The vertical fly on underwear is indeed unworkable. That's why you should consider a brand with a horizontal fly. No problems getting your dick through there! I speak from experience.
I second the Yojimbo recommendation. A few more points: A third item type for dealing with web material in Yojimbo is regular bookmarks, which can have the same tags and/or labels as every other Yojimbo item. Yojimbo uses an SQLite database to store all its data, so you can't use the Finder to get at Yojimbo's PDF's or Web Archives.
As some of you may have noticed, Adobe has discontinued its SVG Viewer, and they suggest using Flash as its replacement for web authoring. The Adobe viewer is the only way to show SVG content in Internet Explorer (that I'm aware of). If IE can't show SVG content, then SVG is effectively dead as a useable format on the web. And that would be a sad state of affairs.
So what I'm hoping is that Microsoft will see fit to support SVG natively in IE. That would be a good thing, even if the reason they do it is just to compete with Adobe's Flash format.
For what it's worth.... just throwing this out here.
Yojimbo (Mac-only 'information organizer' by Barebones Software) uses both 'labels' and 'tags' with its items.
Items can only have one label. A label has a highlight color associated with it. Items can have one or more tags, and of course items can have both a label and tags.
The 'label' option existed before the 'tag' option. I presume it's modeled on the Finder labels in Mac OS (a file or folder can have only one label and it's visible thanks to a highlight color).
Disclaimer: no affiliation with Barebones software; just a satisfied customer.
One time pins are rather nice, the only problem is that they are either cumbersome (having to request them and what not), or a target for gathering (as people will get them in batches, and then store them in.txt on their desktop).
My bank (Dutch Postbank, part of ING) sends batches of one time pins as a printed list in a paper letter. Pretty hard to gather, even if my computer was owned.
Sorry, I don't necessarily agree. A first post can certainly be redundant when taking Slashdot history into account. For example, I, for one, welcome our new $RANDOM_NOUN overlords would always be redundant in my opinion, even as a first post.
basically they moved to a new version of iTunes but kept the old version still working, even though people were downloading music and bypassing the DRM. To my knowledge, you can still do this with the old version of iTunes if you really want to, but certainly nobody suffered from the DRM being bypassed.
No, you can't do this. The DRM from iTunes > 5 cannot be bypassed anymore (with JHymn) and iTunes <= 5 is locked out from the iTunes Store.
He shrugged and said everyone in Amsterdam speaks four languages
The Dutch like to brag about their supposed multilingualism, but they tend to overrate their abilities. People in Amsterdam (talking about native Dutch here) generally speak two languages: Dutch and stilted, accented 'tourist' and/or 'conference' English. With a small vocabulary.
I've read through all comments with 2 or more in rating, and it seems that people really underestimate what Jim is doing here.
That's a problem with any story concerning MySQL on/. The discussion is immediately hijacked by the same old redundant MySQL is a toy database, just use PostgreSQL comments which are subsequently modded up to +5, Insightful.
Just out of curiosity, what makes you think anyone would mod that post as a troll?
This will probably be modded troll is a standard way on/. to fish for positive moderations. Seeing that the GP is at +5 insightful right now, it seems to have worked.
The best example that I can think of is not having the option to type in a path in the Finder. Certainly it can be done with 3rd party applications, but it seems extremely asinine to not support it by default.
That option exists by default: Go -> Go To Folder... in the Finder's menu bar, or type Shift-Command-G.
Indeed. I turned tags off a long time ago and haven't missed them one bit. It seems that the tagging system quickly devolved into a playground for trolling.
I don't know if the scroll wheel of an iPod Nano is a "touchpad" according to your definition, but that doesn't need direct skin contact. I can use the scroll wheel through a plastic iSkin cover. Granted, it's less smooth than direct skin contact, but it works.
Having Office available didn't help Apple make it in the corporate world.
Speaking as an employee of an 99% Mac workplace, I can tell you that having MS Office available is pretty important. Perhaps it's not enough to get corporations to switch to the Mac, but it's crucial in keeping existing Mac shops from switching to Windows.
My guess for an explanation would be something like this: you 'retrofitted' the appearance of those two girls into the deja-vu the moment you saw them. In other words: the moment those two girls appeared, you (unconsciously) went back in your mind to the moment before they appeared and convinced yourself you already knew they were coming before you saw them. Any appearance would have had the same effect; that it was those two girls was just coincidence.
apparently you can install iTunes 5, open a new account, never upgrade the software, and JHymn will still work). Hmmm...maybe I should just try that.
Yes, that works. Older iTunes versions downloadable here. I went back to iTunes 4.9 myself, I think the Search features went downhill in iTunes 5 and later (e.g. search for Composer disappeared).

Because the OP has his advertisement in a fake 'sig' in the body of his message.
I immediately 'foe' people who do that.

No, I figured that someone would correct me. So, thank you.
The solutions you mentioned don't look really mature yet, but let's hope that the discontinuation of the Adobe Viewer will give them a lift.

False. The only thing you have to do to overrule this 50% threshold is add "... IN BOOLEAN MODE" to your full text query. See the manual.

Well, actually, they do. The power button also functions as a reset button: press it for a few seconds when the Mac is on.
