HALEAKALARI ach... the only thing which prevents me from using opera on my mac(s) is its lack of keychain integration/support. i cannot fathom why opera doesn't have its mac team working on this, i mean, a lot of us (including myself) have hundreds of keychain entries, and there's no way i'm going to regularly use a browser unless it can read and write keychain entries... in-fact, even an importer [from keychain to wand] of some sort, would be a good step. i'm sure a lot of people would be more apt to try opera for mac, if some sort of keychain support was added.

HALEAKALARI in light of your conjugated spinoza citation(s) [although lightly misspelled] i will recant my usage of the word "moron". i am familiar with "spinozaian pantheism" but will note the following; somewhat ironically, its vocabulary/logic is often used to describe or validate the concept of a singular god, especially in regard to judeo-christian esoteric/mystical traditions. although you could consider this to be negative, it is quite positive to me. a non-personified singular "god concept" which can be argued through reason is highly preferable to a quasi-singular personified "god concept" which can only be argued through repetition. the point is that the judeo-christian concept of god, if one so wishes, can be easily reconciled with "spinozaian pantheism", yielding a kind of logical panentheism. this reconciliation actually allows for the further development/enhancement of [the more stringent and] true monotheism. in-fact there seem to be many natural parallels and lucid connections between gnostic cosmologies of the judeo-christian persuasion and later "spinozaian pantheism" (which arguably expounds upon certain aristotelian concepts, amongst others as well). none-the-less, i maintain that the religious scriptures [including non-judeo-christian flavours] of antiquity still hold great value (and rightly so) in the fields of the humanities.

AppCleaner | Jun 13 2008 |
HALEAKALARI I hope the author of AppCleaner keeps up with this page, because it has been quite difficult to get a response from him through e-mail, but i have a bug report which is as follows: Under OS X 10.4.11, AppCleaner Version 1.2 does not detect or display any Widgets under its Widgets section. Furthermore, AppCleaner's History function does not seem to work at all either, when you click "Show History..." from the "Window" menu or use the keyboard shortcut (Apple-L), nothing is displayed. This occurs on an Intel Core Duo Also, in AppCleaner Version 1.2, under OS X 10.5.3, although the History window is accessible, the Widgets section exhibits the same problem it does on OS X 10.4.11, as it does not seem to detect or display any Widgets. This occurs on an Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook. (Version 1.2) | |

HALEAKALARI this program is freaking great. it has allowed me to efficiently keep track of and access quickly, thousands of scriptural citations, which has aided my writing of many a paper. i mean, unless you want to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on other "bible software", this is where it is at. there are many modules in many languages available (even some non-religious/dogmatic texts, also maps and such), and it uses webkit for its display of the modules, which means it natively supports any language your mac does. 5 stars! having said that; beff, you are a moron. one can argue with the accuracy of most historical accounts from the periods(s) in which the old and new testament literatures were written just as well as one can argue with the historicity of the biblical accounts themselves. the fact is, that aside from being inspirational and "spiritually relevant" reading for many people across the world, ANY "older" religious texts (that would include hindu, buddhist, zoroastrian, jewish, christian etc...) do AT-LEAST offer us valuable insight into early stages of human, cultural and psychological development. some of us study judeo-christian biblical texts for the same reason people across the globe are taught about greek and mesopotamian mythologies [as early as 4th or 5th grade in many schools], to gain knowledge about certain periods in time that we would otherwise know very little about, if it wasn't for the texts. older religious or "mythological" texts, regardless of the doctrines they espouse, offer us treasure troves of information about the history of this thing we call, the "human condition". atheist or theist, agnostic or gnostic, older religious scriptures can teach everyone a lot. to discount these valuable learning tools as merely "fantasies", is just plain ignorant.

BEFF Hi again , my "vedian" friend. A missing centum is a world to us, not to horses of Eocene. Feet above ground are relative. I thought "homo cogitat" where the essence, and that this is a corollary of both my citations. A singular good will be a to narrow outlook. Consider this:(norwegian) "Og når det vise menneske har sett
at alle ting som lever, lever i
hans eget selv, blir han omsider fri
for illusjon. Han ser at alt er ett."
Quality of insight vaporize illusion. "Apps with a historical/political angle are of the fruitful flavour". The historical value of religious phenomenons are not a dispute of mine. Promoting religious ideas returns complex philosophic thesis. "Cocaine and religion will both make you high". Van Morrison says in "Dweller On the Threshold": - Feel the angel of the present In the mighty crystal fire Lift me up and soothe my darkness Let me travel evan higher - These animations are of human origin. Religious systems abuse human sentiments. The core idea of any religion is repetition, -every sunday, 5 times a day - and is crucial to its standing. Referring to South Africa, April 1993, Mandela addressed the nation appealing for calm: "Tonight I am reaching out to every single South African, black and white, from the very depths of my being. A white man, full of prejudice and hate, came to our country and committed a deed so foul that our whole nation now teeters on the brink of disaster. A white woman, of Afrikaner origin, risked her life so that we may know, and bring to justice, this assassin. The cold-blooded murder of Chris Hani has sent shock waves throughout the country and the world. ...Now is the time for all South Africans to stand together against those who, from any quarter, wish to destroy what Chris Hani gave his life for – the freedom of all of us." Mr. Mandelas (90 year a few days ago) philosophy has not been repeated in South Africa according to recent news. The human brain is a small match for the human brain. MacUpdates admin may not concur us having this discursive at MacUpdate. I like our saturday-sword-fight, so if another forum is recommended, I´ll join you. Looking forward to your response. Have a nice week HALEAKALARI. Best regards from your new found friend; Terje (Version 1.4b1) | |

Camino | May 12 2008 |
HALEAKALARI camino has had ad-blocking and flash-block for a while now. it's ad-blocking feature might not be as easily configurable as you would like it to be (as it just utilizes a bunch of css rules from within the application bundle), but it is there. (Version 1.6) | |

WhatSize | Feb 29 2008 |
HALEAKALARI this program used to be free just about 3 versions ago, i still use the free version on my tiger box. when i got a newer macbook with leopard, i decided to try out the universal binary beta of disk inventory x and it worked fantastically. if anyone is looking for software which performs the same function(s) as whatsize, i suggest you try disk inventory x. i don't think it will ever become shareware as it is under the gpl. plus, it works great on both 10.4 and 10.5. the universal binary can be downloaded from here; http://www.derlien.com/download.php?file=dix1.0universal (Version 4.2) | |

Bible Buddy | Nov 20 2007 |
HALEAKALARI it is so nice to see more developers distributing bible software utilities as genuine freeware. for one it shows sincerity of the developer's beliefs and second off, the spread of knowledge especially in regards to any established wisdom/religious tradition should ideally always be accessible to anyone interested. regardless of their monetary situation. a hearty kudos!
