Then there's the fact that a certain percentage of any media will be reserved by the filesystem format.

When you pump a lot of electrons into an electrical system, one of the by-products is heat. Too much heat causes irrepairable damage. The real problem is adequate heat disappation to keep the electrical system within its operating parameters so that stuff doesn't melt into a useless goo. Most solutions have been with traditional heat sinks: either blocks of metal to radiate heat away and increase surface area with the air, or fans to circulate more air to remove more heat from heat sinks. But heat sinks have their physical limits (a block of metal only conducts so much heat) and physical constraints (how much room do you have in a computer?). And fans must use electricity to pump more air (and how loud do you like your fans?). Now on top of these problems, add the constraints of a smaller form, limited power supply, and an end-user desire for less noise. It's not a trivial problem. Saying that it's just a matter of getting more air demonstrates not only a lack of knowledge in the area, but moreso a lack of respect for difficulty of the problem.

I hope that Apple can squeeze a G5 into a PowerBook. If they can do so, it would be in another 6-12 months. This is based on a turnaround time simliar to the G3 and the G4 migration from the desktop to the laptop. When I see an Apple product announcement, I'll get just as excited. :-) But until then, it's just a rumor, and there's really no point in talking about rumors. -- Eugene Lee eugene at anime dot net -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Running the shell script (tcsh? ick) like that executes everything in a
separate child process. Changes like modifying environment variables in
a child process do not propogate back up to the parent process.
To make those changes stick in the current process, you need to source it:
% source setEnv.tcsh

No. I'm saying that Apple's resources are rather tight, and the company needs to focus on more important problems than esoteric user preferences. -- Eugene Lee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It also depends on the type of jazz music as well.

To the untrained ear, MP3s ripped at 128 kbps CBR with joint stereo is good enough for many of the masses. More pickier people will go with 192 kbps or even 256 kbps and switch to normal stereo. -- Eugene Lee -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
