Perhaps this would be useful in the field of accesaibility? This coupled with a synthesized voice, could also lead to some interesting hands-free browsing. For example in cars.
How the hell do you rape someone in GTA3? Is this some secret cheat I've been missing out on? I mean... who cares about picking up a hooker, paying her and then driving over her to get the money I just paid back when I can rape her instead...
400 times more? Who cares? The bacteria on toilet-seats are actually quite minimal, the climate is too dry which makes it hard for them to actually survive there for longer periods of time. So logically workstations - even with 400 times more bacteria - shouldn't be very dirty.
We have an immune-system for a reason, and like us it needs to be trained. Bacteria-hysteria is actually making us more sick. A real world example of this is my aunt and my cousins. She was a hygiene-freak when we were younger, washing everything daily, making sure the kids washed properly after being on the toilet etc. What happened was exactly the opposite. My cousins still have poor immune-systems, getting sick all too often.
Perhaps some people have frequent power-failures? That happened to me once, but then I figured: Heck, I'll try this thing called outside, that sounds promising.
What about looking at BBEdit? It can do everything emacs can (and a lot more), and you can even set it to the emacs keybindings. It's carbon, but truly a coders dream of a GUI-text editor.
Besides: Why did they add the friggin ugly brushed metal interface to Sherlock again? Arrrrrgh!
Kill brushed metal already Apple. It's ugly incosistent!

Apple Drops Mac OS 9

(My god, I can't believe I'm a Mac fanatic now... I resisted for sooo long too...:-)
Welcome to the club. We'll be leaving for a higher dimension come this September;)
Seriously, slashdot is actually a pleasent place for a mac user to be these days as more and more geeks discover the joys of ease-of-.use combined with the power of UNIX.
And look: Jaguar brings even more goodies to the table: Rendevouz, BSD 4.4, GCC3 and uhm...iChat... well... I'm still psyched!
Why on earth would you want to close a program when the last window is closed? This isn't Windows. Nor Mac OS 9.
And per Apple's interface guidelines a program should open a new window if it has none where appropriate. Check your Finder, Internet Explorer, TextEdit.
"Like it or not, MS has helped do one thing- provide a simplified base for the consumer . Not us programmers, hacksers, and computer junkies, but for our mothers, brothers and aunts. My mother need only know that she has a really fast Dell Pentium IV with Windows XP Home on it to go get a new program. The support for the enduser will only get worse if the number of different OS's and "modules" grows adinfinum. "
You make it sound oh-so-simple. Fact is Windows is already a tech-support's nightmare, or dream concidering that it pays their jobs.
The approach of Microsoft has been wrong from the beginning. Their base is nothing but simple. They have built a house of straws and now it's all coming apart.
A computer is not an appliance. It doesn't just have an on and off button. The best we can do now is offer simple solutions from the start. Unfortunally the abundance of Microsoft Windows have ruined much of that already.
So what if a few apps breaks with a specialized windows? It should give Microsoft a solid kick in the butt and make them start doing things right instead of using tired business practises and hacking on an close to obsolete operating system.
While I'm tempted to serve a cheap shot on your lack of good moments this year I won't. It's really a testament to the build quality of these machines that almost each and everyone of them still runs great today.
I never cracked it open to see how they did it, but I'm sure it was done at an ACM programming competition to facilitate the play of some early networked games.
Like that other game you-have-not-lived-until-you-have-played: Bolo.
No, really. You can't even run System 7.0 on PPC computers. 7.1.2 was the first highly 68K code-filled OS with system enablers.
You must be thinking about Mac OS 8.0.

September: Jaguar
October: GTA3: Vice City.
Get this summer over with already!

and really awful webdesign.
Oh well, never judge a book by it's cover nor a company by the use of hard-to-comprehend buzzwords.
I guess this will leave OS X to the smart rich then, wouldn't it?
;)

People are still making games for C64 too...
I'll also allow that Luke and Leia was also unaware of this fact.
Yes, it would be disturbing but readily possible.

Yeah, I don't see why this was modded as flamebait. It was an honest question and I learned a lot from it.
As a Mac OS X-user I was delighted to learn that Apple has contributed to the underlying technologies and the OS-community at large.
Yeah, yeah... offtopic... I know...
Oh my f*cking god!
. .. card... Finally got an excuse since I don't play much games...
Completely useless, but oh-so-cool... serious geek-factor...

Yes, it is in 10.1 robust and all. Check some apps that use it: Peak, Deck and Ableton Live.

Best. Troll. Ever.
You're on my friends-list.

Been there, done that.
That's all the frickin' real world example you ever need. Thank god it was on a partition. But I lost my entire MP3-collection.
Bad karma will do that to you.
The Macromedia MX series now uses stackable and dockable palettes. After using it for a month I can say it's neither better nor worse, just different.

Yup. That was the 7.1.2 I was talking about. :)
8.5 was the final nail in the coffin. 8.1 still runs great on 68K processors.
