but I've returned my MacBook Pro v.1 for the following reasons:
- 7 pounds!!!
- When idling on single proc, it is very hot
- When idling on single proc, it only runs 1.5 hour. Slightly more
when the LCD is turned off for the entire 1.6 hour

to repair your primary startup disk and gives you the error:
"Invalid B-tree node size"? This is an iMac G5 and it cannot boot

2004/11/10-11 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:34813 Activity:kinda low | 11/10 Now that FF 1.0 is out, has anybody gone back and compared, say,
startup times to older versions (maybe even Phoenix)? Is FF still
a great deal faster than mozilla? I remember using phoenix and
thinking that it was maybe 2x faster for startup, as compared to
mozilla.
\_ I don't know about Mozilla, but startup time for FF 1.0 on OSX

good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
card--no game)?
\_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
most machines were custom built.

version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks." Are
they planning to turn off some security feature in my version of
Firefox?
\_ Not as such, no, but they're no longer developing this version,
so if a 3.6.x-targeted hack shows up, you're not going to get

2009/2/13-18 [Computer/HW/Memory, Computer/Domains] UID:52565 Activity:nil | 2/13 Question about memory relocation:
These days most h/w has a relocation register. Could the relocation
address be stored on disk or in kernel memory vs. in a register? Yes,
that would be slow but is it possible? Do you *need* a relocation
register or does it exist purely for performance reasons? I was
reading some paper written by IBM in the 1960s that seemed to

might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out? Who would be a good person
to contact about something like that? We're of course willing to put
out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
what they want :-p -- steven
