ROBACKJA  This is really annoying now. This package contains IOAHCIFamily.kext, I tried rebuilding the extensions cache, on Snow Leopard, `sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions` will cause the OS to rebuild the cache. Reboot.

But after startup, I go through two 20+ seconds pauses. The first pause beach-balls. The second pause, the cursor remains the black pointer. After that, the pauses seem to go away. I am thinking of restoring the old driver from my time machine backup...

I guess I should file a bug report with Apple. It never ends anymore.. The transition to the dark side of software is happening. haha. j/k. hopefully Apple can get this worked out (sooner than later).

(Version 1.0)

ROBACKJA  I only ever had rare and random beach-balls (mostly during open file dialogs), installed this update, 2 15-20 seconds stalls in a matter of 5 minutes. This an anti-performance update for me.

ROBACKJA  Try looking into 7za or Bzip2 compression (plenty of free tools also). ZIP is by far the worse compression (especially for things like text) but is also the most compatible.  
(Version 2010 14.0)

ROBACKJA  Yea, what crap. Silverlight through the back door!! LULZ. Just wait, its only a matter of time before Silverlight is *part* of the Flip4Mac install without option to deselect it.  
(Version 2.3.0.11b)

ROBACKJA  Carbon is only one part of being 64-bit... if you are talking about supporting 10.4. Cocoa frameworks on 10.4 are 32-bit only. In 10.4, if you wanted 64-bit application, you had to make a helper application (command line UNIX tool) that your GUI application called to.

So for iTunes to be 64-bit, it has to both convert to Cocoa and drop 10.4 support at the same time.  
(Version 9.0)

ROBACKJA  A 30" monitor has a high resolution. Mine is 2560x1600. Things are much smaller physically on the screen. The dpi is higher than say a 24" monitor @ 1920x1200 or a 15" laptop screen @ 1440x900.

So my point was, even at that DPI I am still able to see the icon clearly. and again, I like it. But its only my opinion. That is why I said it would be nice to see the icon be an option in the preferences.  
(Version 1.1)

ROBACKJA  I'd have to say, I much rather the coffee cup icon over the ZZZ text. And thats on a 30" monitor. I could easily see the difference between white (empty) and brown (full).

That being said, its all about options, and what icons someone likes someone probably hates. Maybe future versions can have both set of icons. That way if ppl are having trouble seeing the cup icon they could switch to text :)  
(Version 1.1)

ROBACKJA  The SSH tunneling still doesn't work with shared-keys. A little frustrating :p  
(Version 1.0b9)

ROBACKJA  Agreed. Plus, you are asking for donations for something that can be done easily (and quicker) via Terminal than starting up a GUI app.

1) edit the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist and add arch=x86_64 to the kernel flags for 64 bit and arch=i386 for 32 bit, remove arch= to reset to default.

2) or in Terminal.app

# 64bit

$ sudo nvram boot-args="arch=x86_64"

# 32bit

$ sudo nvram boot-args="arch=i386"

# Snow Leopard Default

$ sudo nvram boot-args=""  
(Version 1.1)

ROBACKJA  Well, most (if not all) compression algorithms compress in chunks or blocks, bzip, gz, 7z, etc. If BetterZip used an API to extract files, for example, unrar source provides a way to build as a library, then progress could be reported on a per file basis.

But I assume BetterZip just calls the UNIX command line executables, so an alternative using 2 progress bars. One overall progress, and one current file progress. Overall progress would work as it does now. Second progress would work if you knew the file size of file currently being extracted. the second progress bar could monitor the extracted size and report on individual progress.  
(Version 1.8.1)

ROBACKJA  Thank you for the screen resizing addition (maintaining aspect ratio) :) that was quick!  
(Version 0.96.96)

ROBACKJA  Let me correct myself. I apologize. I tried using only "tight low bandwidth" and apparently the GNOME remote desktop VNC server (vino) doesn't support that, so it defaulted to RAW probably. I enabled all possible encodings and my 30k/s on 1920x1200 display is back!

I still hold strong on my screen resizing issue...  
(Version 0.96.92)

ROBACKJA  Both 0.96.90 and 0.96.92 are slow and unusable compared to 0.96.86. The network transfers alone are went from 30kb/s to 300kb/s (using tight encoding). I wish I could go back to old version.

Also, screen resizing, I should be able to hold "shift" or something and keep the screen aspect ratio, otherwise everything is all distorted.  
(Version 0.96.92)

ROBACKJA  I've been using Querious for about 3 weeks, maybe more. It is extremely stable. I've tried using the MySQL GUI Tools, but it was a complete joke. Navicat has a Lite version which is free and pretty nice, but the interface is quite old and a little cumbersome to use.

