STAINER  MacLover Scrooge: Your comment and suggestion would be great if it included an alternative and viable business model for MacUpdate so they don't have to starve for your lousy $20 worth of added value on top of an already free and great service. Geez, some people...

STAINER  Without RAID-support Drive Genius is not particularly useful. The fact that not even DriveSlim™ works with a RAID is just plain weird.

STAINER  The term "private browsing" is easily misunderstood - particularly when the concept of second-party session cookies is misunderstood as well. A cookie that only lives through one browsing session does not compromise privacy any more than simply visiting a website. All your movements on a website during a private browsing session can still be tracked by the website. By turning off cookies altogether you're only making it slightly harder.

The only way a second-party cookie can compromise privacy is when used to track users from visit to visit across multiple sessions. Private browsing prevents this.

Due to the amount of web applications that simply won't work without cookies, I can see why Apple instead of creating a separate preference set for private browsing, just enforced the cookie option ensuring a minimum level of functionality. Whenever a Safari tab or window is closed during private browsing, the history and cookies for that tab/window is purged (as long as the site in the closing tab is unique across all windows). The same happens when Safari is quit or private browsing is turned off.

Third party cookies on the other hand is something everyone should reject (IMHO)

STAINER  Timothy: It is the 3D acceleration feature not Fusion in itself that is incompatible with the ATI-hardware.

From vmware.com:

########

3D acceleration is disabled on systems with ATI chipsets

Because enabling 3D acceleration on Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with ATI chipsets might cause VMware Fusion to fail, 3D acceleration is disabled in VMware Fusion 2.0.5 on Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with ATI chipsets. You can re-enable this setting when new ATI drivers with the fix are available.

########

So, unless your patient record software requires 3D-acceleration (odd requirement, perhaps?), I really recommend that you check out the fusion-community on WMware.com. They are really helpful.

I really understand your frustration, but anyone professionally or heavily dependent on their software/hardware can not just run any software update immediately on release and expect no problems.

STAINER  Great! So simple and effective. Only feature I miss is the ability to set a custom php binary.

STAINER  Why are you giving VMware Fusion 4 out of 5 stars when you're clearly reviewing Parallells Desktop?  
(Version 2.0.1)

STAINER  VMware Fusion 2.0 is simply just great. It has added tremendous value to my workflow. I'd gladly pay for this update - and the fact that VMware made this a free update for 1.*-users, makes it even greater.

STAINER  The slowness you are experiencing, could that be the AutoCompleteDelay setting?

From the BBEdit manual:

The delay can be adjusted from the command line if desired:

defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Editor:AutoCompleteDelay -float 0.5 # sets the auto-complete delay to half a second
