UMAROMC  I was wondering why MU had OS 10.5 listed as a requirement since the description of this update states "BETTER Leopard Support..." rather than "Made SPECIFICALLY for Leopard" but it looks like they did their homework. After rummaging through the developer's site I found, indeed, that the [OS] requirement is 10.5.6 where earlier versions of Leopard "may work".  
(Version 2.03)

UMAROMC  Interesting to know, thanks!  
(Version 0.9.9)

UMAROMC  Check out the website for more info... apparently it requires a version of X11 that's NEWER than Apple's supplied X11.  
(Version 2.6.4)

UMAROMC  It definitely seems a BIT snappier than the last version... please read into the emphasis on "BIT". For those of us still working on computers that may have been excellent work horses a couple of years ago and are showing their masters some strain (ie; my MDD G4 Single 1GHz CPU comp, albeit w/ a Radeon 9800 Pro) I cannot gleefully recommend this [yet].

1. It's sluggish.

2. Little or no content - it's frustrating to follow through channel links only to be shown a "This Channel Contains No Episodes" message... then why's the channel THERE? I have no doubt you will run into this. And of what collections of videos there usually MIGHT be, many are restricted to 1-2 minutes... seemingly more of an advertisement themselves for the actual television/cable channel than entertainment worth the annoying price of entry!

3. Annoying advertising - not only are many videos introduced with irritating ads (as if we aren't hit with enough every day), their shoddy audio (for the ads, usually, not so much the actual clips) will annoy even more.

To those of you with fast[er] computers... for the lack of content alone I'd not recommend this... and the default Options-as mentioned by another poster-have this program launching at start!

Recommend AMP? Me?

No.  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  Wow! Thanks for the heads up!!! I HATE things like this!  
(Version 6.7.2)

UMAROMC  There's NO WAY that Firefox is eating that many CPU cycles without some add-on being responsible.  
(Version 3.0.1)

UMAROMC  Shareware? Chipmunk BASIC is freeware! =) I know what you mean. I was working in BASIC on an original Mac doing Calculus in high school... *cough* *cough* years ago. ;)

PEACE  
(Version 3.6.4b8)

UMAROMC  You might want to consider FileZilla, too.

I prefer CyberDuck on my home OS X system but I had to use a PC at my last job and resorted to FileZilla for FTP requirements without a hitch.  
(Version 3.0b3)

UMAROMC  It's just ten bucks. I can't be the only person that has to pay rent and utilities... I can't cry over someone charging ten bucks. Please have some compassion.

Peace.  
(Version 2.4.3)

UMAROMC  Odd. Usually if I make a post like this here they update the listing along with deleting my post! lol  
(Version 4.3.7191.6508 )

UMAROMC  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox#Version_4.0

"On October 13, 2006, Brendan Eich, Mozilla's Chief Technology Officer, wrote about the plans for Mozilla 2, the platform on which Firefox 4.0 is likely to be based. These changes include improving and removing XPCOM APIs, switching to standard C++ features, just-in-time compilation with JavaScript 2 (known as the Tamarin project), tool-time and runtime security checks. It has also been announced that support for the Gopher protocol will be removed by default."

I've tried Firefox 3.0b5 and 4.0 seems just as stable. The only oddity on Wind0ze is that Firefox must be uninstalled for the Minefield betas to work correctly otherwise 3.0 and 4.0 appears to be running fine on my old MDD G4... this being my only litmus test for speed I'm quite happy that it runs faster than 2.0 even with the extensions forced on it via the about:config "hack" and I've been using 4.0 since I ran into it and found out I COULD use the 2.0 extensions successfully.

PEACE  
(Version 2.0.0.13)

UMAROMC  Worked fine via Firefox 4.0a1 (aka "Minefield"). MDD G4 10.4.11  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Making old add-ons work;

Type "about:config" in the address bar, right-click to create a new Boolean variable "extensions.checkCompatibility" and set to "False".

I haven't many add-ons but they all seem to work!

PEACE!  
(Version 2.0.0.13)

UMAROMC  Hey guys! I was perusing Mozilla's public download FTP directories and ran across Firefox 4.0 alpha 1. I apologize if it's old news to you but I'm using it right now and it seems fast and stable albeit incompatible with Firefox 2.x add-ons.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2008-04-01-14-mozilla-central/firefox-4.0a1pre.en-US.mac.dmg

I'm looking for some way I heard of to enable the add-ons although they may still act weird if they work at all because I LOVE my adblock... otherwise it's FASTER than 2.x even with adblock, the interface seems like the love-child of Safari and IE7 and I am NOT complaining. You can also search for add-ons without leaving the add-ons window and also has a "Smart Bookmarks" which is a collection of the most visited sites. Anyway, try to back up your prefs first and have it a go!

PEACE!  
(Version 2.0.0.13)

UMAROMC  Thanks for the heads up!  
(Version 3.0b3.98855)

UMAROMC  Java? I don't remember NeoOffice ever requiring Java... it's not in any of the requirements nor is it "sold" as a Java app...  
(Version 2.2.3)

UMAROMC  MP3 file format doesn't support embedded cover artwork.  
(Version 20080313a)

UMAROMC  I think this assertion is correct given that this program is listed under the general term of "Religion" rather than "Humor". No doubt a laughable subject to many but absolutely not also to many. Factoring in the "What would The Absolutely All Mighty think about this?" to the 'equation' I'd say that if its utility is relatively educational and the purpose peaceful then there must be no harm in it.

It's a tool (IMHO).  
(Version 3.0)

UMAROMC  ProPinball series was the best—personal favorite; ProPinball: Timeshock!

PEACE!  
(Version 2.6)

UMAROMC  To double check version open Terminal.app and type; "java -version"

PEACE!  
(Version Release 6)

UMAROMC  There's only a version 1.0.3 demo but no 1.0.3 update? :P

Definitely a fun game for every kid at heart, my little brother and nephew love playing this for hours together (taking turns) and they definitely don't mind waiting for me to reinstall it every time they visit! lol PEACE.  
(Version 1.0.3)

UMAROMC  MU admin: clicking the Download now link only seems to reload this page. Problem doesn't persist when downloading from developer's site.

