Well, if you could make it to the Celtic Bayou (good selection of microbrews and other drinks they make on location) in Redmond... I would take you up on it. Although back on topic, it is just amusing the sort of hypocrasy companies/groups show on public versus internal policies.

Well, not sure about the wireless issues (haven't had them myself, but I don't use wireless in two locations anymore), or the PDF rendering problems... but the Microsoft incompatibilities are not entirely the responsibility of Apple, /especially/ VPC. VPC does this thing where it installs...

It still tends to be easier to start with a clean slate and add things until something breaks, than it is to remove pieces until it works (at least in my experience). You probably have something there with the HTTPmail plugin, though.

Don't tell me you are in the Seattle area... that would be a rather large coincidence.

Sure? Why not, I don't have big bills, although it might be difficult to get yerself up to Redmond. :P

My vote: OWC. While they have their own manufacturing group in China mass-produce uber-cheap bits, the quality is freaking top-notch. Not to mention with a lifetime warranty on every piece of RAM they sell, and in many cases now an /advanced/ lifetime warranty (you don't ship the old RAM back...

Definitely do a clean install after backing up the drive if possible. If not possible to back it up, an Archive and Install works just as well. The thing seems to be that quite a few apps that have been updated choke on the older prefs and don't know how to recover (Mail in particular does this...

Thanks for correcting an attitude I didn't have... considering I myself laughed at this discovery. Your post is amusing too, since it reads too much into my post's tone, and then you say I am reading too much into this (Sarcasm/etc just suck without tags stating it is sarcasm *grin*). It is just...

I guess it depends on what you hope to get out of it... what I tend to do when I start a project is ask three questions: What type of application do I want to see come out of this? What technologies do I wish to learn during the course of this project? What technologies do I wish to avoid...

While there are issues, there are ways gaim can get around it. Unfortunately, the method, which I have referred to as 'splat', since there hasn't been any other developers using it, is still very experimental and I don't really have the design finalized and tested... but I might get back to it...

I am actually doing a bit of development for a very large, nameless Windows-oriented company in the USB field at the moment. *cough* So, part of the development required the latest USB spec documents from the USB-IF group (the 'company' in charge of the specification). Well, I grab the latest...

Not really, those who have gotten Mail to launch with old prefs from 10.3 have had other issues (crashes and hangs) once it was running. The best option is to build the prefs from scratch, and then import the mailboxes themselves (not the accounts, just the mail within them). I /never/ do...

Yes, I was about to mention that I manage an IMAP server on a 8600 running 10.2 using SSL exclusively, and a Pismo running Tiger as the client. Not a single glitch. Of course, I did a clean install which probably helped. Upgrades seem to cause the most problem for users when moving to a new...

For the most part, depending on how things wind up, some files will wind up entirely on one drive or the other, but you can still read in parallel faster with RAID than normal. One thing that bugs me about Tiger is how quite a few things HOG the CPU now. They are faster, yes... but I have...

... Not to mention that AFAICT, 1.5 will not turn on as a default yet. Mostly the release is for two types of people: Those who need 1.5 for certain apps, and those who need 1.5 to develop those certain apps.

Actually, most of the stuff I have seen (although I haven't read the box itself yet) says you need a DVD drive as part of the requirements. We debated this when the requirements were listed for the WWDC build a few times. :)

That and when you look at it, not everything is best written in Cocoa. It is a great RAD environment, but when you just want a MacOS-friendly CLI app, Carbon is usually what you get linked into.

Well, in some ways it makes sense... Let's say you need 1 month of dev time to work out some 'benign' bugs (I personally think there is no such thing) that are low-key. In business terms (money), it makes more sense to RTM /then/, and go straight into the dev fix rather than dev the fix and then...

Well, here is the thing, the PSP is a good portable game player if you are willing to accept two facts: 1) UMD will never gain traction anywhere else but in Sony products. However, in the PSP it is the best option for high-capacity storage. What are we gonna replace it with, flash based...

1.4.2 is installed by default, with 1.5 (5.0) being available as a download. For the most part, 1.4.2 isn't going to break anything, and with the added tweaks to the VM in 1.4.2, I would much rather run that day-to-day over 1.3.x.
