Just thought I'd mention that DefaultFolderX makes dialog boxes' pop-up box act "classic" if you want and also adds a helpful little bar on the right to get you places quickly. The bar also lets you rename and delete files/folders while in dialog boxes. Something I really wish Apple would copy...

Versiontracker lists several apps for doing this. Just search for ipod and you'll find some different ones that do the trick.

lol! Yes let's! OK, so let's see.... If Apple updates... - 6 hardware line-ups twice yearly - iPods twice yearly - 4 main iApps each once yearly - iCal and/or Address book once yearly together - Safari once yearly - Final Cut Pro once yearly - DVD Studio Pro once yearly - iPod II :) once...

One more thing! :) If you are already using GC, I've found in the past that after editing or using a file in GC the preview icon gets pixelated like you posted. I think there is an option to disable this. There is at least an option to increase the resolution of the preview icon generated.

Oh yeah -- using GC to delete the resource fork of a jpg file kills the icon in the Finder, so I'm pretty sure that's where the preview is stored. I'm just not sure how to force the Finder to regenerate them.

I believe the preview picture is stored in the resource fork of each file, which is why deleting .DS_Store won't do anything. GraphicConverter's "Convert" application can do exactly what you want, and you can even specify how big the previews should be & other stuff too. You can have it do...

Command-K doesn't let you see what pop-ups have been blocked. Solrac's idea would be great for when you're on a site using legitimate pop-ups (as has happened to me many times) that are blocked by the pop-up blocker. Since there are other compatibility problems with Safari, it's hard to know...

I need QuicKeys to have a very low nice setting to work well for what I'm using it for. Right now I'm using Process Wizard which works great except that if I ever restart or logout I have to change the setting again. I've seen "renicer" but would rather not have another background app running...

Oh yeah, you can also use QuicKeys to remap your enter key to be right-click, so it's even one step easier. Still not what you're asking for but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Hey that's a cool idea... I've never heard of anyone doing it but it seems like it should be possible. In the meantime, something that might help a little is uControl (http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol/). (The trackpad scroll feature is awesome on PowerBooks/iBooks, by the way!) You can use uControl...

:) I think leaders of nations do this more than you give them credit here. Especially leaders who stand up for what they believe. They take very real risks. Saddam attempted to assassinate the first President Bush even after he was out of office, for example. But I agree -- it could be very...

I couldn't have said the 'postmodernistic nonsense' bit better myself! Well put! ;) I believe that what you call greyscale is actually dithering. Life may be complex, but I don't believe it's ambiguous. I recognize that that's one place where people who believe in absolute standards...

Hey that's an great idea! Tivo for audio programs -- nice! I'd totally go for that, and it would be even better if it could record in the background if I was playing mp3's or something. (As for having your computer do it, sheepguy, cool but not a very good solution imho. First of all...

Thanks for the clarification. I think, then, that we are very closely in agreement. I don't think we can say that "the results of the war" are going to be evil, simply because I believe some results, if a war were to occur, would be very good. Regime-change in Iraq could be extraordinarily...

BTW -- what exactly do you mean by "fails to recognize"? How do you know it's not recognizing it?

Who is your cable modem provider? AT&T has always been plug-n-play with my Linksys. Yes, it could be from the MAC address being catalogued from the previous computer. You can change the Linksys to emulate the old MAC address -- do you know how to do that?

Even though we might not need VirtualPC a lot of potential switchers need VirtualPC to get them to make the switch. I've talked to a couple of switchers for whom VirtualPC was the app that pushed them over the edge.... Even if it is slow, it still means you can bring your existing copy of...

That would be great! I use the slashdot widget all the time.

Oh dear. Hopefuly they'll split off their Mac division or something...

I've used it like you're talking about and haven't had any problems yet... Apple says that you are supposed to be able to use it like that, although the FAQ on the iPod does say that Apple doesn't support booting off of an iPod. I've heard that's because it's hard on the drive since system...
