  1. Re:Text Editors... on Python IDE for Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    TextMate is IMO, the best editor for OS X.

    wait this just makes me a nintendo fanboy doesnt it?

    Probably. Welcome.

  3. Re:Loving complexity for complexity's sake on Ruby Off the Rails · · Score: 1

    Ah, so it's like.. the JVM, the applet bit that is slow?

  4. Re:Loving complexity for complexity's sake on Ruby Off the Rails · · Score: 1

    Performance? Isn't Java pretty slow?

  5. Re:google? on Graphics Coming to Google Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They're a bit like Doubleclick, but they have their own search engine and email service too, in order to make more money.

  6. What exactly is the point of 'daddypants' address? on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I emailed this in as a dupe a half an hour or so before it was posted, but nobody pulled it. Makes me wonder if there's actually any point to it at all... worse still, the IE story was the last thing posted in the Apple section.

    I think the parent is just saying that most people don't care that it's based on KHTML

  8. Re:Er on Ruby on Rails 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It's not an application server though... It's a way of making Ruby apps quickly, and it does a lot of stuff for you, but you can override a lot of it.

    I've come at it from Zope/Plone, and I really really love it... it's good to just *see* stuff happen, without having to feel like an idiot.

  9. Re:Fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch. on Google Earth Beta for Mac · · Score: 4, Funny

    Looks pretty similar to the Windows version to me

    I think that's what they meant when they said ugly. ;)

  10. Re:Said like a true engineer on Woz Says Big Software Doesn't Work · · Score: 1

    Thunderbird for OS X is getting better, yet it still has brain dead stuff like Command Shift M for a new message, instead of Command N. Command Enter to send email is nice.

    I would bet he's using Apple Mail and Safari, actually. Maybe even Entourage for mail.

  12. Re:Whats the real issue? on South Korea Fines Microsoft $32 Million · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have QuickTime and iTunes.

  13. If they can fix stuff at their end... that's cool! on Google Fixes IE Bug · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As more and more desktop apps serve as an interface to a website, it'll become a lot easier to fix and deploy new functionality. This is a good thing.

  14. Re:Apple? on Apple Releases 'Highly Critical' Patch · · Score: 1

    GNU refers to the GNU OS, which when combined with Linux, makes GNU/Linux (GNU slash Linux, or GNU with Linux, as I prefer to say) - if GNU had just been a project to make userland tools, there would be no GNU prefix.

  15. Re:Mod parent up on Firefox Plans Mass Marketing Drive · · Score: 1

    Use Lynx over SSH. It won't even know when you sleep the machine.

  16. Re:Yes and no... on Balancing Use Between the Keyboard and Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Command N - new finder window.

    Command Shift N - new folder.

    You insensitive clod, I have to use Arachne with FreeDOS.

    What do you do for a living? If they won't LET you install it, maybe consider working for a better company? :)

  19. Re:Firefox is on the up!! on Firefox Achieves 10% Global Market Share · · Score: 1

    I think my point is more that having a link with "click here" as the link text is a really bad idea. Links should be on relevant text...

    ie. More informationis available
      instead of
    Click here for more information.

  20. Re:Not true on No Respect for Windows Open Source · · Score: 1

    Where does it says binaries should be free of charge in those licenses?

  21. Re:Firefox is on the up!! on Firefox Achieves 10% Global Market Share · · Score: 1

    Except that putting 'click here' on anything is really lame.

    Try using a screen reader and you'll see why ;)

  22. Re:Not true on No Respect for Windows Open Source · · Score: 1

    I had a hard time getting a free version(the official web page for Xchat makes you pay for the windows version wtf-way to alienate future OSS users, but ok) so I tried XChat2.

    What makes you think it should be free of charge? Just curious, here. mIRC isn't free of charge.

    As another iMac G5 user, I have a generic, Oxford chipset, Firefire caddy, with a 250gb disk in it.

    Works like a dream.

  25. Re:2.0? on Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I've seen that said before, yet I can't seem to find that in any of my copies of emacs.

    GNU Emacs 21.4.1 is what I've got, the gnu.org site seems to not mention this 0.21.4.1 system either.
