There's a difference between nit-picking and addressing specific points of a post. You nit-picked (pointing out my board rule violations), while I addressed specific points (game demo time limits, addressing the developers over fair pricing, etc.). The short and skinny of this thread is that...

Thanks for the heads-up, LeoTheLion89. My post has been edited as such. Now that the offending points have been edited and/or taken out, you're welcome to go back and actually address the content of my post rather than nit-picking it to death on technicalities. I eagerly await your analysis.

How are you checking your texts? Are you sliding the notifications in the lock screen notification center (which take you directly to the text), or are you unlocking your phone, touching the "Messages" application icon, and then checking them that way? Do you get to actually see your texts...

60 minutes is plenty of time. You obviously want more than 60 minutes, meaning you're interested enough to want to play more. So it's time to buy. If you buy a game and don't feel it's "worth it," then you have something to complain to the developer about (although I would suggest using much...

I don't know, and the only people that have that answer for you are the programmers at BigFishGames. I would suspect they use a standard way of storing demo time, but just because all 5 of their games, for example, do it a certain way does NOT mean that the 6th game they make will do it the...

Yes. And you can save/export them in industry-standard formats like EPS.

Nothing is going to get you a parity on features for free. InkScape is a very capable vector graphics editor, and can do a lot of the same things Illustrator can. If you're looking for a piece of software that does 100% of what Adobe Illustrator does, then your only choice is Adobe...

There isn't a standard way that software writers do this, so a blanket "do this to reset demo time limit" procedure won't work. Some vendors store demo time limits in preference files, some in Application Support files, and some actually store hidden, binary files in a specific folder (and...

This is a good idea. What, precisely, have you done to ensure that developers adopt this behavior, other than simply holding that opinion? Have you submitted documentation or recommendations to any of the OS development teams? Have you tried to make it a UNIX standard? If it's not...

Have you tried right-clicking the DVD icon on the computer and selecting something similar to "eject" or "open tray" from the menu that pops up?

OS X will not simply erase a hard drive by merely plugging it into the computer -- it will always prompt you before doing so (typically by displaying a dialog that says something akin to "I don't recognize the format of this drive. Would you like to initialize it?"). If you plugged in a USB...

The "Application Support" folder and the "Preferences" folder are different, and it seems that perhaps you're under the impression that preferences (registrations, etc.) are in "Application Support," which is not necessarily true. Application Support contains a number of different things for...

An alternative to Adobe illustrator is InkScape: http://inkscape.org/ Available for Mac OS X 10.6 on Intel, for free. Requires X11.

Then realize that when you say, "I read..." or "I heard..." without providing your source, people may find it hard to believe you, or they may take your suggestions with a rather large grain of salt. Just a heads-up. Having such problems with organization and memory doesn't benefit anyone.

There is no difference in hardware between a Mac and a Hackintosh. Apple doesn't manufacture any of the parts for their Macs (save for the enclosures) -- everything inside a Mac is Intel, Western Digital, nVidia, AMD, Broadcom, etc. -- the same stuff you can buy off-the-shelf. A true-blue Mac...

When you say "I heard from..." or "I read that..." it's nice to provide a link to wherever you heard or read it from, like so: http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-112196.html This thread gives some insight as to what hardware can boot from USB, why it can or cannot boot...

Some PowerPC-based Macs will, in fact, boot from certain versions of OS X over USB. Your eMac is listed as not being able to, but it very well might with alternate bootloaders or more recent versions of OS X. Just because your eMac does it doesn't mean that all eMacs, prior and after yours...

That screenshot does not prove that you can successfully boot from a USB device. That screenshot merely proves that the USB drive appears to the system as a bootable device. The real proof would be actually selecting that USB drive and successfully booting from it, which may or may not work...
