10.5: Partially tame Time Machine's warping background

I don't agree. These hints show that Apple's offerings can't be all things to all people, and we are just some of the users. I don't know of anyone who has turned off all those things, rather it's a way to remove inconveniences or improve how things operate.

The GUI gives an "it just works" layer, while there's another hugely powerful system just underneath. MacOSXHints just lifts up the corner of the GUI, so we can see and appreciate the rich Unix-y goodness underneath.

I find it amazing that so much of my Mac still works from the command line, giving me power I never had with OS 9.
