I Hate Aluminum — #28
Although I did get a warning slip one busy Saturday (Day before Easter) at a Mall I have never had a problem parking the way I do. It just makes sense to me as I like to keep thing…

I Hate Aluminum — #29
It's never been a problem for me - I just watch my parking spaces and if it looks "too tight", I'll find another. No door dings or anything else like that.
Not to mention I alw…

Although anyone can walk thu practically any parking lot and witness the various dings, I marvel at your sheer luck. I would not be so ready to laugh at those who are more careful.…

I agree, the aluminium is not robust.
That said, I have a 17" that was given to me by my boss, after I drooled on it. No, really, I remarked how I would like one, and she said..…

How were the old Titanium Powerbooks? Any more robust than the Alumininum?

The AlBooks definitely dent easy. Frankly, I don't think I've seen a single model over a year old that DOESN'T have some form of denting. Alternatively, the TiBooks just cracked, s…

AltiVec sucks — #14
You can program for AltiVec in C and even C++, it's just that assembly is as low level as you can get save for binary, which makes it much more efficient and faster.
AltiVec sucks — #13
Using Altivec amounts to the same as using SSE (MMX wasn't useful and AFAIK not really used) -- you have to write apps to use it. So most of the things that use it have relatively …

Whoa.
And here I'd0 thought for years that He-Who-Was-Hinks was some kind of programming genius. If he doesn't even know what single-precision and double-precision floats are, and…

AltiVec sucks — #10
The only thing that sucks worse than AltiVec is not having AltiVec ... at least in my experience owning G3 and G4 machines.

Need to code in assembly? Mac OS X has a framework for AltiVec programming and 10.4 will auto-optimize code for AltiVec.
