Granted, anything that can cause a kernel panic is serious is enough to warrant a patch, but it seems like its an otherwise small list of fixes, even for for a point release.
Has anyone noticed that even though in the ads for the online store they show a guy groovin' to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back," they don't have the song or any of Mix's stuff for sale?

Does this mean that profesional graphic designers, desktop publishers, industry professionals and programmers for major corporations will have to choose between attending the WWDC or MacHack?
Truly, the decision must be wracking their souls right now.
I think the Services menu is one of the most underrated and underutilized features in Mac OS X.
I agree, but it can be quite cumbersome to navigate. Also, it'd be great if you could access it from the contextual menus. Anyone know how to add this?
In the first place, Apple still uses OS 9 in the Classic layer of X.
In the second, they don't programmers to spend their time fiddling with a program that they're no longer trying to make money off of. They want you to work on X.
Don't forget, the people who created these books deserve to be compensated. The guy who sat in front of a keyboard for months/years wanted to entertain or inform you, yes, but he also wanted to eat, have a warm place to sleep, etc.
If we take away copyright protection for creators, and the compensation they get for doing this work, then there is no motivation for them to create in the first place.
The political demagogue is powered, today as he was in ancient Rome, by the mob. The mouthbreathers.
The mouthbreather doesn't care about freedom of speech; his opinions are the popular ones. If the popular opinion changes, so will his. The mouthbreather doesn't care about freedom of the press; he just wants to be entertained.
What the mouthbreather really wants is to get through his day, safely, and have it be exactly the way it was the day before.
In "Easy Rider," Jack N's character says something along the lines of "People 'round here will go on and on about freedom, but if you show them a man who's really free, they'll hate him."

Weird.
The touch circle is still there, they've just added fast-forward, etc. to make things simpler.
Wow, that'd make Carrie Ann Moss' shoulder-blades big enough to sling a hammock... on...

How about "Uranus Browser?" No pronunciation difficulties there.

Here's my question... can they be applied using only one hand? This has been a big problem with personal first aid kids for quite some time.

When we've got the Total Awareness Network. Let the computers do the work!
Man, remember when we were worried about Carnivore?
Hey, can some of you go buy this stuff, then make a copy and give it to me for free? Thanks.
Gotta delete 'em all.
Again, it's for the 15" version.
