In this forum they duiscuss build 9A326 and ZFS. Some posters mention, that you can choose ZFS but it doesn't work (yet) and/or that you can't install OS X on it.
And then I notice that the official name of ZFS is ZFS these days: "The name originally stood for "Zettabyte File System", but is now a pseudo-initialism." Someone should tell Apple. P.S.: What about my rewritten in cocoay goodness Finder? Pretty please?
I could show you footage of a computer screen and give you nothing but a fan whirr, and you'd be bored and immediately looking around the room, and the sound helps keep your attention on the data on screen.
Makes sense. But what when more and more people use computers every day and are irritated because their machine at home doesn't have blip sounds? Classic Mac OS had optional sound feedback forthe GUI, but nobody I know liked it.
In the old television series "Space 1999" a nuclear waste dump on the moon exploded with enough force to seen Earth's moon flying through space past a different solar system each week. The nearest star is over 4 light-years away, so the moon must have been traveling faster than the speed of light.
That always was my problem with the series. Even as an 8 year old I thought: "Damn, they sure move pretty fast to get to all those places every week." I had less problems with Star Treks physics, although I couldn't have explained those either...
Just out of curiousity, how/why was it intentional?
People in filmmaking often use Macs. When they are asked to prepare computers for a movie set in an office environment with DOS prompts viruses and all, they'll use what they have and try to make it look like whatever the director wants. So I'd say, what you saw was Mac OS that was supposed to like like Windows 3.11.
If bundling is bad, hold everybody to the same standard.
1.: Apple has less than 5% marketshare.
2.: Webkit is open and used by at least one other commercial project (OmniWeb).
3.: MS bundeled their browser not to be nice to customers, but to squash Netscapes product. (Maybe you're to young to remember, but back in the mid-nineties people thought webbrowsers will obsolete desktop applications and need for a specific OS. And it was a time where peole went to a bricks-and-mortar shop to buy a box of Netscape software.)
4.: 3. was possible because they hold a monopoly on the desktop. And though there's no problem to hold a monopoly it is thought wrong to leverage it to harm other markets.
To me it kinda doesn't make sense, as you could preorder hardware. If I preorder a PS3 couldn't I just walk in when it's out and sales stuff would hand it over, no matter how many people are in the shop that didn't preorder? Maybe they are hired by some marketing company on behalf of Sony?
And here's what Joss thinks about "free advertising" (It's an excerpt from an interview, posted by original submitter gossi at Whedonesque):
Q. You've also done an absolutely smashing job of ignoring the massive amounts of bootleg "Firefly" fan merchandise. I'm thinking specifically of BlueSunShirts.com... [now closed -gossi].
A. I'm a Deadhead, and where I come from, bootlegging's a good thing.
Q. If the movie's a hit, and more official merchandise starts coming out, do you think there's going to be a crackdown?
A. I have no idea. I never have a piece of merchandising; I haven't reached a place in the Hollywood DNA chain where I can actually ask for that. So it's not like I'm losing money.
But even if I was? You know, I'm doin' fine. I have a job. I'm doing just fine. And the fact that people are making this stuff? You can call it "bootlegging" or you can call it "free advertising."
Q. Let's hope they keep calling it the latter.
A. You can also call it "the fact that people are taking it to their hearts." It's no different than fan fiction or any of these online communities. It's important to them and they wear it -- and that makes me proud. And I don't give a good goddamn who's makin' money off it.
Q. Now, do you have a favorite piece of fan -- I'm sorry, "free advertising"?
A. [laughs] A favorite.... You know, I have to admit, when I first saw the Blue Sun t-shirts, I thought they were pretty cool -- because it didn't announce itself, and I think it had a really good logo.
That's the browser (Microsoft created semi-standard) a lot of websites cater to (often out of economical reasons, due to Microsofts desktop monopoly, not out of the coders incompetence). Now Microsoft says it is more important to let those websites still look good, than to support standards.
See, by means of their desktop monopoly they pushed their browser into the market to be able to control defacto standards. This was always Microsofts game.
Microsoft essentially didn't care for standards. A vast majority of users used Internet Explorer and anyone who didn't want to risk to shut out that majority had to code to Microsofts "standards". This lead to "websites" that were unusable for anyone who didn't use Windows and/or Internet Explorer.
Now, all of that isn't news. Many people said so for years, accusing Microsoft of developing their own environment in what was supposed to be the platform independent WWW. Otherwise anyone who wants to surf the web had to use NextStep these days:)
What's new is that Microsoft officially says, that it is more important for them to protect this "IE environment", than to be standards compatible.
And the problem is not about
developers are only familiar with IE, then they won't know about all the possible standards
,
it is about the economical necessity to support the majority of web users. Imagine your boss when you explain to him, that the site you just build is totaly w3c compliant, but unfortunately looks like shit on most peoples computer screens.
Well, if you code CSS to standards, it will look pretty decent in Firefox, Konquerer or Safari. But to make it work in IE6 you'll have to add another stylesheet with strange modifications.
So MS officially acknowledges that they shun standards on purpose:
During IE7's development, we prioritized the work we did based on the web development community's real-world feedback. The engineering exercise here was choosing the best work for a finite number of developers to do during a finite period of time, especially given the compatibility impact of changing how IE behaves.
They created their own www and say so. Their goal is to make sure all the websites that are made for IE will look good. Standards be damned. Not that we didn't know that, but nice to here from an official source.
Only if IE is the most compelling reason to remain on Windows, which I suspect is not the case for most people.
As long as there are web sites that are built for IE (important stuff like online banking) this is a reason for people to stay with IE and Windows. I hear it all the time. As IE looses more marketshare, companies are compelled to think about shutting out potential customers. That will lead to their web sites being compatible to web standards. That will make one less rason for people to switch away from windows. That again will lead to some chair throwing in Seattle.
I refuse to read your whole post. Please try to use paragraphs or numbers the next time. But even after the first few lines I spotted an error:
You can't set it to default to list view or even alphabetized icon view
This is incorrect. Open a finder window of a volume. Don't do anything but change it to the view you prefer. Close it. All new windows of that volume will open that way from now on by default. And I really think an admin of 1200 Macs should know basic stuff like that:-/ P.S.: I prefer column view. I find it very concise and I don't have to use the mouse to navigate anywhere and open the thing I looked for.

Well, I mean it's not like other OSs are able to read from and write to NTFS, is it?
Wouldn't full NTFS support (or well, support for any FS more in use then ZFS today) make more sense?

Local or remote?
And I think it's one of the best ever made: http://www.stokke.com/functionality.asp?na=NO&la=E N&div=C&nr=01&p=Variable
I recommend it to every office worker.

Absolutely, then you can people tell to walk out after ep 5 and save them a lot frustration.

Some people like to differ over that.
I thought it's funny and laughed.

Gaaaaahhhh. Code to the already existing standards. The browsers then are meant to support your site, not the other way around.

I could try to follow your way of thinking now ... but I fear my brain could explode.

So you say it's an amateur website noone cares to read? And it gets invited by Microsoft to test the Zuma? Yeah, right.
