OK, it fixed itself, I think. I changed location - and accessed a different network. The bad links went away... ...don't like not being in control though. Seems there is a requirement for a tool to clean up bad links, ie links that are not actually pointing anywhere, for whatever reason.

Hi I am using 10.3.5 and have a problem with alias not being opened because the original item can not be found. I thought this had been solved in 10.2... ... but there you go. It would be great if I could remove the symlinks - but everything I've tried so far fails because the "device is...

Arden - which quotations?

Hmmm, they are as objective as maybe it is possible to get, but that doesn't mean that opinion doesn't creep in - it does. I just don't take anything as gospel - and I don't have a Reuters or AP feed. So everything I see is filtered...

All 'news' is an op/ed to some extent (;. If you don't believe me, just look at how the same story is reported by different news agencies/journos...

This is my least favourite feature of Powerbooks. Probably time to write some software to deal with the problem. qwikstreet has got it absoutely right - geeeeeez, how many times a day do you adjust the brightness/volume or whatever? In fact, the current way round is just plain dumb... At the...

Apologies, didn't mean to rush ahead - even I've got trouble keeping up with myself sometimes, well, most days ;) Another day, another problem. Safari is great despite the minor limitations

In fact, if they are competent, then let me be incompetent for the rest of my life! (; Actually, to be serious, although it is only those who live there, and I no longer do, who can implement the solution, it is perhaps beholden on those on the outside to suggest a way forward and to oversee the...

Hey, toast, let's put it like this. are we any less competent than the current protagonists? At least we're not killing people...

Eretz Israel = 'greater' Israel. A large number of Israelis, including most members of recent governments, believe that Israel extends far beyond even its current borders (up to the Litani river in Lebanon, virtually to the gates of Damascus in Syria, to thhe Jordan rivers (and in some cases...

So, toast, your bottom line is simply that Israel is more likely to annex the Occupied Territories, than not... Exactly my point. And then, what to do about the Palestinian population? I look at what people/populations actually achieve by their so-called democratic processes. That is is a...

In what respect am I wrong? If I were wrong, why do the Isralis accept a government that is hell-bent of prolonging the conflict? Or do you thing th notion of eretz Israel is a figment of my imagination? The only way Israel can expand its territory is by conflict - ergo it tries to prolong a...
