I am a US Citizen and my partner is English. A lot of people may not know this, but when you fly into the UK and you are not a citizen, you are subjected to extremely close scrutiny. You are required to provide proof of onward travel. Every time I go there now, I am very nervous because I may be accused of overstaying my visa -- not necessarily in UK, but elsewhere, like Europe -- anything that may cast doubt on my tourist status while in UK. True, my partner is English and we are not married, but I am basically unable to travel to UK at the moment, because I have more UK and Europe stamps in my passport than US stamps. I will have to legitimize residency in Europe by getting employed or marrying my partner, before I can ever travel into the UK again.
This further tightening of travel restrictions for the UK only portends darker days to come. I always imagine the UK to be a very friendly, open society. But there are some really shady 1984-style things happening in the government there.
He left out a couple of things I thought surely would be in there:
1. a windows explorer-style finder, where you can see your whole nested-folder structure all the time, if you want. Moving and copying files and folders around is a pain. Oh and, get rid of column-view, unless you can make it actually work right. The column width resizing issue really gets on my nerves. It does not obey!
2. Maximize just doesn't work. Why can't Mac OS do something as simple as MAKING A WINDOW TAKE UP THE WHOLE SCREEN?
On the whole, I disagree with most of the points raised in the article. And I'll take Mac OS over Windows any old day.
yes of course I will stick with Apple. My powerbook is over 2 yrs old, so I may even be getting ANOTHER powerbook BEFORE the Intel initiative gets off the ground. My reasons are: I like the Mac OS, I dislike Windows in general, I try to stay away from MS products in general, and I find that the Mac OS is less troublesome and has more support than Linux. I must confess that I do use a Windows box for web development, but I have to do this in order to test platforms etc, anyway. I may find myself picking up a Windows tower to tide me over for the Mac towers, but they're so cheap, I don't mind waiting for the good stuff before making my investment in a good Mac tower.
I used Software Update to install Security Update 2005-005, and my MIDI device no longer comes up for my audio applications. I tried to use OS X's built-in Audio Midi Setup program to set up the device again, but IT REPEATEDLY CRASHES! This is no good!
I haven't upgraded to Tiger yet on my macs, and Bonjour appears to still be known as Rendezvous. Does this mean I can't get my windows machines onto the mac network until a Tiger upgrade? My PC isn't seeing any Bonjour printers after installing Bonjour client.
Haven't you figured out that stuff is cheaper in the US? I'm waiting for my visit over there to stock up on a new iPod, Gameboy Advanced, DVDs, Airtunes... (I'm american living abroad).
The secure cert dialog is still happening to me in mail.app, even after this workaround.
I thought it might be a typo in the copy/paste i did, but when I try to import into keychain access again, it says it is already in there.
Is there a way to remove the keychain I imported, so that I can try it again?
Put tower in closet or cabinet

I know a musician who keeps his tower in the closet next to his desk, and all peripherals are connected via long cables. I also remember reading an article about some band in Sound on Sound magazine that has this kind of set up as well.

I prefer my iPod to a discman because I travel a lot and I don't want to carry CDs around. I have all of my music inside the iPod and the laptop. Also, using it with an iTrip, I can play any or all of my music on ANY nearby radio / stereo. Very handy for the car, or house parties!
This is good concise instruction, that was sadly left out of the CFMX install readme. I suppose it assumes you know how to use JRun from the command line, or to use JRun in general. Well, I don't, so its good to have discussion boards to figure these things out... its not exactly easy to figure out in JRun documentation either.
I seem to have successfully installed JRun but I'm running into issues on the CFMX install for OS X. I was unable to successfully implement step 4 of "Install CFMX for JRun", which is:
If the JRun server to which you are deploying ColdFusion MX is running, stop it. You can stop a JRun server either through the JRun Management Console (JMC) or the command line.
I can't figure out how to launch JMC or use the command line to stop/start JRun server. I'm assuming this is the problem keeping me from getting CFMX server to run on my machine. Also, how you set Apache for OS X to use index.cfm pages as default? I can't find the config file. I'm a novice at Apache, and I've never used JRun, but I am comfortable w terminal commands.
My monitor settings seem to have gotten reset to the "recommended" default setting.. lower res. Lots of reports that it seems faster, but I can't tell (yet?).
Be sure you leave the installed.app in the Applications folder. I tried to move it to a subfolder and File > Export stopped working!

My only remaining gripe about iPhoto is that its so damn slow. I was hoping they'd iron out that 'implementing the mouse click you made 20 seconds ago' problem.

It took nigh on 2 hrs to upgrade my ipod touch.
my Apple in-ear headphone volume control doesnt seem to work, although pause works.

Looks like Apple is just taking a page out of the old history books. Nothing wrong with that.
I totally agree with these points. I wish Mac were more like Windows in these ways. I don't care either way about 4., but 1-3 are spot-on.

Sounds good to me! I wish there was some feedback here before I update my iPod, to see if Apple messes something up on my system.

I just read about this in this month's Wired:
The Oyster Dock
It looks pretty cool. Has a built-in USB hub, for super-easy "docking" experience.
Why has nothing been posted to apple.slashdot.org in over two days? Is there simply no apple news?
So everyone who uses Solaris is a fscking genius, right?
I don't think anyone would argue that you can be smart and not be computer savvy.
So your post is backing up the article, right?
My monitor settings seem to have gotten reset to the "recommended" default setting.. lower res. Lots of reports that it seems faster, but I can't tell (yet?).
Nothing broken. Hooray!
No problems here. Powermac G4/350.
