Finder: Can't easily know the size of the contents of a directory (without "get info"), or the total size of more than one selected item (even "get info" doesn't help there). Windows Explorer is superior here.
In list view mode, you can see the sizes of all folders by checking the "Calculate all sizes" option in the "View Options", available in the View menu. To see the total size of multiple selected item, hold down the option key (also known as alt) and choose "Show Inspector" from the File menu, or just press option-command-I.
Marking text and then attempting to drag the selected text elsewhere - sometimes works, sometimes doesn't (the drag operation simply selects some more text).
You just need to hold down the mouse button for a brief while (equal to your double-click recognition period, IIRC).
Finder pollutes write-enabled SMB shares it accesses with garbage files like.DS_Store and perhaps others. I don't want these files on my Windows machine!
Nearly every program that supports copy and paste uses ctrl-c and ctrl-v and many keyboards even print "copy" and "paste" as hints. Ok, the Mac goes and uses the "Apple" key instead of ctrl, but it's the same idea.
I hope you do realize that the concept of shortcuts consistent across different applications originated at Apple, along with the first Macintosh.

It was actually called Copland, but I guess you could spell it Copyland in this case as well...
The awful yoyo-shaped mice shipped in 1997, with the first generation iMacs, however, they did not have the whole body serving as a mouse button -- the later, capsule-shaped models do.
The editor is simple to use, requiring no special video editing expertise, and works reliably. It does, however, make a temporary buffer copy of the entire recording being edited, so you need at least enough free disk space to accommodate the temp copy. I discovered this limitation after I managed to repeatedly crash the EyeTV software because I had run short of space. To its credit, the EyeTV application did not corrupt the original recording, despite my repeated crashes. That's a nice touch, suggesting some careful, fault-tolerant programming.

There already is an indie martial art game that does this. Check out Lugaru at http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru.html, and take a peek on the developer's blog (http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru.html) for some amazing screen captures from the upcoming Lugaru 2.
I like it! :)
Finder: No right-click > open command prompt here (well, neither does Windows, but easy to add with a Powertoy).

This contextual menu module for the Finder is exactly what you need. I use it all the time.

There are many utilities available that help with this problem, for example TinkerTool.

StuffIt expander will choke on RAR files containing Hebrew file names. Says "Invalid File Format".
Have you tried using the free command-line utilities available from RAR Lab?

Check out TextMate. It's a much better text editor than BBEdit.
The enemy gate is down!
Right on! Cyberpunk written before Gibson started thinking about buying a typewriter.
I agree with your points, but how do you know that guy has a fungal sinus infection? Does he have mushroom caps sticking out of his ears?
Do you realize that the shuffle is flash-based, and that writing to flash chips is much slower to HDs?
Oh my, yes, relish, and a dollop of mustard.
Perhaps you could try the Matias Tactile Pro. Here's a review.

Love your signature, Ezr.
Boy, did someone just miss the joke...
Wow, looks like you're the one who's really off base here.
The Mac mini uses an ATi Radeon 9200 on-board chip, so a binary driver from nVidia wouldn't be very helpful.
So, can you get Java working in Firefox on Linux/PPC? I still haven't managed to.

How the fuck is that a troll!?

Did anyone else find that hilarious?
Alvin Maker. Not Ender Wiggin.
I fail to see how relevant is the fact that the company doesn't produce anything else to the already unexistent security of a pizza box.
(BTW, it's spelled sight).
Thanks man, that made my day.
