I consider it stupid to ask *ME* to pay extra for what device someone else is using.
Well, I consider it stupid to ask *ME* to pay to receive a call when I didn't even ask the caller to make it. Particularly a problem with SMS, as you can't even look at the CLI and hit Reject.
Roll on free universal wi-fi. Then we can just use SIP and the IM clients of our choice:)
The reason it works this way on the Mac is because applications are simply folders ending in ".app". So, when you drag the new version of iDoStuff from the disk image into your Applications folder, you end up with a shiny new version rather than the new version with bits of the old one left over.
I wish there was a way of forcing it to merge (say by holding a key down while dragging) for when I'm not dragging apps, though...
but there are still a few key combos that I use in windows/linux that I still haven't found a substitute for in os x, mainly changing tabs in a program like firefox
In Firefox: Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab. In Safari: Shift-Cmd-[ and Shift-Cmd-] (or use the arrow keys instead of the square brackets).
Most programs will probably use the same keys as Safari (except TextMate, which uses them for indentation and uses Cmd-Opt-Arrow instead *sigh*)
Second, window switching is abysmal. In fact, you can't switch between windows. You switch between applications. THEN, and only then, can you switch between windows with Command ~.
Try Witch to fix that. It has options for working with minimised windows, too.
Not sure what Safari you're running, though — mine uses Cmd-D to bookmark a page;)
As for the MS Office shortcuts, that's Microsoft's fault — just about everybody else uses the Mac standard keys. Hopefully they've fixed this for Office 2008, but I'm not going to put money on it.
And one more question (OT): Why would this mother get sued? If the video is used commercially, it is due to youtube making money from advertising. The mother makes nothing from it. So why don't the labels sue youtube for making money off of copyrighted content?
Because Google can afford bigger lawyers than she can, obviously...
I've done a bit of digging around: the machine you're mounting the drive from has to be running Leopard too. Which means my 500MHz G4 is a no-go for this until somebody finds a way to fool the installer:(
Careful — I tried to use my G4 as a host for Time Machine backups. Leopard doesn't even offer to create a backup folder on any mounted shares, and refuses to allow me to select them in the TM setup dialog. Currently, it seems only Firewire and USB external drives are accepted.
(I would be very pleased to be proved wrong on this, incidentally:)
Password protecting a zip archive still allows for a directory listing. Most filterers that reject email based on filename simply preform a zip contents list, and reject based on the results. Most filtering solutions will separately attempt to extract the ZIP for virus scanning.
Zip the files as normal, with an innocuous name like files.zip. Place that file in a password-protected zip file. Job done.
Google Checkout? Not sure I'd want to provide my full name, address etc to an organisation that already has my full search records. Plus Google Analytics tracking of other sites I've visited. At the moment, I'm just a number to Google, and I'd like to keep it that way.
there is good documentation to build Ruby on Rails
Since this is a Leopard thread, it's probably worth pointing out that Rails is pre-installed on 10.5:)
The easy way to set up Rails for development (not deployment!) on Tiger is to download Locomotive, as it avoids clashes with the rather out-of-date version of Ruby that's already installed...
I'll gladly call for the imprisonment of tailgaters, but not for the reason you cite.
If somebody walks down the street waving a claw hammer at people and saying "get the f**k out of my way or I'll crush your skull", he'd be locked up. Why is it somehow different when he uses a car as his weapon?
And yes, I keep left (I'm in the UK) except when I'm overtaking.
To keep this on topic: spammers should be made to pay the recipients of their crap for each message that was received. The recipient gets to set the price. Hey, that's what the record companies are allowed to do when someone uploads their tracks, right? Fair's fair...
...if they start charging those mouthbreathers who drive around at midnight with their subwoofers turned up to 11, they might get a bit of public sympathy for a change.
A webmaster monitoring what I do on his site isn't evil, if he runs the tracking software on his own server and it doesn't send data to third parties.
He doesn't know what other sites I've been to — but Google does. That builds up a huge profile of me over time. You know, the sort of thing we were all yelling about when DoubleClick were doing it? Except DoubleClick doesn't also have our search history, our email history (for Gmail users, anyway) and so on...
Until Google buys DoubleClick and merges the databases, of course.
You want to track who does what on your site? Run your own damn tracking software on your own resources, rather than using our data to pay for it, cheapskate.
Not true. All are in the UK, follow UK law and use UK currency.
Interesting. I come from Jersey, and we definitely have our own laws. Although they still have to get Royal Assent, which is what you might be thinking of.
Technically, the Channel Islands are part of the British Isles, but not the UK — the official term is "Crown Protectorate", I believe.
You're sort of right on the currency: the islands all use the pound, but issue their own notes and coins, though UK notes and coins are accepted as well. (Getting CI currency accepted in the UK without going to a bank is left as a fun exercise for the reader. Using vending machines is cheating!)
This is the nice thing about PithHelmet (Mac only) —you can set Slashdot to allow ads, but never animate images. You'd still want to block Flash, of course, since that setting only affects GIFs.
OK, so this means that, as far as data transfer is concerned, airplane mode (which turns all wireless comms off) is actually more "off" than simply turning the device off. Mad.
Presumably, to truly turn an iPhone off, you need to put it in airplane mode before you turn it off...

Did anybody else parse this as being about some kind of buffer overflow, or is my mind particularly warped today?
letter-spacing should work...

Thanks. Now I'm imagining a plastic model Goatse that can be used as an iPod / iPhone dock...
Pass the tequila, please.
I paid £3 for my jeans at Tesco. Can't comment on haircut prices as I last bothered with one in 1988.

No, that was last quarter. Brushed metal is the new shiny white now.

Yes, but it's also available in brown.

Would work perfectly... if the Touch had Bluetooth :(
