No mas - as in Roberto Duran. Understand now? ;)

No Mas!

Yep, sounds like server-side is the way to go, perhaps with some javascript client side as a shortcut for those that support it. This way you can avoid roundtrips to the server to do the validation (so quicker for users) but you still get the validation done on the server if the javascript...

Same ol' same ol'..... Whilst such a move would smack of a last throw of the dice on Apple's part I think it's no bad thing to have options. It also gets people talking about Apple which is no bad thing. (All publicity is good publicity etc etc) I'd be pretty surpised to see it actually...

Noooooo! Don't start cranking up the hype for the next show already! I can't take it! Argghhhh! ;o)

I intially used MySQL on OS X a while back but moved over to Postgres as it just seems more 'grown up' for want of a better phrase. Can't do with out stuff like views and what not. Had no real problems and it suits my requirements fine. Been using it for web development work - with a postgres...

Manually changing the resolutuion to a higher value isn't always too great a solution. Photoshop (or whatever) has to basically guess the missing data and so quality can become a problem. Also, sometimes the actual physical dimensions of the image can be more important. For example a 150dpi...

Well here's my success story to show it's not all doom and gloom. I bought some 'generic' pc133 sdram from my old G3 and had no issues at all - plug 'n' play! Bought from my local PC World if I recall correctly.

I voted 384 as that's what I have in my desktop. Soon to be 640 though when I finally get my new iBook! You can't have too much RAM can you?!

148kb lib file => 139 Songs | 10.2 hrs | 653mb Quality, not quantity!

I guess Apple must send them in bulk and then split them up en route via various depots to actually get them to the end user. I would have thought it would cost loads to send them all individually!!! ;) Back to my iBook - next ETA is this monday (18th) but I don't actually know where that...

My new Ibook is coming directly from Taiwan according to the shipping tracking thing - taking forever though. Over week so far and I'm itching to get my hands on it The tracking page is next to useless - it advises on an ETA for delivery but that ETA is only for the next leg of the jounery...

I've noticed this too. I think it has something to do with the way the browser is rendering images as opposed to rendering flat HTML marked up colours. One simple solution is to use a very small image (even a 1x1 pic with the relevant colur in it) as a background rather than a marked up...

Ah, perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I haven't actually ordered any of the airport stuff (card, basestation) yet - just the iBook itself. I was of the impression that my old beige g3 powermac won't actually work with airport and I was seeking clarification on that. How does the airport...

Hurrah! Sorry, suddenly felt the need to share my joy with the rest of the world! Whilst I'm here - I also have an old beige G3 and I'm guessing there's no way of hooking the two together using airport, is this correct? Anyone else got any useful tips for doing it the old fashioned way...

I use classic for Photoshop - don't really want to stump up the cash for v7 but guess I might do when I eventually get a new machine. Doesn't seem worth it on my 300mhz g3!! Also used to use classic for dreamweaver but have kind of moved over to using BBEdit more recently on X instead (get...

I've been following all the arguments flying around recently regarding PC processors (AMD, Intel) vs Mac processors (be it IBM or Motorola) and the whole RISC vs CISC thing and still find my self unclear on a few things. As the message states above, CISC has basically won the speed war...

I suppose after starting this vent-fest I should offer my 2cents on Mr Nielsen's articles.... That particular quote I posted did rather annoy me and seemed rather dismissive of all that Apple has to offer. That said, in general if you read his articles on usability they normally make a...

Just read the following on http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20020930.html Dolled-up variant of windows! Pah! Why I oughta....! ;)

I think the number boxes show you how to decode other numbers. It says a five is a five and zero is a zero. So 5's and 0's don't need decoding. All other numbers get translated via those boxes. i.e. 1 becomes 9, 2 becomes 8 and so on. That's why there are two boxes (1 to 9, and 9 to...
