Here we are. This site has links and downloads for the plugin, plus some docs and tools. Most of the examples on their site won't be there anymore. However, the MCF version of the Java API is up and running.
Restart machine (power key and 'r' or "Special" menu in Finder, hold down 'c' key at startup.
type 'option-command-w' to close all open Finder windows (use Application switcher shortcuts to switch to and hide other apps as necessary). Use arrow keys or letter shortcuts to select the disk. Type 'Command-Y' to Put Away (see File menu).
Log in as ">console" (haven't actually done this yet).
Note that the shortcuts in #2 above are user definable, add the option key to hide the app you are switching away from.
That's going to be very unpopular in my office when new systems get rolled out. I've got project managers with 15-20 items in their QuickLaunch Tray.
Of course, when the Dock in OS X starts to fill the bottom of the screen, navigating around got a little tricky. For me (today) that point was when I was jumping between 5 apps and 8 windows so I could crib data while installing tomcat (something isn't right in tcsh, and I can't quite find where to point $JAVA_HOME to,. Yet).
Actually, you can open windows in the new Finder. In one of the Preference panels (General, iirc) there's the choice for Open New Window or Open in Place (holding down Option always reverse your pref).
Not that there aren't glaring deficiencies. List and Icon windows aren't *nearly* as aestheticaly pleasing as under OS 9. ANd managing lots of windows and open documents is a train wreck.
Of course, the beta doesn't expire until May, so there's lots of time for work. And there's already an Apple Menu replacement available.
I've been waiting for Apple to do "seriously limited editions" in various school colors. An iMac is close enough in shape to a football helmet for them to look very good. They'd probably sell very well through alumni associations.
I wonder how many a university would have to special order for Apple to do a run in the college colors.
DP4 did support an Intellimouse, comp-lete with wheel and right-button support. I'd expect that the real "no USB or Firewire support" business is just due to a lack of native drivers for a LOT of things.
Long answer: in the example, replace ""http://www.stupidsite.com/" with the domain name in question. The pithy comment substituting for the path is obviously going to generate a 404. All of these sites are marketing driven (or they wouldn't annoy a geek) so someone will be examining the logs. If no one is examing the logs, then they're Clueless and Doomed anyway, so don't worry about it.
Nope. I haven't heard this name before. But I have heard of the concept.

Actually, the Japanese embassy in Washinton DC had to drag a typist away from a party, sober him up, and then get him started on typing their declaration. When Nomura went to present it to Sect'y of State Hull (a few hours after the attack), Hull had already read the darn thing.
They were supposed to deliver the declaration at 8am Pearl Harbor time, they were just (for very small values of 'just') late with it.
TiVo and it's ilk are pretty sexy devices. I want one. Microsoft would have to be simply nuts to pass up the oportunity to add a very desireable feature to the X-box.
Of course, Sony put Firewire ports onto the PS2... And those HD prices will come down ($799 for 37GB a few months ago). They'd just need a disk with the software on it.
Naahhhh, Sony'd never go for it, I'm hallucinating again.
Okay, then can you give a few pointers on how to keep the two SMS client apps from locking up a Win98 SE system on a regular basis ? We decided we were better off manually installing software than in dealing with a mob of angry villagers.
I have both a Billpoint and a PayPal account. I find the PayPal account easier to use with eBay than Billpoint is. Why ? Because Billpoint is linked only to individual items unless the seller takes the trouble [1] to create an invoice. PayPal makes it easier to pay for multiple items from a single seller.
[1] I haven't seen the seller side of this transaction, but the people I've done business with are agoing to be adding up a total with shipping anyway. Whay add in the extra step that BillPoint takes ? Unless Billpoint makes an easy tool for managing transactions, they'll be left in the cold.
I'd really like them to set up a usability lab. Videocameras, staff that knows how to DO usability testing, test subjects (or contracts companies to find them). All that.
There's one big reason for Sony to not be able to sue Connectix under the DMCA. Virtual GameStation came out in 1998 (iirc) and the DMCA hadn't been enacted yet. QED.
As a longtime Mac user with a three-button mouse (Contour UniMouse- very comfortable) I've never been quite sure why they went with, and stick with, a one-button mouse.
Then, on a helpdesk contract, I had to spend 20 godawful minutes explaining to someone how to right-click and get the Properties for a shortcut on a Win98 desktop. I repeat, twenty (20) minutes.
After that experience I undertsand why Apple's original research tended towards a no-button mouse. That might have been overkill on ease of use, and probably been a killer for RSI, but I can see where they were going with the idea.
Hmm... I'm not doing much development on Linux , but I do tinker with SOAP and XML-RPC using Frontier (The Linux version is under development, but I've seen screenshots of it running under WINE). Frontier is an odd duck, but it's a good system for developing web-database projects.
There are also lots of links to Perl, Python or what have you implementations of SOAP. I think some of those folks would count as being in the Linux world.
Microsoft is going for a Carbonized port of Office to OS X - i.e. the updated Mac API. They're talking about a Cocoa version (the snazzy new API's in OS X) sometime afterwards. They are going this way ebcause they can support OS 9 and X with the same codebase whereas a Cocoa version would only run on OS X.

Practice may well make perfect in this case.

That gets about a third of my spam. I'm probably going to have to add overseas domains, but this works for now.

Most notably, the developers did a lot of work on the SOAP specs. See Frontier and SOAP or the search results page.
