thinking about it a bit, I can't really come up with a reason for those menus to be away from the corners by that little margin, unless it's actually to keep you off of them by accident. I think that used to make sense, but I'm not sure it does any more. The twitchy dock, is twitchy. yeah...

the UI of the menu bar ... if you drag down from the corner then the gap isn't an issue. A lot of mac users drag their menus down rather than click them down, and that may be the UI change that starts making Mac OS X making sense to you, Neyo. Or maybe not. In general I've found that mac...

an my 233 MHz wallstreet with 10.2 I loaded the Apple Store on IE, Chimera, and OmniWeb. It took: OW 25 seconds IE 20 seconds Chimera 15 seconds On my dual 450 I took better notes OW 4 seconds till it left the current page 11 seconds till page rendered usably 15 seconds till...

There is perfectly good reason to sell chips as 1.25 GHz to one guy and 1GHz to another. If you are using a chip in an embedded device the rate of cooling may be inherently limited, and the additional speed creates additional heat, and with insufficient cooling that means greater errors and...

OK, I have a pair of 30s in striped mode right now, but I planned on grabbing a couple of 120's and mirroring them so that I could care less about frequent backups. I was delaying due to price and performance, but knowing this, I think I'll hop on that mirroring bandwagon. That friggin' rocks...

Your keyboard is broken too. The return key isn't making new paragraphs like it's supposed to. :-) The Finder has some suck issues, I agree there. And if you can't feel the difference between Mac OS X and XP, by all means go with XP. It runs on cheaper hardware. Me, I'd give up computers...

I would, but my real problem is that my batteries seem to be toast, so my powerbook has been implemented as an ethernet attached stereo component. Remote mp3 to audio for my kickin' living room stereo. Everyone needs a computer in the living room. You don't know what you're missing till...

So the red line is just there, far more obvious in this screen shot. Thanks. The major menu sections change upon selection as appropriate, but the individual items in them are just there, not really contextual based on availability. Just menus that give options supposedly reasonable for the...

is that a red line through the Print This Picture option in your screen shot above? If so, what does that mean? Aren't those contextual menus? If something isn't available, isn't it just not there? Or rather, on the previous page?

OK, the preview thing, that's good. But mac OS X does the preview thing if you are in column view, which is the way X was meant to be navigated. The other views are only there for legacy users and particular workflow needs. So, it's good, but hardly new. I'd send you a screen shot but my...

I've seen similar wierdness on occasion on my G3 233 powerbook. It only happens at boot, and if it boots fine it is fine. I think it's something not getting cleared out of RAM or something. I've gotten quadraphonic display on occasion too from it. Again only during boot. Pinched video...

I have heard all the specs that say the wallstreet should have no problem running 512. I actually have a short 256 and a long 128. I added the 128 long ago, and fairly recently got the short 256 to replace the original short 32. Check out transintl, they seem to keep track of how much RAM...

I really don't know what you can get for your machine, or what those TiBooks will run. But as far as I'm concerned, they're all the same speed. At most 10% speed difference between the processors. Worry about peripherals, RAM, reliability and cost before you worry about 10% processor speed.

boy the optical drives in those old Ti's really sucked. Other than that, they're great. And if it's all the same cash to you, the Ti offers lots of power and mobility. Tho old Ti's and even the not so old ones have kinda weak graphics cards in them. Is that a concern for you? As for...

yeah, it puts the Windows convention modal scrolly wheel onto my mac, and the text boxes are totally nonstandard. Omniweb is still my sweetest baby. But, yeah, for speed, chimera kicks all booty. And a note on conventions, I haven't tested mozilla on a PC, but I'm playing with translucency...

I think it's related to the macromedia trial installers. Anyone else care to correlate this? .drm = DreamWeaver? And I apologize for the big nasty bump to an older than dirt thread.

This is just public testament to the fact that ... we all have our moments.

I didn't do any speed testing on my UFS install. I can see how speed would be hindered. For the uninitiated, the way UFS works is that it expects, does not attempt to fight, and handles fragmentation very well. Well, it doesn't break. The speed loss is real, even in theory. It's slowed down...

Is there a way to remove words that the dictionary accepts from it's list of accepted words? I have some typos that I wish it would catch but it doesn't. It likes the word geed. I don't. That's my common typo for good. I never ever ever ever want to use the word geed. Dictionary editing...

I don't see a way to do that cleanly. The two things that come to mind are folder actions, which I don't believe exist in OS X, and a cron script. du -sk /path/to/folder | homebrew_alert_script.pl again, yuck. good luck. Quota enforcement exists, but is all sorts of not configured. I've...
