Microsoft has announced that it has halted development on a universal version of VirtualPC.
VirtualPC has long-been the king of the hill for Virtualization on Macintosh. With the Intel transition, however, came competitive pressure from Parallels (http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/), which has since released the final version of its product, and VMWare which is showcasing a beta (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2006/08/20060805151513.shtml) of its solution at WWDC.
Microsoft has claimed that to port VirtualPC to Intel would be much like making VirtualPC 1.0 all over again.
Digg This (http://digg.com/apple/Microsoft_Officially_Kills_Virtual_PC)
As a Powerbook G4 User, VPC was all of unusable, really slow. I know that it has (had ?) to emulate an entire Hardware platform, but knowing how much bloatware M$ produce, I am sure it could have been a hell of a lot faster if it was coded better. I know that M$ purchased this software from Connectix, but successive versions gained features and lost speed !

I am more of a design guy at heart but have been helping my company do some web over-hauling of our sites. We have been using simply Photoshop-made buttons for our links.
Question: Can someone check out this site (http://komotion.com/examples/elements/buttons-and-links/). I am wondering if the buttons on the top leading off the page are made strictly using CSS/HTML, or if there is a photoshop template behind it.
From what I can gather on a few other CSS Button tutorials there may be a blank photoshop template behind it and the CSS can stretch it and add the text? Am I way off base?
Thanks for helping me handle my code ignorance :(
EDIT: Forgot about the mouseover glow... Is this done strictly through CSS or do you need an "after" state image?

this isn't too difficult to do, there are many ways of doing it.
The way i would do it is with airport expresses and small hi-fi/speaker systems. If you put an airport express into each room they are all capable of receiving a steam from the imac. You then plug the airport express into a hi-fi which will give you control over the volume in each room.
In the waiting room you would also have the same setup and also plug the tv audio output into the hi-fi, then someone can choose the tv or the airport express as the source.
Airports only technically stream from itunes but you can buy a cheep app called airfoil which will stream music from any program i.e pandora.

Yep, I'm with you on that. It already bugs me that my Prius has a black box for accidents and a GPS built in (for the nav system.) Why do we *trust* this government to not ask companies to turn that information over (just like they asked for our phone records) and for these corporations getting billions in tax incentives to eagerly comply? Now if you carry a GPS, government will be able to know where you are at any moment. I'm not buying it unless Apple includes a pledge with the product that they will fight to protect my legal rights if any government agency asks for these records without probable cause.
Most (if not all) new cell phones in America have built in GPS as a result of an FCC mandate for Enhanced 9-1-1 capability in mobile devices. Apple may simply be taking this required expense and turning it into a way to get more value in their device by linking it with a built in camera/iPhoto/GoogleMaps. This certainly seems like one of those "why didn't anyone else do that?" sort of (in retrospect) obvious moves that Apple is great at.
But the fact remains, most new cell phones in the U.S. at least already have GPS built in so the location of the phone can be tracked by emergency responders. It's hardly something new being developed by Apple that will make the iPhone any more subject to governmental data-mining abuse than any other mobile phone.

My Ti laptop is driving me crazy. I've got the Finder prefs set to open all windows in column view and yet, every fourth or fifth time I double click on the drive icon on the desktop, the window opens up in icon view. I switch it back to column view and it's fine for a while and then, poof!, it's back in icon view when I double-click the drive icon again.
I use Macaroni to regularly repair permissions and I've experienced no other strangeness, just this.
Any idea what's going on? :confused:

It's not that I have an innate fear of soldering :) the task indeed sounds fairly straightforward and from a rational perspective very little can go wrong but there is just something about connecting 2x $500 SSD's with a cable that underwent some DIY soldering that does not sit too well with me and I can't really test it with a cheapo PC first too as that does not have any backplane cables that have male SATA DATA/POWER header.
It's a better connection than using crimp connectors, and is how your expensive electronics are manufactured (all the components are soldered to the PCB). ;)
Soldering wire isn't as common as crimp connectors due to costs (more labor intensive to solder, as well as more expensive materials and equipment is used).
I believe I will instead purchase the kind of cable you posted a link to and stay away from soldering or using nuts and crimp connectors. It probably won't turn out much more expensive either as I won't be needing that SATA Y splitter, but a regular widely available 2xSATA power that connects to molex will do with a cable like in link.
Either way will work, so it's up to you (soldered version isn't quite as messy IMO).
Also have found this one, but it's 1m long! No info on how long the one in your link is too.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1m-Hard-Disk-SFF-8482-SAS-Cable-29P-1-SATA-7P-Cable-/130468432498?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e60864a72#ht_645wt_901
The one I linked was 0.5 meters. You cannot go over 1.0 meters in total cable length with SATA drives, so please keep that in mind (the signal voltage is weak, and anything longer causes stability problems).
And this one, but it has 2x SAS connectors on the main female header so I doubt it will be compatible with the backplane connection cable on the Mac Pro.

