I've sent feedback to apple about multiple-focus points. It's especially useful for those of us who what to use alternate hardware interfaces or two mice.
Start with Rome, 64AD, the start of the early church:
Reporting on Emperor Nero's decision to blame the Christians for the fire that had destroyed Rome in A.D. 64, the Roman historian Tacitus wrote:
Nero fastened the guilt . . . on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of . . . Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome.
Christus: Latin, as in Jesus Christ.
You might also check out the Jewish Historian Josephus (as many other have). The Babylonian Talmud (70-500AD) makes reference to Jesus. Or Lucian of Samosata who makes fun of Christians for worshiping a man (of course he didn't think Jesus was God).
Besides where do you think Christians came from? Do you think it's a modern phenomenon? While you may disagree with who Jesus was it's ludicrous to say he never existed. Pick up a book on Christian origins, preferable, for your sake, one with a non-Christian author.
15. No Date Display: Ok yeah, set the date format to display would be nice. I just glance at my iCal icon.
14. Desktop Widgets: I just Dashboard, Grab Widget, Undashboard and drop on my desktop. "Dev Mode?" it's a >defaults oneliner
13. Inconsistent Use of Context Menus: Have you ever used MacOS X context Menus? They're soooo contextual. If anything I vote for doing less in them. It would be nice to have a *.app/contents/context/ folder to store my own scripts that appear in Finder context items. I vote for more spacific context menus in toolbars (instead of "Customize toolbar...etc). But please don't muck up contextual menus like windows. Eak!
12. Documents and App Instances on the Dock: Stupid idea. Contextual menus are better (I don't even think I need to justify this- it's pretty obvious- you're asking for a Windows Taskbar). It would be nice to have to use a command-click to add/remove items from the dock. That would life easier.
11. Managing Window Size: I'm a big fan of my clean borderless windows. Try Zooom- that kind of integration would be welcome. And for those looking for Maximize...option-zoom.
10. Accessing Applications: That's what Spotlight is for. Or you could use Contextual Menus. Or better yet, integrate Quicksilver.
9. Backspace and Delete Keys: Quit being retarded. Fn-Delete is sufficient for a notebook. I use forward delete all the time; Especially Option-Delete.
8. Printer Setup: Explain. I plugged mine in an clicked Make Default.
7. Inconsistent User Interface: Did it ever occur to anyone that using different window art makes it way the heck easier to know what you're clicking on without paying attention? I like the various interface looks. Besides it's only inconsistent if you appraise it on Apple's written guidelines. If you put various windows next each other they fit together pretty well.
6. Laptop Screen Dimming: It happens in half the display sleep time. You can set it manually (or by script) using pmset.
5. Managing Finder's Columns View, Problem No1: If the whole column were a grab point it would interfere with scrolling operations. What you really want is smarter auto-width.
4. See #5
3. Managing Finder's Columns View, Problem No. 3: No idea what you're talking about. I'll throw in my own complaints though. How about sort-by for columns, and keeping the focused column in center (implement autoscroll left). And finally always expand the Save pane. No one wants to use that silly menu that only lists common folders. (this can be partially taken car of with a defaults write)
2. Finder's Hobbled Cut Command: Cutting files is stupid. How about a Shelf (available in Quicksilver).
1. Dynamic Finder Refresh: I agree. Rewriting the Finder would be a good starting point.
I just thought "they [apple] should make option-zoom go into full screen mode" Then I scrolled down two lines and there was your comment. Funny I always tell people new to Macs just try what makes sense to you and it will probably work. I guess I'll return my PowerUser card now
I've always been a fan of "middle-click" to drag a window by clicking anywhere on it. Oh yeah, and when dragging don't change the focus! There's a pretty responsive developer the makes a program called Zooom. If Apple doesn't do it, I already bought my $4.95 license. (discalimer: no relation)
Old and New Testament are sometimes translated as Old and New Covenants.
Old referring to the covenant (or agreement) of the Law.
New referring to the covenant of grace through (mod me down) Jesus Christ.
That should clear up many discrepancies that you describe. Course there's plenty more to argue but I have to finish writing this paper on ethnic democracy in Israel, so we'll chat later.
No historians of the day confirm his existence - the only writings we have which support it are those which are contained within the bible.
Hardly true. Of course we live in a world where people constantly deny events in history, often for religious or political reasons even if evidence is abounding and the event is recent.
Evidence of the Baiji dolphin, previously thought to have been extinct, was discovered today in New Zealand. The remains appear to be those of a tiny mouse-like land mammal but scientists say that that's nothing time can't take care of.
I ran into that exact thing on windows just the other day! Errrr. And what about control-q, or is that alt-F4? I keep trying to convince myself that the next version of Windows will be better- sometime when I see it I thinkdang, that's pretty good. It's when I use it that I realize it's still the same old junker. Granted it putzes along better than it used to but it's still to frustrating to use for general computing (that said, if I'm just browsing the internet throw firefox on windows and I'm happy as a clam...a happy clam that is.)
You know that pretty world light pollution picture. That's enhanced. It's not what the typical human eye sees at night time. The lights are much more dim from space. There's not too much to see with the same cameras that take day pictures.
The fighting in Darfur is indirectly because of global warming since it has changed the rain patters there so they end up fighting over what little usable land is left.
What? So we should try to reduce global warming so that it will rain in Darfur and thus stop the fighting? Clever.
Zune: zOOOO-oohn (Who even knows how to read pronunciation keys). A repackaged toshiba MP3 player released by Microsoft 4 years too late, with crippled functionality. The Zune is only noted for it's brown color. Some parts of the Zune copy Apple's iPod design, the rest of it (the brown part) was not significant.
That's Control-Eject then 's' for you Mac users. 'r' Restarts, 'Enter' Shutdowns. Though I've gotten in the habit of tapping my powerbutton (which invokes Sleep without waking the dimmed monitor).
Oh and if you haven't heard of Quicksilver you'll need it too.

How about a real printed manual? That should be included with every computer. *sign*
I think you'll find this helpful: /System/Library/ /Library/

Come to think of it they may have just gone by way of the coelacanth.
Select the Update, then in the Software Update Menu select Ignore Update.
Well obviously you need Quicksilver That's save you like five keystrokes in your reply to mail scenario. control-space, m, enter.

Here's a better link that explains "The above image is actually a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the orbiting DMSP satellites. "

at how many professors would accept "zero-day Word Exploit." In fact I think I have a solution for you.
Just watch out for the 1984 edition. Trust Me.
