A universal binary is a program which contains native code for both PowerPC (PPC) and X86 series (i.e., those made by Intel) processors. This allows the program to run at full speed on either platform; for example, on a PowerBook G4 (PPC) and a MacBook Pro (Intel).

No, however the current versions run very well on all G4, G5 and Intel Macs. I am planning to release a Universal Binary version (which provides native Intel speeds) later in 2007. This will be a free update for all registered 3.xx users.

I've recently installed the Mac OS X 10.4.6 update and CubicConverter is crashing every time I start a conversion. Help!

When you are accessing DOT.TUNES from your iPhone, you need to be sure that the JavaScript setting is set to ON.

Many of the machines in 21CF are equipped with Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), to provide them with the autonomy they need to operate without operators. Back in the 1980s, it was discovered that most people do not like talking cars, despite their popularity in TV shows of the time. Transportation such as Jack's Thunderbird, the Moonbase Eagle, etc. have on-board computers but are not therefore intelligent.

Yes. Most of beaTunes is written in Java, which will run with the native JVM installed on your system. Some parts are native code built as universal binary. Until version 1.1.3 beaTunes shipped with a PPC Java Stub and therefore Finder claimed that it was a PPC application. However, this did not mean that it runs under Rosetta on Intel, since the stub was smart enough to realize that it should switch to the native Java VM right away.

Yes, we do. The release schedule for Universal Binary is not fixed yet, but we hope to release it within Q2 2007. MathMagic Pro for QuarkXPress v5.4x or later comes with MathMagic XTension for QXP 7 in Universal Binary format to support QuarkXPress 7 on both PowerPC and Intel based Mac's.

The current version is not a Universal Binary, so it will run under Rosetta (with quite a nice performance as far as we can tell). An upgrade might be a complete rewrite (currently under 'investigation') and will absolutely be Universal, to closer match the processor it will run on.

For VTK 5.0.3 and older, the short answer is "no". For VTK CVS the short answer is "mostly". Work is being done to improve this situation.

The pavement varies from black ice to 6 miles of shake-and-bake. The route travels local, county, and state roads through five counties and several cities. The roads are open to normal traffic. Vehicle traffic will be light Sunday morning until church lets out. Some drivers will be kind, others may show disrespect. Please be polite in all circumstances.

Universal Precautions are an approach to infection control which assume that all human blood and some other bodily fluids could be infectious for HIV, Hepatitis B or other bloodborne infections and must be treated accordingly. Regarding HIV, the human body fluids that transmit HIV are blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk, among which blood is the only one encountered by school staff in general education settings.

You can use any character defined by the ISO 10646 universal character set. If Big5 (or GB2312) does not have that character, you can use a "numeric character reference". This looks like 媼where the "5ABC" is a hexadecimal number giving the ISO10646 number. Windows NT's "Character Map" utility lets you see all the ISO 10646 characters in any font. If the character is a variant on an ISO10646 character, you can make up an element type (and attribute) so that it will display properly.

The OHIM EM 2 Form in one of the 20 official languages, available in two different versions. The first version of OHIM form is the one for applications made in one of the 3 languages of the Protocol (French, Spanish or English). The second one is for applications made in the 17 other languages (both versions of this form are available at http://oami.europa.eu/en/mark/madrid/forms.htm ).

The details of doing this depend on your web browser, not on anything specific to PhysioNet or to the specific files you wish to download, so the first thing you should do is to learn how to use your web browser. Most browsers have a Help button that can get you started.

In Binary mode a file is copied bit for bit from one machine to the other. Both files (the original and the transferred file) will contain exactly the same sequence of bytes.

Information about binary distributions of PDL can be found on http://pdl.perl.org . At present there are binary distributions of PDL for Linux (RedHat and Debian), FreeBSD and Windows. If someone is interested in providing binary distributions for other architectures, that would be very welcome. Let us know on the pdl-porters@jach.hawaii.edu mailing list. Yes, PDL does run on Linux and indeed much of the development has been done under Linux. On http://pdl.perl.

The developers make sure that the software builds and works correctly on the platforms available to them; this does not necessarily mean that your platform is one of them. In addition, the Apache HTTP server project is primarily source oriented, meaning that distributing valid and buildable source code is the purpose of a release, not making sure that there is a binary package for all of the supported platforms.

A universal name is an expanded name. The term comes from an article by James Clark and was used in an earlier version of this FAQ. (The first edition of the Namespaces in XML 1.0 recommendation did not provide a term for this concept; the term expanded name was introduced in the second edition.)
