  1. Mixed results on Enabling Mouse Gestures for Cocoa Apps · · Score: 4, Informative

    I've had these installed for a while and some seem useful, I've also noticed them not always working and/or slowing my machine down. I'd like a system-wide set of gestures for minimizing windows, etc, but this is for individual cocoa apps only.

  9. I've had it for a week now... on CryptoHeaven Available For Mac OS X · · Score: 4, Informative

    And I've been pleasantly suprised by the nice set of features, and the speed... especially considering the fact that it is a Java application.

    File transfer/encryption is a one click process, my only complaint is that I only get 2MB of storage for free... you can pay for more though

  10. best new features on iPod Software Update 1.2 Now Available · · Score: 3, Interesting

    IMO, The new software updated let's your iPod keep track of the play counts, so when you synce back up to itunes, the songs you played while you were out are accoutned for.

    That, and the calendar, just because it looks cool :)

  11. Re:opengl games on OpenGL Presentation at Siggraph Available · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    because 300 fps in an empty quake 3 room translates to 100 fps when 10 people are shooting all around you... better than 100fps in an empty room and 20fps when the room is filled.

    I've been seeing these in use for a while now, usually with homeless, drunk, hoboes. They seem to work great.

  19. Re:well you can't expect... on Latest IE Hole Lets Gopher Root You · · Score: 2

    I'm aware, somehow my sarcasm escaped you. Gopher was developed at the U of Minnesota, thus the name Gopher (the school's mascot).

    Translation of "Recommended" -- You'll need double this spec this to use the product properly.

    No, that's the translation of "Minimum Requirements" :)

  24. Re:Why not GTA4? on GTA3: Vice City Announced · · Score: 1
    I was responding to the Anonymous Coward that said "ok from reading the article its going to to be an addon pack....."

    Maybe that was my first mistake.

    My point is, what leads you to believe that the game will have " minorly (if at all) upgraded graphics/sound/what no". Do you have some insider info, or perhaps a link to back these claims up?

    Sorry if I'm not paranoid enough to question press releases about something as trivial as a video game. :) If they say new gameplay, I tend to believe them.

  25. Re:Why not GTA4? on GTA3: Vice City Announced · · Score: 1
    Maybe you can't comprehend what you read then...

    ...announces Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the follow-up to the global blockbuster...

    ...Vice City will surpass the unprecedented gameplay, cinematic graphics and immersive audio experience that gamers associate with Grand Theft Auto 3...

    ...more revolutionary gaming experience...

    Although it may appear to be a challenge to develop a game superior to Grand Theft Auto 3, our progress to date on Vice City makes me highly confident that we can deliver a truly innovative game

    Yeah, that sounds like an "Add-On" pack...
