[quote]Originally posted by Brad: Safe mode booting has been around since 10.1. Brad: Holding down shift? You sure about that? Edit: just double checked and holding down shift doesn't automatically initiate a safe boot in 10.1.5. Perhaps some o…

[quote]Originally posted by Moogs: Alright, I'm no longer convinced of gambit's claim on this one. I think the SUPE has a firm grip on him (Software Update Placebo Effect, in case you were wondering). What do you mean? You're trying to …

Just slightly off topic, but I thought I'd share: did you know that with Jaguar, safe booting is back? If you hold down the shift key during startup, it only loads what Jaguar needs to run and none of the user-installed additions that could cause a…

[quote]Originally posted by Moogs: Gambit: on what do you base that last comment? Do you notice areas where windowing / graphics performance is much improved? What about the web browser thing - notice anything there? I base my Quartz Extreme imp…

Quartz Extreme is improved, that's for sure. I haven't tested anything else yet.

I read that article, or at least the first few paragraphs, before dismissing the dude as a jealous Linux zealot with no point or valid argument but, unfortunately, the ability to write and publish his thoughts in an open forum. I'm glad the respons…

[quote]Originally posted by Brian Paulsen: Address Book - geez, what a disappointment. Here I was thinking that the address book would actually use LDAP. In other words, I thought that maybe the OS would be running an LDAP server that the addres…

[quote]Originally posted by Brian Paulsen: Hmm, that didn't work. Any other suggestions? What do you mean it didn't work? How can it not work? What kind of volume are you trying to mount? Give me a bit more detail, there's no reason login items…

[quote]Originally posted by Brian Paulsen: It seems to be a major pain in the ass to get networked drives to connect upon startup. Doesn't anybody at Apple ever use Windows to see what the competition is doing? I have yet to figure out how to get…

[quote]Originally posted by Moogs: Significantly less than XP I wager (any edition). lol Yea. That was hard.

Supposedly, an update is coming out within the next two weeks that will resolve most of the major bugs, many of the minor ones, AND improve Quartz Extreme performance. Very cool. My buddy is ecstatic with 10.2, also. He bought a dual 500 a few y…

[quote]Originally posted by Brian Paulsen: I can buy the authentication piece... But, once I enter my authentication info and make a keychain out of it, isn't there any way to have the connection happen automatically when I log into OS X? …

Development on OS X doees not stop. There are more builds inside of Apple which incorporates bug fixes to this current OS branch and Apple's engineers continue to work on it. Just because something is declared GM doesn't mean all the developers pack…

[quote]Originally posted by Kecksy: I'd say 99% on a beta OS is pretty dam good. Micorsoft can't even claim that with their finished stuff. Microsoft has actually finished stuff? Huh?

Applications run faster in Jag than any previous version of X. (For those who are wondering, yes, this is including computers that do not support Quartz Extreme.) As for scrolling, I haven't tried that yet, but browsing the web and other every day f…

[quote]Originally posted by BigBlue: If that's true, it should be smart of Apple to add an 'animation speedup' or 'no animation (at all)' button or something in the finder pref's. You're right when you say that there's a lot in perception. If Joe…

[quote]Originally posted by BigBlue: Then why exactly is X *still* slower than 9.2 ? It's based on *nix, isn't it ? And wasn't that the fastest OS in the world (but not user friendly)? Is it purely because of Aqua ? Is it maturity (but the underp…
