What's the point of USB2? Intel has been promoting it for video. We all know this is going to fail miserably. It's also a pain to mix USB2 and USB1.1 devices, you basically need to buy an espensive USB2 hub. I don't get it.

NEVER!!! Geez, every ISP gives you email for free. Why pay for this again? Errr, does it come with cake?

OS X already does, Classic does not. PS: Asking again isn't going to make it happen

W2K doesn't have semitransparent effects. PS: yes, it DOES suck hard

What Desktop? I disabled it using TinkerTool! The easily-hidden desktop sucks and always has sucked. I stopped using it well before Mac OS X and accessed my volumes using Now Menus.

There is already one, look for it on versiontracker.com. However I will warn you that the VNC protocol is a piece of crap. It will completely saturate a 10BT network and STILL be slow. Only use it if you're on 100BT or better. Perhaps MPEG4 could be used to make something more efficient. VNC...

I hate selecting text in the Terminal. I wish they would fix that. Oh well, more 3rd party terminals showing up.

I'll have to assume you meant to say that he has a LocalTalk printer. A friend had this problem and I fixed it merely by installing Apple's free LocalTalk bridge on an older mac (running Mac OS). The bridge makes LocalTalk printers available on EtherTalk so OS X can see the printer. You may...

I'm really tired of trying to end this stupidity...but oh well here I go again... Mac OS X dosn't use the Mach 3 microkernel. It uses a kernel called 'xnu' which is based on a modified version of Mach3, BSD, and a new driver architecture rolled into one gigantic 4MB binary. In other words BSD...

Maybe somebody ought to release a fix for the Aqua theme to get rid of that '+' symbol and replace it with a 'z'. The 'zoom' slang is pretty language neutral now. I was in latin america a week ago and they use 'zoom' |-)

If you want a good laugh check out Gateway. Why isn't that company bankrupt yet? I don't get it...

Hm, we could always hope for accelerated Quartz rendering...which up until now is only possible with faster/more CPUs.

Is this supposed to be funny?

On the iTunes issue... The problem is the so-called "maximize" button is NOT a maximize button regardless what the stupid '+' symbol implies. It's a ZOOM button which is supposed to toggle between the 'best' window size (typicaly the smallest size which doesn't have scroll bars) and one or...

But it isn't necessary. Every time I ask you why you are doing something you say you should, or somebody told you that you should. It seems you don't know how to justify your own actions except in a grand circular fashion like stating you can now login as root (which is what su is for crist...

uuuh, why do you think it's important?

I wasn't referring to aliases. An alias is an arbitrary description how to find a file and its behavior is filesystem dependent. Thus aliases leading to files on UFS volumes will be different than aliases leading to files on AppleShare or HFS+ volumes. Sure, if you want to store the location...

That's why themes are unsupported, only Carbon apps use the Appearance Manager, Cocoa apps just use some of the theme data but ignore others like the 'layo' resource. Personally I consider this a minor issue compared to the usability issues.

Cocoa is NOT fine! How does one solve these problems while using Cocoa? You don't, instead you have to use non-Cocoa APIs. This is a definite problem with the Cocoa API

I have yet to find a Cocoa app which doesn't drive me up the wall. Clearly there are some implicit Mac HI conventions which have not found their way into the Aqua HI Guidelines. For example: • When selecting text to the right or down, the trailing hard return (linefeed in UNIX) shouldn't be...
