I've always been a Mac user, way back in the days of the Mac Classic. I remember getting excited when we upgraded to System 8. I just upgraded to Leopard and Final Cut Studio 2 last week, and I'd say that if you're not itching to jump on the Time Machine/Spaces bandwagon, hold off until 10.5.1. I've...

Something that I've figured out after trying a few joysticks for 6DOF is that it's not just about how many buttons. Ten buttons can't make up for a properly made joystick/hat/axis, and Descent needs about three or four of those, *and then* some buttons. One really good stick I use is the Gravis Xter...

It depends on what I'm writing. If it's an E-mail, IM, stuff like that, I use double spaces. If it's an advertisement or tagline, I use single spaces. Not because it uses up less characters, but because it's a little easier to skim through quickly and keep flow. At least that's what I've always found.
