  1. Re:Focus Follows Mouse on Mac OS X to Get Journaling FS · · Score: 2

    But if moving your mouse to the menue bar always triggers you to go back to the finder on the way there, how the hell do you find out what the command keys for any specific program are, much less use the functions that don't have command keys? I'd like to see this implimented in the finder itself maybe, but I don't see Apple ever putting it in for applications as aa whole.

    Since plenty of people hate that, I don't see that being a default. Ever.

    Would be nice to have the option though.

    Interesting point. I don't think the US is obligated to care about tthe civil liberties of foergin nationals in countries that aren't here, so I'd be suprised if US law says the FBI needs a search warrent in te first place. If it did, what juristiction would it have to go through to get one?

    No, I tihnk we can assume judges aren't stupid. "Biased, bigoted, make mistakes, work from thier own view point, have thier own adjendad" you can argue on aa case by case basis, but judges are rarely stupid.

  11. Re:Fireware already does this... on USB On-the-Go Go Go Go · · Score: 2

    I think there's a firewire-usb bridge you can add on to use up a firewire channel and take some of the load off your usb ports.

    But I hear you. It took iomega way to long for to make thier stuff firewire. Disk dirve's usb, most of our burners are usb, palm connector, serial adaptor.

    The thing is, everything on that list except the burner is fine for USB. Usb (even USB2) isn't designed for long sustained data transfer (i.e. burning); it works in bursts. Keep the little stuff on USB, and get the better stuff on firewire.

    Anybody think this'll actually get used very often? IN a wolrd that values simplicty of security, I doubt I'll ever work in a place that uses these. Not because I don't value security, but because I doubt the comapany would enough to employ these.

  14. Re:Mac Laptops on Flirting With Mac OS X · · Score: 2

    I think the biggest hinderance in getting Gbit to work right now has nothing to do with the machines, its the switch sofware. Have you priced GBit switches??
    Also, for the record, thier low end machines only have 10/100. I think.

  15. Re:Mac Laptops on Flirting With Mac OS X · · Score: 2

    For the record, its a software based RAID, not hardware. Anyway,I completly agree on the use of firewire on thhe Macs. Itsa godsend. All you points, plus one I find can save me hours: target disk mode. Being able to boot one of your machines jsut like its a hard drive and get an absolutly sick transfer speed is great. Even wroks with imacs without GBit.

    Wait, what? You expect Apple to distribute under the GPL , of all liscenses? Do you actually think Apple wants to give Darwin code to every person who installs OS X? You could make a good agument for BSD liscenses, but no way on the GPL. For Grandma nto to see a cd called source code to show up with her mac is reason ebnough to use a differnt liscense.

When was the last time you saw somebody start a program for tthe gifted and talented kids? Not in Maryland, you didn't.
