Correct. However in this case it's the SMC managing it. PMU comes from the PPC era, like CUDA in the clone and 68K times.

SMC handles all low level monitoring, because it's OS independent reading data via SMART is just a non option. SMC also takes care of how hardware components are initialised and a slew of other things. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

Secondly, while you can override certain SMC values like fan speeds you can never override the lowest safe values that are hard coded in. In that same vein if the SMC thinks your fan should run faster when you don't want them to, they will regardless.

Merci.

I'd have to disagree, there's a big difference between flaming and being to the point.

I'd rather hear or read a "It fails because X Y Z" then having to go thru a lengthy prose or statement that says "it has been incontrovertibly proven that the restrictions and performance metaphors applied to X as it cascades thru Y is causing an undesired negative effect on Z. Therefore we can only conclude it's marginally very disappointing."

The content in question is very much to the point in my opinion, some of it I consider being written in jest so how this is "negative and caustic" escapes me.

You have to be polite and well spoken or efficient and terse, you can't be both at the same time.

While in all likelihood it's a legal and bureaucratic issue causing delay, I can see how this is considered bad form.

However, I've made an attempt at understanding the source release obligations under the GPL and all I get from it is: When you release to the public, you've got to release the source. But at no point have I found a "it has to be released immediately."

The only clause I can see Apple potentially hiding under is Section 3.B of the GPL. ie. as long as they have the door open for written requests all is well.

Can someone please clarify for me how the "well intended" spirit of the license works versus the real world legalities and requirements ?

There's nothing unique about my viewpoint, I'm certain that somewhere else someone has come to a similar conclusion given a set of events and influences. It's just rare to see it expressed so here we are.

I find it worrying that you continue to use your measurement stick to say "you must be this hurt" to understand racism. I've outlined that we will continue to have stereotypes and that's it's not correct to use fiction as established fact. That a label can be true or false. That racism comes down to labelling an individual for perceived inadequacies. That racism will continue to be an ongoing issue given human nature. Been there and still there.

I don't doubt a persons integrity in any fashion, what I do find alarming is that those victimised start accepting a label as a fact and thereby continuing this negative themselves. Hence if a label no longer has the emotional attachment nor the emotional impact that is intended by those with ill will how can this not be a good thing ? Certainly it will not heal scars of the past but it will make for a better future.

If it was up to you it would for example mean I couldn't write childrens books such as "Fei-Long the fisherman from China", "Jenkins from England buys a top-hat", "Ela from India goes to the Temple". By that token I stand by my opinion that a stereotype is permissable in an entertainment context for good and bad. I can entertain the thought, and then discard it for what it is, a piece of fiction. Since not all Chinese are fishermen, not all English people wear top-hats, not all from India have the same belief and for good measure not all Black people are Gangsters. List goes on.

If I didn't want to listen or gain insight into another persons viewpoint we wouldn't be here in this instance. What disappoints me is that despite my best efforts to understand and communicate, it would appear I have failed in this.

I've stated how I've become who I am today and still you claim that I have no experience with the matter, well I'm sorry if your measurement stick doesn't work on me. By that token it would mean that only your personal experience is what defines racism and how only you can decree what it's definition is in it's experience, speech, thought and writing on the matter.

I've been honest the entire journey, yet you responded at each passage.

For this I love you and thank you friend, it's been informative.

That would be taking my commentary completely out of context as I'm clearly applying it to stereotyping and nothing else.

Stereotyping would have happened way before the act of intercourse as 2 adults check off all the boxes on their mental wish lists of what they look for in a mate.

After that, it's up to proper courtship and etiquette. A completely different matter.

> Your entire argument is flawed by fallacious and/or bad reasoning. Based on what you've written, it's obvious that you've never been significantly hurt or impacted by racial discrimination.

A bold claim, you assume that just because I have not shared a "woe is me" chronology that I have not suffered the impact of trauma, severe depression, isolation and been thru my share of misfortune. I would almost dare to say that you are discriminating me in this instance because you cannot apply your regular check list for what you would deem a victim of racism.

But I can understand why. I will agree that perhaps my reasoning could be better and I may not deal with matters in the most conventional way but permit me to share what I have learned on my journey so far. Perhaps it will bring clarity.

I concluded that by removing layers and layers of abstraction, applying for the most part pure logic and what I've learned from human behaviour, that a lot of events become predictable and in its essence very understandable. Applying the method of abstraction to stereotyping, and your particular argument of racism, the end outcome is that one is left with the pure individual. Which to me matters most.

