    Journaling FS coming in 10.2.2!

    Audit trail? Maybe, I haven't heard that before. The advantage I've seen touted for a JFS is that if the power is cut then your fs isn't corrupted.

    I found an Easter Egg in 10.2!

    192.168.*.* is not a routable IP address. It's a private address. There is no danger here, let's move on. Vanguard

    Apple to add SMS synching between iCal, iSync, Address Book and Nokia phones...?

    Nice rumor. That's what this forum is supposed to be filled with. I like it :) I've been waiting for something like this: http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/smartphone/tour/default.asp to come out. Most PDA phones look like PDAs with cell phone functionality. I want a phone with PDA...

    Apple buying SUN

    I've been using different flavors of unix for 7 years and I've never seen a 3 button mouse requirement. Really, the middle mouse button just makes it easier. I wouldn't doubt that some windows apps require two buttons but for every function I can think of, it just makes it easier. Most...

    Apple buying SUN

    One mouse button is terrible. Six year olds can work arcade games but Apple thinks I can't handle three buttons? Lots of people suggest that I buy an aftermarket mouse. Those people don't realize that I'm relaxing on my couch using a notebook with a wireless ethernet connection.

    Damn what happened here???

    I like it better. I can see it just fine. Also, I like that I don't need to open a new window to reply and that the post counts are back.

    Jobs has resigned!

    *in comic book guy voice* Worst thread title ever *end comic book guy voice* Seriously, it was obviously meant to get a rise out of the people here. I don't like it.

    Apple buying SUN

    1.3.1 is not "incredibly old", it's commonly used. Apple's impementation of the jvm is amoung the best. A 1.4 implemetation will be out soon but I don't realy miss it yet.

    Jaguar Calculator has trouble with addition?

    I'm pretty sure you got it from somewhere else. I've seen it lots of times.

    Jaguar Calculator has trouble with addition?

    You're right, it's almost certainly the decimal to binary conversion routine. But it's still a bug that should have been caught. I tried to add up the numbers in the windows calc and I got 91.41. It looks like I entered the numbers incorrectly but I can't tell because it doesn't have a...

    Fun with google

    Friends, Ok, it's not related to apple but I thought your guys would enjoy this. If you go to www.google.com and search on "go to hell" it takes you to this url: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22go%20to%20hell%22&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 (if you don't...

    OSX Calculator?

    Friends, I haven't seen anybody mention it before but the OSX calculator has been dramatically improved. It used to be a simple toy that really didn't sastisfy my needs. (Did it even have a pi button?) Now it has a scientific calculator that is more or less on par with windows but it...

    Neat Terminal Welcome

    I once wrote a program that grabbed the current stock price and calculated the value of my stock options every 15 minutes. I'd display their value every time I logged in. However, that got depressing so I shut it down. :( Vanguard

    Do iCal and the address book synch with a palm pilot?

    Can I synch my the apple address book and iCal with my palm pilot yet? If so, what software do I need? Vanguard

    Paris keynote hints of faster machines.

    Umm, aren't you talking about the same guy who took a $150,000,000 investment from Microsoft? Vanguard

    Will Ferrell switch video

    I have to agree with ubermac. It's not funny to me either. Everybody said it was funny so I was kind of excited when I found it. I called my wife over (she's not into computers) and we watched it together. When it was over we just kind of looked at each other and agreed that it wasn't...

    any way to decrease startup times in 10.2??

    10.2 boots faster because it starts up services in parallel when possible. For example, after networking starts it can start httpd and network time together. However, it can't start all three at the same time because the second two are dependent on the first. Anyway, holding down the v...

    The stupid Intel rumors are back (make it stop part II)

    Regarding Red Hat: I'd take that $100 bet in a heartbeat. Red Hat was a big stock, people have heard of it outside the geek community. I can say the same about my company, Cisco. The guy who owns my local gas station asks me when it's going back up. So did my doctor. People know companies...

    Posting with Polls

    I'm far more bothered by all the damn sticky threads than I am the polls. It seems like both of the good forums always have the top one or two spots occupied by a stupid sticky thread. Let's do this sparingly. You're taking away the top slots for a months at a time. Vanguard
