What sorts of pages are you having problems with? I use Gecko-based browsers all the time (mostly Fizzilla-CFM and Mach-O) and almost never run into pages they can't handle. About the only pages that fail are ones where the website uses bad browser-sniffing code and serves up a page with...

Well, the throbber is certainly ugly as sin, I'll grant that... I probably overstated. Another nice Mozilla theme based on the nsItheme (semi-native appearance) stuff is Kevin Gerich's Pinstripe, available here: http://homepage.mac.com/kgerich/pinstripe.html

After a fashion -- you can block all images from, say, doubleclick.com easily enough, and you can limit animation looping. Yes, pretty easily: http://uabar.mozdev.org/ Nightly builds are always in the same place, so it's a trivial AppleScript (or shell script) to keep them synced as...

I have a 1 mile walk on both ends of a bus commute. I also work on an Army base where I maintain two desks, a quarter-mile apart from each other. I am the target market.

Is this the (relatively) old hash table vulnerability in SSH protocol version 1? If so, does disabling fallback from protocol 2 to 1 still work around it?

This is why I recommend changing mode on the nidump executable so that it can only be run by root.

Audion, the audio player (http://www.panic.com) has a feature that allows you to use any playlist as an alarm. Just select the playlist, and leave the player minimized in your dock.

You can get them by signing up as a Mac developer (don't worry, it's free) http://developer.apple.com/membership/online.html

Well, I certainly understand this point-of-view as a philosophical/aesthetic choice on your part. I have moderate/high experience with command-line UNIX solutions, so I had no objection to installing leafnode for my own use. The sad fact is that for a problem like the one you're describing...

If you've got the patience, a reasonably fat pipe and a lot of disk space, you could always set up Leafnode (a fairly easy to set up UNIX news server) and let it pull news from multiple servers. As an advantage, you can set your own article retention times per group. Then you can run any old...

Now _that_ was a language. Elegant syntax, strong typing, la la la... Any decent free Pascal compilers out there?

Anyone else use a french press coffeemaker? I love mine. It's a little extra work cleaning up, but the taste is worth it.

Speaking of duos, how about: Tom Verlaine & Richard Lloyd Glenn Mercer & Bill Million Roger McGuinn & Gene Clark Robert Fripp & Adrian Belew Thurston Moore & Lee Ranaldo

Your console login counts as 1 user, and each terminal connection to your machine (local and/or remote) counts as a user too.

To see what was modified in this update, in the terminal type: cd /Library/Receipts/SecurityUpdate10-19-01.pkg/Contents/Resources lsbom SecurityUpdate10-19-01.bom |more

Well, the Security Update just took me to 5L14... Interesting. Also interesting is the fact that "About This Mac" no longer displays build numbers. You need to use the "sw_vers" command int the terminal now to find build numbers.

Did the entire interface freeze or just those applications? I had several UI freezes under PB and 10.0.0-10.0.4, but none so far under 10.1 in a month of usage. Netinfo used to crap out on me occasionally (leading to the system being unresponsive for minutes at a time) before, but once...

If you use contextual menus a lot, then you might find a multi-button mouse useful. Also, the scrollwheels these mice tend to have are _very_ nice for browsing long pages. Of course, if you use X11 apps a multibutton mouse is practically mandatory...

You're also paying for all the money Apple is sinking into basic research and things like Mac OS X. (I hope no one thinks apple is making a profit on OS X at $129.) The real costs of devloping a software project of this scope are much higher. Microsoft can fund its OS development by means of...

I remember reading that, though it was a good idea, Powertalk (I think that's what the overall technology was called) had a really nasty API that was nearly impossible to program for. Developers wouldn't commit to it because of the steep difficulty curve and because at that time was developing...
