If so trash the local user plists for it and it'll probably work again.

I found the problem, I had accidentally un-checked "use autoscroll" rather than "use smooth scrolling" in the advanced settings. Whoopsy-daisy!

I've considered it many times, but I've always just come to the conclusion that it'd be a very short-lived project.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I think you could do quite well. No reason to set up a professional WordPress blog, but using something like Tumblr should be more than easy. Then whatever you would normally post to BF2s just also post there. You've made so many posts here, not sure why it would be a short-lived project.

And your expectations were more or less true, if you catch my drift.

i hereby declare windows pc's absolutely rubbish and worthy of the highest forms of tech contempt

i have arrived at this conclusion after a thorough, empirical test of the machine and platform's utmost capabilities

i couldn't even get basic shortcuts or operations in microsoft office to work

my keyboard didn't have the CTRL, ALT, or Windows key but i feel this is irrelevant as it is a plastic, completely separate peripheral

i also find the platform to be most unsatisfactorily slow, unresponsive and not-fit-for-gaming, generally

this is because, of course, as my first post highlights- they are SIMPLY INCAPABLE

btw my machine is 7 years old and has the same specs as modern calculators

but this is also totally irrelevant

thus, windows SUCKS

dictionary reference the word 'reaction'.

maybe adapt into the common phrase-cliche: 'kneejerk-reaction'.

maybe just EVEN learn to distinguish between people being facetious and piss-taking and people genuinely making dumb fucking statements.

So, in your opinion, it's better if I just keep saying that OS X sucks without any ground at all?

Shouldn't you be glad that I'm giving the stuff you seem to love so dearly a chance?

freezer i cannot even begin with you

if you think using a far-outdated machine running OSX without the necessary OSX peripherals is going anywhere near developing a 'grounding' or 'knowledge' of the platform/device/brand generally... then how ridiculously misguided you are. complaining about shortcut/hotkey troubles when you don't even have the apple-key is, like my absurd analogy hopefully drummed through to you, whining about windows being a bit inconvenient to use without the CTRL, ALT or WIN keys. to echo your gripe about  copy+pasting: "DAMMIT there's no easy-shortcut in this SHITTY WINDOWS without the CTRL!". well, quelle surprise, there's no easy copy on OSX without the APPLE key. protip: it's apple+c / apple+v. complicated for a windows->OSX crossover, i know, i know...

i'd be glad, of course, if you were 'giving it a chance'. creating a thread so you can publicly (this thread is clearly just some petty attempt to appear 'objective and rational' and continue your senseless bitching) denounce apple for whimsical, ridiculous or downright retarded reasons isn't something to be 'glad' of. i imagine even the already pointlessly anti-apple crowd have little to appreciate here.

Dude, the "Apple key" is just the same as the "Windows key" on a standard-issue keyboard. If you would have read the thread, you would also have seen the post I made about how easy it was to configure to my liking, switching Command to CTRL and the other way around. It works great.

... and in so far as making comments about OSX being 'incapable of gaming'?

errrm sure that's not because you're using a system with the hardware-muscle of a fucking abacus?

btw i will contend that, comparatively, OSX will run much more smoothly with that hardware-setup than, say, windows vista or windows 7 would. especially in 64-bit applications. now there's a 'grounded knowledge' you'll get from using both platforms in a truly objective, rational and non-bias way.

Its all great if it runs more smoothly but OSX is crap and useless so it doesn't matter.

How about comprehending what you've read?

I'll use this machine, with its native operating system, for all my every-day tasks (aside from gaming and other stuff that it [THE MACHINE] obviously can't handle).
And to further strengthen that point, it's not only quite slow, but it's also Power PC-based, so I can't run any games compiled for x86 on it, no matter what I do.

And when I make comparisons, I obviously won't make side-by-side comparisons to a more powerful machine. I've also got Debian installed on it, which quite frankly runs far smoother than OS X.

Loving it so far, although it's difficult to get used to. Also, the charger and bottom of the laptop get so hot it seems like they could start a fire.
