   Thanks for the comments. It seems like Lisp is one of those languages everyone should learn at some point, and it's likely past that time for me. I don't really have a specific idea for GUI apps, and am already heavily invested in Cocoa for

   I'm probably going to buy this, but would anyone be able to explain the state of programming Lisp on Mac OS X?

   While we're at it let's leave the drama alone too. I wasn't crying ripoff, I was using it in a design context. And from that POV, the drawing code is almost a per-pixel copy of the Dock's. Which, wouldn't happen by accident.

   Did you look at their Dock drawing and menu titles? Straight ripoff of the Mac OS X Dock and Dashboard dock.

   Depending on your usage ~20GB should be enough for Windows - but you'll want to get it right because resizing an NTFS volume is a pain (with something like WinClone). The second OS X partition, I don't think there aren't any DPs other than

   At the same time disk images are essential for power users, they are just as confusing for typical users.

   Won't comment on OWC but sending anything off to anyone with "many projects" due in eight days sounds a little risky.

    Once told someone "good luck" on a project idea and it was upvoted to 2 and then a few hours later I noticed it had been downvoted to 1. I pondered what kind of community HN was that day...

    I haven't followed SpamAssassin in several years, but have any startups ever tried running their comments through it? As you point out, it seems like many of their rules for emails would apply equally well to blog comments.

    According to Alexa, apple.com is in the top 50 sites on the internet (#42 - coincidence Hitchhiker fans?) and top 30 (#27) for the U.S. So yes, I agree they are "mainstream" and welcoming them to the web probably isn't necessary...

    I think this is the fourth or fifth time I've followed a link on HN to his site and it wouldn't load. I've commented before about this and not trying to dogpile again, but this is frustrating because he usually does have something interesti

    Haha, cheap shot, but isn't a good thing that Unix has such a diverse community now? Many years ago, after OSX had been out for a while, even the Mac greybeards started poking at the terminal, isn't that cool? Or does the pool of new users

    Don't know the exact origin (37signals?), but they all probably descend from a common ancestor - which was probably very successful, hence the copying. Analogy would be how many big box stores (eg. Home Depot) routinely build next to Wal-Ma
