  • When you loose somthing around the house, you keep wanting to hit apple-F.
  • I like the idea of an AppleInsider chat room. iChat makes this very easy. I'm not so sure about the subjects changing everyhour, though. Maybe rooms like AppleInsider-FH (future hardware), AppleInsider-SW (software), etc. That way we can have each f…
  • Mine's just some stuff EVERYONE should remember. (the first one i found somewhere the second i made up). Does it really need explaination?
  • [quote] The MLB can go off the face of the earth for all I care. Same here. I moved on to a better sport years ago.
  • WOW, I'm so suprised by your country's reactions to the world cup! Here in the USA, widespread depression has envolped the country, our economy has crashed, and people are commiting suicide in the streets, and drug usage is at an all time high. …
  • I'm starting to have some doubts about the US team now after the loss to Poland. Does anyone think they can still take Mexico? Well with this World Cup of Upsets, who knows?
  • Well, as far as i know the world was over when all this reality tv crap started. They all really follow the same plot. Some people do a buch of stupid stuff, and they get taped while doing it. This just goes to show *dumb* (for lack of better term …
  • Haha EmAn, you make me laugh. Basketball's rules make no sense at all. Come on, during gym class, "Hey, thats a foul, you touched my hand while i was shooting!" Come on, how wimpy can you get! Dont even get me started on that reaching crap. In a …
  • Who cares about basket ball, we all know that soccer's the only real sport. IMO those do-gooder animal rights activists, whatever their called now, take things do far. Don't rights come with responsibilites? What responsibilites do animals ha…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BuonRotto: Just teasing (shoulda used mr winkey: ). That's what my Desktop is used for, but I've become quite a neatnick with it. I move stuff off of it as soon as I've done shuffling stuff around, and I don'…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BuonRotto: You mean people still use the desktop, I mean, more than as a picture frame? I do. I got lots of docs that i think i might use, or am currently using. Sortta like a misc. items folder. It's much easier…
  • Neat idea. I never understood the idea of virtual/multiple/whatever desktops. What does it do? Is it like hiding a desktop in the background, the switching back and forth between the hidden one and your current one? Or is there something i missed…
  • Only the brand new 12" and 17" powerbook, and 17" iMac (i think), and new Powermacs can take advantage of the 56 Mb/s of airport extreme. You can still us the new airport extreme base stations, but only at 11 MB/s with your clamshell. You should…
  • Hit the bug report button in Safari and tell Apple about it. What you had was a kernel panic. These are similar to system crashes back in OS 9, except these are harder to get.
  • Actually you could bypass the whole cd burning thing and just buy a crossover cable and network the two together. Its not very hard, the Apple Documentation does a good job at explaining it. (just remebered, is this a laptop or a desktop? oops ) …
  • So why do you have to add release a [myObject release] method for each object you allocate in the dealloc method? Whats the point if all this memory is reclaimed by the OS? BTW, is this the same or different from the way OS 9 handels it. Sorry bo…
  • I guess we found another reason they should've kept the happy mac. It was a lot easier to diagnose startup problems! I used to have that problem in OS 9. I had a sever alias in the wrong place or somthing and it would search for about 15 try…
  • Thanks for the explaination.
  • Then wouldn't this allow one process to control the CPU, thus reverting to the OS 9 way of one process controlling the whole machine? This seems like a violation of the way OS X's multiprocessing works.
