Applescript

An earlier statement indicated that switching to the login screen with applescript was not possible. Are you aware of a way to do this? ...

i think applescipt may be a better option have the computer login automatically as BOSS then a startup applescript that launches itunes and then logs out (fast user swtiching) hopefully then the computer will be at the login screen, with itunes running in the background under user account boss

well, ok - but can you write an applescript* that will cd to another users directory, give you sudo priviledges, find interesting files, and then allow you to read these files?

A lot of what will be introduced in Tiger has not been announced yet. Among the rumoured but unconfirmed changes are significant changes to themes/appearance. The official run down is here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/ Features Spotlight: A new search technology that searches metadata for instant search on files, email, bookmarks, websites, contacts, photos,...

Spotlight will change how we use our computers (and finally give us something to replace the god-awful Find tool in Panther), and will replace (at least for me) LaunchBar/Quicksilver/Butler assuming it can find applications I've just installed, too. CoreImage and CoreVideo are being integrated. These, from what I understand, are a layer on top of Quartz that developers can...

Now here's an odd one (to resurrect this thread). For the past few weeks, Safari and Mozilla under 10.3.5 have been acting rather strangely in a manner not unlike that which Knil described.
