    Silly post counts

    In answer to your origional post, and the discussion of how many posts you need to be part of the community, you had 26 when you started this thread, and most people probably saw you as a newbie, not knowing much about you. Now you have 62, and people know a bit about you and you're part of the...

    Opinion On Paying

    I've had no problems veiwing half downloaded movie's with quicktime. It sounds like one of those apps that does nothing that I couldn't do with all my graphics and other apps, but the benefit is that it does so faster and easier. I'd pay the same that I did for a similar app: WindowShade X -...

    Now here's a pleasant topic…

    Oops... I had taken the word of a medical friend on that one, and had not checked it myself. Still, most of what I said holds true even if I got that bit wrong. I had a think about when I think a baby/embryo has rights. I decided the best criteria to use to guage my opinion is how late a...

    Ha! MUG posted to Apple's Mac OS X Downloads page!

    Just tried downloading it, and I get this when I launch (pic attached). Then whan I click on a panell to switch panes, I get an applescript error: The variable upapptabdisplayed is not defined. (-2753) Still occurs after a reboot. I'm on 10.1.3. on a DP800MHz G4. Problem still occurs when...

    Opinion On Paying

    I'm a bit skeptical about that 'Convert an un-finished download into a completed download file and enjoy' claim. It depends what it can convert. Are we talking merely one text format to another and one image format to another, or is it more complex like converting a Word document to jpeg, or...

    Just the ticket - not knowing what was happening with my memory was one of the things that pissed me off with X untill now - nice one! (it joins WindowShade in my list of 'must have' apps). Bernie :o)

    The new Apple word (not office word)

    WTF? OK, now I'm properly confused: Is "bang" the new Apple word? I didn't realize Apple officially endorsed words. Bernie :o)

    control-click works too, and is faster (I always navigate the finder with one hand over control - loads of useful shortcuts) Bernie :o)

    what kind of a language is english?

    Yeah, mthat was the end of it (I'll try and dig up the word). Must have had more than 3 sounds, but it was still cool. Bernie :o)

    SERIOUS!!! I need input.

    I've never been involved in a drug addiction situation, but I have had a close friend go through anorexia, which I understand is similar in many respects. My two cents are firstly, like CloudNine said, emotional support is the most important thing you can give. Secondly, trust the...

    what kind of a language is english?

    It relies on knowledge of early English public school grades (a bit unfair on Anerican competitors really). Written on your work you'd have the comment 'had', if you had errors in your work, or 'had had', if you had had errors, but successfully removed them. Hence: James, whilst Peter had had...

    what kind of a language is english?

    Easy - like this: When a friend asked me to critique his boss' report for grammatical correctness, I told him that that 'that' that that guy had used was incorrect - he should have said 'which'. Here's two harder ones: 1) How about 11 'had's in a row, in one sentence. 2) Punctuate...

    Anybody have the fake iWalk video?

    When you say 'fake' video - how do you mean? I assumed it was a prototype - whatever it was, it existed (too good to be a 3D animation I think). videos are on the wired.com server BTW: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,49463,00.html Bernie :o)

    mac and hack

    <off topic post>     Pet hate of mine - people thinking Hackers break into computer systems. That'll be Crackers you're thinking of. Hackers are the pioneers behind computing as we know it, and the open source paradigm. Richard Stallman (co-wrote the GPL), Linus...
