hey, I like my mac. Don't blame it for not being able to run windows programs (which it can btw with darwine and can even run windows OS's)

It's like trying to play an xbox game on a playstation.

Yeah, but I was trying to get it to run portable, Mac-compatible version of Firefox.

this one?

works for me. Just tested it. A terminal window should open after you click "START OSX Firefox" and then firefox should open a little after.
Maybe the ones over there are blocking it from opening somehow.
Any other version of it won't work unless the mac has darwine installed.

Just tested it with darwine and it's very unstable. You'd have to run the older version on a mac

Yep. The one I usually use is obviously the Windows version, so I specifically got this other version for the specific times when I'm on a Mac.

In all likelihood, this is what was keeping it from running.

Shaping up to be a REALLY slick OS. Works great on my 5 year old Athlon XP computer. It's like all the cool new stuff and features of Vista with the resource usage of XP. Very nice!

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #470 on:** December 13, 2008, 03:23:46 AM »

ooh nice. I've been holding out on getting Vista for 7.

So, replaced two older machines that are doing the majority of the downloads with one machine and a virtual machine:
- 4GB: twice the amount of RAM (partly needed for the VM)
- 2* 500GB disks: twice the amount of diskspace (with half the amount of drives)
- C2D@2,1GHz: twice the amount of processor power (loading large newsgroups was getting slow)

And the main reason to do this:
- less then 80W/hour of power used: half the amount of the previous two machines!

for advances in electronics!

this one is funny? lol is too GEEK, way out of my league.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #473 on:** January 14, 2009, 12:53:04 AM »

lol

that's for all the command line/terminal freaks!

Datalanche · « **Reply #474 on:** January 15, 2009, 03:54:20 PM »

Thankfully that command probably won't execute. He's not issuing the command with sudo, nor is he logged in as root as marked by the $ sign.

I think I just summed up why I have no girlfriend.

pfft. I'm a better musician than those machines.

I can appreciate the time and effort that went into that project. Too bad the music is a bit generic and repetative.

shurastriker · « **Reply #478 on:** January 18, 2009, 05:59:14 AM »

^ are you talking abut techno music or the video?

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #479 on:** January 18, 2009, 09:02:43 AM »

^ If you want repetative with variations, pick up some old school Klaus Schulze
