From a few orders, to a few more orders, to a few emails, to a lot more emails, we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of a campaign to support a show we had never even watched before
"motivated by hate" means the commission of a crime with the intent to commit the crime because of the actual or perceived race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity of the victim, whether or not the offender's belief or perception was correct
What accomplishment does Barack Obama have that should put him on the top of that ticket?
Governor Bill Richardson is a former Congressman, Secretary of Energy, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. He's best known for successfully negotiating to get hostages out of Iraq, North Korea, Cuba and Sudan, and he recently negotiated a 60-day cease-fire in Darfur.
Compared to Bill Richardson, what candidate has more experience as an executive, as an international diplomat, or in determining energy policy?
In theory anyway. Try it in the finder. Every time you click + the finder chooses a different size.
By default, windows do "fit to content" when resized, like I said. That is, unless you've clicked the button to "fit to content" and then resized that window. In that case, it remembers the size you set.
In order to demonstrate this(and what I said in the last post), open some folders you haven't opened before(There are probably a bunch in ~/Library). Each window should be the same size.
Now resize one of those windows, and click the resize button. It should "fit to content". Now resize the window and click the resize button again. It resizes to whatever size you set after first opening the window.
Now click the resize button again. It resizes to the custom size you set.
iTunes is a special case in that it has two different modes, but sure enough, it remembers the size of the window in both modes. Try resizing the window in either mode and then switch modes and switch back. The window will be the custom size you had set.
The normal behavior of the resize(+) button is to make the window just large enough to view all of the content in the window. Clicking that button again would resize the window to its original size.
In programs where the display of the content depends on the size of the window, that button resizes the window between two sizes that the user can set.
There is no need to grant the same legal status to a group when its members (individuals in a corporation) already have their own Constitutionally-recognized rights.
Windows keyboard shortcuts are incredibly difficult to remember because they're not consistent. While some Windows shortcuts may seem easier at first glance, their inconsistencies make them harder to remember overall. I find that infuriating when I use Windows. Apple o is consistent with the rest of the programs on the Mac OS in that it opens files, and it's always been that way. On a Mac, if you want to use the keyboard to input a command, it's usually the apple key and the first letter of whatever you want to do. Like to "Quit", you hit Apple q rather than Alt F4.
On A Mac, Enter/Return is the button you hit on a Mac to rename a file. If you're trying to remember that, remember that enter is used when you're inputting text. If Apple were to use the enter key to open a file, what (consistent) keyboard command would you suggest they use to start renaming that file?
On Windows, you hit F2 to start renaming a file. "Alt f4" and f2 don't mean anything unless you've memorized the commands. I started on Macs and Windows a decade ago when I was in seventh grade, and until this year, I didn't even know that I could hit f2 on a Windows machine to start renaming a file! And I have a degree in computer networking!
Here's another demonstration. On a Mac, if you want to type umlauts, accent mark, or eñes, you hit option and [the letter the mark normally appears over] and then a letter. Option e and then e produces é. Option n and then n produce ñ. Option u and then u produce ü. On Windows, typing a u with umlauts or an e with an accent mark is an impossible task to remember because it doesn't fall into a consistent pattern. On the Mac, ü, ñ and é take a second to remember. As do á, ä and ã.
Consistency is the key, and Windows is inconsistent.
I really missed tabbed windows when OS X came out. In the classic Mac OS, you could drag files over those tabs to have the tab windows spring open a la spring-loaded folders. The dock has never supported spring-loaded folders.
The classic Finder was also anal-retentively consistent, whereas OS X's Finder isn't. I've been complaining about the problems with OS X's Finder ever since OS X came out. It has a bunch of issues:
There's no way to specify a specific number of columns per window or have all column view windows open full screen-width instead of the default size. This means every previously-unopened window opens with the same default settings, not the ones I like.
There's no way to prevent the sidebar from changing sizes whenever I resize a window.
Until the Leopard betas, there was no way to Finder's icon spacing or column view's sort order.
I use Firefox on OS X, and my main issue is that it doesn't feel like a "proper Mac application". Certain things don't work like every other program.
For example, on single-line text input boxes, a Mac user should be able to hit the up arrow or down arrow to go to the beginning or end of the line. Firefox doesn't behave correctly.
In the OS X version of Firefox, the menus aren't Mac-like at all.
The "Tools" menu is a hold-over from Windows. Mac applications have a "Window" menu where you can select from open windows and commonly-used windows. In Firefox, this menu is wasted. The "Tools" menu should be completely removed, and its contents should be moved. Items like "Downloads" and "Error Console" belong in the "Window" menu. Items like "Page Info" belong in the "File" menu(or in the "View" menu, next to "Page Source").
Don't get me wrong; I actually prefer Firefox to other browsers. But Firefox has been on the Mac platform since 2003. Within the last four years, the theme has changed several times. Heck, the toolbar icons have changed at least once under each incarnation(Phoenix, Firebird, and Firefox). Within those four years, I would have expected an attempt at making the browser act and look like a proper Mac application, rather than a port from Windows.
I got some 14-watt compact fluorescents in November when my porch and backyard lightbulbs burned out. Since it's cold outside, when I turn one of them on, it's incredibly dim for a minute or so, but after that, the lights get incredibly bright, much much brighter than any of my neighbors' lights.
I have compact fluorescent bulbs in every bedroom, in my kitchen, in the bathrooms and closets, and outside. The only room where I still use incandescent bulbs is in my living room in two halogen-shaped lamps. For that room, I couldn't find compact fluorescents that weren't either much too bright or much too dim. I have used 40-watt equivalent, 60-watt equivalent, 75-watt equivalent, and 100-watt equivalent bulbs.
I've been impressed with the change in the quality of the lights. When I first bought compact fluorescents, their light was very yellowish, and made everything look strange. But as the incandescent bulbs have burned out, the quality of each new package of compact fluorescents has been noticeably better. And they last forever. None of the compact fluorescents I've purchased(20 or so) have ever burned out. The only reason I've replaced any has been because the newer ones produce nicer light.

That doesn't mean that you should re-invent the wheel for every program you create.
Consistency between most Mac apps means having less to learn when using a new program. That's a big plus.

I use an eight-button mouse with OS X, which means easy access to right-click, Exposé, and Dashboard.
Copland was not Rhapsody.
Copland was an attempt to recreate what's now called the "Classic" Mac OS, with a bunch of new features. It was scrapped.
Rhapsody actually developed into a currently shipping product, albeit with a different name: Mac OS X.

Camino is much more Mac-like, but much less powerful. In terms of power, it's closer to Safari than it is to Firefox.
I use several(eight) Firefox extensions, and Camino just doesn't have that capability.

How is "digital restrictions management" less proper or less accurate than "digital rights management"?
Its purpose is to manage restrictions on what users can or cannot do with the content. In what way does it manage rights?
You've never heard that Apple paid NeXT to take them over?
Just ask Steve Jobs, Avie Tevanian, and Bertrand Serlet.
