Once nice thing about how OS X handles this kind of thing (at least with crashing bugs) is that it provides the end user a simple dialog-box based error message, while in the background it dumps a complete stack trace + more into a log file that the developer can then request from the user.
When I take the doors and top off and hit the freeway, I am lucky to break 10MPG. Hard to believe you could make a Jeep have worse aerodynamics, but there you go.
This is on a 97 TJ 6cyl, btw.
My DL1000 only gets around 30-34MPG. Of course, I have a few more horsepower too.:) I probably would have bought the 650 if it had been available when I bought mine.
Sorry to reply to an offtopic post, but..
I have the same drive (it was the cheapest 250GB option when I bought it, I didn't buy it for the lights):)
The lights are neon, there's a red one and a blue one. No, you can't turn them off. The bridge chip seems to be a custom jobby as it gets reported as a WDC Firewire400/USB2.0 in system_profiler. It might be an Oxford but WDC has custom written the ROM to hide that fact, if so.
The problem was that Terminal used to set the TERM environment variable to Apple_Terminal which vi didn't recognize as having color support. It would work before if you set your TERM to xterm-color or dtterm.
Yes, you can download it onto 3 computers in that case. However, there are certain things that only the "original" downloading computer can do that the other 2 downloads cannot do, such as burning CDs and transferring to MP3 players. I believe that is what he was saying by being limited to a single computer.
Well, I spoke too soon. While the Finder removed the disk from the desktop when it became unavailable, it still had an entry in the automount/Volumes folder. As soon as I tried to open a terminal window the whole system went to hell. I had to make the disk available again, unmount the disk in the terminal and rmdir the folder it left in the/Volumes dir to get things working right again. Urrgh.
I've had this problem before too (it is damn embarrasing when you are trying to show off your Powerbook and realize you forgot to unmount your network drives before you put the machine to sleep! I usually have to reboot, even a force quit of the finder doesn't work..)
I just tried it again after 10.2.5, and now it gave me a beachball for 10-15 seconds, unmounted the disk, and gave me the control of the finder back. I tried it with an appleshare disk too, that one did the same old "beachball of death" though. The AFP one eventually timed out, but it was more like a full minute which is longer than most peoples patience.
Now if only we could get credential caching like 2k has.. hard to use a network authentication when you aren't always plugged into your network..

Everything else was right though. :)

Ignoring whatever other points you think you are making, since when does anyone need Apple's permission to release software that runs on a Mac?
That's gotta be some fast DSL to keep up with the ~3MB/sec that a Pixlet stream would require.. ;P
Autodesk requests AutoCAD for OS X feedback
Considering that Apple refers to the notes feature in its documentation as "Museum Mode" I would say this is exactly what they had in mind.
