  • johnrp, how much of a quality disparity is there in the Java views? Looking at your website, things look good. Zooming causes some pixelation. With high enough resolution images, is better zooming possible? Also, what software are you using th…
  • I will have to take the photos (renting equipment can be an option I was told) and stitch them together. My boss wants it too be fast, so any medium is alright. Out network seems to be fairly reliable and fast, so depending that was my first choic…
  • Actually, there is a virus scanner for the Mac. It's a Linux scanner that has been ported over. It's called clamAV. if you actually look at the Tiger Server specs, clamAV is actually included, I'm sure because you can buy and Xserve, use it as yo…
  • I upgrade installed Panther and after a couple months wanted the default bash shell, with all my fink apps etc all rebuilt. Unfortunately, my external HD that made my backup on decided to corrupt itself and DiskWarrior was unsuccessful. Fortunatel…
  • Xsan has everything to do with distributed rendering. Lord of the Rings was scanned into several petabytes of drives. If you work with a Pixlet quality film edit on your machine, send out a job, and all the video over dozens of drives is all parse…
  • You know that within a week after Pages gets released and someone gets a look at the XML files these things are saved as, will release an HTML export plug-in.
  • The streams are currently up on Apple's QuickTime site, have been for months. I'd just like a "hard" copy of it.
  • I don't have one yet, but the free music promo thing in there was the same as the 20GB iPod I got for Christmas. It just promotes the free download of the week. That's all, don't get mad.
  • Aquatic, watch the first 10 minutes of The Fellowship of the Ring. Isildur loses The Ring, Smeagol gets The Ring, Bilbo finds The Ring, Bilbo goes back to The Shire. And yes, The Hobbit is BEFORE The Lord of the Rings. I could give you a nice …
  • Gambit you said in your post: "The second movie showed you how much was at stake and really drove home the point that no one was going to be untouched by this war." And yet you won't let the Shire be touched? I said in my earlier post: "An…
  • The Fellowship of the Ring was an excellent movie (with small or even understandable changes from the book). The Two Towers was a equally excellent movie, aided by an excellent story to begin with. It too was modified, but not very significantly a…
  • Over break I intend to read the better part of J.R.R. Tolkien's works (again). I'm already into The Silmarillion, and then will go forward through The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. If I have time left, which I should, I plan to fini…
  • KHTML is a rendering engine, just like Gecko. It figures out what to do with HTML. Apple had to build that up and then add Safari on top. OpenOffice is a whole different beast. It has a full blown GUI. And as far as I can tell, one that isn't…
  • Adding PDF to Safari in Tiger is nothing. With the PDFKit, they just have to load a different view. That's nothing special. Now of course, why didn't they use the private APIs a while ago? Anyone's guess, but this isn't all that significant.
  • Having Xgrid built-in is the exact same thing as having X11 built-in. It's a power user, program specific feature. Now, if we're lucky, Apple will have implemented something a little easier to code for than creating NSTasks (or with an extra lay…
  • I already bought the drive mentioned above. Good deal. Kinda funny actually since the 180GB model was $20 or $40 more. I don't know what I'll do with 200GB, so it should be a worthwhile investment longterm. Especially if I move of this PowerBook…
  • I might just have to get DiskWarrior then. But i can't lose anything with whatever I do to it. At least I would prefer not to lose anything. I don't care about anything else now, I just want my Home folder back. It's a Maxtor 3000DV 80GB. It'…
  • No such luck. I tried without the drive connected, then with the drive connected. I really hope this gets fixed, cuz I have a years worth of information that i'd like to keep on it.
  • Repair permissions on what? The external drive? I can't do anything to it. I did try something from Mac OS X Hints that had to do with other removable media, (deleting caches) which I did first via command line and then via Cocktail and then v…
  • Actually, I was just curious what CS has to do with Computer Engineering. Everyone here realizes that these are practically completely unrelated majors, right? CS is Computer Science. Programming, Algorithms, Java, Obj-C, C Computer Engineer…