Skip this one.

Hmmm.. I'm not a highly technical guy - not familiar at all with Terminal, don't really have an idea of what terms like bash, cron, tcsh are. I think this script is too complicated for the likes of me :) I went through it, but I have no idea of F@H is running, and it quit with an error.
It seems like mc68k's documentation is meant for those who are already familiar with folding & terminal, I was kind of hoping for a script that didn't demand technical knowledge.

Nice design, I really love the look of it.
Like suggested before, I would definately put some kind of branding on the font page, because then anyone who visits the site shoud remember the name, whereas at the moment, they could visit the webpage from a link, click on a download button on the homepage, and have no idea who the company is.
Also it was a bit confusing the first time when I clicked on 'More Info' for 'Auto Delete' as I thought it just took me back to the home page, and then realised a few minuted later I had to scroll down to see it. I don't know what you could do to improve this, I just thought it would be something that could be thought about and maybe changed??
Hope this helps (a bit)

So I take it you mean something like in the bottom diagram:
Not too keen on the whole soldering part, do you think there
would be 22-pin male to female extension cables where the female part is split up/separate i.e: 1x Power (Molex if available), 1x SATA DATA cable, in this event I would just connect one 2xSATA power to molex cable on it and no need for soldering. Something like in this link here (http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/246707108/sata_cable.html), but the power having only two wires looks odd?
As per the diagram, it's correct (hard to follow the wire colors as the bend around, but it looks right in terms of location as well as color). :)
What you're asking about (backplane cable that splits into two separate connectors with 4 wires for power) do exist (here (http://www.pc-pitstop.com/sas_cables_adapters/I2917-05M.asp)). It's not as clean IMO, but functional, and at least from this link, is more expensive (would have expected it to be cheaper, as they're used more often in PC's). If you look, I suspect you'll be able to locate it cheaper (just make sure you've more than 2 wires on the power connector - only get it if it has 4 power wires).
As per soldering, it's not hard, particularly soldering 2 wires together (buying a stick soldering iron, heat shrink tubing and solder won't be that expensive; should be able to manage it for under $20USD <example (http://www.amazon.com/Weller-SP23LK-Marksman-Watt-Soldering/dp/B0009ZD2AG)>, and it's handy for other projects). You can get a pack of heatshrink tubing from Walmart for under $5USD, and stay around the $20USD mark (as I assume you don't have any of the equipment or supplies to do it based on your aversion to soldering).

Ok I did something stupid.
I downloaded the trial of appzapper thinking that I'd actually try to keep my new macbook pro clean and get rid of the "hidden" files associated with other applications. So I downloaded the trial of photoshop cs5 and then zapped it after the trial period was up, and appzapper deleted a bunch of other files associated with adobe. Great, I guess that's what I told it to do.
Now, when I try to open pdfs in Safari (to just view in the browser, and not download them), a dialog box opens asking me where adobe reader is because safari can't read the pdf. I can only download the pdf.
I looked a little on adobe's website and google, but the adobe website wasn't much help and I could only find an apple memo on how to fix it if you're using windows. :(
So I'm turning to my friends in this forum... What can I do to make it better?
Thanks in advance.

That line looks to be outside the view volume.
The default view volume is a cube with sides of 2 with the camera at the center pointing towards the negative z direction. The default projection is ortho.
Unless if you changed the defaults, 180,15,0 and 10,45,0 are completely outside of the view volume.
Try something inside, for example:
glBegin(GL_LINES);
glVertex3f( 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f);
glEnd();
You should also put in the translation by -6 if you are using a perspective camera.

Pretty sure height=any % is not valid. Probably why its not working and I assume you mean IE for mac. I wouldn't worry about that browser anymore. So the answer is either A don't use it cause its not valid, or screw IE viewers for MAC, which aren't many.
