Any particular suggestion for learning Objective-C from knowing C/C++? I find Apple's documentation on the subject downright painful to read (possibly the worst technical documentation I've seen, from a company that usually does so much better).
I thought Voyager had an arc. Granted, it was the same arc as someone standing on a roof and gently tossing a baseball up into the air off the roof, but it was still an arc geometrically.
What makes you think I am defending it? I am offering a suggestion for the poster to get the issue to knowledgeable eyes, if they care enough to pursue it.
That is a VERY different thing than defending the stupidity of the low level, poorly-trained monkey. And I'm certainly not going to defend whatever policy hired a monkey and trained him so poorly.
So where's my "mighty powerful logic disconnect"? It seems like the real problem here is "reading comprehension."
I am not disagreeing with a single thing you said. It sounded like the parent wanted the report read by someone knowledgeable, and I pointed them in the right direction. If the goal was indeed to get it before eyes, I helped. If it was merely to complain, I did no damage. Nowhere did I defend any policy, only describe it.
You realize that the post was probably deleted by someone in poorly-trained low level support monkeys, right?
Apple has a bug reporting system and an email for security issues. Use them, not the forums, if you want to make sure the post is actually evaluated by someone with understanding of... well, anything technical.
...was a Tandy Color Computer 2, later replaced with a Color Computer 3. Last I checked, it still had a following. I found that kind of cool. If mine still worked, I'd have interacted with them. As it is, I had a moment of mourning for the little guy and moved on.
But I don't consider either the Coco or the Comodore 64 still having a following newsworthy.They're both nice enough computers, sure, but communities dying slower than someone outside them expects has always been the rule, not the exception. A certain percentage of followers of old ideas don't trade them in for new ones, they just eventually die off.
I haven't had any of the problems you mention (X11 runs fine, for instance), but usually I wouldn't bother replying. Except...
You don't like the new network preferences pane?
I find it hard to believe anyone would defend the Tiger preference pane, let alone prefer it compared to the Leopard one. The old one was a horribly confusing mess, driven by popup menus. Seriously, seriously ew. The new one is so much better organized, the interface is stable (as in, doesn't change), and... honestly, that and/me support in iChat are my two favorite unannounced features.
I can't imagine why, but I don't seem to care what my coworkers think, what my boss thinks, or what my ex-coworkers think. Perhaps that's why I was willing to add them.
I do recognize that some people have the kind of boss that demand to be added to my profile. I'd simply have ignored him. If I was really pushed, I'd either let him fire me (fun times ahead!) or give him access to the limited profile.
Again, though, my boss isn't an ankle-dragging technical cretin.
The idea goes that the greater the resolution of observation, the more possibilities are collapsed.
As an example, consider the Schrödinger's cat-in-a-box thought experiment. The Copenhagen interpretation is that it's a superposition of the alive and dead states. We can also extend that and say we don't know exactly how long it took to die. Now if we open the box and observe the dead cat (let's assume), you collapse the superposition into a single position: The cat is dead. But the exact moment it died is still a mystery.
If you modify the experiment somehow so you can check the exact moment the cat died, when you check that detail you'll collapse all the possibilities of when the cat died to a single reality.
It's worth noting that if you're having a lot of spinning wait cursors, you may be experiencing early signs of drive failure. Not a big deal, just watch for other signs (like not waking from sleep, sometimes not starting up properly, etc).
I don't know if this would work, but it's definitely worth investigating. Assuming the videos were purchased individually, the chargebacks on those 71 games would cost them $1,065. Yowsers.

Is it per year? I've heard this over and over, but I've never seen anything substantiating it.
Is it a bridge between my IMAP server and teh interwebs? If so, oh boy oh boy, how much?!?

It isn't "as bad," but it's still noticeably slow to load on my Intel Core 2 Duo mini.
The move bug was fixed in 10.5.1.
They moved so fast on that one that in retrospect I should have reported it in Mac OS 8 when I first noticed it.
I'm less sure the download will win, but I think it's a pretty reasonable assumption in lack of evidence.
But the middle stuff certainly does count, since if a server (or switch, or router) becomes saturated it will need to be upgraded or split.

I think I've received 5-6 personal responses this month (2-3 on the same bug).

Yes, in that respect it's a bit like Primer.
I've always used Turn Airport Off/Turn Airport On for that.
Hah! Great thinko there. I've had those managers, but the big boss and my current manager aren't them. :)

I started typing, wandered off, and appear to have been beaten to the punch by everyone on the planet.
(And please note I wasn't trying to say this made sense, only explaining what the idea is.)

Indeed. There is no "overkill"; there is only "open fire" and "I need to reload." ((Thanks to Schlock Mercenary.))

One of the very few things I never saw shouted at Britain's bank in UO was "GRIEFING FOR SCIENCE!"
