MacRumors IRC Channel (#MacRumors)
For the past few major Apple events, we've opened Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channels to accomodate the additional traffic and discussion, with our last event in April, drawing a record crowd.
The channel will remain open year-round.
For those with their own IRC Clients, the MacRumors channel is on irc.krono.net on channel #macrumors.
For readers who are new to IRC, we offer a customized OpenMac client named MRChat. MRChat provides readers with a simple Mac OS X IRC client which will automatically connect to the proper server and channel. which can be downloaded here:
Download Link: MRChat v1.0.2

It is so funny to me that getting files on a Mac is not so different from any other Unix.
Very cool. I cannot believe how things are changing with OS X and Linux making such inroads into not only corporate systems but consumer as well.
Most may not realize it but the whole processor world is up for grabs. Intel is pushing Itanium, AMD is pushing Opteron, Apple (hopefully) is pushing 970s, IBM will be pushing 970s, Sun is still overcharging for Ultra's (anyone bitching about apple prices needs to go buy a Blade 2000, then talk to me about over priced).
Apple has the opportunity to be the leader like they haven't had since the 8088 started kicking the 6502. Focus on more than the consumer/media markets please. If apple would do one thing it would be to chip in on some of these big games development companies to release the games on Mac first and delay the Windows versions. Every kid I've known doesn't buy a PC for all the work they can do for school, they buy them for the games. When you get them at a young age they prefer to stick with what they know.
Get the games, get the kids, own the future. Apple can succeed, they just need the vision.

I'd like to say sorry to arn, sorry about that...
If anyone doesn't know, I'm banned, sorry people, have fun. :(
I didn't mean any harm, totally my fault though.

thanks for doing this. everything's working great now (from what i can see). i downloaded the new client, and it's rather nice.
i guess my productivity will be even lower now. good timing, though, with 970's around the corner, that'll just about balance out:)...