Thanks for your time and attention. :)  
(Version 1.6)

UMAROMC  Have you attempted Recalibrating to create a new color profile? Maybe messing with those gamma, hue and saturation settings a tiny bit could be it... :P

Another idea is to try aticcelerator to lower the clock speeds of the VRAM and GPU, I think it works with the X1900 XT—dblchk.  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Not too many options (only BG color can be changed) but nice and simple, not really a complaint I hope. One thing I noticed after trying to figure this out for awhile is that there seems to be an error in kerning/spacing between sets of time displays; the seconds, further displayed into the thousandths it seems, overlap on every other set so as every two sets of time displays look like an even longer string of changing digits.

Although it delivers in the "cool" factor arena, its utility is further hindered by the speed of rotation—I couldn't really take a passing glance or even sit still for few moments and tell immediately what time it is—this, compounded with the spacing error noted above.

Thanks!  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  I'd originally tried this a very long time ago and wasn't completely pleased with it but decided to give it another go a few months ago and after giving myself time to figure out its utility I've trashed every other messenger app on my computer—save for iChatAV.

The interface is very smooth, seems more polished to me than iChat with options that make this app like the VLC of messenger applications, albeit not as complicated. 'Gone Dark' with the 'Mutation' variant is one of my little brothers' favorite setups. Considering all the options available I have to still give a 5 for Ease-of-Use because a lot is fairly straight forward.

So far I've only used this with my regular AIM and Yahoo! IM accounts as I was never fervent when it came to MSN Messenger or ICQ but I'd recommend this app to anyone looking for a solid IM experience, especially with multiple protocol-using accounts.

Given the dearth of really good software for the Mac in the 90s this app is in a class all on its own! ...and FREE?!

FREE! =) ...please consider donating, though!  
(Version 1.1.1)

UMAROMC  I concur...!  
(Version 10.4.10)

UMAROMC  Stellarium 0.9.0, Universal

2007-06-06, r2229+macosx support

This is the really final release build of Stellarium 0.9.0.

INSTALLATION

1. You need to be running Macosx 10.4, preferably not 10.4.7. Drag the Stellarium.app icon from this .dmg window to your mac, and double click on it there to run it.

2. You don't need anything else for this build, it is all bundled inside.

3. If you had an earlier version of Stellarium set to start in full-screen mode, you want to remove your earlier configuration file. As listed in the Known Issues section, this version of Stellarium does not run very well when started in full-screen mode. Simply move the file:

~/Library/Preferences/Stellarium/config.ini

(That is: in your home directory, the Library directory, then the Preferences directory, then the Stellarium directory, the file called "config.ini")

to another location, or to the trash. Stellarium will copy a new config.ini file that starts in windowed mode.

4. An issue with mis-directed shared libraries discovered for the Intel architecture has been resolved.

ADDITIONAL STARS

There are four star catalogs included with the build, and additional star catalogs available from the Stellarium website, the "Extra-data-files" package. Each star catalog file listed there you wish to add to the stars available can be placed in:

~/Library/Preferences/Stellarium/stars/default

Up to catalog 6 has been tested on a PPC iBook with 750mb RAM, and there was something of a performance hit. The more RAM and the faster processor you have, the more stars catalogs you will be able to load.

KNOWN ISSUES

0.9.0 right now cannot *start* in full-screen mode. It can start in windowed mode and toggle back and forth to fullscreen mode. This seems to have to do with OpenGL and Qt, and it will be investigated in future releases.

The video mode list of the config screen has no options in it, the switch to Qt has made that display obsolete. It will be resolved later.

About half the time when quitting, Stellarium will crash on glDeleteTextures. It will show a "The application Stellarium quit unexpectedly" dialog. This does not seem to hurt anything, but there is an order of destruction that needs to be corrected in future releases.

ATI cards in Macs are known to not support point sprites properly. If you run Stellarium, but don't see any starts whatsoever, edit ~/Library/Preferences/Stellarium/config.ini, add this line:

flag_use_gl_point_sprite = false

to the [projection] section.

This build does not include all possible star catalogs. Details about how to download additional star catalogs separately and make the available to Stellarium will be forthcoming.

There is no audio support in this build.  
(Version 0.9)

UMAROMC  DEFINITELY the best media player since, ummm, sliced bread? Okay, bad metaphor, but you get the point. This thing handles almost anything thrown at it and is highly configurable.

Please use MacUpdate's provided links for the Intel or PPC-native versions respectively... it'll trim about 7MB off your download!  
(Version 0.8.6b)

UMAROMC  Just right/Cntrl-click the file and choose Open With... and choose VLC. OR You can Get Info on the file and set VLC to be the default app for Flash Video Files–it'll leave the icon blank but work all the time.  
(Version 0.8.6b)

UMAROMC  Can the output files be used on a PSP? Thanks.  
(Version 0.8.0b1)

UMAROMC  "...and you only need to use one or two lightweight Windows apps..."

Why bother if said "lightweight app" most likely has an OS X-native equivalent?  
(Version 6.0)

UMAROMC  Isn't Windows Media Player still REQUIRED if you want to view DRM/"protected" WMV content anyway? I don't think Flip4Mac or VLC can successfully play DRM content... I've been searching Flip4Mac's and MS's sites for assurance but I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong, thanks.  
(Version 0.8.6a)

UMAROMC  I've used a handful of (note: free) GUI'd FTP programs here 'n' there (including *NIX shell), windoze and Mac and I feel this is the most elegant and easy-to-approach program I presently use or would recommend to anyone who happens to own a Mac... if they don't own a Mac I'd suggest buying one because, amongst the thousands of others improve-one's-life reasons, there's nothing representing such relative ease with similar value on the wintel side.

