  1. Re:Newbie OSX user... on Apple Design Award Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    What menu?

    I wish I could offer you help with just the info you've given, but the missing piece of information is kind of the crux of the matter.

  2. Way to go omni on Apple Design Award Winners Announced · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm kind of surprised OmniOutliner didn't get a nod. Like OmniGraffle, it's an impressive show of what cocoa can do. I'm guessing they just didn't have version 2.0 out in time.

    Oh, and LaunchBar. I can't live without that.

  3. Live and learn on Root as Primary Login: Why Not? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hate to say it, but they're going to have to get burned before they understand why they shouldn't log in as root all the time. Everyone I know has rm -rf'ed something important once, but just once.

    A quick glance at my logfiles suggests Korea is the current leader.

    Yes, folks, the answer was Korea. Thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

  5. Re:No oxygen?? on Fire Extinguisher Balls · · Score: 1

    I for one wouldn't mind taking my last breath, knowing that my machines would survive.

    Then again, I don't have a whole lot to live for.

  6. Re:No oxygen?? on Fire Extinguisher Balls · · Score: 1

    The average human can't last more than a few minutes without oxygen. Do you ever see firefighters just coat a fire with retardant for a few minutes and then head home?

    Fires can make use of very low oxygen environments and then start back up when oxygen returns. Humans cannot.

  7. Re:invented? on Fire Extinguisher Balls · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a real beaut, but doesn't it seem a bit ornate for something you're going to lob into a fire with hopes that it will shatter?

    Manufacturers had tons of class back then.

    Except for the noise, isn't this what halon systems do? It's an accepted risk for some situations.

    True enough, all of it.

    The SMP thing didn't bother the SMP FreeBSD box next to me one bit.

    "If you want to give Linux a run for it's money, you can't just sit on your butt."

    You've got it all wrong, these aren't businesses. It's not a competition. Nobody wants to see the other guy go under. It's all about cooperation.

    I think the lack of BSD projects is best explained by the huge number of Linux projects. Linux is cool, it's flashy, it goes with your gucci shoes, baby. It excites the hell out of people, which is a really good thing. Lots and lots of projects get created.

    FreeBSD, on the other hand, isn't so exciting. There's not a fire under anyone's ass to get things done, since things are working pretty well as is.

    I could be wrong, and if I am (even just a little bit), I'm sure someone will by kind enough to point out how.

    Oh, and if this was a troll, bravo. No offense or anything, it just kind of has that ring to it.

    It wasn't modded down. I'm kind of a bastard, and have posted some trolls in the past, so I post at 0.

    I do love FreeBSD, though, and I honestly do feel a great appreciation for jkh's work. Since I'm posting a second time, thanks again, Jordan.

    Oh, and I've given up trolling. It's just so freaking overdone.

    You've done me nothing but right.

    Thanks a million for all your hard work.

    Export size: See where you export and it says maximum size? There you go.

    Now you don't need the book.

    On second thought, you probably do.

  14. Wait a minute... on iPhoto Book Tackles Version Issues · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does anyone really need a book on iPhoto? How long is this book, four pages?

    I understand that some people are just plain stupid, but if they're too dumb to figure out iPhoto they're probably too dumb to read.

    I have a feeling this book covers a lot of digital photography subjects completely unrelated to iPhoto.

    Neat trick with the updates, though.

    Your insightful comment has shown me the error in my ways.

    If anyone would like to claim my $9000 in Macs and Mac Equipment before I toss it all into a pile and burn it, get in touch.
