  1. Re:Laser=coherent on Laser Shoots Down Artillery Shell In Flight · · Score: 1

    Splitter!

  2. Re:hear, hear! on Roll-Up Monitors A Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    Exactly. My CRT keeps me just as warm as my lover's arms. No way could a cold OLED do that.

  3. Re:Cambridge Display Technology on 15" OLED Display Prototype · · Score: 1

    Have you heard anything recently about developments in this? OLED and LEP technology is always 2-3 years away from a commercial display product. It's like fusion research is always 50 years away from a break-even reaction. I remember hearing about a 13" display back in 1999, but almost nothing since then.

  4. Yes! on 15" OLED Display Prototype · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I've been looking for new news about these for ages.

  5. Re:Best Framework for Mac OS X on Which Coding Framework for Mac OS X ? · · Score: 1

    I think iTunes is Carbon because until recently, they have been moving the OS 9 version along the same upgrade path. I don't think you'll see anything new in Carbon out of Apple unless it's an OS 9 port of an app from a recently purchased company.

  6. Re:Can i use ANY mail software? on Mozilla 1.2 Betas Start Flowing · · Score: 1

    I use Moz anyway, but amen to your comment.

  7. Good. on Online Auctions Patented, eBay Sued · · Score: 1

    It's about time eBay was brought to justice. Hopefully they won't escape their fate like those lawless rogues at Prodigy with "their" hyperlink.

  8. CUPS on Mac OS X 10.2 Technote Released · · Score: 1

    It's nice on a Window's-based LAN, too. I can finally print from OS X to a PCL printer attached to a Windows machine's parallel port.

  9. XulPlanet.com preferences toolbar... on Netscape 7.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Go to xulplanet.com and grab the preferences toolbar. Works with Netscape. I find it indespensible, even on Mozilla.

  10. Re:EFFECT on Netscape 7.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Another haughty, effected grammarian.

  11. Re:But Mozilla still has some weaknesses on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 1

    Exactly. What I would really like to see is a moz-based desktop theme engine that would make my OS X desktop look more like Windows 98!

  12. That's a load of crap on Mozilla 1.1 Hits The Street · · Score: 1

    Your post sounds it was copied and pasted from 1999. Mozilla is fast and has been for some time. I haven't even seen a performance complaint for ages, not even in the mainstream press.

  13. Re:OS X is great on Mac OS X Switcher Stories · · Score: 1

    Classic under Jaguar boots up about 70% faster. Much, much better.

  14. Saw and artist's grafitti version in '92 on Animated Ads in a Subway Near You · · Score: 1

    When I first moved to NYC I saw an animated man running using this technique in a lit portion of the tunnel between stations. I don't remember where exactly. Perhaps it's still there?

  15. XulPlanet.com preferences toolbar... on No Pop-up Blocking in Netscape 7.0 · · Score: 1

    This toolbar is fantastic and works fine for me in Netscape 7p.1. The best thing is that you can allow popups with one click when they are part of a site.

  16. Re:WOW an 80MB Hard Drive! on Terra Soft Ships Macs with Linux Preinstalled · · Score: 1

    Well that's clearly a mistake. It should read 256KB of RAM.

  17. Exactly. on Amateur Mars Satellite · · Score: 1

    The ham radio community should be pissed off about this use of funds. NASA needs fields of giant antennas to make out a signal from Mars. How is a ham radio operator going to see any benfit from this? Your suggestions would be much more practcal.

  18. How about the year 10000? on 1985 Usenet About Y2k · · Score: 1

    No joke.

  19. Re:Russians? on Scramjet Success in Australia · · Score: 1

    Yes, they did. But out of fear they would upset the military balance between the superpowers, the U.S. military sent Clint Eastwood on a successfull mission to steal it. Everyone knows that.

  20. Re:Hmmm... on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    Yes, Apple is behind the whole thing: iFly.

  21. Re:Which language(s) is (Open|Star)Office written on Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    No, MS Office opens lightning quick. Star/Open office may be slow to load, but it seems to perform well enough once it's been launched.

  22. Re:Sun's grammar on Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Yes, it should be "Apple's coming at them hardcorely."

  23. Re:The end is near... on Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    I agree that the default document format has to be .doc and .exe; there's no way around that for now. However, the compatibility with Word and Excel in StarOffice is excellent, except for macros. I think one point being missed here is that Microsoft's pricing schemes are making the corporate world take a long hard look at StarOffice. In my company, the CIO would not have considered making this kind of switch until Microsoft's latest stab at extortion. Now we're evaluating it in a serious way. If StarOffice becomes popular in the corporate environment, its influence could spread. IT managers and CEOs are starting to wake up and say, "Why are we spending this kind of money for a word processor and a spreadsheet app?" It could get interesting.

  24. Re:Summary on Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    The plan is to make it an Aqua app. The X11 version is just to get it running on the platform.

  25. Re:OpenOffice is not javabased on Sun and Apple Team Up for StarOffice for Mac OS X · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Same here. Star/OpenOffice works without the JDE.
