  1. Re:times square on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's easy to do. NYC is abundant with BSOD's. :) Time's square, Macy's and all those Taxi Cabs with the screens on top of them.

  2. Re:times square on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 1

    That's not a display.

    Each window pane has a motorised banner scroller behind it. The banners run verticaly and have a different window sized section of the full image printed on them.

    When they want to change the image, the banner behind every window scrolls up or down one frame, thus changing the whole image.

  3. SubEthaEdit on New 20" iMac and Dual 1.8GHz PowerMac G5 · · Score: 1

    Take a look at SubEthaEdit or even try the apple Xcode tools.

  4. Re:FileVault on Mac OS X Update 10.3.1 Available · · Score: 1

    Filevault uses the same method. It creates a encrypted growable sparse disk image that is mounted upon logon as your home directory. diskutil can recover space in these images just as filevault does and i'm willing to bet that all filevault is doing is passing commands to diskutil to do the work.

    dragging an application to the trash starts an uninstall script

    I've never heard of this. Care to back it up?

  6. Re:Smarter intersections = Traffic Circle on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 1

    Of course they are an improvement. Consider that any 16 yr old can get a drivers license by driving round the block a few times at 25mph and you wonder why people don't know how to give way on a rotary.

    No wonder people run red lights here, I'm sick of sitting at red lights also.

  7. Smarter intersections = Traffic Circle on Traffic Light Control For The Masses · · Score: 1

    If they replaced every intersection with a traffic circle, traffic would flow much better. The only problem would be that americans would need to be taught how to drive first.

  8. Re:Drop the drawers... on Apple Releases Updated iCal 1.5.1 · · Score: 1
    I hate slide out drawers. They're not intuitive at all. They're eye candy based. That's my main gripe with Camino -- bookmarks and history have to be accessed from a side drawer.
    The side drawer in Camino is gone now. Check the nightly build.

    You mean the microsoft one that only likes to work with its own bluetooth adapter?

  13. Re:Third Device on .Mac Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    Using HotSync or iSync. I believe the duplicate entries are down to whatever syncing software you use.

  14. Third Device on .Mac Alternatives? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would sync to a third portable device like a palm or a cell phone and use that to transfer the data.

    Right click or ctrl-click in the text area box for the spell check.

    The database is still avalible using google's cache:

    Does someone want to whip up a quick perl script to extract it all from google?

    Also sysinfo contains a 10,000 pee cee eye device database as a textfile within the source.
