    Yeah, I know, I know. You were expecting a 20th Anniversary Mac, but this will have to do. I'm sure Steve had a keynote presentation in Moscone Center solemnly unvealing a 10.3.3 box raising out of the stage floor ... OK, I'll stop now.

    That may in fact be the first time someone on /. has *planned* what they'd be writing in a post!

    A new era of freshness is upon us, I say.

    Anyone know if the bug with Energy Saver not working on mondays is fixed?

    Sorry, but bugs that occur on Mondays shouldn't be the responsibilty of Apple. I suggest you clean up your karma and start donating to charitable organizations.

    I want mail stored as one .mbox file per folder - like God intended it to be.
    I want mail stored in a maildir, one file per message - like DJB intended it to be.

    Long live qmail!!!!

  7. Yes it was in OS 9 by lordpixel · · Score: 2, Funny

    It was a feature of Mac OS 9, yes.

    So you're not going crazy.

    Well, at least imagining that preference isn't a symptom of your madness :)

    i NEVER, EVER trust what the finder says... the good news is that this update does have the finder updating other stuff correctly, so this may be covered. i still won't ever trust it again.

    The Finder does update correctly now, but you're right - don't ever, ever trust it again. The Finder has betrayed you before, and it won't hesitate to stab you in the back again, given half a chance. And then where will you be? Sitting at home alone, drinking bourbon, weeping softly into a cracked mirror.

    With the wrong file sizes.

  11. No time to reboot by gtrubetskoy · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's funny is I always run for the update anytime I see an announcement like this, then when the "Shutdown or Restart" dialog comes up, I just ignore it and continue going about my business thinking I'll reboot at the first available opportunity. Guess what - it's been over two weeks since the last time I ran software update, and I still have not rebooted - the SU is just sitting somewhere in the background waiting for me to answer...
