Well since the internet (and by extension computers) is the breeding ground for acronyms you have only to look at the following examples. 'OS' This acronym generally refers to 'operating system' 'X' Throwing an X around in the late 90's and 2000's has usually been referring to hip...

While I agree this is nice for those who legitimately bought the first release of osX and want a full installer for 10.1 should they re-install at some stage. Its pretty harsh on apple should new customers decide to move to osX. They just have to get a free (or $20 depending where you go)...

I have mine auto hidden on the left, I had to disable magnification because I hated dragging things to the dock only to have the apps shift around all nervous like they are afraid to open the file :rolleyes: I really like this system but for the fricken trash can. I want to be able to REMOVE...

What do you mean junk mail filtering is not possible? Crack open mails preferences panel and hit the rules tab... write your own filters to sort spam from sweet glazed honey ham. Ok from emails from your relatives and bored co-workers.

Well the penguin is blinking now so I guess you worked it out :)

Like the readme states its not finished yet and has memory issues, if I have 3 or 4 windows open which is normal web browsing behaviour for me, it can crash out of nowhere :( Im pretty sure its the cookies setting. I have it set to ask for each cookie and my god there are sooo many cookies...

What do you mean by true flash support? I can't comment as to the program 'nearly' being finished but they do have 4.1 the sneaky peak edition on the omniweb ftp site. Its pretty nice, handles cookies better, prettier icon and has staged back and forward buttons (so you can skip back...

Vise installers had trouble with the international panel settings in earlier versions of osX . The fix then was to just open the international control panel, change something, exit, load it up and change it back (if necessary) and this would allow the vise installer to run. I sometimes got...

Thats the joke, you make the folder in the persons home folder, if they didnt know that the * meant everything they might just go right ahead and use the recursive remove and accidentally wipe the lot.

Two button mice have been somewhat of a luxury for the macintosh. The default mice shipping with systems being single button. I know I had them in os 8 through os 10.0.4, I just can't figure out why its not 'on' for me in 10.1. EDIT - I figured this out now sort of :D It was a pair of...

If you make a typo it adds a line into the file :eek: How do you delete a useless line in there? :confused: [ edit = I figured this out ] (I was trying to make my mouse activated menu work with timed click just like it does with os9, right now 10.1 only calls up the menu with a control...

As if any mod is going to be able to compete with teamfortress 2! The engine is the same :D Unfortunately the rights are still in Sierra's pockets so the chances of there being a mac port are still just as likely as there being a tribes 2 for mac... hahaha :p

Dev's say that osX is good for gaming because of the reported ease of porting. A game that is designed for pc can in some cases (many) be significantly easier to port to osX than to os9. The stability of osX is great for games too. I've never played a game that never crashed once or twice...

The quake3 in game browser chews though. Silicon Ice did a great job with it though for urban terror, so I can only blame poor support from ID in regards to in game server browsers. The default multiplayer server list page is too damn slow, taking around 30 minutes to poll all the servers...

Pakrat for X alpha/beta whatever has been released :P its pretty swish I must say, its quick to load, opens all my quake/quake3 paks and model files and I can even view and move around in the map files in 3d with textures and lighting without loading the game! Great stuff, and a handy too for...

Gameranger for osX was announced ages ago by the maker :( and by ages I mean something like 4 or 5 months. That page has said 'watch this space for screenshots soon' since day 1. If this is how long it takes to get @#$%ing screenshots of the fabled gameranger for 'x', I dread to see how long...

Well after removing dave and its niggly hidden and system files manually I got mine to work. I did read on another thread here at macosx.com that there can be other issues that stop smb share mounting from working :( -- In my example I have two pc machines and 2 macs connected via the one...

Since the update to 10.1 my pro apple seethrough 'dust magnet' usb keyboard (connecting through the usb port on my monitor) works ok except that the eject key no longer works, which it did in 10.0.4 :rolleyes: Similarly I appear to have lost the mouse menu option of 'holding down the button'...

I tried smb://192.168.1.101;michael no file service at this address I tried smb://WORKGROUP;michael no file service at this address I tried smb://Chopper;michael no file service at this address. --- [EDIT] I found a simliar thread under trouble shooting, I had removed...

is there a website that covers this and how to do it? I go to 'cifs' but it wont see my windows machines on the network. If I use the connect/go option in the menu, and enter the address of a windows machine (after it fails to find it on its own) it tries to connect via appletalk :confused: I...
