Я написал небольшой скрипт для файрфоксовского плагина GreaseMonkey, заменяющий основной шрифт сайта на Helvetica Neue. Это имеет смысл в тех случаях, когда дизайнер сайта использовал шрифт, отсутствующий на вашей Mac OS X, а предлагаемая им же замена выглядит намного хуже оригинала.

One my friend who runs Windows XP encountered a strange problem: she couldn’t upload any large (more than ≈100 KB) files using upload forms on websites under any browser.

Once I noticed that it has been taking up to 5–7 minutes for my MacBook Pro 2,2 to boot (the longest phase of the startup process was the blue screen which usually appears right before the desktop) and additionally, sleep (hibernate) mode stopped working.

If your BBEdit preview shows raw PHP code, go to “Preferences” and configure a “HTML web-site” with “Use local preview server” ticked.
tell application "CharacterPalette" to activate
There is an issue though: the new character palette doesn’t get “bound” to any of the applications, therefore double-clicking a symbol doesn’t paste it automatically to the text field. You’d have to drag-and-drop.
I’m posting this because most results from Google were telling me to launch a “.component”, and that “.component” doesn’t exist on my Snow Leopard system.

To select the newly created option:
newoption.setProperty('selected', 'selected');
