The fundamental problem is the browsers are using obsolete event manager calls instead of Carbon events, and don't allow the plugin to hog the CPU. There is a secondary problem that Macromedia hasn't optimized Flash for our platform. The best results I have found is loading a Flash movie in...

I believe it's the same process as BSD Check the darwin email list. I think there is an archive at www.darwinfo.org

Open the package and you will see a .pkg which you can install

Hrm, when I first saw that image I thought it was Blake's 7

You can always use the appletviewer command

Just delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist

I'd rather join the "Libertarians for Privacy" team (Team No. 1661) seeming as the chances of getting the prize are astronomical--might as well make a statement. FYI Darwin still doesn't prevent processes with their priority set to 20 from sucking up CPU from other processes. It isn't as bad...

eh, I got Canvas 8 some time ago; I hate Illustrator's interface. The only two Adobe apps which don't make me wretch are Photoshop and PageMill.

I'd love a firewire TV tuner dongle instead of having to be tied down to a PCI card.

The encryption doesn't matter. You can make a copy of the DVD by just copying the files. The encryption doesn't deter copying, it only makes it harder to make a DVD player. You can make DVD disk images with DVDExtractor and mount them with Disk Copy in 10.1 and play those if you want. Blank...

The problem with Windows will forever be the quality of Windows applications. How "clean" are the built-in apps are of little consequence to overall productivity. Pity Apple is quickly losing this advantage in OS X. Oh well, that's what you get when your #1 priority is being windows-world...

The iPod is smaller and weighs less than any firewire hard drive on the market. The comparisons aren't meaningful. Just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's overpriced. Apple has made the best mp3 player and the smallest firewire drive on the market, this nobody can deny.

No, but I did try to push this as the Darwin mascot: http://homepage.mac.com/anarkhos/.Pictures/

It can't be the Cube, Apple said it won't be a mac. I wouldn't mind an mp3 player which has a firewire port and tons of storage, or perhaps just an mp3 player which had a firewire port and would mount any firewire device to play mp3s from |-) A DV camcorder-like device seems more likely...

Of course Apple worked on Carbon instead of trying to please former NeXT people. Do you think they bought NeXT to please you? The Aqua HI Guidelines are not much different than the old mac HI guidelines. The primary differences are 1) a lot of the implicit mac conventions everybody was...

Considering that hiding windows is a colossal waste of time... Hide, move the cursor all the way to the Dock, unhide... You might as well just send it to the back and bring it back by using the contextual app menu in the Dock (which is so far the only thing about the Dock which I find...

Please don't compare XDarwin with Classic. Classic has to boot a complete OS and takes forever. XDarwin launches in virtually no time. Thus the only problem is the XDarwin installer. I'd rather tackle that than try to pick up a dead project like OpenOffice Carbon which Sun dropped a long time...

The question about Cocoa/Carbon differences is worrying. A lot of this is due to Cocoa developers who have been out of the HI discussion loop and haven't even bothered reading the guidelines (never mind trying to understand the many implicit mac HI conventions which aren't in the guidelines)...

Also, why the heck do dragged images still point to a file and not picture data?!
