Web Results 1 - 10 of about 614 for those little adhesive tabs that you put on the cabinet door corner so the door doesn't slam. (0.30 seconds)

I don't need that. xpost

four weeks pass...

read the online tutorial, if you do this you will hardly ever need to call tech support, cause you can set up you own repairs online. use the tools you have at your finger tips; google, ipodding.com, ilounge.com and also the Apple support pages. its all very easy, you just have to put in work to get where you need to get. oh yeah, work would involve showing some ability to do this for yourself, im sorry i guess it would be hard for over 50% of the people on this thread. And for the other group, thanks for being able to read, understand and implement the instructions that are given online. Enjoy your Apple products, have fun.

Yeah you fuckin' mac faggots, Windows works great if you know what the fuck you're doing. Jesus if you don't know how to run taskmgr and regedit wtf are you even doing on the internet, fucking gaywads!!!!!

it saddens me that this is the most popular thread i've ever started...i don't even hate Apple anymore.

― jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Friday, 13 January 2006 04:47 (twenty years ago)

This thread stinks like a jock's locker room thanks to TOMBOT and Allyzay's balls-out cussing. I haven't heard so many testicular metaphors since the bigshot lawyer played squash with the rightwing radio host and they "told it like it was" in the changing room instead of taking a shower.

― latebloomer: Let's just say I do for bullshit what Stonehenge did for Rocks (lat, Friday, 13 January 2006 06:07 (twenty years ago)

Now Apple are switching over to to Intel processors isn't it about time Microsoft rewrite their operating system with *nix and put these fucking bullshitters out of business?

I've never felt such a mug in all my life. God just imagining the prospect of using Finder (or whatever bullshit "search" function, gadget or app they try & present to make it appear like the file browser is a trifling nonsense to be ignored) and iTunes again, with no good alternatives make me want to stick redhot needles in my scrotum (sorry Momus).

My feelings when I sit back in front of a Windows PC "Ah, good. Now I can stop pissing about pretending to be streamlined and efficient and actually f*cking get something done, as the operating system isn't permanently working against me so hard"

I can't even face unpacking my boxed up iBook to watch a DVD :( My sister apparently wants to buy it, but even that seems like keeping it in my life too much now (god no, not 'family' tech support for the evil f*cking thing).

hahaha you said scrotum!

incidentally, why do the volume buttons on every powerbook i've owned since 1997 take anywhere from 1-10 seconds to have any effect at all, replete with hard-disk churning, etc? fuck's sake. and oh, balls.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:11 (twenty years ago)

Momus, did Shoyu Weenie steal your song?

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:12 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, that's a feature. Not a bug.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:14 (twenty years ago)

fandango: for someone who made so much noise upthread about how happy he was switching back to windows, you still seem awfully crabby about apple. did you trap your knob in the iBook lid or something? i just don't get the level of hate if you're not actually using the thing any more.

That would be everyone since macs never come with enough to begin with.

Wow Jon, that DOES explain everything.

#1 apple annoyance -- inability to turn off "relative date" in open dialog boxes of individual applications -- also the absolute idiocy of the relative date sorting mechanism.

the fix the finder stuff rilly can get irritating.

on the other hand, with the side-shelf & the right cmd & option combos, etc., navigating the finder is still waay faster than windows -- just took a little getting used to.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:52 (twenty years ago)

the cross application cmd-backtick window switch thing is magic too.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 19:53 (twenty years ago)

and you can't sort by date in column view!!!! USELESS!@

fail to see how volume madness is a "feature."

My iPod's disk is very dead.

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 20:31 (twenty years ago)

Tracer, if you can't see how a screaming hard drive is a feature, then you're obviously a complete fucking retard and probably never even used Netscape 4.x before, because you'd understand if you were me. Testicles!

While we've got the hedz here, anybody have a good solution for fucking FONTS? I use Suitcase, but all my fonts are on an external drive. Suitcase forgets what it's activated, for some reason, so I have to go turn on the sets I want every time I restart. That doesn't happen for fonts on the local drive.

First off, throw out Suitcase completely. Extensis' developers have been completely out to lunch when it comes to proper OS X development and are currently racing with Quark as to how fast they can alienate their user base.

Second, download a copy of Font Explorer. It's free and it works fantastically.

I haven't been really happy with any of the Finder augmentation apps, but Path Finder seems to be pretty good - and it will sort by date in column view.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 21:42 (twenty years ago)

can someone explain how these purported OSX problems might be relevant to a lifetime Mac user, nonprogrammer, new iPod owner, totally novice downloader, and non-illegal file-sharer considering supplementing an old OS9-G3book with an OSX/unix-desktop?

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 21:43 (twenty years ago)

er, i meant OSX/intel - one of the new machines

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 21:45 (twenty years ago)

Apple don't include enough RAM for how their OS runs. this thing cost me 2 grand ffs!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

gabbneb it depends on what exactly you're using your computer for.

tears before 7pm EST.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:01 (twenty years ago)

gabby, just buy shitloads of RAM from a third party and never use the volume keys.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:02 (twenty years ago)

They're all non-issues unless you like to painfully nit-pick over things or are affronted that Steve Jobs didn't personally call you for your input in development. I'm a programmer, database developer, network cop, iPod owner, p2p user, etc. and I'm 85% satisfied with my set-up. If I sat down and thought about it some more I could probably work up a good series of complaints about that remaining 15% but since that 85% satisfaction is responsible for 100% of my income I don't really have the time.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:03 (twenty years ago)

is Font Explorer really robust? I was bummed when OSX came about because Apples said Font Book solved all the problems, but realized right away that it was a toy and a mess. I've used Suitcase, ATM, Masterjuggler and Font Reserve and I hate them all. But can Font Explorer handle thousands of fonts well? Auto-activate w/ no problem? I can only assume it's the real deal coming from Linotype. I guess I'll find out tonight...

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 18 January 2006 22:05 (twenty years ago)

"painfully nit-pick" = have a computer that crashes on you consistently. Except for when I compiled some shit. Worked like a total dream then, finished in like record time. That was pretty cool. Please don't pull a Jon, Chris, you're normally like the sanest, least judgemental person on these threads. If I could afford something else, I'd buy it.
