In Tiger you can turn the.DS_Store files off when using network volumes, but the fork files will still be there as they are needed to store metadata on volumes that can't understand it.
For example, the browser, Konqueror will go everywhere, even below the "unseen line" of OSX and yes, you can tweak finder to go there to but not without non-free software
For a long time now you have been able to turn on invisibles in the Finder.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON
And then just restart the Finder.
yes we can do alot of that with OSX but again, interface and third party add-ons... (webdav over ssl???)
This was added in 10.4. It was sorely missing before.
Now there is one thing that the frontlighted SP could do that my backlit DS can not, and that is operate with the light off to save batteries. If there is plenty of light you can see a old SP screen with the light off. If you turn off the lights on a DS you just get black squares.
For the life of me I can't figure out why they even give you the option of turning the backlights off on the DS!
Dear god yes. I still have the Mac version at home somewhere. We played it to death in college, and soon figured out the formula for high scores.
Play as the teacher, leave extra early, rations on meager, and drive everyone as hard as you could without ending up dead. Skills with hunting were the key, as long as you could stop and hunt well you only needed to buy a few bullets.
I loved when my friends befell terrible fates. "Gerald has broken an arm!", "Chris was bitten by a snake!". A snake? We are in a wagon! Where'd the damn snake come from?
And Yuzo Koshiro's soundtracks in SoR and SoR 2 were awesome!
I got the same sampler disk, and a rather generic shooter, and a CD-G sampler, and a Music CD, that I got with my 1st gen SEGA CD. I also have a launch Genny unit, but i don't remember the mail-in game coupon...
FWIW, I think that the rev. 2 SEGA CDs and the CDX came with Sewer Shark.
Open directory is (as I understand it) basically openLDAP with a config file and a nice GUI. Don't get me wrong, GUIs are useful, but if you want to go OSS, cut out the middleman.
Well, it's a bit more than that. With a few button clicks you can have a fully functioning Directory Service with OpenLDAP and Kerberos. You get password policies, single sign on for everything from mail to smb to web, and you even get a one click samba pdc.
The only thing it lacks is the groupware support. Firstclass or any number of OSS solutions can provide that.
The voiceprint authentication that Mac OS 9 used was actually pretty good. I was at SE summer Camp at Apple in '99 and the guy who ran the speech program at Apple had the whole room line up and try to imitate his voice to unlock an iMac.
Just log into the ADC site and then the 2005 WWDC sessions is the link in the top right corner. There are only three prominent links on the page, Store, Downloads, and WWDC sessions.

You obviously have forgotten the unholy power of Genesis Blast Processing!
Seriously though, most of the side scrolling Sonic games are great. I think I might haul out the Sega CD and pop Sonic CD in for a play...
Password policies! I had no idea Tiger could do that.
It can starting with 10.3. I have an older article about it on my site here. The article is from 10.3, but really just more of it works now on 10.4. Also look at the site for my login times script that uses pwpolicy to imitate the login hours policy that other OSes offer admins.
Last year at MacWorld SF, I put together a pwpolicy GUI in AppleScript Studio for a live demo. I also did a minor bit of pwpolicy scripting at WWDC this year. If you have an ADC membership you can watch that preso. It was fun when the demo Mac started to fall apart while I was trying to code...
I still, mostly, love MSR on the DC... I don't love it when I get bumped from behind by some AI driver, who could of simply not hit me, and _I_ loose Kudos over it.
One of my favorite things about Windwaker was that it filled in the storyline after the time of OoT. The fact that it was a dark, ominous story was all the better.
FWIW, every non-gamer I know thinks Link is Zelda anyway...
From all these posts so far I'm guessing that not only does no one RTFA, but that most of the/. crowd aren't car guys either.
It's a concept car. Meaning that it's full of wacky stuff that will never see the light of day. Japanese concept cars in particular can be rather bizarre.
Currently DS games are for local WiFi play only. This is changing though very soon.
Nintendo has a deal with GameSpy to provide meetup services online and soon DS games will be internet enabled, starting with Animal Crossing and Mario Kart. It was also just announced that Metroid: Hunters, was pushed back so that internet play could be added as well.
And yes, Kirby and Advance Wars: DS are great games.

Someone else might put the parts together, but Apple designed it. The design is what makes it an iPod, not who put it together.
Apple does a whole lot more than distribution and marketing. The iPod is not an OEM device like a thumb drive.

I used to think this too until I read what Woz has to say about the whole matter himself.
The short version is that he tends to cry easy and over lots of stuff, he dosen't remember being particuarly angry over it, and he's over it now.
Consider that Jobs spoke at Woz's dad's funeral service after the supposed evil Steve Jobs deed was done.

The password server is there to securly handle any authentication that is _not_ covered by kerberos.
Users don't always have a tgt.

Check out our site, or even just Apple's server site for more info.
Of course since the questioner didn't mention openLDAP to begin with,
Yeah he did, by name even.
Yeah, I remember the nice surprise I got when I popped Daytona: CE in my Saturn and discovered the joys of analog gas and brake via the triggers.
Sweet! Now my Timex Sinclair is secure again!
The voiceprint authentication that Mac OS 9 used was actually pretty good. I was at SE summer Camp at Apple in '99 and the guy who ran the speech program at Apple had the whole room line up and try to imitate his voice to unlock an iMac.
Long story short, only his voice would unlock it.
Why has no one on /. heard of Jumping Flash? It was one of the few good PSX close-to-launch titles.
And yes, BAT is awful, but I don't think that this was a top ten best games list, it is a list of games that defined the PSX.

I believe even in 10.4.2, it still cannot by switched on
Sure it can, just take a look here.

Then along came Windwaker. And with it a complete change in Link's image.
It's probably worth noting that Link isn't even in Windwaker. You might be playing the reborn spirt of Link, but he is dead and long gone...
Why did this get marked troll?
According to Google, they do use pigeons.

It's up to the developer to make sure they suspend. Some of the early Widgets didn't do this and it was a performance issue.
Dude. Hurricanes. Not network cable. No need to uppercase CAT.
Maybe he typed it on his MAC.