Thank you for your efforts for the Mac community... if you owned a Mac during the 90s you know where I'm coming from! ;)

PEACE!  
(Version 2.7.1)

UMAROMC  BTW, my bro's on the peecee... I'm on the mac... of course! =)  
(Version 1.0.5)

UMAROMC  In toe-to-toe comparisons, this has come out above and beyond the professional antivirus programs in detection, new-virus response times and in detection ( http://www.clamav.net/press.html#pagestart ).

There's no beating the price and there's no subscription fee to worry about (yet?). My brother had gotten a laptop about a week ago and I'd, after having to update several "required" components of Windoze, finally got Norton Anti-Virus installed. Then there was the extra headache of finding/downloading/restarting SEVERAL times and quickly noticed how LONNNG it took his laptop to become responsive after boot/reboot with Norton installed... I downloaded ClamAV and it was ready to use after installation and virus def updating-I didn't even have to reboot!

Clam, IMHO, makes other anti-virus programs look more akin to cripple-ware... definitely 5-stars for Features, Ease of Use, Value AND Stability...!!!  
(Version 1.0.5)

UMAROMC  Launch the installed Vidalia GUI which should be in the /Applications folder... once launched you can right/control-click it's dock icon to activate/deactivate Tor on the fly... much easier than the afore-mentioned tip. ;)  
(Version 0.1.1.24)

UMAROMC  My little brother works in a movie theatre, I only really liked it because I saw it for free... I'd not like it so much if I'd paid the usual NYC price of around $11, either.  
(Version 0.1)

UMAROMC  A copy resides in my Applications folder... it's named "Democracy".  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  No way! This is really cool! I'm getting further now than when I first played this game on my old Performa 630CD! lol

The only drawback is that switching to full screen mode screwed up the colors.  
(Version 0.1.8.2)

UMAROMC  ...a very humble thanks!  
(Version 0.1.8.2)

UMAROMC  Thanks for the reply... I guess I'll check again later tonight. :)  
(Version 1.1u)

UMAROMC  ALL mirrors give the following message:

Error

Invalid mirror selected  
(Version 1.1u)

UMAROMC  Definitely reminds me why I hate computer Othello... the computer trounces me and I've no board to flip over and no one to beat up... :p

Ugh, me Tarzan!  
(Version 0.91v2)

UMAROMC  Hahaha... sorry, that was a funny reply. :p

hue maa baarif  
(Version 0.8.10.2)

UMAROMC  Very cool-now supports 16:10 ratio resolutions in configuration window by default–before this version I had to "Show Package Contents..." and find the INI file to place the specific parameters for 1680x1050 because changing the setting in the program to 1600x1200 within the program's configuration window would cause a blank screen to appear the next time I'd launch.

Thanks!  
(Version 0.8)

UMAROMC  This version comes with a cool Vidalia GUI for TOR, please post feedback on it. i think the last version of TOR I used did not have this and was a pain to setup, etc.

Thanks!  
(Version 0.1.1.21)

UMAROMC  Thanks.  
(Version 5.0.296)

UMAROMC  It installs a daemon program?!  
(Version 5.0.296)

UMAROMC  I must humbly apologize again.

After allowing the video player to download a file completely I found that changing the *.gvi extension to *.avi allowed it to open in VLC (my preferred player) just fine. Getting Info on it revealed that the file is divx encoded... but I'm still not thrilled over Google's forced "middle man" approach... :p  
(Version 2.0)

UMAROMC  I apologize, it does... only the LOW RES version can be directly downloaded though!  
(Version 2.0)

UMAROMC  video.google.com now no longer allows downloads without having to download their video player... big, fat, disgustipated THUMBS DOWN, Google!

haha, almost wrote "giggle"

Umm, yeah, Im upset. :p  
(Version 2.0)

UMAROMC  ...for every time I'd have "Office" appear without prefix I mean and part or version of any "Office" product whose discretion of usership as protected by law is in the hands of the behemoth company, The Microsoft Corporation.  
(Version 2.0a3)

UMAROMC  Best version by far! MUCH more useful than OpenOffice X11 is especially because of font compatibilities with OS X! For the first time, in any version, have I opened a certain document up and even the tabbed bulletpoints were where I last left them— no editing and ready-to-print!

Three thumbs up!

Could use some Printing Setup GUI enhancements... but that's not enough to make me purchase Office.

If you're on a budget, want Office-like-usability to compliment your deftness in working around obstacles, and you'd much prefer not having an illegal copy (of Office) I can only *highly* recommend this!  
(Version 2.0a3)

UMAROMC  I pre-ordered for $38 :P  
(Version 1.2)

UMAROMC  I don't think any of Apple's major apps have been updated for running natively on Intel Macs (and they complained about Adobe not switching to OS X fast enough)... but they should be able to run via Rosetta... albeit noticeably slower due to the runtime emulation.  
(Version 3.5)

UMAROMC  You could skip some of those steps simply by popping the CD in your drive, restarting and holding "C" while booting until the OS starts booting from the CD.  
(Version 1.1.5)

UMAROMC  Thanks, the help's always appreciated. I booted my system with Drive 10 1.1.5 instead of Apple's Tiger disc and, after hours and hours and hours, it returned an Error -90 and repaired... for hours and hours (nearly took 2 days!). Finally, it was done, I rebooted, ran Disk Utility and Repaired Permissions in my admin/501 account and root to no avail.

I'm going to attempt using Apple's boot disc to see if anything else can be done before attempting an archive and install... I hate having to do Archive & Installs... but it's better than an entire reinstall... or waiting for another Security Update :p

Thanks again...  
(Version 2006-003)

UMAROMC  That URL isn't helpful- the QuickTime movie remains black... is that where the info's supposed to be? I'll assume you're offering something besides the Archive & install tips...

thanks  
(Version 2006-003)

UMAROMC  I sincerely believe this is the best visualizer for iTunes, whether it's worth $20 for the Gold edition or $30 for the Platinum edition to anyone is relative.

