I have to restart Firefox every day because of the CPU usage for opening a new tab.
And I've installed Flashblock, because most flash animations and the flash plugin are written so bad, that it needs 100% CPU. I'm still waiting for the new flash plugin, which was promised last autumn. Maybe on Macintel Macromedia can make it not suck.
Pear is part of PHP. You could use PHP without Pear but in most cases you would install both.
What's sad is that a default lib makes such a bad mistake. It uses eval on a string that's generated from user input. It doesn't matter how good you check the user-input, there's always one way for the user to bypass them. Someone needs to review the pear-code for such stupid mistakes.
The problems is the phpBB guys don't get it. First of all the rewrote phpBB and still have an awfull structured code. And they use things like serialized strings in cookies, but they don't think it's their fault if it raises problems.
I guess it's because Safari is not that important. It's just a webbrowser. The important part is webkit. It can be used for more than just a browser. I.e. Dashboard or Editors or even the history of AdiumX.
And many webdevelopers have a Mac. With Firefox and Opera you've to important cross platform browser. They know how important choice is and they know every Mac user uses webkit - the don't have to use Safari.
The goal of Marco Boerries was to have an alternative to MS software. That's why he wrote StarOffice. In 1999 his goal was to have an office suite, but as service not as software. He thought the money should be made with offering service and support and not with selling the software.
That's why Sun was his perfect partner. He wanted to let StarOffice run on a server with thin clients. And Sun has and produces the servers needed for that. Now this thin client didn't catch on, but Open Office and Star Office is similar Boerris dream. And that had nothing to do with Koffice.
You can find enough about Boerris and Star Divisions history via Google - at least in german.
I'm using the Logitech Bluetooth mouse MX-900 with my Mac mini and my Powerbook and have no problems. Search for device and you're done. How does that not work with OS X?
But the extra buttons can only be used for Expose/Dashboard. I've Expose "all windows" and "desktop" on the thumb buttons and dashboard on the top button. Works great.
"FF doesn't let you control cookies as easily as you are able to in opera. " Have you tried cookie culler extension?
The suite had a nice cookie menu with entries like "allow cookies from this domain". It's a real PITA to allow a site to use cookies if you denied it before in firefox. In good old Mozilla it was a click away.
Even better whould be a notification like with popups or stuff and the option to block all cookies. So you can block all but see that a site send one, so you know why something doesn't work for example. And the notification could again have an option to allow cookies for the site.
It's actually the same as for popups and stuff. I don't know why there's only deny and don't tell me or bug^H^H^Hask me every time.
There are not too many functions. --without-mysql and all mysql_* functions are gone. That's how modules work in PHP. It still has no namespace (maybe PHP6 via Parrot) and thus the prefix.
They made a new module for different reasons. First everyone know the inconsistency sucks. But you can't just change alls mysql_* functions and break older code. Second mySQL matured. Mysqli is meant for mySQL 4 and adds some new functions like prepare or transactions.
Again if you don't want them don't compile them.
For the jewish stuff. I guess someone could need them. Like some people need to know when is Easter. But again if you don't need them don't enable the calendar module. It's not enabled by default anyway. Thus you're responsible for having them, or maybe you're using windows - I won't comment on that;)

As you see it's the way you want it. And every new lib since PHP4 follows the same guideliness.
BTW no one should use the database libs directly anyway. Use an abstraction like adodb or PDO in PHP 5.1. If you'd have a well structured code you'd never see the mysql quirks.
It's funny people think parrot is vapoware altough it can even run PHP code with pint. So they already made a huge step. Of course the last steps in getting it ready take longer. But they're working on it and I think 2007 is a good target for a first stable release.
Still I agree it doesn't fit Java's needs and I don't want to see parrot doing Java stuff. Keep it simple.
Resource forks don't exist in the Windows or Unix world, so copying Mac files to other operating systems was a bit of a non-starter.
NTFS has forks. They added that to support Mac clients in their servers OSs. Windows 2000 and XP use them to save thumbnails for explorer or the details you can add in the property panel. The syntax for forks is filename.txt:myfork and IIRC they don't count for your quota (maybe they fixed this).
Reiser wanted to include something like forks too. Don't know how far he got. He called it something like using a file like a directory with subfiles.
> Few people who code that way will put the start > brace to a function in the same place
Placing the function opening brace on its own line is the KnR standard. I would guess it is because the function line is a declaration and produces no code, while the control statements like if, for, while, do. This visually separates the declaration from the definition, which IMO is the right thing to do.
The rule I learned is that the opening brace is only placed in the same line if it's a block that can be nested. If, while,... can all be nested while functions can not. Thus it's IMHO valid to have the opening brace in the same line as declaration if it represents a method.
(Disclaimer I work on Buntes Fernsehen - whow saying that on slashdot feels nice =)
The download from aon.tv and buntesfernsehen.tv don't add to the trafic count. So you can watch as much Buntes Fernsehen as you like... if you like seeing the people you see every day for hours at home. And now there isn't even a monthly fee for Buntes Fernsehen itself.
I saw the PSP in Tokyo for 20000 Yen (~ $190). So the PSP is cheaper, just not in the US. In Europe it will be even more expensive. Amazon.de has it for EUR 330 (~ $380). I hope it will get cheaper. I could buy two of them in Japan.
What a pity the PSP was out of stock when I was in Tokyo.
Remindes me to the Netgear situation. I'm waiting since August 2003 for the source code of the firmware to the WG602. They did release a source. But the orginal firmware (the one I bought in the package) had a telnet server and the route command didn't work completly. I couldn't find this bug in the released source. Thus they released the wrong one. One guy tried to help me last year, but I haven't heard from him since 3 months.
