OH YES!!! +1
Also applies to volumes. Often I can't eject a flash drive or even a firewire drive because it says the drive is still in use. Sometimes even when the Finder is the only app open.
Please everyone send feedback to Apple re: this. |

Something like visual network map feature-I find Vista's one to be useful
A Crossover Games type feature to play DirectX games.

Left or right?
I would like there to be an Australian English dictionary instead of the American one installed. |

You'll be lucky if Palm is even in business when 10.6 is released.

Where did you get those scrollbars? A little while back I did something similar but they weren't quite right and it bugged me. Yours appear fine though.

lsof | grep example.mpg

ZFS is mature and stable enough for production use right now. Sun are recommending it for most of their enterprise rollouts at the moment. Indeed, I know a few folks using it in rather high-end production database systems with great success.

It's got nothing to do with Microsoft:
NTFS-3G: Stable Read/Write NTFS Driver
NTFS-3G - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ntfs-3g is compatible with Linux, MacOSX and *BSD, and is a stable read/write driver for NTFS file systems. It's free software, and released under the GPL.
Ubuntu ship it as the default NTFS driver, and it allows users to share data with Windows users (either on plug-in external drives, or on a dual-boot system) without needing to resort to using a shared FAT partition.
ntfs-3g has a MacOSX download on it's website. It would be trivial for Apple to include it as default with their next OS release.
Microsoft have no say in the matter if a third party want to write a from-scratch driver to read their file system. The free software community is more than capable of supporting itself.

In a terminal:
lsof | grep "filename_in_use.extension" | awk {'print $2'} | while read PID ; do kill -9 $PID ; done
What it does:
lsof: List all open files
grep: show only the lines matching the search term (the file in use)
awk: show only the column requested (the second column in the example above, which will be the process ID)
while read: read the Process ID
kill -9 $PID: forcefully kill the Process in question
Some command-line-fu will get you a long way in this world. Hone your skills here:
[shell-fu:home]$

Ok, here's one that I'd like in OS 11: Have no function that is doable in the terminal that can't also be done in the GUI. And vice versa.
It can't be that much to ask... can it

Well I'll upload the files I used (well, I'm pretty sure they're the ones I used) and you can download and see if they are (and I added my own instructions for anyone who wants to test before they reboot and find that someone in this procedure borked your system).
The files are accessible here.
