  • And I've got a mouse with, let's see... 8 clicks and a scroll wheel, and couldn't be happier. Nor could I productively go back to anything with less than 3+scroll, and even that would be pushing it. Point is, different people like different things. …
  • Another annoyance: Everything I download winds up in the upper-right corner of my desktop, in a big pile. Things don't politely find a nice open space to land in any more.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Brad Ermm, my Canon Elph has never mounted on the desktop. I've always had to use either Image Capture or iPhoto. That would explain it then. Every other camera I've ever plugged in has popped up on the desktop…
  • I plugged in a digital camera (a Canon Elph) and it didn't mount on the desktop as a drive. I had to use Image Capture to get stuff off it. I didn't like that. Also, I've had some problems copying things... The Unreal Tournament 2003 demo and the…
  • Or, Tidris... How about someone who needs to use Maple to calculate a bunch of complex Groebner bases? Or someone who wants to simulate a large neural network? Or someone who needs to run a pretty complicated GREP search-and-replace operation on 100…
  • Yup. Happened to me too. I kind of wish I had just bought a 1 GHz proc. upgrade a few months ago...
  • stalkerdeapplenut, you are right. This heat calibration argument is a weak one.
  • While we're dreaming... Here's what I want: A gadget the size of a deck of cards... It's got a nice big HD in it, can store and play MP3s, has a radio tuner, can record from the tuner and via a built-in microphone. It's also got a color LCD screen,…
  • No, all you guys have it wrong. It's not a little frame thing you hold in your hands... It's glasses! A 1.3 inch screen an inch away from your eye is way bigger than any large-screen tv unless you're almost touching it. Plus, it's portable. Wave of …
  • I always thought motorcycles DID overheat if they were standing still for very long (which is why they're allowed to weave between cars during traffic jams).
  • Looks to me like it might be Czech.
  • I was thinking Rochester, not Bloomington. A thousand apologies for offending you.
  • Plano is basically part of Dallas (it's a rich NE suburb) so it's hardly the middle of nowhere. Bloomington is an odd one; I guess it's fairly close to the Twin Cities and to La Crosse, and not too far from Madison, but still... Can't speak to the o…
  • Dawg, please calm down. So you think blinking lights are stupid. Don't read the thread. It was obvious by the subject that it was about blinking lights. Save yourself some agony and stay out of the thing. There's definitely no need to go ballistic. …
  • To the dude who said that Carbon was slow and everything would be much faster once it was all Cocoaified: Look at OmniWeb... While it's a pretty nice browser, it is by no means a speed demon, try opening five or six web pages with it and see how it…
  • What the hell is the G5, anyway? I don't think anybody on this board actually knows. It always amazes me to see people posting about "The G5 will do this" or "The G5 is so fast", when the name doesn't refer to anything real; it doesn't even refer to…
  • The library you're talking about provided extra speed by essentially storing a table of values for common math procedures (e.g. sin, cos). Rather than having to compute the value, the computer could just look it up in the table. I'm not sure if it i…
