    Darnit, I should have googled first.

    When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
    I've experiments to run.
    There is research to be done. So close...

    from the look-at-me-still-talking-while-there's-science-to-do dept.

    Now this is great. Nice one.

    Wouldn't that be 'science-to-be-done'? (Remember that time I pretended I was going to nitpick at you? Wasn't that great?)

    I don't own a GS3, but logically speaking, isn't there an option to set how large a percentage of the CPU power you want to limit the folding to? If there isn't, there ought to be.

    I'd love to share Ogg files with my friends - but then they'd be unable to use them on their MP3-players.

    Mainly it's hard to get because women are either so fucking possessive and jealous it's a pain, or they're total sluts that don't understand my right to exclusive access to their body (which, of course, is a one-way street - my body can do whatever it wants). Damned bra-burning hippies.

    If what you were saying should have any traction, there'd have to be prior examples - like them bricking customized iPhones, or something as assinine.

    Apart from that, one of my acquaintances is also overly photosensitive, and he just used the colour calibrator in Sys Prefs to get a more usable experience. HTH.

    I can always look at the bright side: My boss paid for my Logitech Mouse. If this mouse busts, I'll just crack out my old trusty Logitech Mouseman - the old white and gray one.
    Shit, I knew that their Windows drivers had been made in a fischer-price point and click IDE, but why the hell fuck up the Mac drivers as well?
    Ah well, I'm at least glad I waited with the upgrade.
    Seriously. My OS upgrade could have been messed up because of mouse drivers. That is actually pretty funny...

    The implication of the default choice being safe mode is that it is useful. It is useful - if you know what you're doing.
    The 640x480 is a legacy safety issue. VGA is more widely supported and less likely to fail than SVGA - I think it's all about reducing likelihood of error during safe mode boot, however remote the jump would make it.

    AFAIR, it assumes that you want safe mode. If you don't respond within time limit, it boots safe mode. Or was that changed?

    Apparently, a number of "legit" third party applications, such as Logitech drivers, installed APE. (According to a post further up in this discussion). Yay.

    Wow. I'm glad I read this before installing - I was skimming through here, thinking "this looks as if it doesn't affect me..."

    Who the fuck thinks that's off topic? It's Leopards support for airport disks that sux ... My immediate guess would be those who have actually read the summary, which was, AFAIR from two minutes ago, not "Let's whine about arbitrary shortcomings of Mac OS X Leopard" - it was about installation issues.

    Actually it would be more like Vista dropping support for Windows 3.1 (Win16 API) or DOS.

    Vista 64bit has done exactly that. It won't run any 16 bit code (nor did XP 64bit).

    In all fairness, XPx64 had problems with most code, anyway.

    I've had trouble finding it as well - on the main page, under the 'month overview' part on the left, there's a list of your calendars. Click on the little arrow to the right of the calendar you want to use, and then on 'Calendar settings'. At the very bottom of that page, you should find three coloured images; Orange XML, Green ICAL and blue HTML. You want ICAL. I had to fiddle about a bit the first few times I had to use it, too. HTH :)
    Just noticed a new option, too - they have 'Embed' now :-D.
