Or you can just use Silk and get anti-aliasing in both IE and Mozilla!

Ah yes, I too am out of my undergrad days (praise Hallelujah), and in about a week I'll embark on my month-long doctoral prelims, after which I'll be done with classes forever and ever. I can't wait. After that, just research and dissertation, and then done with school. D'oh! I mean...

evildan: you're a Madisonian too! I thought I was the only one. Well well well, pleased to make your acquaintance. Are you perchance a UW student like me? I was quite displeased when the Onion moved its headquarters to New York. :( Succumbed to corporate temptations, I guess...

When you run fsck -y and get errors, do you reboot and repeat until you get no more errors? As in: boot into single-user mode, do fsck -y, it finds errors, so you type "reboot", go back into single-user mode, run fsck again, etc. That's the recommended thing, i believe. And yes, I think...

I would certainly welcome that. However, didn't Apple have a big fight with Adobe because of the editing possibilities in iPhoto (small as they are)?

Zowie, those sound like bad problems. :( Are these problems specific to OS X? In other words, does OS 9 behave normally? Is OS 9 installed on the same partition or HDD? Just trying to isolate it to a software problem. Sometimes the only thing that works is to do a low-level...

Yup, both options are enabled. Okay, so now it seems that my cookies are working--at least, I restarted Mozilla and I was logged back in without a problem (even though I haven't changed anything). There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to when it will log me into this site. Thanks for the...

Okay, I have this problem (minor though it is) that Mozilla seems not to store my MacOSX.com cookies--it forces me to log in every time I restart the browser. I checked the prefs, and my cookies are enabled, so I would think that they should just stay around. Mozilla in Windows and Linux does...

Whoa, have you tried using Mozilla without anti-aliasing? It looks downright nasty. I couldn't stand to use Mozilla before getting Silk. Unbearably ugly (and it gets even worse in Linux--d'oh!).

You can get Chimera/Navigator here . However, be forewarned that the latest release, 0.2.8, is pretty unstable. Spontaneous crashes and all sorts of nonsense. That's why I went to Mozilla. When they release a more stable Chimera, I'll see about using it again. It may well be that one of the...

Well, I haven't read the "big mozilla thread" where Ed lays out his objections to Mozilla. Maybe he's covered all of this already.

I nominate that you give yourself another title, Ed: Official Defragmentation Evangelist. ;) "Machine won't boot, you say? Defrag!" Just kidding. :D It sounds like good advice. :)

Wow, fryke, that's pretty harsh. Okay, so if I have 1% hope, does that mean only 1% of that applies here? So if I hope for world peace, does that fit into your schema? ;) :p

Two thousand pounds for two megahertz, aye? Sounds like a pretty good deal, all right. :D

Yeah, that doesn't look too promising for personal purchase. . . . :(

But wait a second, ksv. We as Mac users are fully acquainted with the megahertz myth. Therefore, we know just because something is 700 GHz doesn't mean it's 350 times faster than a dual GHz PM. ;) :D After all, that 700 GHz G4 has GOTTA be faster than Intel's 2.53 TeraHertz P4 (you know it's...

G5, yes indeed. I would very much love to skip the G4s altogether, and jump directly from G3 to G5. It's been nearly four years, after all. I'm holding out about 1% hope that the G5 will come out @ MWNY. If not, I'll most likely "settle" for a GHz+ G4. Here's to hoping. :p

Amen, bro! :D

Okay, beg pardon. It seems I succumbed to someone else's tale about Red Hat. Dunno what I was thinking. "But if it's on TV it MUST be true!" (same goes for Internet, I would think, for Mr Simpson). Nonetheless, the issue remains. If AOL were to acquire Red Hat (as a certain rumor stated...

You ain't kiddin'. :p That 700 GHz chip is 3000x times faster than my 0.233 GHz iMac. That's one heck of a lot of development in four years! :p :D