Humans are still very much like animals, we fear that which we don't know and understand. Until people understand empathy and ego, judging an individual on a feature set isn't going away anytime soon.

With that said, I give it a high probability that you will still say I am breaking all the rules.

Breaking all the rules made me a more functioning person.

By that token I ask are positive stereotypes okay ?

To both I say yes, everything has balance.

Without this balance we wouldn't have contextual discussion.

Because it IS just a label. It has no inherent value or meaning. It's merely a descriptor which can be true or false.

Hardly, Compilers make sense, Humans do not at times.

> Just the fact that you think being an Arab is analogous to being a librarian for these purposes raises a number of questions in any reasonable reader's mind.

Pretty much is man, it's just a label. That's all it is regardless of race, sex, color, religion, profession. For better or for worse. The root of the problem is people clinging to this fiction as fact. Time and understanding will fix that.

Given my origin and the situations that come with it at times this philosophy is what works out best for me and those who are willing to listen, if not it's high time to find a more receptive audience.

Foremost we're all individuals. And you know if you can't laugh at yourself... :)

> Perhaps you think that some people are made librarians from birth and have no choice about the matter.

I think that given certain genetic dispositions and the environment where a child grows up that is quite possible.

> Your final statement is not even a rebuttal, it's merely an appeal to popularity.

Turn on any source of information, labels on everyone everywhere. All neatly grouped and organised. Not pandering to popularity, Just stating fact.

> The assumption here is that perpetuating English and French stereotypes is morally equivalent to doing the same to black American.

But it is, that is the essence of a stereotype. If we take out the ethnicity factor and go into personalities your argument is the same as saying that it is embarrassing and damaging for Librarians to be labelled as boring and strict, for Managers to be labelled as conniving bastards and idiots, for Artists to be labelled as always high on drugs, for Nerds to be labelled as outcasts and acne ridden.

I consider your argument flawed in that stereotyping will always have an element of "there's some truth in your fiction and some fiction in your truth".

Fiction and Fact are two completely different things. It's a good thing many people appreciate fact.

> This is tantamount to saying "I have a right to perpetuate racially-based stereotypes, despite any claimed or real negative effect they have, because my ability to be funny depends on it."

Not just my ability but also that of the Film Industry, TV Productions, Stage Plays, Books, Music, which all continue to use any form of stereotyping for good or bad.

Given the context no, the material presented is clearly made in jest and the point made remains the same.

This could've easily been say "P-Diddy's Certificate and Ho Emporium", "certificats pour les snobs par francois" or "Jenkins Tea, Crumpets and Certs".

If it wasn't for stereotyping we'd loose a valuable source of comedy all over the world.

Technically the Amiga Platform has always been rather agnostic about it's timing & video output. It spits out PAL / NTSC / RGBS in various funky resolutions, all you have to do is ask or set a jumper depending on the model. Secondly if it wasn't for this spot on NTSC carrier frequency that the Amiga could output we would never have seen products such as the Video Toaster. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Toaster

Or this oddity, the A2024 with a 10hz-15hz refresh rate: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=863

Nice Work, but somehow 12.6MB for 21.5 seconds of vector animation seems to be missing the point somehow.

POKE 53280 and 53281. Values 0 to 15.

I don't really care for startup time as once a browser is open it doesn't get closed till a reboot comes around which for many will be the case. I do care for nice things not eating up my cores.

Here's a simple example I botched together. Firefox has the worst performance when it comes to rendering a simple css transforms. Firefox hits > 80% CPU time when the effect is in play compared to < 30% for the competition and < 7% for Safari.

Copy / paste and mouse hover like a mad man.

Firefox and Performance still don't belong in the same sentence for me as it stands.

People are realising more and more that it's ones self who is in control and do not need to channel their willpower thru an external entity to make things happen / hope that things will go well. Same thing being that it's modern medical science that extends people's lifetime and cures illness, Education that teaches us evolution, Etc, Etc.

Besides, Everything has a beginning and an ending so it's hardly surprising.

For everything else there's the dream of "The Empathic Civilisation".

It doesn't really, anything using OpenGL / CoreGraphics triggers discrete graphics.

Same here, it would appear Apple is a bit too aggressive with it's power management and it's confusing the living daylights out of the ATI driver when it's on automatic.

It isn't, a cocoa / quartz friendly port is already partly done and runs well as long as you don't need all the esoteric functions that VICE offers. Binaries available on the VICE page.

For the really concerned, Xquartz is the basis for X11.app which is openly available from MacOSForge so X11 as a whole isn't going to disappear anytime soon it may just require a bit more effort to get running.
