What utilities will Tiger kill?

Safari does not work with my online print services' press submission utility.
Only IE will function. (I think it's a netscape issue, so I doubt that Safari 2.0 will address the issue)

Safari is not Netscape. Mozilla, Firefox and Netscape are all built on the same core rendering engine (just different releases of the engine). Safari is not.snickelfritz said:
If only IE will function, you can continue to keep using the old verison you have. Or maybe it's time to prompt your service provider to fix their rotten website.

The only issue is that .zip files aren't always small enough. .sitx files have been able to, for me, cut a file down to half its size. Useful for large files (1.5 GB).
I'd like to see Aladdin work on making the compression go faster, but for a 1.5 GB file, anything is faster than sending it raw!

Linkety to the website. Look at Video #1.

Mechcozmo, I had no clue that .sitx files could compress so much! What kind of things were you compressing that made up those large files?
And the linkety, well, that was, interesting...

I need Clear Dock & KeyXing
I have been using these two apps since they came out. I cannot think of using my Macs without them. I really hope that Tiger will support them. I know KeyXing has probably not been updated in a while, and may no longer be developed, but I am way too used to having a clear dock. I also love applying apps to my F Keys.
Even so, I can't wait for Tiger.

Internet Explorer
And as for Internet Exploder, haven't you heard? It's already dead on the Mac - no more developement. All Apple is doing is giving it the burial that is due for it.[/QUOTE]
I for one have problems connecting to some financial institutions with Safari, and in those cases, I am forced to use IE... any suggestions?

You will still be able to download IE from microsoft.com and install it on Tiger, it's just that it won't come preinstalled. So you should be fine.

"All your base are belong to use" was a Starcraft cheat, and if I remember correctly the cheat made you win instantly and make you move onto the next lvl.
So I am going to go out on al limb, and say that "all your search are belong to use" means that Tiger will own the search function.
Ill let these pictures speak for themselves.

Nah, "All your base are belong to us" and "They set us up the bomb!" are horrible Japanese-to-English translations in a really old Sega Genesis game called Zero Wing.

How about AIM?? Haven't noticed an update for ages. Maybe iChat will finally axe that one too.
Kinda off topic but quick question: Anyone know ifl iChat have an option to put your buddy list in Dashboard?? Seems like a good place for it to me.

Get a better bank? My bank specifically lists Safari as one of the supported browsers.rvmartinez said:
Try one of Mozilla/Firefox/Camino and see if any of them can work when Safari doesn't. Seeing as IE on the Mac is so outdated anyway, the bank will probably break compatability with it at somepoint.
Between Mozilla & Safari I do not believe I have found a website that doesn't work with one of them. Then again, I may just not visit broken websites.
I, for one, hope that cleardock and sidetrack still work. I can't stand going on other people's computers who don't have sidetrack. Is it possible that Tiger will give all laptops the trackpad functionality (two finger scrolling) that the newer Powerbooks have?
Yes, of course...weg said:
And, someone mentioned that from Tiger all meta data will be no longer be ignored and discarded when using tar, mv, cp, etc.
The earlier trackpads are different of course and not all of them have the ability to scroll using the trackpad. I've been using the iScroll2 on my PowerBook without issues. The iScroll2 website has a page on how to tell if your iBook/PowerBook can do two finger scrolling.Kingsnapped said:
I don't know if Apple themselves will implement a driver similar to iScroll2 or not. I just hope that it (iScroll2) gets updated for Tiger asap.

I would think .zip. It is pretty much a standard on Windows and 10.3 has a built in app to zip and unzip files.
jholzner said:
Actually Zip on Mac OS X 10.3's Archive function is GnuZip instead of the Winzip/PkZip found on PCs. Not that there aren't freeware that support both standards on both platforms, but it is interesting they use different versions of Zip for both.
Actually it's a GnuZip derivative that adds a special __MACOSX folder to zip files to deal with resource forks. The standard GnuZip doesn't do this because resource forks are Mac-specific.gopher said:
I think I'll need to find a new program for unarchiving .RAR files, which I get all the time. I currently use Stuffit Expander for doing this.
I've got a program which will no longer be needed with Tiger - WeatherDock (the Dashboard widget takes care of this, and it's nicer than WeatherDock). I'm also going to give TI Connect and PlayerPRO the axe when I install Tiger.

Ahhhh...*senses a pattern* I see. I may start using the RAR format just because it's so much fun to say! *rawr* But then again, tarball is fun to say too.
Gnu people are so silly! Out of curiousity, do the latest builds of Windows have zip built in (either via command line or clicking), or is WinZip still required?
Windows XP (Home and Pro) has a built-in zip compression and decompression utility.mkrishnan said:Ahhhh...*senses a pattern* I see. I may start using the RAR format just because it's so much fun to say! *rawr* But then again, tarball is fun to say too.
