    in Your Political Compass Comment by mlnjr November 2003
  • Panther is 10.3, so I'm not sure what you mean when you say 10.2.8 is crashing. Do you have different versions of Mac OS X on separate partitions? That's the only thing I can imagine you mean. Otherwise, if you installed 10.3 you don't have 10.2.8 a…

  • 2003-11-18 17:05:02 EST: 2703 / 239 Your download speed : 2703864 bps, or 2703 kbps. A 330 KB/sec transfer rate. Your upload speed : 239005 bps, or 239 kbps. Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier! Comcast recently doubled everyone's…
    in What is your internet connection speed? Comment by mlnjr November 2003
  • Sure. You'd just need to get your clients to set up their e-mail account preferences in Outlook, etc., using the server settings you provide for them. They'd sign on to AOL to get access to the internet, and then use that other e-mail app to check t…
    in AOL and POP mail - play nice w/ email clients? Comment by mlnjr November 2003
  • Not sure if I understand your question. 0. (Obligatory AOL bashing) Ugh, AOL. Why would you want to do that? 1. Can you sign on to AOL and use Mail/Entourage/Eudora, etc to check a POP account? Sure. 2. Can you use an independent mail reader to…

    in how can I add certain app boot with system? Comment by mlnjr November 2003
  • On your last gripe: Command-W closes windows in Mac applications across the board. Command-W also closes tabs in Safari. Command-H hides apps. Or is that different from what you were asking? One thing I'd like is the ability to skip over h…

  • Thanks, Brad. I could have sworn I'd already installed that update whenever it first came out, so I was surprised to see it again. You're correct, I did an archive and install. Command-Delete it is.

  • How can you "bookmark" tracks you want to buy from iTMS? What I did was just buy them so they show up in the shopping cart, and then I didn't click the button to complete my purchase. The tracks I put in my shopping cart a few days ago are still the…

  • Thanks for trying, cybermonkey. I don't know if it's just me and my internet connection (Comcast, cable modem, behind the built-in firewall) but the Macgamefiles link hangs forever. The alternate download link on that page is to the same ausmac.net …
    in Alternate download site for Kelly Slater demo? Comment by mlnjr October 2003
  • Most of my funny job stories are from my days as a writer and editor for Sabot Publishing, the company that publishes Vegetarian Times, Better Nutrition and other monthly magazines. I worked on VT and BN (mostly as an editor, but as a frequent writ…
    in Work Related "Issues" Comment by mlnjr October 2003
  • I loved my Color Classic. Sold it for about $450 in 1997 or '98 and graduated to a 6500/225. The jump from 16 to 225 megahertz was phenomenal. Not as nice as the jump from 225 to 800 on my LCD iMac, though. I'd say the award should go to Cyberdog.

  • I don't believe it's a disease, but to me it's abnormal. Heterosexual sex allows a biological process?conception?to take place, while homosexual sex does not. Unless there are lots of test-tube babies among the AI members, I'd venture to say most of…
    in Defining homosexuality Comment by mlnjr October 2003
  • I'm also limited in the number of gay people I know, but I'd have to wonder about the theory that most homosexuals have/want children. Rosie O'Donnell and Melissa Etheridge excepted, but those are the only two examples I can think of. Homosexuality…

  • Thanks, ginopiazza49. Vicki sounds like a slower, slightly smoother version of Victoria, and neither of those sound as lifelike as the AT&T voices to me.

  • Quote: Originally posted by cubs23 A new 15" Powerbook. I found text edit. Still no Appleworks. You say it is supposed to be there? Nope, it's definitely not supposed to be there. IIRC, Appleworks only comes pre-installed on the iBook and …

  • Victor Lemonte Wooten, who I had the chance to meet once after a Flecktones show a few years ago. He walked up to me, handed me a camera and asked me to take a picture of him with two young boys--either friends or family, I guess. Super nice guy. …
