I've seen a skunk once in my life. It did nothing.

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

So I was reading earlier in the forum that they deleted off topic posts (Lispsums or something). How on topic do they expect us to be?

The Princess Bride: A great movie, an even better book.

Almost there, I might have to call it a night.

I guess just not putting in single words or dumb stuff like the AIM room was doing ("OMG LOL THE MAC FAIRY!").

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

Well, I guess I better start contributing so we can get to 300. howdy y'all, welcome back.

Hahah being in rural-ish PA we have a ton of skunks. There was one that we chased off our porch just about a week ago. Unfortunately it sprayed.

So very tempted to report this as spam...

I'm blue da bu dee da bu di....oh ya I went there.

Your own post?

Yes, with the new 70% update, we are still right on, so tis' definitely 300 that we need to make it to.  Held true through 3 updates now so let's do it!

Since people were posting skunk pictures I thought I'd search for some. There are quite a few in the cute overload archives.

300?  That's madness!

Good.

So: Leopard - Does anyone think that the updates aren't as big as Tiger's, or are they bigger?

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

The updates are going to be a pain in the ass, from a developer's point of view.  Lots of new stuff to worry about, code-wise.

I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned it yet, but skunks smell bad. I love contributing to a good cause.

Seems to be going slowly - In the IRC people are talking about posting random numbers to the inside_ajax url and saying it raises percentages - anyone have any thoughts?

funny you should say that because i just saw the episode of family guy with the exploding muffins last night

that and blades of glory are enough head decapitations for a week don't you think

mmm... Extra chewy

We're at around 220. Only 80 more posts to go (assuming 300 is right, which I think it is). And since I've signed on we seem to be going at a pretty quick pace. Might even make it in the next hour if we're productive monkeys.

Why does it say "Fora" (i.e., plural) if it's confined to this single forum?

Madness?

THIS IS MACHEIST!

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

maybe its multi threaded

mmm... Extra chewy

Well for me, Time Machine is going to be huge....also Spaces is GINORMOUS for me since I really didn't care for Virtue Desktop.  The coverflow in the finder will be neat but less useful.

For me the biggest thing will be stacks.  there are so many times i want to have 30 files that are all in the same project right at my fingertips in the dock without having to dig for them so I will definitly be one of those journeying to the closest Apple store which is either King of Prussia or Pittsburgh and picking up a copy

ruralish pa too.....nepa baby

So, my MacBook Pro didn't seem to handle the skunkworks page running under Safari too well...I had it open in the background, and the laptop actually got *burning* hot.  Safari was only taking up like 20% of the CPU, too...closed the page and it cooled down, but I burned a finger!

MADDNESS!!!!??!!!!!

THIS

IS

SPARRRRRRTAAAAA!!!!!!

Yeah it is.

I cant wait for the key to be revealed!!! Guys keep doing your work and posting relevantly here. Im going to bed.

Peace up A-town....

Han shot first.

Ah interesting observation. I thought about it, and wondered if that referred to the forum. Thanks for filling me in about the plural business. I don't know if any of the other topics are active. Perhaps posting there helps out as well. But so far as I can tell posting here works so mine as well go with what we know works.

It just seems that those things are miniscule for a major system update. Tiger had Spotlight - that's ginormous. Dashboard - major section of the operating system. Sure, Time Machine could be considered on that par, but how many people are going to buy external hard drives?

I just hope Core services get a lot of use in the 3rd party and the new iLife.

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

Murdernickle,
Ah, yes, the new Finder features will be great.  A lot of the changes to API and system calls will force a number of changes in some codebases I manage that I'm not looking forward to, though.

Wow...we're doing pretty well....if we keep up at this rate, it'll take up til about 2:30 A< EST to get to 300

It's like how "IRC" links to a single MacHeist chat.

I'm dying here.   I left skunkworks and now can't get back in! AArgh

GO GREEN

I'd like to see 300 hit faster than that - I'm already tired and I've got plans to get some DimSum for lunch tomorrow - it'll be tasty, but I hope I'm not too tired to enjoy it!

2:30!!!  My wife is going to kill me already.  I don't think I can make it.  Post on fellow MacHeisters (?).  I will see you in the morning.

And i can't find the AIM chatroom names again!

I was having issues for a bit too, but things are back

Ever wonder what would happen if you crossed a skunk with an ape?

Well, apparently you'd get the Florida Skunk Ape, Florida's version of the Sasquatch.

Patrickloggins,
We still have 3 to 4 months before Leopard is released, so there's a good bet that Apple hasn't announced all of the major features for the upgrade.  If Apple decides to ship with ZFS as the main file system, it would have a huge impact across the board for perfomance, stability, etc.  Not something that your average user would appreciate up front, but the 3rd party applications that could utilize a file system change could be quite appealing.

On the Leopard side convo: I thought about waiting to get a new Mac till Leopard (college send off gift), but most of the features would be not life changing to me. Spaces seems nice though. I am think about just getting a new comp now and maybe upgrading later. Any reason why I should wait (ie new hardware changes)?

So I killd my cookies and tried again  and the auth req screen just keeps staring me in the face with my face staring me in the face.  darn camera sprite.  should a webpage be able to do that?

GO GREEN

So I'll help get to 300 anyway and hope things miraculously start functioning again

GO GREEN

I guess you're right, but we're supposed to be seeing a "feature complete" beta here.
I don't think they'll reveal a major feature between now and then.
Have they pulled something like that before?

All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man.

Mmm interesting woot today, too bad I need MagSafe

GO GREEN

Yay, up to 83%, we're progressing!  Let's go guys and gals!, like 50 more!
