There's still extreme laziness. I can tell you more in a few days but it's basically the same as with Tiger.

It's not that hard to just run XSlimmer again after an update, and yes SU still works with the binary parts you don't need removed. I agree, they should make this better and only install what you need but I think they have an attitude of, hard drives are so big, who cares. But I certainly do...

You can edit the ipfw rules still but the 10.5 firewall is based on firewalling applications not ports. I'm not sure how it ties into ipfw but it's still there and able to be used for port based blocking.

I use XSlimmer to get rid of unneeded junk like PPC binaries. I'm not sure on Leopard compatibility yet.

All ISPs say "up to" because they don't want to guarantee you anything with a residential service. You can get a business service and then you are usually guaranteed uptime and whatever speed they say you get assuming your line can handle it. The reason they don't give you the full speed...

Moved to Bob's Place because there's not really anywhere to talk about this kind of general topic. I have Sympatico but I've been with them for many years. New Sympatico customers are subjected to a 60GB download/upload limit before being charged extra. Since I've been with Bell for so...

That's an interesting realization. It seems to only work with certain file extensions such as those for image files. I just tried it with a .mdb file(Microsoft Access) and it does NOT show the .app extension if I turn off show all file extensions. Now this isn't really a big deal because...

Where did I say Internet? The wireless is on 99% of the time unless you're in airplane mode. Other phones have been infected through bluetooth without the user doing anything.

A phone is inherently less secure than a computer because they are always connected and not behind any type of firewall. From the previous hacks, it looks like the only user account on the phone was the root account which allows every application full access to everything. This is very...

This is the best I've found http://aplawrence.com/MacOSX/macosxcupstofile.html Not at all easy but there's the steps all there for you to try.

I think one secret feature was ZFS which will ship as read-only but there is already a read/write update beta for developers to test out. I think it'll probably come out within a few months from now. I think Apple realized it's not really that important for most people, even if it is cool.

It's been pretty widely publicized for quite some time that Leopard will be out in October. I know everyone wants everything for free but there has to be a cut off date.

Leopard is Automagic.

The upgrade route may be the easiest with Leopard. Doing an archive and install doesn't keep any applications and I'm pretty sure that it used to with Tiger. Your applications will be in the previous systems folder and you can just drag them back. This is how it is so far with the beta. I...
