  • Bumping this up a little.... For the love of god, is ANYONE burning DVDs? Is there ANY app besides iDVD for doing DVD preparation that doesn't require rocket science (a la DVD Studio Pro...)? Thanks for ANY reply (even a flame at this point…
  • Quark's days are numbered. I don't care how good it is. InDesign is winning (not only cause it is better IMHO) but because Adobe is (relatively) on top of their game providing well-written OS X apps. Now if we could just teach them Cocoa... …
  • [quote] PS. Is there an RPM component for OS X? There are plenty of precompiled apps that I'd like to try. Ever heard of Fink? It is similar in nature to RPM managers. It is a big help getting GNU software onto OS X. Check it out. -Aslan
  • You can also enclose it single quotes, just remember that it will be REALLY literal (whereas double quotes still allow for variable name and pattern evalutation/expansion) Might as well be thorough...
  • Fine by me. Anything to make it a little more stable for when Chimera gives me problems. Don't have time to scrounge for them, but has anyone else on other forums heard anything/read any posts about features/fixes included? Just curious as…
  • Is there an ETA on public release (via Software Update, etc.)?
  • It may be a little overkill, but it couldn't be to difficult to write some shell scripts that you could execute from the term that would essentially reproduce the font moving that is necessary.... It would take a little work in PB, but I think y…
  • [quote]Well, I'm glad your not accidentally defacing the venerable greek language. Nah... that is Cyrillic's job! Butchered Greek w/ Latin grammer and Slavic wordbase... Russian is fun! StarfleetX: Are you a fan of the Lambda-Calculus langs l…

  • Yeah I know... some of those instructional things at ResExcellence need to be cleaned up a lot. I haven't checked for sure, but I believe there are probably a few instructions in that heap of hacks that cause some problems in more recent versions o…
  • yeah they work great for me... I think I made it work best by using the inspector to configure a window how I wanted it in the Terminal, then used the save .term file feature of the File menu to save the .term file. I made several this way, th…
  • Belle you whine a lot. There are some great features in 10.2. And I would have KILLED Apple for releasing a bunch of half-finished, non-coordinated functionality upgrades for free. Apple's R&D costs money, and I think they deserve the cas…
  • [quote]The more I think about it the more I hate to admit it... Writing (via pen) is startin to? has become?? a lost art... "This was your father's PEN, the weapon of a Jedi. Not clumsy like a KEYBOARD,... an elegant weapon from a more civilized…
  • Yes yes yes yes... This is what I did exactly: Have a new HD for my powerbook and a new Oxford911 2.5" Firewire enclosure for the ousted drive it is replacing. To prep the drive I have opted to put the new one in the enclosure for loading of …
  • Hey! I just had a FW hardrive get hosed as a start-up disk cause of a User folder issue much like the one described above (except Fink wasn't the culprit so much as human stupidity)... Does anyone know how to "repair" as OS X installation in w…
  • [quote]Pipe down pimpleface. These are very specific problems I am having using OSX in a production environment. Go back to the "future hardware" forum. Ooohhh... Testy are we? Geezus this is the second time you have been insulting to the peop…
  • [quote]Does anybody use Macs to do work, or just view porn? Attempt to be cute? Horrible failure at said attempt? YOU DECIDE! Really now, in addition to being rather inappropriate to insult the people you are relying upon for help, do you th…
  • Not likely we'll see OE for X. Just a hunch... Entourage is not horrible and is similar to OE. I'd stick with Mail.app, even with its VERY annoying habits and issues, as I believe there is a nice update w/ new features in 10.2. (well...I KNO…
  • rotfl! Nice one hekal....

  • Though Apple is "committed to being the best Java platform available", I still fear we have a while to wait on that.... Just speculation, but I know they have some jobs posted for Sr. java programmers... They are working on it, but i would honestl…

  • I really hope so... I was disappointed that Aqua was the only theme in OS X final... I liked being able to go NeXTy in Beta, if just for fun! The main reason I am looking forward to this is fact that the vast majority of user-themes (such a…
