Make a DMG with hdituil and set it to be case-sensitive. Then you have have a stanza in your makefile that checks to see if/Volumes/YourDMGsVolumeName/foo is a file, and mount the dmg if it isn't.
I know, it's a kludge, but it makes building a lot easier.
And doing a Garbage Collection sweep slows down your productivity, just like in Java, but at least you're getting to control when GC happens, rather than having it happen randomly when you're at your most busy.
Well, according to apple.com, when you plug a new drive into a machine running Leopard, it'll ask you if you want to do your Time Machine backups to that volume.
And knowing Apple, it'll be about that hard to do the configuration.
You may want to check out Butler - among the many things it does for you (for free, no less) is let you bind the common iTunes controls to keys - I have F1-5 set to set the star rating of the currently playing song, other keys for next/prev track and play/pause.
If you want to get technical, it flashes black - the palmflower turns red for the last phase of a citizen's life, and only starts flashing black-red-black-red on Lastday.
Go check out his blog for rant #2, where he goes on at length about how his Sony and Dell boxes are giving him trouble, and their warranty support sucks.
Mix-n-match hardware isn't what's causing his Windows problems.
I'm kind of surprised that they don't do scrolling ticker type ads in the blacked out areas of letterboxed broadcasts. Pleasantly surprised, it's probably just a matter of time.
What made you think the "Genuine Advantage" was meant to be your advantage? Surely nothing in Microsoft's history gave you the idea that they give a crap about anything other than your cash.
At least they're honest enough to admit that they think it's their computer and not yours - when you look at the desktop and see My Computer that's them laying claim to the hardware that you got to pay for.

If you run linux, you're going to spend time installing whatever extra apps you want with your distros package mangler.
If you run OS X, you're going to spend 10 minutes installing fink or darwinports, then install the extra apps you want using their package mangler & precompiled packages.
If you're going to compile your own packages, it's going to take roughly the same amount of time.
So where's the advantage of running Linux for a laptop?
Funny you should mention that - I used to be a regular at a Barnes & Noble near my old house, went in several times a week to work on projects in their cafe on my laptop. I'd stay 4 or 5 hours and spend 10-12 bucks on the overpriced food. That is, until the day I came in and discovered that they'd replaced all the faceplates for the electrical outlets in the cafe area with blank metal plates to prevent laptop users from plugging in.
Now I go to Borders, and recently I went in after work and found that that day (I'd been there the previous night) they'd had new electrical outlets installed next to every table that was against a wall.
I'm a book junkie, and between books and food/drink, I easily spend a hundred or so dollars a month - I go through three or four of their buy ten get one free drink cards every month.
And as an added bonus, the computer book selection is a lot better.

Does there really need to be a reason other than the unreliability of ISP servers?
Also, what if you own your own domain and want to send email out using it instead of your ISP's domain? Some ISPs are refusing to relay anything that doesn't have their domain as the sender, which doesn't stop spam and only inconveniences their customers.
1) No, PostgreSQL doesn't require you run it as root. The install file (you did read it, right?) tells you to create a postgres user to own all the PostgreSQL files.
You have to start it as root, so that it can take it's port and change userid to postgres, but it doesn't run as root - do a
ps -axw | grep post
on a machine with PostgreSQL, and you'll see what I mean.
2) No, you don't need to reboot the whole machine to alter tables. If you read the documentation, you'll find out how to do that from the psql client.
And even if you do need to restart PostgreSQL, you can restart just PostgreSQL - this is unix software, not Microsoft crapware.
And how is Apple supposed to find out the artist's cut? Do you think the record companies are going to tell them? And different artists get different cuts, even at the same record label, so it's harder to determine then you think.
I bet you're running fink and haven't updated it to cope with Jaguar changes. Go hit their web site http://fink.sourceforge.net and follow the directions there.
Before I went to OSX and the pain in the butt case-insensitive filesystem, I had a lot of projects where source code for foo was in Foo, and the top level Makefile would make a lc foo in the same directory.
Similarly I've run across projects where 'makefile' is the raw file, and 'Makefile' is the same file with the correct paths substituted in, and any other configuration changes.
You having kids is completely irrelevant. If the movie was truly good (in your opinion) for kids, it wouldn't have things in it that you feel are unsuitable for your kids.
You can't go around butchering people's work without their permission - copyright law prevents you from making derivative works without their consent, and these are clearly derivative.
Nothing stops you from watching the movie after the kids go to sleep or (amazing) telling them it isn't suitable for them and make them go do something constructive somewhere else while you watch it. Or for you to watch it in your bedroom while they watch some pap in another room.

Then you have 4 RAIDs competing for the spindles. That is going to _suck_ performance wise.

In other news, water recently discovered to be wet, and to flow downhill.

I tend to name lists/sets/tuples as N so that I can later do
for n in N:
foo
bar
for me, it's immediately apparent that n is an element of N, but maybe that's just me.
Get her a used iBook & a cheapo 802.11b base station. Then she can use it wherever she wants in the house.
Decent used iBooks were running about a dollar a MHz the last time I checked.
As long as they're charging by the minute, they have no motivation to make it easy for you to avoid calls.
They don't care if its a wrong number, just that it's one more minute they can bill you for.

You can protect the children by not letting them watch what you consider inappropriate for them.
Explain, exactly, how not seeing a movie harms children?
You having kids is completely irrelevant. If the movie was truly good (in your opinion) for kids, it wouldn't have things in it that you feel are unsuitable for your kids.
You can't go around butchering people's work without their permission - copyright law prevents you from making derivative works without their consent, and these are clearly derivative.
