Thats not really what he/she is saying, I think. I think they're referring to the fact that apple charges more for stuff on its site, that you can get most things they sell on apple's site much cheaper elsewhere.
Its VERY easily done within the GUI of Mail.app in Panther. In the accounts section of preferences there's a "Outgoing mail server" drop down menu that has "Edit Server List" as one of the options that allows you to remove an SMTP server. I'm not sure if this is the same in Jag but I'd imagine so. Hardly seems like a story to me.
I don't see how it can be when it costs more. I purchased a 12 inch powerbook with a superdrive (DVR-R/CD-RW), 802.11g, firewire, 2 usb ports, 32mb nVivida gforce 4 and a bunch of other stuff for the same price as this thing, and the prices for the 12 inch pb have since gone down. I hardly see how its a "killer." Plus, I love how everyone plays catchup to apple. For such a small market share they sure do seem to set a lot of standards.
This seems slightly weird. I definitely won't be upgrading any firmware on my linksys anytime soon, as the author said. I wonder what apple will do with its airport extreme now.
I think a lot of browsers will let you block sound on websites. Personally I think any sound on a website is annoying. Nothing worse than going to someone's homepage with horrible amounts of animated giffs and having it play the hamster dance techno remix at you.
Well, its not that I'm too lazy to walk down to the record store, its that this way is cheaper and I don't like paying almost twice as much for a CD that I'm just going to stick on the shelf and never use again.
They always thought the next new thing would be a different version of a CD or cassette, but its looking like the next big music format doesn't have a standard tangible manifestation.
All you have to do is burn the AAC files you download to an audio CD then rip them to MP3, or to an AAC that doesn't have DRM in it. Thats how I was able to get the songs I bought from Apple on my Rio.
This isn't going to hurt the RIAA and bring their downfall. Its going to allow the RIAA to shift their focus by providing a testbed for buying music online in this manner, and its going to show them that it works. In effect, this is only molding the RIAA into something that we all might be able to deal with. But hell, if I can buy my music in this way for all the time to come, I really could care less if the RIAA has a hand in it.

Okay, sorry I had to go for the obvious.

A Better Finder?

· Score: 1, Interesting
The problem is that for some reason they coded the Finder in carbon instead of cocoa. I've heard it was to show people the viability of coding in Carbon and that there was some continuity between the two systems. Whatever the reason, it wasn't a good decision IMO. I mean could you imagine how cool the finder would be if we could use Cocoa Gestures in it? Not to mention that it would be much faster. Maybe in 10.3 we'll get a cocoa Finder, thats first on my list.
I think not. go here:

Yeah sure, you've been paying attention recently, I can tell by your wonderful insight.
Amen brotha!
Thank you. Being a Marine, I want to go postal every time someone just asumes everyone in the military is in the "Army."
I think the nicer term is "clam-shell"

There's a driver for the dang XBox controler yet there's still no OS X driver for my Kennsington USB webcam. Go figure.

Or Camino, or Safari. Back in the day OmniWeb used to block popups, but that was just beacuse it couldn't handle scripting :)

Yeah well, most credit cards have fraud protection, so if someone uses my account to buy 2000 britney spears songs, I'm not too worried.

Works perfectly every time for me. Even saving to different versions of word. All my AW documents saved in word format open fine on WinWord as well.
Yes...People who comment on this stuff at /.

Isn't this thing on the main page? This has been happening a lot lately.
