The next will be scripts running on users' boxes who are running as admin/sa/root instead of a regular user account.

I've been able to quish them down using IDs (rather than classes) and addressing them individually in CSS (not embedded). Give that a try?

shoot... does that mean my super innovative hamster-wheel-to-body-heat extractor is sure to be a flop?? (sigh) dagnabbit!!

I believe XP includes some firewalling internal to the OS. XP suxxors.

You need to find your external ip address (the cable/DSL side of the router - usually accessible from your router's "status" page) and that's the address you'll connect to from the world. Also, you'll need to find out what port(s) apple file sharing uses and set up port forwarding in your...

... mostly because people suck.

Good choice. The only thing I *won't* sell for trip money is my iBook :D

I'm planning on doing a solo coast-to-coast ride in June, head out of philly area, take a northern route west to perhaps Seattle, then wander south, over to Tombstone (my only "must see" waypoint), then meander east from there. I have no set time line, no set stopping points and am just going...

The first rule of thumb is that the unix world is completely unfriendly to new users. It's not an intentional slap in the nuts, just the nature of things. If you're not comfortable working at the command line without a GUI safety net, it's easy to get discouraged and look for simpler options...

It was cute enough. The pictures of the P-P-P-Powerbook still reign as the funniest thingt he 'net has offered yet. THIS IS REAL! <-- cracks me up every time.

I agree that could get dizzying. If you can glue the menubar for a given application on top of the application, that would be ok. But the system-wide menu bar hopping around like that would be a problem. I'm biased to the "menu in app" design that other GUIs offer, personally. I think it just...

Have you ever spilled anything in/on your iBook? They're designed to auto-eject if they can't ID the disk that is inserted. If things are dirty in there, it *might* be under the impression there's something in it that it can't identify and hence tries to toss it out. Go hit the store and grab...

Glendalough, I'm pretty new to OSx myself - got my first *new* apple back in February. I'm a Windows and Linux user and my first addition to my new Apple was to install Fink and X11 flying blind. Since then I've done all sorts of things. The good news is, whatever you break, is only a reload...

Good catch. I didn't pay much attention to the HTML. *nods* As noted, try declaring the HTML as XHTML transitional or as HTML 4.0 strict and run it against the verifier. Don't get discouraged by a long list of errors. Often times the errors are compounded to look worse than they really are...

2 != 3; even for exceptionally large values of 2; "Here endeth the lesson." -- Ramirez, Highlander I

*snicker* Gee, you get that for free in Windows systems with multi-monitor support because the menu bar exists in the application... where I believe it should be, by the way. As much as I like my apple, I still think the menu bar belongs in the app. $.02

hmm... I'm picturing a device (geared towards writers/editors/etc) that is an unfoldable keyboard (a la the Palm external keyboard) that has a very small lcd screen for a few lines of text and has media slots for the modern media cards (compact flash, mem stick, SD, etc). That should work out to...

In addition, in order to run any *NiX (graphical) apps you have to have Apple's X11 implementation running. If memory serves, I had to download that separately and it was an easy install. I'd look around for Apple equivalent software packages, tho', if I were you. Apple does a nice job of...

PS... iPhoto runs acceptably well (speed-wise) for me with just over 2000 images in various sizes and formats. It crashes a lot tho'. More than pretty much anything I use on my Windows box.

I maintain that comparing apple and windows is nothing an excercise in "who gets pissed first". Let it go folks. They're in two different worlds with *some* overlap. Unless either one changes drastically, Windows will never enjoy the fluid and smooth compatibility and solidity that a closed...