The demo now has advertising and has for awhile now–nothing new there. The installer also doesn't respect browser preference launches Safari no matter what– no prob if that's ur fav browser though... other than that, awesome visualizer!  
(Version 3.5.4)

UMAROMC  MacUpdate admins have included a link not requiring a login and/or sign-up... kudos!  
(Version 10.1 (412))

UMAROMC  The playback is plagued with decoding artifacts that leaves little green squares in a grid pattern acorss the video while the eye is completely strained to try to visualize what's being shown behind the bright green fence... two thumbs down.  
(Version 10.1)

UMAROMC  According to "http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/public_beta/", no.  
(Version 9.0.0.297)

UMAROMC  I've been using my DMR for a few years now and have had my fare share of use out of it: my nephew, little brothers, sister, father, mother and myself have enjoyed, at one time or another, movies, music and videos on my 16:10 20.1" using, mostly, Apple DVD Player, iTunes and VLC and have enjoyed the basic/added functionality of my system as an entertainment center—especially the DMR.

I have to give "Ease of Use" the full five stars because, even upon first configuring the mapping interface, you realize that most of the buttons are preset to be immediately used in most of the widely used audio/video end-user applications. While the same can't be said of the button assignment [process] when adding a new set for a new program, I think it goes without saying that the programs usable vary quite widely in relative design so, having said that, the interface, while seemingly unintuitive at a glance, is actually quite useful insofar as the wide range of uses for the DMR. The up side of this is that you'll rarely interface with this aspect of the software's GUI.

All-in-all; a straight-forward program/software suite(?).  
(Version 2.4b4)

UMAROMC  Try searching MacUpdate... you may be confused about the SQL version installed...  
(Version 5.0.21)

UMAROMC  You da man! TANX!  
(Version 10.1)

UMAROMC  Did you do the updates in order (update-1 then update-2)?  
(Version 3369-2)

UMAROMC  Very cool/informative link! Thanks admin! =) my lil bro's gonna love to check that out...  
(Version 2.5a)

UMAROMC  Perhaps adding the addendum of "(Intel)" on the side of the main software listing (on the MacUpdate main page) would help clarify that MOST Mac users should not bother with the direct download provided...  
(Version 7.6)

UMAROMC  Alright, I just HAD to give this a "3" in the features department.

First of all, with some CFG editing, I was able to get this running as fast as Doom 3 runs on my 1GHz MDD G4/1GB RAM/Radeon 9800Pro GPU. Please note that without that GPU I would NOT attempt to buy/run this game OR Doom 3!

Second, whether unfortunately or not, I had to compare this to Doom 3 as well as Quake 2 (from which the storyline continues). Insofar as the Quake series goes it's not that much more exciting than Quake 2 was on my old BlueG3 (which ran rather well with the Rage128 but better with a flashed Voodoo3 5500 PCI, albeit with banded lightmapping) but the graphics have been upgraded to take advantage of the latest technologies. This is where Features falls short: it's not memorably better than Quake 2 (especially with its online playability and awesome old MODs like Action Quake 2!) and Doom 3 does a much better job in setting the player in an environment where he/she feels that great attention has been paid to detail to the point where one may actually feel startled or frightened and otherwise enveloped in the game— Quake 4 falls a bit short of this. Sure there are things that you may see that may be described as looking technologically "awesome"... but I still feel a bit detached from the game.

That being said, I can't say I'm not having fun playing it. The weaponry is varied but you'll have a difficult time deciding which is really your favorite as there is not one that does/gives(?) that maximum amount of damage with a short amount of burst rounds where I might say; "Oh crap! THIS is my gun!" The rail gun proves difficult to aim and having to reload after just three shots is quite annoying where only a few guys may need to be liquidated and you spend half the time reloading.

The play is pretty linear, more or less like its predecessor (in storyline), and getting stuck trying to find my way to procede can be frustrating as I soon discover that I was supposed to be looking for some well-placed rabbit hole... err, vent. This was done in Doom 3 as well but the placing seemed to be a bit more intuitive with where one had to go...

Okay, I'll sum it up: if you like shooters and already have 'em all, get Quake 4. If you want to show off the graphic capabilities of your new system and already have Doom 3, UT 2004 and Halo, get Quake 4. If you just feel like it, get it... if you're tight on money this is NOT a must-get.

Out of five, if there was an Overall rating, I'd give this a 3 1/2.  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  For the .doc files I'd recommend the OS X-native NeoOffice.  
(Version 0.8.0a949)

UMAROMC  You could try using an Apple Firmware updater. :p  
(Version 0.4a)

UMAROMC  Okayyyy... but the latest WMV codec is at version 9. I'm sure nothing's encoded with 1, 2 or 3 anymore.  
(Version 0.8.5a2)

UMAROMC  The retail price (from Intel online) is $649 for the Pro Edition, $499 for Standard.  
(Version 9.1.024)

UMAROMC  Pssst! It *states* minimum OS X 10.3  
(Version 1.4.2)

UMAROMC  Yeah I'm showing this to my dad and bro– there's no way I'm letting them buy a peecee after this! My dad's last Gateway is sitting uselessly next to my MDD G4...!  
(Version 1.0b1)

UMAROMC  Very cool, very configurable (for its simplicity) and very smooth. This is better than just about every virtual desktop software I've tried– Linux (KDE), Windoze or Mac.

Quite honestly, if I were to compare it to its Wintel and linux counterparts I'd give it a four in the Features department but this being designed so solidly and Mac-like I don't think it'd be fair.

THREE-THUMBS-UP!!! ;)  
(Version 0.52r114)

UMAROMC  LOL!  
(Version 0.52r114)

UMAROMC  After the 10.4.6 update AppleJack goes into an inifinite loop when repairing permissions... hopeful for an update soon.  
(Version 1.4.2)

UMAROMC  You can try it... but you'll be saddened with the results...  
(Version 1.6.5)

UMAROMC  I don't want to give this a review based on what I've been experiencing but I'm having serious font display problems with this application.

For one: anti-aliasing does not enable no matter what I do.

Second: The fonts that display correctly (including antialiasing) in NeoOffice revert to another font [in OpenOffice 1.x/2.x) even though font replacement is not enabled. I have a fine serif font and it's replaced with what looks like Helvetica which makes the document look even more disgusting.