I am very happy with it and I really look forward to future releases. And I too would rather see Postgres than MySQL 4. Legacy DB that lacks many features compared to MySQL 5.x.  
(Version 1.0fc1)

ROBACKJA  Noise Ninja just has such an outdated interface. It certainly works, which is most important though. Would like to update to the UI, more friendly, modern, etc.  
(Version 2.3.2)

ROBACKJA  Occasionally need to check how badly IE6/7/8 renders any websites, VirtualBox + XP and Vista Business installed with ease. (One exception with 2.1.0, the 2nd half of Vista's installation did not like VT-x enabled. Leaving it disabled, it installed fine, and seems to run without issue with it enabled)  
(Version 2.1.2)

ROBACKJA  Roxio's pricing is a freaking joke. The ridiculous cost and minor feature updates to which a program which never fully worked for me. I tried any many times to use the video converter to convert Dixv or Xvid videos to iPod videos. Failed to produce non-corrupt videos every time.  
(Version 10)

ROBACKJA  Yes, 0.9.2 has very bad playback (divx,xvid,mpeg4). skipping and freezing video while audio continues, then 10-20 seconds later, the video catches back up.  
(Version 0.9.2)

ROBACKJA  man. real-suck. when will realplayer realize people DONT want a pile of junk with their video player.

video player only. no daemons, agents, etc. please. real player makes me sick to my stomach.  
(Version 11.0 build 876)

ROBACKJA  Absolutely nothing to upgrade from Toast 8 (especially at $89). Roxio pulling stuff like this, just makes me look for other alternatives, especially open source ones. disgusting business practice.  
(Version 9.0.2)

ROBACKJA  yea, full screen is screwed up again. Back to quicktime with Perian codecs, at least with Leopard full screen in leopard works as aspected.  
(Version 0.8.6d)

ROBACKJA  Stuff Expander is on version 12, yet expanding a multi-part RAR file

still displays horrible progress bar.

Example: You have a RAR archive composed of 9 RAR files.

example.rar

example.r00

example.r01

example.r02

example.r03

example.r04

example.r05

example.r06

example.r07

StuffIt opens example.rar and the progress bar goes to 99% after doing

example.rar, but it has 8 more RAR files to go. So it is impossible to

get a read on how much longer the expansion is going to take.

Please fix this. SOOO annoying. thanks  
(Version 12.0)

ROBACKJA  You buy Toast, then they update Popcorn with the same features. Then they update Toast to the new features of popcorn. etc. what a gimmick.  
(Version 3.0)

ROBACKJA  Great addition to Quicktime. Now I can play all my DivX and Xvid movies with mp3,aac,ac3 audio, etc without using another video player. VLC has always been nice to me, but had its share of problems in the past. Now I like having both around. :)

thanks developer(s)  
(Version 1.0)

ROBACKJA  Great to see open-source multi-platform application. Very simple interface. Easy to use, low memory and resource footprint.

Nice changes since 0.6, some private trackers are starting to un-ban this client, but it really needs a few extras to really become a Azureus replacement.

1) Selective file downloads, meaning you can select only some of the files in the torrent for download, ignoring others

2) Have the ability to use protocol encryption

3) Ban peers sending bad data (data which fails hash checks) and not report such bad data downloads (Azureus 2.5.0.0 does not report bad data downloads, which is nice feature to help with your ratio)

4) Ability to increase re-announces to the tracker beyond lower bound. Helps with private trackers which want large timeouts between annoucements  
(Version 0.71)

ROBACKJA  Great widget. Perfect in many ways. Looks are awesome and complement its functionality. :)  
(Version 2.01)

ROBACKJA  MySQL GUI tools have always worked for me, whether in Linux or Mac OSX. Previous versions for Mac OSX had problems with code-completion (seg faults), but it seems to be fixed in this version (although the completion list seems a bit off).

Also the UI seemed to be cleaned up slightly and is definitely a useful tool. I use this program on an Intel Macbook Pro and PowerPC G5.

For the person complaining about this FREE tool, if they didn't submit a bug report from mysql.com, then its their loss. This is a free tool and open-source, so testing and bug reports must come from the end-users as well for the process to work. :)  
(Version 5.0r11)

ROBACKJA  Worthless, to quote: "banned from every single private tracker that matters" and from some talk on the forums it looks like the staff on these private trackers have no interest in ever unbanning this client...  
(Version 1.0b3v34)

ROBACKJA  How is this any different from using Activity Monitor and enabling the column "Kind" which indicates Intel or PowerPC?  
(Version 0.89)

ROBACKJA  Fun game. Excellent replacement for solitaire :) High scores on game website is a nice little touch.  
(Version 1.0)

ROBACKJA  The tabs are an awesome new addition. The only remaining issue I have with SubEthaEdit is no HEREDOC string syntax support. The funny thing was, when I opened a bug on their site about it, they closed it stating, "HEREDOC not supported", like it wasn't part of the language, e.g. PHP, perl, etc.

HEREDOC strings look like this (example in php):

$var =   
(Version 2.6)

ROBACKJA  I have been using since 2.0.3, about 10min on dual-core 2.3 G5 to encode a movie after using MacTheRipper to extract it. As for 2.0.6, being able to set the process priority in the preferences was a request I made on the forums and the developers implemented it!!! hooray!  
(Version 2.0.6)

ROBACKJA  On the PowerMacG5, Gmail Notifier will not ify me of new messages. I been using 1.8.2 for quite some time. On my MacBook Pro, it works fine... :(  
(Version 1.8.2)

ROBACKJA  err requires 10.4.4 or greater... sorry 'bout that.  
(Version 2.1b)

ROBACKJA  I believe Parallels requires 10.4.6. I have 10.4.6 and the latest MacBook Pro firmware update and it ran faster then any other virutal machine I ever used, including VMWare under Linux on a dual2ghz, 2GB machine.

The only thing I had to do is turn down the hardware display acceleration in windows one notch. :)
