What's the name of the bar at the bottom of IE (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp1.020828-1920) where it'll show the URL of the link you're hovering over, and the type of site you're on? Something I did on this training machine means that it's defaulting to not being there. One of the web apps will spawn a window with it on, so I'm using it to generate my windows, but I'd rather know what it is, and where the setting in Internet or Folder Options to put it back.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. I don't see the relevant setting in either Folder or Internet Options.

On my IE, you just open the browser, go to View and check Status Bar.

DORK!
I'm talking to myself, by the way.
I have no idea how that got unchecked.

I'm convinced that, every once in a while, your browser just likes to uncheck stuff to fuck with you. Like "Block Pop Up Windows."

Sigh. When and if I am able to get a different Powerbook from Fredlet, I suppose I'll have to grin and bear the 15".

So is Mac OS X for x86 going to be able to run on non-Apples? I assume that's not going to be the case since then you could pick up a powerful $700 PC notebook and spend an extra $150 bucks on OS X and undercut the lowest priced Mac notebooks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Word is, it'll only be sold on/for Apple hardware. Although given how instantly the dev version of OSX86 became widely torrentable, I don't imagine that's really gonna work for them.

Hey. New board.
Well, there are some possible things they could do to make it much more difficult to put on non-Apple hardware than the development release. The most common idea being that Apple x86 hardware, unlike the test hardware they sent out with the dev version, will be using a variant of the OpenFirmware used on Macs, rather than standard PC BIOS. Not an easy thing to get on hardware that doesn't come with it (or maybe impossible?).
Of course, the big thing is: they won't let anybody presell it, and they won't support OS X on hardware other than their own, and of course Dell/Compaq/whatever won't support OS X on their hardware either. So, sure, you might could undercut Apple if you felt like having no support whatsoever. Meaning a few thousand geeks will do it, Apple will get their $150 (or won't if it's torrented, but they won't care), and it will never matter at all in the big picture.
