I got a new macbook (alu) and since I once happened to overwrite a file because the default file system for OS X is case-insensitive, I thought I would be smart in reformatting the hard-disk before installing anything and changing the partition to case-sensitive (use DiskUtility to do so just after booting from the Leopard cd). Unfortunately, it proved to be a bad choice since many applications are not written for a case-sensitive filesystem (see Adobe Photoshop Elements, f.i.). That pissed me off!

ReplyDeletePhew! Finally I can rest in peace! Most annoying moon message application!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteCome on Skype! Seriously! We're all not in the mood for your MOOD MESSAGE.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me? Unchecking the preferences->advanced->
ReplyDeleteenable mood message dosen't change anything. I still get a
red point notification at the top right corner of the window,
So I still never know before opening it if somebody tried to
contact me or if it's a mood message.
Is there a way to really disable this feature? I mean, not
erasing the message once it came to my computer, but simply
preventing it to be received by my computer.
Thanks! You have no idea how annoying those mood messages were to me. [Reading your post again] Ok, I guess you have some idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you, this feature was absolutely annoying!
ReplyDeleteWOOOHOOO!!!! Nice! Thanks!
