"Revenons à nos moutons."
My apologies for the abrupt cessation of daily posts; I decided to take an impromptu vacation from the blog for my final weekend of summer break.
I belatedly learned today that Apple does let the user access the resolution-independent interface scaling built into Tiger, you just have to do it from the Terminal:
defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleDisplayScaleFactor 1.25
Retro watch inspired by Battlestar Galactica
John "dshadow" Bafford was watching an awesome, obsessively hard-sci-fi anime (with a sappy romantic heart) called Crest of the Stars and noticed something unique: air bags in space!
In one scene, the main characters crash the escape module of their shuttle into a planet, and for a fleeting second, when they're picking themselves up after coming to a stop, you can see that airbags had deployed.
This is the first time I've ever seen a shuttlecraft in any sci-fi series come with airbags. Horray for just a dash of realism in crash-landing technology!