I'd love to use this application because it's more responsive than NeoOffice (2.x not 1.x) but if my documents look this disgusting no matter how I change the settings then, quite unfortunately, I have to trash OpenOffice.   
(Version 2.0.1)

UMAROMC  ...any plans for a widget??? =)  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  What I really like about this widget is that it's very polished and comes across as a "Why didn't I think of that?!" design. This is excellent for those with short attention spans– like half the population today– or those that absolutely must be reminded of something very important.

The timings for the reminder can be set in minutes, hours, days, weeks or for an exact time– really cool, check it out!  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  This looks to be a solid application for what it claims to do [for the end user] and for not too bad a price.

FreeMind (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19325), though, offers much of the same functionality at the unbeatable price of free.  
(Version 2.1)

UMAROMC  Perhaps you've version 1.x?  
(Version 2.6)

UMAROMC  ...unless you've DRM-encoded files... then you still need WindowsMediaPlayer... unfortunately.  
(Version 2.0.2)

UMAROMC  Right-click on the link and choose "Save as..." The developer's ISP does not appear to have correctly set metatag data for the filetype so you'll get a page full of gibberish.

Alternatively, you could just let it all load and then save the document as-is (yes, this works, too).

:P  
(Version 1.1.1)

UMAROMC  I've been using this for a few days now and after getting over the small hump of a learning curve (I've never used an app like this, either, but I've recent need of one) I've found this to be fairly straight forward and intuitive.

I don't know what else I'd suggest that might end up making this bloatware... but I'm sure I can't be the only person that'd benefit from LARGER ICONS.

Thanks!  
(Version 0.8)

UMAROMC  No need to reply, but thanks. I was able to find the planes as available downloads from third-party sites. Really good to know... there are hundreds of planes available for download that aren't available on the CD! Good to consider for a purchase...  
(Version 8.4b2)

UMAROMC  I apologize for posting this here but I find this information difficult to locate on Laminar's website; Are the F-16 Falcon and F-22 Raptor on the X-Plane CD?  
(Version 8.4b2)

UMAROMC  It does what it claims to do, albeit not very well; an exact, universal resolution must be assigned in the setup (no resolution detection) so most images will be stretched, images must be in a specific location to be loaded rather than the ability to choose your own directory.

Definitely looking foward to version 1.1  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Thank you very much! I love when the Mac community jumps in to help the Mac community— I wouldn't give my Mac up for anything, and the community makes owning one always that much better!

You may also want to check out clamxav (search MacUpdate) and install it to keep on constant lookout for these things that are almost inevitable... it's already been updated to detect/remove Leap-A/Oompa-Loompa as well.

PEACE!  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  It is always appreciated— although and albeit many times not publicly voiced— when developers show support to those whom feel they've possibly been forgotten— as if something beautiful we use teeters on the edge of non-existance...

(I'm here with ya, man! ;)  
(Version 1.0rc5)

UMAROMC  This is a really cool widget! I just replaced my accuweather.com-linked Weather widget with this; it offers more information and is linked to locations within a smaller proximity to my location than any other weather widget or app I've come across (free or not).

Thanks.  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  I would not recommend this as putting the G4 in nap mode was eliminated because it caused system-wide freezes and kernel panicks.

A safer option is to edit Apple's CPU fan kernel extension's Property List fan table to speed up to higher RPMs at lower temperatures— CHUD tools or not I never run above 119°F with my settings.

Here's more info (it's a Google-cached page since the original doesn't seem to be up anymore):

BTW- I've a MDD G4 as well and this works perfectly...  
(Version 4.3.2)

UMAROMC  Have you attempted reinstalling it? All Adobe CS/CS2 apps along with QuarkXPress (as far as I know) require a plugin for third party font management (I use LinotypeFontXplorer).

Give it a try and I hope it works.  
(Version 3.1)

UMAROMC  Thanks for posting the update, MacUpdate.

NWN players, please see here for more details regarding the Mac patch and for direct downloads for those with the add-on packs:

(Version 1.6.7b1)

UMAROMC  Really? THREE DAYS? No wonder it never seemed to work for me!

Maybe the files should be made available as a separate download or available via P2P...  
(Version 2.6.4)

UMAROMC  I just picked this up for $9.99 from Amazon... and, by the way, version 1.0.2 is available.

http://www.aspyr.com/games.php/mac/raven/  
(Version 1.0.1)

UMAROMC  Excellent drivers! Finally the Mouse Up/Down buttons on the right side can be reassigned!

These drivers offer on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment which can be viewed on-screen and configuration of your Razer Pro mouse well beyond those built in to OS X (it's specifically for the Razer|PRO mouse but works *perfectly* with my equivalently set up Razer Diamondback).

A couple of polished/clever design features are the little test areas for double click speed and scroll speed– the double click speed tester has a slight response delay, I believe, because of the audio that plays as well as the graphic animating.

The only drawback to these excellent and appreciated drivers, it seems, is that buttons left unassigned do not revert to their pre-destined OS X function– they're disabled unless assigned a keystroke. This can be cumbersome for applications where you may have to reassign/reconfigure all those controls (ie; games) and a bit more cumbersome for applications that simply rely on having a three-button mouse setup (ie; Maya, X Windows, etc.).

I'd like to find a workaround (there are no readme's included in the download) to this shortcoming... :P  
(Version 1.6.2)

UMAROMC  Run Disk Permission Repair (using Apple's Disk Utility in /Applications/Utilities/) then try again.

If this doesn't help, attempt to post a more detailed error report (what steps do you go through and where do you encounter errors?) either here or macfixitforums.com  
(Version 4.2.1revD)

UMAROMC  This is a very good prayer reminder and is a whole lot more useful for more than just RamaDaan. Everything you wish to change can be found in the Preferences...

