Flagged for what? For actually having some common sense? The link you cite is a piece of freeware written by John Wordsworth. It's written right there on the page. I asked, very clearly, whether you can produce an instance where Apple thems

Nice try, no cigar. Please provide specific examples where Apple has spelled it OSX -- not some random shmoes who have also gotten it wrong.

You're missing the point. The full name of the operating system (Mac OS X) is often shortened to "OS X", whereas OSX is just plain wrong.

While we're on the topic of attention to detail, the name of the operating system is "OS X" -- not "OSX".

I'm not sure what your keyboard looks like, but on my keyboard the Cmd-C and Cmd-V key combinations are far, far closer together (and thus more convenient) than the CapsLock-C and CapsLock-V combinations you suggest.

Two solutions: 1. Spring-loaded folders. Drag the item to the left-hand pane (e.g., Places > Home) and hover over your home folder. After a moment, the folder will pop open. Continue this until you find where you want the file to go. 2.

Correction: Verizon used to push fiber-to-the-home. They shelved FiOS months ago: http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/27/verizon-shelves-plans-for...

I completely disagree with the assertion that the supposed 90% of iPhone users who keep their phone out and visible are doing so for fashion cred rather than for more functional reasons. Other, much-more-likely reasons: 1. The iPhone isn't

Absolutely. This project has the potential to remedy a problem that, to date, I have not been able to solve. I have computers in multiple geographically-diverse locations and need a large amount data (terabytes) to always appear in each loc

Hmm. Where to start... 1. This isn't a web-based remote desktop client. 2. Your concept of "something real" is clearly different from mine. 3. Their app appears to work very well, in my opinion, without having to resort to browser plugin me

As others have mentioned, Delicious import would be handy. Even better, however, would be to take it a step further and automatically import on an on-going basis. This would achieve the following workflow: 1. In my Historious settings, add

No, actually, I won't. Bytes aren't forward-facing -- if you aren't a propellor-head, you don't really need to know that there are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte. Version numbers are forward-facing. Besides -- for most software -- if you introd

0.10.0 is really messy for most people -- people who are very different from the target market for packages like Linux and FreeBSD and who are not accustomed to such notation. I think you should simply make an exception to your normal relea
