Oh boy. That was in reply to "I think part of the issue is patches like this [mozillazine.org], where Mac-specific code is used that can't easily be backported to KHTML." My point was that they were to stupid to recognize that the highly complicated Mac-specific code in the patch turned off anti-aliasing, not that they shouldn't do so themselves.
The bug where anti-aliasing keeps the the test from displaying correctly, of course.
And if you had cared to even look at Hyatt's Blog, you'ld know that the fucking link says "Disable antialiasing for the drawing of polygons." Nobody's as blind as the one who doesn't want to see.
It's one thing to complain about the general form how Apple gives back their changes to the KHTML team, but only an idiot wouldn't be able to grok what Hyatt changed for Safari to render the Acid 2 test correctly. And if that only gives a faint hint at where to look, it's a thousand times better than aimlessly poking a stick at the source with a blank stare to find the bugs.
Which brings us to this odd statement from Zack Rusin in answer to the rant in the last link in TFA.
Did KHTML become better as a result of Apple using it? Yes of course. KHTML became a lot, lot better as a result of patches we merged from Apple folks.
From a cursory look, that simply turns off anti-aliasing for the following display drawings. If the Konqueror guys need help were to turn off anti-aliasing, maybe they should read the KDokumentation.
"Also, part of their complaint is that TigerDirect is using the word Apple iPod as part of their online store, (if you go to the TigerDirect store, they have a section Labeled "MP3 Audio / Apple iPod") This online store sells not only Apple iPods, but a variety of other products, both TigerDirect's and 3rd party, many of which are the same items that Apple carries"
If TigerDirect thinks they have a point, then they also have a problem. Period.
And before you ask: no, being an "apple dealer" doesn't give them any rights over the trademark "Apple iPod".
Yeah, Apple's use of Tiger Center totaly kicked TigerDirect out of this search. But then, TigerDirect is pushing products competing with Apple's through their "MP3 Audio / Apple iPod" section.
The rebranding from "System" to "Mac OS" happened when Apple first started to go to cloners. AFAIK it had nothing to do with not getting a trademark for "System".
Slashdot Mirror
So Apple is in trouble because Tiger contains "Services"?
Where it says Service Mark, while Apple has a Trade Mark?
Apple has a Trademark while Systemax has a Service Mark.
Well, they only upgraded the dual-processor PowerMacs, not the low-end single processor one. Which is also 3 month younger than the "old" duals.
"The string 999999 was found at position 762 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted."
I just hope you're not using bash then.
Sure, if you post the same rant to the original poster.

Excuse me? Would you please make some sense? Where have I said KDE developers should ignore anything coming from Apple? Did you even read my post?

Yes, and that someone was TigerDirect.
In Soviet Russia, TigerDirect takes advantage of third parties!
Among the bugs they fixed instead was obviously not the "doesn't render the Acid2 test properly" bug.
The GPL mentiones a preferred form of modification?

Duh. They want to be the only one on that page. How else can they do any business?
That is his sig. His opinion is between the quote and the sig.

Countersuit: TigerDirect has a section labled "MP3 Audio / Apple iPod". Badabing - it's infringement time.
You are assuming that the majority of people do read more than just the cover of books.
"Whaaa! Apple denies everything. What more proof do you need it is true."
Sure, if you declare "needs a larger wingspan to *cough* lift *cough* a shorter body" the winning condition ;-)
Actually, you can cram 800 Economy seats into an A380.