(Version 3.0.4)

UMAROMC  might this cover what you're looking for?

http://www.wundermoosen.com/ps-14-2-calendar-x.aspx  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  As far as I remember you are NEVER supposed to unzip the ROMs...  
(Version 0.103)

UMAROMC  FREE *cough* FREE

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19064  
(Version 1.5b3)

UMAROMC  Nope... CCC is now shareware... has been for over a year.  
(Version 3.0)

UMAROMC  DRM-compressed files do appear noted when doing searches... I just don't download them... they're usually WMV and WMA files, though.  
(Version 0.5.8)

UMAROMC  Thanks for the heads up! That's VERY important for people to know.

Do you think it's a problem with the installer or the way the installer was utilized (ie; can the installer be configurated to recognize/work around symlinks)?

Thanks.  
(Version 7.0.2)

UMAROMC  Roxio states that Internet Explorer should not be used to download the update– I'm saying "Don't use Firefox, either." using Firefox you'll get a [VERY annoying] fowarding goosechase.

Safari works fine, though... :P  
(Version 7.0.2)

UMAROMC  Dang! PCs get version 5... we get crumbs... oh well, to the trash.  
(Version 3.4)

UMAROMC  Dude, you're right. I clicked on the button to purchase it and saw the $24.95 price...

Thanks for the heads up!  
(Version 2.0)

UMAROMC  Simply an excellent application! makes me want to invest in a barcode reader for my collection...  
(Version 3.1.1)

UMAROMC  Very cool... I just get annoyed by the design of the installer to launch Safari after the installation rather than respecting the user's browser preference.  
(Version 3.1)

UMAROMC  This thing is SOOOO cool! I didn't even know it was pulled! :P I can see my house from here...! haha

Flies on my 1GHz MDD G4/Radeon9800Pro/10.4.3/1GB RAM  
(Version 3.1.0371)

UMAROMC  When registering WRITE DOWN or COPY your user NUMBER... it CANNOT be recovered later if you don't use an email address to register... like I did! lol

Peace  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  You can get Virex for Mac from McAfee but, at least online, you can purchase no less than 5 seats (which costs over $200!)!  
(Version 12/14/05)

UMAROMC  ...and how might I inquire is that done...(packaging)?  
(Version 1.0.1)

UMAROMC  Edit the *.cfg files of most games and you can set the resolution to anything that supports 4:3, 16:9 or 16:10 ratios...  
(Version 3.6.2)

UMAROMC  Thanks for the tip!  
(Version 6.0)

UMAROMC  NO WAY! This is the freakin BESTEST! I've got the ONLY stupid smile across my face!

Sorry for the "2" on "Value" rating... it's based on whether I can live without it.  
(Version 1.0.3)

UMAROMC  It's the installer/uninstaller. After installation you may have to click "Customize" and select "uninstall"...  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Latest version of Safari (addressed with OS X 10.4.3 update) DOES pass this test– as is noted with the Apple knowledgebase readme for the 10.4.3 update...  
(Version 1.5rc1)

UMAROMC  Sounds like you could use a Permissions Repair...  
(Version 1.5rc1)

UMAROMC  This is because StuffIt Deluxe (SINCE 7.x!) reads into the archives so the user can see what's in them via the contextual menu. :P All you have to do is remove the *.cm (contextual menu) items from the directory they're installed... BASIC troubleshooting...  
(Version 10.0.1)

UMAROMC  It sounds like their gimmick here is that it runs fast with a lot of bells and whistles and probably handles a lot of functions a photographer (or rich people with money burning a hole in their pockets– or idiots that haven't learned their lessons about debt) with the overhead being that a lot of RAM is required to have all of the data (including as much cache as possible) and a very fast CPU to traffic-manage all of that data at a very consistent pace.  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  It's called checkpoints... and it's not as bad as in Halo. :P  
(Version 1.0.2)

UMAROMC  Very cool! Could use help/improvement on the monkey's graphics but a cool SS nonetheless...  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  make sure you've OS X 10.4

Slap the *.qtz file into your ~/Library/Screen Savers folder or ./Library/Screen Savers folder, launch Desktop & Screen Saver Control Panel, select screen saver... violá!  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  This thing's really cool. Get-info still shows 0.7.0, app is 0.7.1, though. To select an odd (ie; 16:10) ratio display I still have to go through the package contents to edit the INI file... other than that it's quite smooth and informative.

Thanks.  
(Version 0.7.1)

UMAROMC  Very nice pictures- thanks for sharing! ...and making it free, the way it should be! ;)

Hope y'all had a good time!  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  Would it be possible to detect SVCDs/VCDs, DivX, XviD, etc. formats on discs?

Nifty concept indeed!  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Does this program allow on-the-fly, personal commentaries (ie; personal research)? ...or can I only download other peoples' commentaries?

Thanks.  
(Version 1.2.1a)

UMAROMC  If it's a bible module I'd click the arrow next to "bibles"...  
(Version 1.2.1a)

UMAROMC  About MacSword states it is version 1.2.0a. I downloaded MS+KJV and, although it stated the same, I was prompted to download the newer version...  
(Version 1.2.1a)

UMAROMC  Trying to fill in any form, like this one, while you've the "Begin finding when you begin typing" radio button checked in the Accessibility preferences checked begind auto finding and does NOT allow you to fill in ANY forms!

Rendering's retarded; I just noticed, after re-installing 1.0.7, that not even MacUpdate.com renders correctly and quitting requires TWO quits.  
(Version 1.5b2)

UMAROMC  Best p2p I've used yet!!!!!!!!!  
(Version 0.5.2)

UMAROMC  Welllllllllll... at least the AdBlock extension works... :p  
(Version 1.5b1)

UMAROMC  ...try clearing your cache or something because the download and DMG mounting worked fine for me...  
(Version 2.6.3)

UMAROMC  Very good! There's that rare AVI file that nothing else can play that I use MPlayer for so its a definite for the codec playback "arsenal"...!  
(Version 1.0pre8 rc4)

UMAROMC  I.... must concur.  
(Version 1.0pre8 rc4)

UMAROMC  Yeah... it's called A $20 REBATE... :p  
(Version 7)

UMAROMC  Give a LOT more info than what you've stated and email them or read their FAQ– you answer's probably there...  
(Version 0.2.6b13)

UMAROMC  NAWWWICE! How's about a button to "Amuse me!" (update quote) :P  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  I've been using this since the super-buggy beta days on Classic. The biggest difference now is that the community is dead. At any given time one used to be able to log on and chat with other users for social connection, troubleshooting, gameplay tips or general stupidity... not anymore.

