Incidentally, the people who removed Help Viewer altogether, or did things like chmod 000 (without setting it back) will be screwed and unable to properly install this update. Hopefully there's not too many of those people...
If you did the chmod fix, the download from software update will install -- but SU won't recognize that it has done so. That's what happened to me. Disk Utility's "Repair Permissions" fixed the changed permissions, and then all was back to normal.
Yeah, it's a piece of cake. I have a first-generation iPod; I used it to boot when the Panther betas were coming out every other day, so I didn't have to hose my Jag install.
The problem: no object is truly "solid." You might push on one end of the rod -- how long it takes the force to propogate across the galaxy is another question.
Now that Jobs scared the competition into action, he's got to keep the machine growing. International iTunes store access -- and Windows access -- are critical to maintain the early victory.
Yes, you're right that the x-in-a-circle appears to be a standard widget. Sigh. Even Camino uses it in the redesigned download manager. Strangely, I preferred the old way Chimera did downloads -- you clicked, a window opened, showed the progress, then went away. Now, in Camino, a download opens the manager, and a two-inch deep panel describes the download in progress... and then stays open. The next download adds another two inches to the manager window. Etc.
Which is where these new "standard" close buttons come in. Each download panel has its own button; when all are closed, the 2-inch window tells you there's nothing to display. Very pVT.
The red stoplight closes the whole thing, of course. I'm mostly irritated by the beanstalk window; it could be very easily refined with a preference setting or two. In the meantime it leaves me pining for the IE download manager. Yuk.
Sorry about that widget mistake. I've been running Macs since 1985. First time I'd ever seen it -- and I've happily adapted to OSX.
Both Safari v64 and Camino seem a bit faster, especially Camino. Also,.7 seems considerably more stable than Chimera.6 was. Chimera would crash pretty often if I had, say, three or four windows open, each with five or six tabs. I haven't been able to reproduce that with Camino.
In Process Viewer, Camino seems a bit more memory efficient, particularly with several tabs open.
I prefer the mass-bookmark (tab group? favorite folder?) approach that Camino uses over Safari's implementation, which still seems pretty crude. I get where I need to be in fewer clicks with Camino. Not to say that Safari won't get better.
Rendering-wise, I think they look about the same, though I prefer the Camino widgets and layout, not to mention the tab metaphor logic. On the other hand, the Safari tabs each have their own close button, albeit a non-standard "x" in a circle... actually I'm not sure whether that works or not. It wastes space on the tab bar, that's for sure.
Now, what I want to see is the ability to make one's home page a tab group. That seems pretty obvious.
I have a weird feeling that the tabs will be metaphorically connected to the bookmark bar, not the page itself. After all, bookmarks will have to become capable of holding several tabs. Maybe in the final the tabs will dance around in weird ways when a new bookmark is selected.
It still is silly.
Also I've noticed that, unlike Chimera, the tab width is maximum-limited. Also not as good.
I made sure my main library was "default," then installed iPhoto2.0. It installed fine, no reboot. I opened it and got a needless intro screen, and then after a few seconds, a window telling me I had to change the format of my picture folder. (1200 shots, most jpgs), fine, no rejects, one minute maybe. Then I quit the app, started iPLM1.01, changed libraries, and restarted iPhoto. Same sequence, no problem, took longer because the library was bigger.
Indeed. It will get interesting when the hackers are using the visualization tools to hack, not just providing them for the audience. That's "Neuromancer."
Christ, I know that correct spelling isn't allowed on Slashdot, but if the people running the world spell naive "knaive," I fucking give up. Even Bill could do better than that.
Nope. IANAQP. However, I was brought up by one (my father) and I asked this very question of him when, in my youth, I was exploring phenomenology and related subjects. His explanation was that the very nature of quantum theory eliminated the possibility of a set of so-far unseen background mechanics.
I'd be interested to hear if this is still believed to be the case. There's a 50 percent chance I'm wrong.

Ah, but nicotine increases focus, and therefore efficiency. Viruses are a time-wasting distraction.
Indeed. It's good to see Mr. Stross's name once in a while.
Hey Charlie, remember D. West?
For those of you who aren't familiar, Charles Stross is one of Britain's hot young SF writers. Check out the novel "Singularity Sky," from Ace Books.

I agree, I'm getting tired of the two hours a day on the FX channel.
Oh, wait. You said "buffer."
the website hasn't flown untethered either.
