    It seems like you should be complaining about a deficiency in your mail tool instead of AOL users that don't quote.

    By the way, the rationale behind Outlook putting the cursor above the quoted text was supposed to be that you can then scroll-down and read as you decide at what point to break in with a comment, but people don't generally use it that way.
    If this were true, there wouldn't be whitespace above the quote for people to begin typing in.

    I choose to install Fedora by downloading the DVD image over BitTorrent on my PowerMac. Mounting the DVD image and dragging the files into ~/Sites/install/. Then I can boot my old Gateway system using a boot CD and install from my Mac's Apache server (i.e. http://192.168.1.2/~mbbac/install/).

    Apple actually licensed Xerox's GUI tech which implemented some of Jef Raskin's (Apple) pre-existing concepts.

    Watson/Sherlock
    They offered to hire the Watson developer, he turned them down because he wanted to be retro-actively paid for all of his Watson work even though Apple wasn't going to use his codebase for Sherlock.

    Konfabulator/Dashboard
    Both of these are inspired by Apple's Desk Accessories from 1984.

    SoundJam/iTunes
    Apple bought SoundJam and turned it into Itunes.

    LiteSwitch X/Command-Tab
    Please -- this has been in Windows for years. I've also heard it was in Next as well.

    Actually, the linked Dashboard is nothing like Konfabulator. It seems pretty cool and is more related to Apple's Spotlight than Apple's Dashboard.

  22. Re:Disenfranchised on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Every estimate I have seen have ranged from 150,000 to 250,000 which means that Kerry could still come out on top in Ohio since the vote differential is only 136,221.

    On the contrary, OBL pulled the October Surprise for Bush which allowed the candidate he wanted to win (Bush) to gain votes.

  25. Disenfranchised on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    And when he conceded he disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Ohio voters by telling them he didn't care about their votes. I'm sure the Democrats will lose Ohio in 2008 as well.

    I thought we were supposed to count votes in a democracy? If Kerry was going to concede, he could have done it months ago and saved me some time.
