The bit you quoted doesn't contradict what the OP stated, if /usr/local _does not_ exist, not even root can create it. If it exists, we can use it as before. Considering how many times I've installed OS X, I can't r

It is o my the initial download that is limited to 200MB, once launched the app can then download another 2GB right away. You can have another 2GB on the device, and up to 20GB in the cloud. So 4.2GB on the device at once per game and all

Editorial is a fantastic app, as is procreate, use both of those constantly. The first iPad mini with editorial took over from all my other computers for writing, well everything. From notes, to scripts for clients servers, it just took ov

Agreed, the page loads, shows data, then goes completely blank for 1-2 seconds while the scroll bars load. Safari 8.0.6 OS X Yosemite.

Thanks, was running to a client and didn't have time to check it out right away. Hmm, turns out my Mac Pro does have VMX : machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX

I'm curious why there is a restriction of 2010 or newer mac. Is it something in the CPU that's needed? I've 10.10.3 installed on a non supported mac and wanted to use this, but getting errors when I try the test Linux

The cart animations zoom the page in and out on my iPad, really annoying. When zoomed out I can only see the first story, zoomed in its all just white below the animations. Viewing landscape and nothing but letting the page load. Mobile sa

That's really interesting that the Wall Street bull moves over the years. I wonder if this is due to people leaning against it, or something like cleaning, or some other reason.

I know. There's not a single other implement in the home that could be used for defence. The government must want you beaten, raped and or murdered.

For feature requests, I'd love to be able just to watch them being played automagically one after the other on my iOS device (on the website or app), or computer via the website. Sometimes I just want to lay there with headphones on an

What ever happened to educating people vs just lashing out and punishing? There was a great teaching moment there (as well as learning moment for the staff).

I like the notifications grouped by app, it lets me scan and clear an entire app in one go, vs clearing each individual line. Less labour, less friction, more likely that I'll use notifications. I've ordered the apps to show the

Indeed, I'm running 10.10 on a 2006 Mac Pro, and it's running really really well (boot.efi replaced to get it working, not supported:). I was surprised just how well it's working tbh.

I've always viewed Google drive as a checklist item to compete with others. Cloud storage? Check! Gets the job done but not a main focus. The OS X client is passable, and the fact that you can't do things like LAN sync or rate lim

On one hand, I'm honestly surprised that this is still an issue these days. That's the issue I had with tablets back in the early 2000's when MS was pushing them, every time I picked one up I turned something on or off, drov

I may be missing something here (it's really late) but I'm able to quite easily hold and type on my iPad quite easily, in fact its happening right now. I've found that I moved most things to the iPad mini when I first got it.

Thanks for this. I've always loved eyeballing the globe and figuring out what was at the opposite end of a hole dug directly down. Not sure why, but now it's even easier

Nice and clean. I'd love it if when I clicked on HN comments that the list of stories would slide to the left and I'd have the comments to read without leaving this app. On initially opening, it took 4 tries to load the HN storie

Because on an ipad, there is not a calculator, so swiping up does nothing, there's no calculator button to tap. I've installed pcalc for this reason, and love it.

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if they had both scrolling methods on the device for testing purposes. The noise while drawing around the room (and outside) was horrid. Nails on chalkboard type horrid. I'd have thought the v

Some more feedback, in the Australia section you've put New Zealand as well. Maybe you should name it Australasia to be a little more accurate?

In 10.9 (OS X) apps ask permissions to access your contacts. There is also the request for location. It's been a while since I installed new apps on there, don't recall offhand what other permissions they can ask for. But it&#x27

One sci-fi author that I really found refreshing was Karl Schroeder. His first book has been made available for anyone to read, and if you like nano bots, micro payments, discussions on what it means to be human, I'd highly recommend

That's complete recycled bovine waste my friend. Just because I choose to use OS X does not mean I'm ignoring the bsd base its built on, nor not enjoying using / contributing to open projects.

Thank you for posting this, that was a great half hour video. I'd never thought of using their shields like that at all.

I am liking the idea of using the crown to help navigate around the interface. Glad they thought about it a lot more vs just compressing the phone down into a smaller UI (similar to the small iPod was). Also, how smoothly did those icons on