Considering most of the games GameRanger supports have built-in server browsers and the afore-mentioned fact... I see almost no need to have this anymore... but it's like one of those old apps that I used to love that I find it hard to erase...

...eh... took me a LOOOONG time to finally erase Quake 1 and 2! lol  
(Version 4.1.1)

UMAROMC  CRAP! Re-installed to try and attempt re-assigning the side buttons of my Razer Diamondback from being MouseWheelUp/MouseWheelDown buttons! No avail! in the middle of a game of CoD, if I'm not careful, I switch weapons in the middle of a firefight...! >:(

This program's usefulness [for me] was still *only* in OS 9... then it was worth $20...

SHIZZZNIT!  
(Version 10.3.9)

UMAROMC  Good update for, pretty much, one reason: vid_restart.

For some reason, when I launched Doom 3, the Finder's pointer would stay stuck smack in the middle of the screen- from the point the opening video is played, in game, until I quite the program entirely.

Enabling the terminal and using vid_restart now not only doesn't crash Doom 3 (forcing me to hard reboot!) but it gets rid of the dang pointer!

Yay.  
(Version 1.3)

UMAROMC  This is really cool. There are a lot of customization options– nothing near the level of a Linux GUI (ie; KDE) but just enough to make me happy... worth droppin' a couple of bux on...  
(Version 2.3.3)

UMAROMC  Okay, I figured it out. I have a 16:10 ratio screen, these ratios are not options in the GUI for a setting but CAN be set– BUT you have to right-click on the app, choose "Show Package Contents" and fing "config.ini"

Here you can set screen_w and screen_h. I changed it to 1680 and 1050 and the app launched again like expected.

I'd originally chosen 1600x1200 and it hadn't launched afterward...

PEACE!  
(Version 0.6.2)

UMAROMC  Pretty cool! Just don't change any settings... it'll *never* launch again! :P  
(Version 0.6.2)

UMAROMC  It's the Ying to the Monopoly "Yang" *cough* Microsoft *cough*  
(Version 1.7.9)

UMAROMC  Okay... where the heck IS IT...???!  
(Version 1.7.9)

UH OH, "ANONYMOUS"  I don't foresee a personal need for this software right now, but I understand being upset if you believe such software is designed to work in a way which seems to circumvent built-in, "free" technologies that do not skim personal information about the user.

Hey... they might even delete this Comment! :P lol

I went to the website, the description I saw does not appear to cull any more information than the user would give away simply by being on the internet... but if it IS designed in such a [previously stated] malevolent manner I'd avoid it at all costs...  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  Yeah, it was labelled wrong at Macromedia's site- I downloaded it... :P  
(Version 8.0beta)

UMAROMC  LOL! I head to read that again... s l o w l y....  
(Version 1.0.3)

UMAROMC  Oh crap! I haven't tried this in years (since my good old days with the BlueG3/300 - she served me well through college!)... I'm not telling anyone in my house about it, though– it's pretty much on ALL DAY being used for games and chatting... thank God I edited one of the *.kext's *.plist files to control what temperatures the fan raises its RPMs at...  
(Version 0.82)

UMAROMC  SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! ...it might start to cost money! ;)  
(Version 0.82)

UMAROMC  ...been my new text editor of choice for awhile now!  
(Version 2.1)

UMAROMC  Ummmm... do you mean Galaxian... or Galaga...?  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  VLC peeblz...! I luv jooss!! =)  
(Version 0.8.2)

UMAROMC  lol ...well... at least OS X knew what to do with it... ! Thanks!  
(Version 2.3a9)

UMAROMC  *.tbz ????  
(Version 2.3a9)

UMAROMC  Haha...! THAT was funnie!  
(Version 1409.1)

UMAROMC  Hmmmm... sounds good to a forgetful dude like myself! :(  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  Same here... no problem updating and didn't need to re-enter key- although the 6.1 update (and previous updates) DID require it... this is the first time I didn't need to whip out the box...  
(Version 6.1.1)

UMAROMC  alhamduliLah wa bismillah

Peace be with you and thank you very much, brother!

This date converter works just fine... using both the english and arabic versions suggested if you want to learn dates in arabic (albeit harder to read in arabic- OS X arabic font shortcoming I think, Windows unfortunately has better arabic font utilization :P ).

Only one suggestion, brother- have it detect the present date automatically and fill in the fields with that as default... fi sabeelullah.

thanks again!

wa3laykum asSalaamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

cool website layout, too...  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  So it's an "S" in a bubble... so? Does everything have to be Aqua-compatible? lol jk

I like it... at least it stands out, then... no?  
(Version 0.77)

UMAROMC  Oh wow- I just read about this Bluetooth vulnerability in New Scientist as well...  
(Version 2005-006)

UMAROMC  AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!

Unfortunately I had to replace my bootleg 4-port USB 1.1 PCI card with a 2.0 card because I kept getting USB timeout errors at the commandline... but now I have a USB 2.0 card (ADS Tech, $19.99)! ;)

This was almost TOO simple to use and just worked- I think I'm going to see if I can make a donation...

MDD G4/OS 10.4.1

Thanks again...!!! =)  
(Version 1.4.1)

UMAROMC  This thing is SO extremely helpful! Thank you!  
(Version 1.5.4)

UMAROMC  Oh dang! I JUSt found out today from that damn Aspyr newsletter! :P  
(Version 1.5)

UMAROMC  WHAT?! AWESOME!  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  ...BEEN trying to figure this out for AWHILE! if I do... I'll come back n try to help...!

I got my cable from RadioShack, though- found the kernel extension here ( http://tech.prolific.com.tw/visitor/v_filebrw_result.asp ) just TODAY! BitPim still won't work, although it detects it quicker...! Nice. I'm off to LG's site to look for 6000 device drivers- if any.  
(Version 0.7.32)

UMAROMC  "2. Some Widgets (e.g., Weather) will not remember their preferences/settings once they're closed."

