    Modern systems scrap optical drives and good riddance. And yes I definitely agree, autorun needs to leave altogether

    The same reason we have drivers licenses. It keeps the roads (or the tubes) safer

    To open an app on MacOS X 10.5:
    • command-space (open spot light)
    • type "s" (in this case for safari)
    • Press enter

    This all happens as fast as I type. S is safari, F is firefox, m is mail, p-space-s is photoshop, t-space-m is textmate etc...

    Who still uses the dock??

    And serious kudos to Microsoft for turning off autorun- that blesses me.

    I wouldn't trust those stats. I think you can find plenty of 0-49's for known rampant infections on symantec's site. And I'm even Mac faithful.

    The kicker is that loads of Windows software only works when running as the administrator. I know. I've tried.

    The biggest problem is that you have to license and run windows in order to test IE. Yikes!

  19. Re:Browsershots on Microsoft's New Multiple-Browser Tester · · Score: 1
    Unfortunately it doesn't let you test behavior. You can't tell it to click a page. It's also hard to get IE 6/7 shots off there, at least every time i've tried). It's a pretty unconvincing way to correct IE bugs.

    Right now I'm in the market for a way to test IE6/7/8 on my Mac without having to license Windows 3 times. At the moment there's not an IE6 machine within 3 miles.

    That's how it is from satellite traffic into the Southern half of Africa. Except usually 11pm- 6am. And when they say bandwidth not guaranteed they MEAN it. Don't bother trying to use the internet at 9am or 7pm. I did all my online craft at 4am sharp and got my full 1.5Mb/s.

  23. Re:Actually one on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1
    Whatever. USB-A to Mini-A is ubiquitous. I use the same cable for my canon digital camera, my sony HD Cam, my Seagate external hard drive...my western digital external hard drive, my GPS logger (which also has bluetooth but charges over usb) etc etc.

    When I travel I take three cords. Two USB A to USB mini A and my iPhone cable. Because I have an iPhone and I wish I could plug it into the it's-everywhere-else USB mini A connector. Good day.

    PS I have a sneaking suspicion that this will not be included in the 3.0 software update.
