I can't believe how much carping I'm seeing about $1 a pop being too much. Anyone remember 45rpm singles? They were $1 per more than twenty years ago. Sure, they had two songs, but you only wanted one of them. Sound like a familiar price point?
If that's the price the market bore two decades ago, I don't see how it's too much now.
I thought Apollo 13 had an air of truth about it, about engineers in general. Less smoking happens these days and fewer ties are worn, of course, but the geeks seemed geeky in the correct manner.
I particularly enjoyed the sole actual software guy, the MIT hack who got rousted out of bed. Seen the Apollo LM DSKY simulator, by the way?
I don't know what makes you think the iBook is fragile. The thing is a tank. Its clamshell predecessor was designed to be abused by schoolkids, and the current iceBook is reputed to handle drop tests from twice the height. I've dropped my wife's twice and it's still purring along...don't tell her.
I'm also told by an informed friend that the 12" powerbook is on the fragile side, which certainly makes sense (and seems reasonable). Nice thick plastic has to offer more of a cushion than thin, flexible aluminum.
I just wrote to Morrison's address on the contact page asking for a DVD release, and got this reply:
Thanks, Ray. It is in the works, and your name is being added to a growing
list of people with the same request. I will email you when it is available.
Everyone who has a machine that can run Jaguar already has a version of the Mac OS, so what's the difference between calling it an upgrade or not?
No. Plenty of G3 based iMacs and towers were sold before OS X did anything resembling ship. And given enough memory, they run it quite nicely, thank you.
Ah, point taken. It wasn't clear to me what you were driving at.
Me, I'd be more inclined to go the portable core/native UI route, but it you're right, it would have to add up to more work with each additional platform.
4. If people want to convert mp3->ogg - LET THEM. If they are that uninformed that they don't understand why it's stupid, just let them do it.
Sorry, have to disagree. The last thing you want is a legion of people who convert their libraries, notice that the result sounds like garbage, and then spread the meme "This Ogg thing sounds like crap!"
There is no need to pony for FileMaker Server. Any FileMaker Pro instance can, uhm, serve as a server. You will, though, have to buy a separate FMP license for each box. Me, I'd use something Free.
Well, someone had to say it. OW has Emacs key bindings wherever you edit text, a la Mail and TextEdit and a handful of others. I don't even realize how much I rely on them until I spend a little CSS quality time in Chimera.
I don't really have a problem with paying a little for the nicest browser I've ever touched, rjrjr
I still don't see any way to get iPhoto to index images that you already have on disk. It insists on copying them into its mysterious ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library hierarchy.
Has anyone seen a way to make it act like iTunes, and index without copying?
At my commencement way back in the '80s, one the speakers was an eminent Korean researcher (name escapes me) who spoke a lot about NMR--which his accent rendered "Enema." Needless to say, I don't remember much else of what he said.
Maybe you're not a troll, but you're ill-informed. That nasty finder is a ground up Carbon rewrite, which measures up to neither the Finder nor the old NeXTstep WorkSpace.

Yeah, this has been a real nightmare for the Ganoo guys.

How do you pronounce USian?

It is very difficult to image the Omnis as willing to be bought or hired.

Decide for yourself, look at the clip.
For some reason they didn't include the soundtrack music, a shame because it worked really well.
It's already been on at least once. I got sucked into it while channel flipping the other night.
Making something like this interesting is all about editing choices, and they made theirs brilliantly.
Now, see, that's why people shouldn't post before coffee. That's what I'm saying.
Oops.

It's saved already. No worries.

Google/DMOZ has a whole category for this guy and his peers. I especially liked Kev's cockpit, a little How To guide.

You could probably have handled this without being root, and w/o rebooting. In Terminal in an Admin account, do:
sudo rm -rf HideousStuffitDirectory
And as for moving your personal environment to a new account, you would get 99% of it by something like:
sudo ditto ~oldUser/Library ~newUser/Library
shudo chown -r newUser.newGroup ~newUser/Library
Really I can't see any reason not to do that for the entire home directory. Just lop off the "/Library" parts.
Do you use 802.11b? Are they coexisting nicely?
NOOOOOOOO! Now I'm going to hear that song for the rest of the week!

You might have found OmniDiskSweeper handy too.

That's really interesting. 7th Seal was exactly what I couldn't find, and what lead me to check what if anything they carried by him.
