza_biz - it'll be broken in by the time it gets here ;)
<2> nerp: he thinks winxp can run natively on those macs
<4> Blizzard is a heavily cross-platform game shop.
<1> what a ****ing idiot
<0> poxy, wow won't run on an intel mac :P
<6> haha
<1> that CTO is a putz
<2> Gimp-Work: oic
<3> fdiv_bug - shhh he doesn't need to know that ;) [and not on intel x]
<2> FKnight`: yes, he is
<0> except emulated
<4> Gimp-Work: You're certain that it doesn't run with Rosetta?
<4> Even if "run" is more like "crawl?"
<0> i'm sure it will run
<3> I'm gonna run a CISC to emulate a RISC!
<0> i was refering to "playable"
<4> k
<0> rr
<4> Some games flat out won't run at all.
<0> *shrug*
<4> Since they've got very heavily native PPC ****.
<3> yay for RISC!
<0> regardless, you can't run windows directly on them
<1> People are acting all stupid about Apple ever since they changed procuessors. People don't get THAT'S ALL THEY DID. They changed a part of the computer which, when it comes right down to it, the average consumer doesn't care about. I consider the whole chip change a non issue. a Mac is still a ****ing Mac.
<0> which makes the entire discussion void :P
<4> FKnight`: I agree.
<4> CPUs weren't what made Macs different at the end of the day.
<1> yeah
<6> nope
<0> oh and, even if you COULD get windows to boto
<6> no difference really
<0> boot*
<3> FKnight` - yea, but I care about it and it was stupid. The RISC is so much better.
<0> where would you get drivers
<2> apparently he's keeping a journal of all the times that i dont act respectful of him...which was caused by his own actions in the first place
<7> FKnight`; except it invalidates all programs. what if Microsoft switched MS Windows from x86 to PPC... then NONE of your existing software would work except by crappy emulation...
<3> poxy - keep an equivilant journal
<2> peerce: vmware does it very well
<6> equivalent
<4> tonsofpcs: I really like PPC a lot, and I tend to agree with that, but Apple doesn't much care about what the hardware geeks want.
<0> peerce, you mean like Itanium? :P
<7> vmware doesn't emulate instruction sets.
<6> i'm practicing my spelling.
<7> Gimp-Cow; exactly. look how successful Itanium was
<2> tonsofpcs: no need to, i have a new job ready, just some things need to be worked out before i can move and whatever. if i need to, i can get a 1 mo's pay advance
<7> actually, itanium has hardware emulation, but its not very effective.
<2> peerce: oops, you're right
<1> peerce: most of the software for PPC Mac OS X runs on Intel Macs. The "Rosetta" layer is something else the average consumer doesn't care about.
<1> They just want their apps to run
<0> peerce, no longer
<0> they took it out
<1> at the end of the day, it's the same computer
<3> fdiv_bug - it's sad when a RISC from the 1980s can still do some tasks faster than a brand new CISC.
<4> peerce: The emulation is usable for most people. Furthermore, getting the apps to run natively for the majority of applications already using Xcode for development consists of checking a box and re-building the project.
<7> Gimp-Cow; as of when? i2 still has it.
<0> new i2s
<7> case in point, Lannister with his funky win98 app he's trying to hack for XP
<7> because his boss won't spend $3000 to upgrade the app licenses
<0> http://news.com.com/Intel+scraps+once-crucial+Itanium+feature/2100-1006_3-6028817.html
<3> an app that runs on Windows but not on WindowsNT?! What a concept!
<0> peerce ^^^
<4> FKnight`: I guess peerce isn't going to respond to us since we refuted his bigotry with logic and fact.
<4> :)
<1> hahahh
<1> ****in' John C. Dvorak thinks Apple is going to dump OS X for Windows!!!!
<1> HAHAHAHAHHA
<1> you know why ?
<1> his reasons
<1> "Cause the iPod doesn't have firewire"
<3> because he's John C. Dvorak.
<4> John C. Dvorak thinks his toaster is magic because he's not sure where the bread goes.
<0> he talked to a professor of physcologoy :P
<8> He's a genius
<0> damn i can't spell at all today
<4> "I put bread in, and out comes toast? Where'd the bread go?"
<1> Dvorak is an idiot
<0> anyone in here actually use his layout?
<7> ah, the NEXT itanium drops it, ok.
<3> fdiv_bug - no, he thinks the toaster is magic because he saw a children's video
<1> I'm switching to Mac at home
<1> slowly
<4> Gimp-Work: Uh. Different Dvorak.
<1> slowly because of the price :D
<7> our itanium evaluation never got off of paper :D
<0> fdiv_bug, it was still funny
<0> damnit
<4> Gimp-Work: I disagree, but I'm an ***.
<4> :)
<0> werd
<3> I got my first Macintosh in November. Powerbook 170. I like it :D
<4> FKnight`: Did you see `bout Logic, the other day?
<0> i am probably spending the night in the hospital
<3> but I can't find a way to get it online :(
<7> yes, dvorak is an idiot. always has been. he and jerry pournelle are both raving idiots.
<3> and I don't want to buy a weird null-modem cable
<4> tonsofpcs: Good luck with that.
<8> Dvorak's stupid keyboard!
<4> Does that PowerBook even run Mac OS 8.6?
<4> I believe 8.6 was the first to really function reasonably well on the Internet.
<3> No, I don't think it will even run System 7
<3> I got a webbrowser on it, I just need to hook it to the network somehow
<8> Go make me a hypercard presentation
