I agree, it's very annoying, and seems to be one of the Finder's long-standing bugs. I use column view exclusively and still get annoyed when new windows open in another view, such as when viewing an app's package contents.
You might want to try opening a new Finder window and setting it how you like, then closing it and opening another. This has sometimes worked for me in the past.
One way I found to not so much get around the problem but get new windows opening how I like is by using scripts. Here's one I amended from an article originally on MacOSXHints.com way back in 2001. It opens two finder windows, one above thew other in column view, and is designed for a 1024 x 768 resolution screen. It's pretty easy to follow so you should be able to tinker with it to get it exactly how you want it (and remember to change the 'set target...' lines to reflect your user account and what you want the Finder to display).
tell application "Finder"
activate
close every window
-- Bottom Window
set this_window to make new Finder window
-- display external firwire hard disk if mounted
if disk "X Files" exists then
set target of this_window to "X Files:Archive"
else
set target of this_window to "HD:Applications"
end if
set bounds of this_window to {86, 364, 818, 762}
set current view of this_window to column view
-- Top Window
set this_window to make new Finder window
set target of this_window to "HD:Users:db"
set bounds of this_window to {86, 97, 818, 279}
set current view of this_window to column view
end tell

Thanks for all the advice. I'll be sad to lose my White spectra wraps, but got another two sets (silver and clear) still to use, although still hoping the next iPhone will be released near to my return date (end of June).
I'm trying to pick up a cheap-ish used defender from eBay, as I won't use it other than the two weeks I'm away.
Thanks again.

What are the chances of the latter? In a similar thread was made. One of the replies was something to the effect of, "Fat chance... wait until 2011!".

Travelling all the time across Europe,using different carriers (Vodafone,Orange,Movistar,Beeline,Mtel etc.) and never ever have I had a dropped call,so the "antenna issue" is not a concern at all over here...

Sounds to me like the hard drive is dead. Try booting from the instal disc and use Disk Utility to check the status of the internal hard drive. Also what discs exactly are you using to try and reinstall? Are you using the discs that came with that G5 (probably 10.3 or 10.4), discs that shipped with a new Mac or a bought copy of OS X 10.x?

hi.
I'm starting to programming for iphone, I want to learn how to make 2d games and other applications for iPhone.
I bought three very good books, but I want to learn and know very much about IOS 2d games and other applications have the following books:
programming in Objective C 2.0
iphone programming guide the big nerd ranch
Beginning iPhone games development
but I wish I had more books that teach me things that they have not, I want to know all the steps to programming well for IOS cunhe�er well since the program (Xcode for example) and where to start up a large application.
Tell me yous opinions
P.S:I've seen the links to start the program but want more opinions and more books to learn

Since it is the Draft-N spec then I would assume it would.

Actually, if all you did is format the drive (and you didn't install), it may very well be possible to get all of your data back. You'll need another OS to boot from, but if you manually recreate the partition table, it's likely that the windows format did not quite reach where the HFS+ directory structure is stored and only overwrote the partition table itself and parts of the EFI partition.
Once you're booted from a good OS, you can rewrite the partition table from Terminal. This will have the benefit that your existing volume won't need to be reformatted. You may need a utility like Disk Warrior to clean up the directory structure afterward.
First, you'll need to figure out the disk number of the hard drive. If you're booted from the machine (rather than a different machine, using the drive as an external), it's going to be /dev/disk0. The following will rewrite the partition table to near-default (possibly a little bigger primary volume):
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/disk0 bs=512 count=10 conv=sync,noerror
sudo gpt destroy /dev/disk0
sudo gpt create /dev/disk0
sudo gpt add -i1 -b40 -s409600 -tC12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B /dev/disk0
sudo gpt add -i2 -b409640 -t48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC /dev/disk0
Then use Disk Utility (or preferably Disk Warrior) to repair the directory structure.
If you don't want to do all that or can't, you can use Disk Utility to format the drive from the Mac OS X Install disk. I've seen situations where that still wouldn't work, so you may have to do the first two commands anyway.

Another stunning set of results, only thing that anyone might nitpick is iPad sales but considering some were holding on for the iPad 2 and that product was DEFINITELY supply-limited it's still a superb performance and more than doubles their PC sales. Decimates the rest of the tablet space that's for sure and the q3 performance is going to be VERY interesting.

I don't think that will work. The MacPro uses ECC (error checking) ram. What you're looking at is Non-ECC . Here is a link to Crucial's 2010 Quad Mac Pro page. I've used them quite a few times and have never had any issues.
The link is to the U.S. Site but you can click over to the EU or British site in the upper right corner.
I hope you find this more helpful than the last post

Reach and New Vegas will probably tide me over until well into next spring. Those 2 games will be a great 1-2 combo for me. Tons of action and multiplayer with Reach, and when I need a break from that, a good slow paced RPG with NV.
I was seriously disappointed with the Reach beta at the time. There were lots of things in it that I didn't like or agree with in how it played. But in their subsequent BWU's and podcasts, Bungie have announced that many of the things that many people had issue with were in fact wrong/broken, and have been fixed for GM. So, that is great. Add to that all of the news that has come out recently, and in the coming weeks, and this game is shaping up to be right in my wheel-house.
Same goes for New Vegas. I played the absolute crap out of FO3, so when I heard that NV was going to be mostly the same game, just with new character and story, I was super hyped. I played Oblivion a bit, but never got into it, but for some reason FO3 just connected with me. So hearing that NV would be sticking with the same engine and general gameplay mechanics is great. Hopefully NV has a ton of DLC to go with it, like FO3 did.

Are most of the people who are trying to use this app on Long Island?
If this is the case would the following work?
Have someone who has version 1.0 log into itunes on another persons iPad and buy the current version of the app (Free obviously) again. Then put a copy of the 1.0 app in that persons iTunes account to replace the 1.0.1 version. I know it is somewhat possible to share apps this way between family members but not sure it will work this way.
