[01:13]<zzvzzzgvs>anyone have a mac pro with 4gb?
[01:18]<ndpjwnzbjjc>http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/the-mysterious-macbook-pro-noise-198298.php
[01:19]<zudl>mine doesnt make that noise
[01:19]<pnvnz66>I'm starting a software develoment course at university soon and wanted to know if I could create programs for use in windows in mac os x then use parallels to test them!
[01:19]<zudl>peter77 wouldnt be very efficient
[01:19]<zudl>but could use bootcamp and windows or parallels
[01:20]<zudl>for your development environment as well as testing
[01:20]<pnvnz66>yeah so I could create any programs for windows in windows
[01:21]<pnvnz66>I think the course may include creating software for linux and unix as well
[01:21]<zudl>you could run 'em all
[01:21]<pnvnz66>heres what the first year will include writing software, modelling and prototyping, hardware, networks, computing science and mathematics, and technical and learning skills.
[01:22]<pnvnz66>rump: woud parallels be better than actually booting into the OS?
[01:22]<zudl>would be slower
[01:22]<zudl>consume twice the ram likely
[01:23]<zzvzzzgvs>Peter77: parallels will generally be easier though if you need to switch back and forth
[01:23]<zudl>yeah bootcamp you havta reboot
[01:23]<zudl>but if one class is for windows dev, and another for unix or mac dev then you;re set
[01:23]<pnvnz66>cool
[01:23]<zzvzzzgvs>need someone to do this to make bootcamp easier to use: http://www.javarants.com/C1242049796/E20060808180052/index.html
[01:24]<pnvnz66>I'm also taking an old aptop with windows and linux on for taking notes with me for taking notes
[01:25]<zudl>get an intel mac and replace them all!
[01:25]<zudl>and get rid of linux all together hehe
[01:25]<pnvnz66>on an intel mac now
[01:25]<pnvnz66>20" 1.5gb ram
[01:25]<zudl>so you have unix
[01:26]<pnvnz66>yeah
[01:26]<zudl>so bootamp win xp
[01:26]<zudl>and you're set for school
[01:26]<rgmygyus>heh
[01:26]<pnvnz66>I just need win xp :-(
[01:26]<rgmygyus>I have WinXP in Parallels for school
[01:26]<rgmygyus>So far ... I can do everything I need in OSX
[01:26]<zudl>my wife has some b/s MathXL crap that requires windows
[01:26]<zudl>even though its flash
[01:26]<zudl>its crap
[01:27]<rgmygyus>I see
[01:27]<rgmygyus>We're using Eclipse right now