...have you run a permission repair after updating to 10.4? All my widgets remember their settings.

Also, the Dashboard Widgets are a lot more straightfoward insofar as getting to their settings- that little "i" is a smooth feature, definitely.

About Dashboard not being integrated with the desktop- that's preference as you stated... I personally would be annoyed at the fact that I could not choose whether or not to hide everything you'd opened and, depending on each widget's settings, they'd overlap on what you were viewing and I'd always be repositioning one or more of them to get them out of my viewing space...

c'est la vie, indeed...  
(Version 2.0)

UMAROMC  Oh, otherwise it's really cool...! :)  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  Having this running (even when not visible) makes SURE the CPU is 100% occupied ALL the time... :P

...can't have that now...  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  I believe iTunes MusicStore™-purchased tunes can only be burned five times before they are locked... actually.  
(Version 6.1)

UMAROMC  ....oh CRAP! >:(  
(Version 6.1)

UMAROMC  Good post...  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  ...I'd suggest utilizing options in the installer to allow specific directory installation... not that this really needed an installer, did it?  
(Version 2.18.194)

UMAROMC  ...DAMN... first time playing it since I upgraded to 10.4 and the Finder's pointer stays SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN, FROZEN!!!!!!!! Extremely ANNOYING...! Anyone else...??? thanks  
(Version 3)

UMAROMC  Uhhh huh... btw, it's spelled "sophisticated"...  
(Version 1.9.1)

UMAROMC  Me thinks I'll be giving that DoorStop X Firewall software a try (http://www.opendoor.com/doorstop/)... seems it might be intuitive enough for me not to have to disable it entirely just to play multiplayer games as I have to do with Firewalk X because I can't figure out how to open up specific ports just for gaming... :P  
(Version 2.3.7)

UMAROMC  Just.... blinks... doesn't "run" from what I can tell... :P  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  Dunno if this was worth it... tried playing some of the QT7 files from their HDTheatre listing- choppy as sh*t!

MDD G4 1GHz/1GB RAM/OS 10.4/Radeon9800 Pro blah blah blah... choppy as sh*t!  
(Version 7.0)

UMAROMC  ..oooooooh! Finally! if this works... KUDOS!!! Death to advertising! >:D  
(Version 1.7)

UMAROMC  Won't install on 10.4 >:P  
(Version 2.3.7)

UMAROMC  *I* wouldn't even do that with Panther... and the minimums have raised for Tiger...  
(Version 10.4)

UMAROMC  For the AVIs I'd try to use VLC or MPlayer 1 or 2 before I use QT Player anyway...  
(Version 10.4)

UMAROMC  Prrdy goooood... :)  
(Version 0.3)

UMAROMC  Preferences > Privacy > Save form Information...

I'm guessing that, as a security measure, it's designed to be more reactionary/passive...  
(Version 1.0.3)

UMAROMC  ...I came to this page expecting a description that made this sound like a knockoff of the freely-available M Pler 1 and 2 or VLC... but this sounds like it has enough special features to warrant it being shareware- kudos! Too bad I'm not that heavy into video and don't have $99 to spare... :P  
(Version 1.05)

UMAROMC  "That's not firefox!" x 2 :P  
(Version 1.3.6)

UMAROMC  I concur...  
(Version 3.11)

UMAROMC  Very cool software to have!  
(Version 3.4.3)

UMAROMC  I JUST got this game today! I'm very impressed that it works so smoothly with my setup: MDD G4 1GHz/10.3.8/Radeon9800Pro/1GB RAM yes, of course it has slight hiccups here n there, but nothing intolerable- I'm AMAZED at how good it looks and how playable it remains! I tweaked the CFG file to utilize cache and raised the alloted memory for that to 32MB (from 20) and disabled shadows (although, oddly enough, the game still retains the shadow effects- just not as intense... and barely noticeable- still scared me more than a couple of times!). You've GOT to play this in the dark! :D Considering I didn't even expect it to run... I can't even express how impressed I am with the performance-

Oh yeah, the game itself is eerily fun! Wear a diaper... lol  
(Version 3)

UMAROMC  Same here as vitaly:

"NSArgumentsWrongScriptError (6)"

as soon as it's launched

MDD G4 (single CPU)/10.3.7  
(Version 7.0)

UMAROMC  AsSalaamu'3laykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

Very good ideas! ma sha Allah.  
(Version 3.0.3)

UMAROMC  Definitely a pretty hot app! Appreciated intuitiveness despite the amount of information that can be culled from this app... and a built-in OpenGL benchmark and compatibility tester (well, more compatibility than a benchmarker- an old Rage128 could handle those tests)!  
(Version 2.15)

UMAROMC  Are they really still making this... and charging? I gave up on this in the System 7 days- gave one more try to the buggy original OS X port... trashed...  
(Version 6.2.1)

UMAROMC  This is not a Screen Saver in the OS X sort of way... but, I suppose, some may regard it as so... it's a stand-alone application, though.  
(Version 1.666)

UMAROMC  WHERE THE H*LL'S THE UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!????? Servers..... dwindling.... need to...... play....... online......  
(Version 1.4)

UMAROMC  Prrrty kool  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  The computer versions and XBox versions are different in difficulty because of how much more difficult it is to aim with a gamepad- so they made the pc version harder... sorry, thought that was common knowledge...  
(Version 1.3)

UMAROMC  Pssst- it's right there, under 'Requirements'  
(Version 1.1)

UMAROMC  This has replaced Safari as my main browser for now with the help of bookmark importing utilities... the only thing I've noticed is that it can be pretty slow with DNS lookups, anyone know if there are lines that can be added/edited to about:config to speed this up or cache DNS lookup info? Thanks  
(Version 1.0)

UMAROMC  You should give NeoOffice J a try... changed my mind about the speed and functionality of an office suite running in Java...  
(Version 2.3 (0417.64))
