In an ideal world, all nations would get along fine, politicians would only be politicians because they want the best for the world and the people. In the real world, there are lots of international conflicts, there are coalitions of nations trying to secure their interests, you've got the...

True: the Israeli state was created by the West. Before going with the current location, the British and the other winners of WWII considered West-Africa and South-America as possible locations for an Israeli state. Palestine, at that time the home of the Palestinians was handed over from one...

I think the biggest problem in the Israel/Palestine conflict is the role of the U.S. in the Middle East (favoring Israel over other Middle-Eastern nations, supporting Israeli army, supporting Israeli weapon industry, caring more about its own interests than establishing peace...) [/B] The...

About the biggest plus possible.

IMO OmniWeb remains the best browser for OS X (actually the best browser on any platform). I use Mozilla a few times a week to visit sites that are rendered incorrectly by OW. I don't use IE. If Omni manages to include support for everything that isn't supported yet by OW, I'll never have to use...

I think they only send the data you enter in the text fields during the registration procedure, nothing more. IMO it would be very un-Apple to send "secret data". After all, this is the company that doesn't even _try_ to protect its commercial software against illegal copying (no serial numbers...

( You only need an extra Applications folder in your user's home directory if you are installing applications that only that user should be able to use (inaccessible to other users). )

Great review! -- It's good to see that people with a BSD/UNIX background like Mac OS X.

I always wonder how it is possible for someone to know how much better the Mac is, and still work for Microsoft. Take the MacBU for example: they always say they are Mac fanatics (and I'm sure they are) and that they want to create great Mac software... I don't understand why they don't go work...

Two most stated reasons on the web why Finder is Carbon app: 1/ at the time work on the Finder started certain things that the Finder needed were unavailable in Cocoa 2/ Apple wanted to show 3rd party developers that Carbon was good enough to use it for an essential part of the system...

Actually Clarus is part of the default OS X install. Back in March, after installing 10.0, I spent some time browsing through all those exotic new directories... and I came along an image of Clarus the Dogcow.... Don't remember the exact path to that file (and don't have time to go looking for...

Search macosx.com for threads on how to set up anonymous ftp in X. Decide if that's what you want/need. (Most likely an anonymous ftp account will be enough for what you want to use ftp for.) MacAddict also had a story on how to do this, but I don't have a copy of that mag (I live in Belgium...

I'll give it a try, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to use it full-time - I need every cycle my 233 Mhz G3 can give me... (but help is on the way: my new Mac is coming October 2001)

Check http://osx.artels.org (part of my site) - there's a screengrab with more OS X <-> XP similarities near the bottom of that page.

All those carbon apps that don't work in 9 are a _good_ thing: this means that those apps are made specifically for OS X. If Carbon apps are well-designed (= with X in mind, not simple "ports"), they don't have to be less good than Cocoa apps. Carbon apps should be made to work in X _first_...

What exactly is SaverLab? - Never heard of it...

Simply type "uptime" (without quotes) in Terminal window, hit return.

I don't like the way IE is used in Windows. I want the OS and the browser to be two seperate things. I want one dedicated tool for every application. (I also don't like all the extra features in the official ICQ-client for example- I use Fire instead.)

That's not a valid reason. There are Carbon apps that work in Classic Mac OS, and there are Carbon apps that don't. The developer decides how he's going to develop his app (what type of Carbon app he is going to create). Another example of an OS X-only Carbon app: MS Internet Explorer 5.1 (the...

Their answer was: "That's something we might look into."
