It's unbelievable to me that Apple still has this issue. Just another example of Apple's "philosophy" flying directly in the face of usability and common practice.

They still ship mice with one button!

Now fanbois are going to say "You don't need a DELETE, just move your cursor and hit BACKSPACE" or "Just hit CONTROL and click". Both involve an extra step (for something I need to do thousands of times a day) and both take the position that Apple should be telling us how to work, rather than the other way around.

For the record, I use both DELETE and BACKSPACE, depending on where I am in a line to be edited.

A third party app to do this? What a joke.

Thanks for explaining that the "Mighty Mouse" has finally caught up with the $20 generics, 10 years after 2 buttons became standard.

As far as trackpads go, they all suck, but many PCs have the same feature you describe.

Notice you really didn't address my main argument (that Apple Decides Whats Good For You) or deigned to defend this silly DELETE thing.

Heh. You just got "pwned".

Nvidia has been doing this for 10 years. Any machine with nvidia drivers can do this.

Heh. You cant even get a dualview on a Mac without installing a 3rd party app.

"Two fags and two dykes AREN'T married. I don't care how many screaming drag queens say otherwise. That's a fact. But who cares?"

Actually, if the law says they are married, they are married. That's a fact. Dimwit.

Don't we get these exact same viewpoints on every cable news channel? Why do we need this on Salon?

I really don't get it. This is the same crap that appears on every right-wing blog. If you really need to hear their viewpoint, go read redstate or turn on Fox. Why am I paying for a subscription to this crap?

Boring. Overhyped. Filled with whackos. Resource intensive. Graphically crappy and mostly ugly.

Culturally, just one step up from FurryMoo, where everyone pretended to have virtual sex as (and with) little furry animals.

Second Life had its 15 minutes of fame and now is mercifully dead. It was a waste of money for business that had a lot of it once. The only thing sadder were the people who thought "Linden Dollars" were worth something.

I'd say go all in.

This is not too hard.

A child cannot give consent. In our culture, traditionally, consent for a child is given to the parent, but this is not absolute. Children are protected by laws and their welfare is protected by the government. When a parent endangers a child, through action or neglect, the authorities have every reason to protect the child. A child is not property of their parents.

This is a life saving medical procedure. The child _will_ die without it. A child cannot give consent either way, so consent is passed along to the parents. But in this case, the parent's actions are endangering the child, so its time for consent to be passed to the government for the best interest of the child. Period.

The ability for parents to give consent for their child is convenant that rests on the parent's ability to protect the child. If they can't or won't, they give up the right.

No.

Specifically, his bottom teeth when the juts them out for his "angry bulldog" face. Scary. If they really wanted to build a border fence, they should use giant replicas of those.

I've never, ever, seen a less appealing idea for the future of the internet.

Exactly why I am eternally glad it was the PCs that took over in the 90s. I can't imagine what a suckfest the internet would be now if Apple had been dominant.

Anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my ass.

F$#@ anyone who thinks a woman should pay for your screwed up morals with her life. F$#$ anyone who thinks THEIR RELIGION overrides a woman's choice. These decisions are not taken lightly and when this happens, its always a tragedy. GET YOUR FRIGGING NOSE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS YOU FRIGGING RELIGIOUS NUTS. Don't like abortions DON'T FRIGGING GET ONE.

Joan PWND him. From this article I was hesitant to watch it because Joan seemed kind of down on her performance, but MAN she nailed that loser.

What a sad little man you are.

What a loser. He's probably never even read Salon, just came here to protest the absolute ownage Joan just served onto his idol. She must have really, really, gotten his goat! Hehe!

Buh-bye.

I thought (hoped) you were leaving. Joan must have really gotten to ya eh? Please don't shoot anyone, OK?

"And, either you can't read or are too stupid (like most liberals) to understand that we who oppose baby murders are non violent."

That is the frigging funniest thing I have read all night. I have a question for you: How do you get internet access from a cave?

Your posts have now descended into the comedic.

And by the way, I'd happily kick your ass too.

And do they teach you how to post messages on this island? Because most sane people only post messages once.

And what happened to the "queers" on your "island"?

"lick"

Freudian slip? You got rusty trombone fantasies too?

Dude. You are so out of your league here.

Gosh. I see Salon is still on the net. What happened to getting it shut down, you pathetic farce of a loser?

Great White Fail pretty much asked me for a rusty trombone last night on these boards. He's obviously a latent homosexual/fecalphiliac, which is why he is so loudly and proudly homophobic and full of shit.

You are highly amusing. A perfect example of your kind, and are doing wonders at making your side look like idiots. Keep it up please.
