10.4: Show MacOSXHints on RSS screen saver
Authored by: eno on May 13, '05 09:48:45AM
you completely missed the point of this hint.

what if you dont want to use safari? what if you dont want to have to go into safari and add a feed to make it work with the screensaver?

what if you wanted to make a screen saver that went to only one place and rename it something else so that it will only display news for one thing?

be creative.

First prize for King Doofus goes to rgould.

Question: What if you don't want to use Safari?

My answer: Its installed by default with Tiger. Shouldn't be too much trouble to fire it up just once to add a bookmark.

Question: What if you dont want to have to go into Safari and add a feed to make it work with the screensaver?

rgould's answer: Instead of going to all that hassle take the easy road and hack a system plist file (but don't forget to convert it to and from binary plist format so that you can edit it in your 'favoriate' text editor).

rgould's answer to any other comment: Be creative/you're not creative/I am creative.

No doubt Rob will delete this comment because he likes things to be nice and clean on his site, but this rgould character is a clown and I think it needs to be pointed out. As written, this hint is completely inappropriate for most users and it doesn't even make use to either the Apple-sanctioned way of doing this, or any of the "creative" cases which rgould suggests justify the hint.
