    And it's available for Panther.

  5. One O/S to serve them all on Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger · · Score: 1
    There is NO "OS X Light." There's just one O/S to serve them all...

    No, the one to serve them all is OS X Server.

  6. Re:Typical designer megalomania on Saving Lives with Design · · Score: 1
    If it's clear, simple design that's at issue, why not just have a crude drawing of a 747 flying into the White House with a 24-point header reading LOOK OUT, GEORGE!


    Speaking as a graphic designer, I agree 100%.

    I was going to mock one up and post it, but I don't want the gummint investigating me for posting threats to the intraweb.

  7. Pack Rat's Law on Moore's Law Original Issue Found · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Keep something long enough and it will eventually be worth $10,000 to someone.

  8. Re:Trailers on Ask 'Hitchhiker's Guide' Exec. Producer Robbie Stamp · · Score: 1

    I'd mod the parent down, but I think an explanation is in order. What you see on TV is almost never a "Trailer," but rather a "Spot." TV Spots are almost always fast cut abbreviations of the trailers, designed to show one aspect of the film. Go HERE for trailers.

  9. Re:Undocumented bug fix on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update · · Score: 1

    I expect it to shut down or restart, which ever I chose, not to lock up. Sleeping the screen is something I do a lot. With a mouse in hand I might want to sleep it and walk away knowing that no one will be able to stop the shutdown sequence without knowing my password (to unlock the screen saver). Sure, hitting the return/enter key or clicking the little "shut down" button might seem the better choice. Sleeping the screen is more of a reflex action for me and it should work without incident--it now does. I'm happy.

    No! :P

  11. Undocumented bug fix on Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.3.9 Update · · Score: 4, Informative

    Now my Mac doesn't lock up when I choose the "Restart..."/"Shut Down..." and then sleep the screen during the optional 2-minute wait period.

  12. Re:The sad part is... on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 1

    Mac user, here. I have Photoshop documents with preview icons. What other Mac programs do this? It's not universal, or I'm seriously missing something.

    ..."Liger" should at least be a development name.

    And here I was thinking it might get rated "funny" or "insightful," but noooooooooooooooooo.

  20. Google Proxy server on Google Hacking for Penetration Testers · · Score: 3, Informative
    For example, did you know you can use Google as a free proxy server? By submitting a specially-crafted, English-to-English translation query, you can capitalize on Google's translation service to anonymously submit all your Web requests.

    Too bad Google doesn't translate graphics, which some web pages are full of.

    Noble yes, geeky no.

    Better yet, waste the money on a domain and a year's worth of web hosting.
