  1. Re:Go read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenan on Interview With iMac designer, Jonathan Ive · · Score: 1

    >Cocoa is "Java for kids"

    You seem to be a little confused. What you're talking about is now called Stagecast.
    Everyone else is talking about Cocoa, Apple's Objective-C based API.

  4. New book? on Ask Bruce Campbell Anything... · · Score: 1

    >Bruce Campbell has a new book out (If Chins Could Kill) ...

    Didn't this book come out back in June? Maybe new doesn't mean what I think it means.

  5. Re:Why buy them hardback when you can get softcove on Harry Potter Wins Hugo · · Score: 1

    I wanted to buy the hardcover version of Cryptonomicon, but I just can't stand the way the pages were all made rough and cut to slightly different sizes. If I wanted my books to look like that, I'd make them myself.

  6. Re:The movie was not too dark. on Miyazaki's Future w/ Disney · · Score: 1

    >While I'm here, I'll also rant about the dub for Mononoke.
    >Claire Daines as the princess completely ruined it for me.
    >Billy Bob Thorton's southern voice as an old Japanese monk type character put the icing on the cake.
    >What a half-ass job for the voice actors Disney did.

    Jada Smith is the one that bothered me.

    -Oh look, this isn't an argument.
    -Yes it is.
    -No it isn't. It's just contradiction.
    -No it isn't.
    -It is!
    -It is not.
    -Look, you just contradicted me.
    -I did not.

    Heh. Prepare for POS jokes.

  9. Re:You have missed the point on The Mac, Metadata, and the World · · Score: 1

    >What it means is that when you double-click on a file, the application that created it will open - which is usually what the user wants.

    This is almost never what I want. When I create an html file with golive, I want to open it with my web browser. When I create a gif file with Graphic Converter, again I want to open it with my web browser.
    The worst part about this situation is not the incorrect assumption, it's that there's no built in way to change which application opens a file.
    Thank god for MacOS X.

  10. Re:I HATE the MacOS and its stupid metadata! HATE on The Mac, Metadata, and the World · · Score: 1

    > I know I'm practically alone in the Mac camp, but I hate metadata.

    I know a lot of Mac users(including me) who feel the same way. I think the metadata lovers are just a lot more vocal.

    You mean the Natural Law Party? They're the ones who encourage yogic flying to lower the crime rate.
