I totally agree, but this good programming practice has nothing to do with the number of processor on board... Good modern programming practices suggests that one should always multi-thread... I don't know about this, but I would guess that if it is only a matter of librairies, then this...

This comment only applies to apps used in OS 9, but it does not apply at all to anything that runs in OS X. Indeed, in the new OS, apps are not "metal-aware" like they used to be in OS 9 (and they have no need to be). By "not metal-aware", I mean that applications cannot directly see the...

Read yesterday (March 9th) on macplus.net : "The Mac OS X box will contain two CDs : the Mac OS X CD (multilingual by design) and the localised OS 9.1 appropriate for the country where the OS X system is sold." This means that everone will get the same OS X CD, but the accompanying OS 9 CD...

Someone pinch me : I cannot beleive it is true ! :p

The CD you will buy in Japan will be similar, content-wise, to the one I will buy here in Québec (Canada) and the ones that will be on sale in Cupertino. That means that everything, including the help files will be available in the language of your choice. (My feeling is that the help content...

Please go on page 2 of this thread and read the comments I had posted on the 15th of October 2000 : http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=915&pagenumber=2 My, my ! I feel as if Steve Jobs had read my post ! :D

(As posted by endian here : http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1151) For anyone who's never used NeXT here's a basic intro to some of its elements : http://www120.pair.com/mccarthy/nextstep/intro.htmld/ Have fun with your PC friends ! :D

Eric : Simply use NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH r3, always available at a VersionTracker near you !

I feel uneasy reading this, especially when I think that a lot of people must indeed believe that the innovator is Microsoft. What Apple was smart for, it is of buying NeXT, and not of putting "good stuff" like ProcessViewer in OS X. Indeed, ProcessViewer has been in NeXT Step ever since its...

I personally never tried Copland, but my brother (who's a member of the ADC) did a few years back. I never saw it running because he meticulously respects the ADC agreement (he's definitely not the one upon which the rumour sites live ! ;) ), however he did tell me that it crashed so much System...

[This is not a reply to AdmiralAK's post above...] Oh, gosh ! I hate it when I read a post paternalistically referring to Mac users as “idiots” and “normal users” ! Mac users are graphically oriented, but not stupid because of this. Use PhotoShop for a while and then discuss how feeble the...

devnul wrote : This part makes me a little bit nervous. In the Good Old Days, the Mac OS allowed anyone to fiddle with the OS' internals virtually risk free. Since even the system has been built in a graphical manner (go in ResEdit and see what I mean), it is easy to understand for anyone (as a...

Hello all ! As for myself, I would like to see the Apple menu back. To those of you that do not like it, I say : fine, don't use it ! But not using it does not mean it is not usable to others. The Apple menu has been my "Start menu" ever since 1991 (thanks to the Now Utilities). Would I lose...

That seems serious enough for a feedback@apple.com...

Apparently not.. yet ! :D (Although, obviously, this may help !)

That seems a genuine bug ! Fire an email to Apple feedback asap !
