Intel would mean much more mac software, same speed as the competition, better OS, better systems in general, etc.
So... what's SO bad about intel? If IBM is faster, go IBM. But Intel would be great too!
Actually, you WOULDN'T have OS X OR the pretty machines: The pretty machines are reliant on a much lower-heat chip than Pentium and re-doing OS X, regardless of x-Darwin would be a giant pain in the ass. It would be vastly easier to go with the IBM PPC 970 and/or Moto PPC 7457 that rewrite and retool everything from the ground up.
Intel would NOT mean more software as OS X isn't Windoze, which is way more pivotal to the software issue than which processor.
You're basically saying that if Pigs could fly we could all have fried pork wings and wouldn't that just be peachy.:rolleyes: Because of course, not being a genetic scientist it would make all that cooking stuff so much easier. If this was a face to face I'd slap you. :p

For VIDEO on PSP you do not need anything special......
Except a video and a video transcoder(if the source video is not compatible with PSP's supported codecs).
PSP Media Manager (http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/products/product.asp?pid=423) - Official Sony Software, Windows
iPSP (http://ipsp.kaisakura.com/) - MAC
PSPWare (http://www.nullriver.com/index/products/pspware) - MAC
PSPVC (http://pspvc.sourceforge.net/) - Linux (ffmpeg)
PSPVideo9 (http://www.pspvideo9.com/) -Windows
ImToo (http://www.imtoo.com/psp-video-converter.html) - Windows
Most of these you can get for free. The Official software is like $20, and there are videos on how to convert files to make them PSP compatible. Just visit THIS (http://www.sonymediasoftware.com/support/trainingvids.asp?prod=mm4psp) link and start watching.
Emulators and ROMS do require particular firmware versions, but most are "downgradable."

Would it be worth it for me to start folding with my old laptops (mostly g3s) power wise? Also I really want to get the dell IT guys to start folding with our computers at work at night/weekend. It would be hilarious for them to do it for MR! We have hundreds, if not over 1000 of core duos here.
I have it running on my C2D with XP at work. But XP/windows doesn't like it. It keeps crashing, sometimes twice or three times a day. When I don't fold the machine seems to be stable. So now I only use one core and sometimes it still crashes. Also windows doesn't like it when it is one for multiple days. Thank god I have a nice G5 at home which feels much more snappier then that C2D with XP on it. Ofcourse my G5 is also folding, but because I'm paying the electric bill.... it isn't folding 24/7 anymore :(

Is this the one by Hudson too? They don't normally develop poo. Another game I wasn't planning on getting gets a bad score :o I wish they stuck this into a Wii- generation game (Wii Fly?), gave it a decent multiplayer and then it might have appeal.

I do know. It is a scam.
Can you explain to me how it works that a non existent domain diverts to an auction company, and also how come that a check on the domain shows it as 'taken'?

I have tried the links at work, the first one got me a blank screen, the second one got me a white screen with "OK" in it. Also downloaded the GUI of folding and was messing around with proxy settings, but no luck. What's my next move??
ok. great results. you can see and access the assignment servers. next, if you would, i need to know what the settings are in internet explorer (tools, internet options, connections tab, lan settings, what is showing? any boxes with check marks?
second, open a command window (start, run, type 'command', ok) and type 'tracert assign.stanford.edu' with out the quote marks of course. don't need/care about the first few ip's, just want to see that it resolves the name (dns working) and that it hops to VSPX26.Stanford.edu and shows trace complete at the end (nothing blocked).
last few questions for now are; which version of windows? when you install the windows gui version and attempt to fold, what is the log showing? could you post the log so we could see the results/errors? any messages showing on the gui or just doesn't work? is this a machine that is on all the time?

It's cumbersome, hardly ideal, and defeats the purpose.
The problem with Apple simple. They have no enterprise strategy. They have no muscle to get developers to begin including Macs in custom software solutions, database integration, and web-services compatibility. Apple is totally missing the point, and doesn't understand the place of the computer in business and (this is the sad one) education.
So, Apple has the Xserve, right? Huge dismal failure for them. They are giving hardware to Universities, but they're not leveraging their weight to get software and datablase companies on board to write enterprise-wide server-based applications. A good example: some universities are in the process of migrating all their research to secure server farms, and interconnecting them nationwide to increase the pool of information available to researchers. This means that different applications, different file types, and different methods of gathering that information (such as a custom-written piece of software that, say, reads indentity cards or thumb-print records) need to become recognizeable, retrieveable, and editable from any location. Or what if libraries wanted to interconnect, creating a real-time updated database of all published works and periodicals known to mankind. They need to be able to trade data, and allow data to be submitted by individual users (such as a publication written by an independent party).
These are great examples of how the world is becoming more interdependent, and the personal computer is becoming merely a gateway to more information, applications and services. It's also a great way of illustrating how Apple is missing the boat entirely. They have made no such moves at the university (or even lower education) level. They have no plan (or so it seems) for the time when data unity is going to becom an essential element of the computing environement. They are making a wonderful move with embracing open standards, but they need to drive enterprise-level development. They need to sell solutions to the enterprises now, and make sure their technology is implemented, instead of trying to retrofit Mac-compatibility into an implemented solution. By then it will be too late, and the Mac platform will become obsolete.

No one should buy a professional workstation if they don't need all that power. It's just crazy. :p

YES.....but I insist we are talking about Desktops and low-end workstations. The Itanium is not a desktop processor. And just for your info the 970 can go up to 16-way SPM. We will probably never see a Mac with 16 processors but the 970 doesn�t have that technical limitation.

Redeye, you have to enjoy the warm weather a bit. Stop developing that widget and get out into the sun!
Yeah, you're probably right. Although most of the work is done during the currently to hot nights ;).
What am I saying.... Get back to work and work on it all day tomorrow, it's gonna rain anyhow! :D
Bossing me around, are you? :mad:
I'll have you're folding @$$ in 178 days as i can see from the new version of the widget. Watch your back mate :D.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Just made it work a half an hour ago, have fun with it ppl.
See first post to download.
As the new 'bug' section says: there is a resizing bug when viewing the back. Click the bottom of the widget to make it large before you view prefs to get the smoothest transition.
The code cleanup is needed now more than ever. This was one of the lasts steps in the beta stage. I will now (appart from fixing some more - user reported - bugs maybe) start working on the widget from scratch. Less code, nicer graphics, easier to use. It will take a while though.
Any request on widget abilities will be considered.
Time to enjoy the weather.

excuse me but I am wondering what is this folding that you are talking about?:confused:
http://folding.stanford.edu/
Its a distributed computing out of the University of Stanford. It uses your spare CPU to simulate proteins folding. And when you complete work units(WU) you get points for your user ID and your team. But first and for most it helps research. Points are just a perk. :D

Do you really think you should make these people's email addresses public. Not sure if you are telling the truth or not, but I know that whenever I have posted my email address in places before, (old addresses with limited storage), I have had problems with large quantities of spam. Even with efficient spam blockers, some can get through and if you get too fascist with spam, you can run the risk of blocking something real and important.
sjobs@apple.com would be a pretty obvious guess to Steve's e-mail address. But I bet it's got a whitelist. I couldn't imagine how much crap he would get without one (plus, with that email address posted all over the web, spam spiders would pick it up and have a field day with it)

Do these have SSE/2/3? Can I use the -forceasm in the target to get a nice little boost?
Do they overclock good? Can you overclock them? Is it wise to do so?
