    New Safari!

    Safari Flash playback speed seems on par with IE's, and the DOM is more compliant to my killer JavaScript. Thats good news.

    former mac user afraid

    I work all day in MacOS9, X, and Windows 2000. At the risk of getting berated, here's my general assessment: Unless you develop graphics (print especially) or music or movies for a living, a PC will be fine, in fact better for most tasks...especially Excel. Using Linux is Thinking...

    Help! Menus don't stay open

    I can have that problem right now if I scroll down and click on the forum jump. Maybe its just IE?

    EVERYONE on this planet should read this!

    The scary part is when we enter the gray area of patriotic discourse that could be misconstrued as anti-American subversive whatever. The important thing to realize is that national introspection, self-criticism, and world awareness will encourage us all to self-correct our lifestyles or at...

    I've never heard of a V4, just a BOXER 4, like an old VW engine. There may be a motorcycle V4 out there.

    Creating a VCD

    Do a search on Google, and you will find a site that has lots of info about which DVD Players (like the kind that plug into your tv) will actually play or wont play VCD's. For some particular models, you will need to use a specific BRAND of disc and record it at a specific SPEED. The Building...

    is font smoothing a "feature"

    I set mine to 16, and the system feels quicker and cleaner now! Thanks! I decided to put these brilliant little terminal commands in a textedit reference file, but where can I get more? I'd like to see where I can change the font sizes too...I mean whats up with the giant 16 point type in...

    Home Networking Advice Needed

    By the way, if you dont want to get the router, a $20 hub can work, but either the Mac or the Windows machine will have to run thier ip sharing feature. I personally recommend getting the $50 router, as I've had one at home for over a year nonstop without a hitch. For the most part, they are...

    Downloading sound vs. PC way

    A trick for snagging files that are stubborn (even mp3's that are set to stream only or quicktimes) in IE is to: 1. Copy the link to clipboard 2. open the download manager 3. get info on one of your old downloads 4. paste the link into the url spot 5. change the name 6. click reload I...

    X11 beta version 0.2

    I found some good resources: http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1232.html and the apple x11-user group have been particualarly useful. I even got the command to set the windows to focus when you mouse over them, so the extra click in gimp is no more. For now, Im going to keep it for...

    X11 beta version 0.2

    So far, I've been impressed with GIMP, simply because I didnt buy it. I downloaded/buit it from source. It works fine, and saves me from opening Classic to get to Photoshop. The other apps I've tried so far are BlueFish and Nedit. Both are text editors, and Im using them for HTML. BlueFish is...

    X11 beta version 0.2

    Im not even getting that far. When I double-click, it just opens Expander breifly with no dialog, then closes it. I put it on my OS9 machine elsewhere to give it a try and got the same results. Is it somehing I can set in the Epander prefs?

    Should the US go metric?

    I want to go metric so badly... Its so much easier, but the first hurdle is updating my mental images of size and wieght to metric portions.. Whats the one between centimeter and meter?

    is font smoothing a "feature"

    Its annoying to me too. That and the horsey font size is like something for preschoolers or senior citizens. If you're running Jaguar, TinkerTool is less effective. I tried using prefedit to override the smoothing up to 14 pt, but it didnt work either. I would like to a see a more tweakable...
