I am trialing Linux Mint 13 Maya. I hope CrossOver will help me run MS Office 2007, TrueCrypt, and The Bat!. Thanks to mahesh2k for the head up and 40hz for the enlightenment.I'd be very interested in your experience with the Bat. That's one of those programs that I'd have to take with me if I ever went to linux. Either that, or I need to find a good linux alternative. I looked a little at linux email clients...meh.-erikts (October 29, 2012, 08:47 PM)
^ I found out that this is what is happening. ABP used to block the https ads, but now it isn't, unless you block the whole domain. I'm not sure of the reasoning behind this, but it was definitely not because of a lack of ability as they were blocked before the latest update.yup. ad muncher also does NOT have formal support for https, but all those ads are still blocked. ABP can do the same also if they wanted to...but seems like they don't want to. Probably getting too big to care about what people actually want; that seems to be the story these days.-wraith808 (October 29, 2012, 04:22 PM)
Good news. Lots of different Xperia models are on offer in the Netherlands (webshops):Interesting. Last week, I also got wind of an article talking about Samsung's new smaller version of the S3, and another article saying how more people want smaller phones. So once again, something I've been ranting about for a while in tech actually starts happening. Nostradamus! There's one I've talked about for over 2 years now and it STILL hasn't happened...the airmouse (for use with HTPC's) with gyro sensor control PLUS a d-pad (like the wiimote, but for a pc). I'm not sure why they keep making remotes with touchpads cursor keys to control the mouse, but whatever. If I had the time and money, I would have made it by now and selling them.

Site is in Dutch, but you can translate those easy. Besides, there are links to the webshops that carry these phones.
And who knows, if they are allowed to be sold in the Netherlands/Europe, then the US should be possible as well.-Shades (October 29, 2012, 11:22 AM)

At least not until the inevitable move by Microsoft to litigate Linux out of existence (at least in the US) begins in earnest. Expect to see this to happen within the next decade.Say what?!! Is there really something like this building up? wtf...this is too much. They need to just let regular folk have our community toys to play with man. One of these guys needs to be the good guy, pretty please!-40hz (October 26, 2012, 09:37 PM)
Hmm...good point. And I'm learning that all that hollywood "magic" today is quite affordable and realistically possible by normal people.I wouldn't want "build my own OS" because then it would be even less compatible with anything!-TaoPhoenix (October 26, 2012, 12:27 AM)
But then again, if you're doing your own thing - and producing your own content (movies, music, books) - what difference would being incompatible be as long as the finished output gets written to an "industry" standard file format like DXF, RTF, PDF, JPG, PNG, MPEG-2, Ogg, or MP3?
You only need to be compatible if you're mostly a content consumer. Content creators (e.g. Hollywood SFX shops and studios) have traditionally used in-house developed and totally proprietary systems for their own projects. Why not us?

^I'm hoping something good comes of HP opening up WebOS, renaming it (Open WebOS), and putting it under an Apache 2.0 license. Based on where WebOS seems to be going, I think it's much closer to the tablet/mobile platform many of us were originally expecting before the 'big players' started acting like idiots about it.that would be cool! that would seem to be headed more in the direction I like, which is towards the build-your-own-tablet way.

That's a pretty accurate description of my perspective.A lot of people more expert than me doubt the wisdom of combining desktop and touch interfaces, but from reading reviews it *sounds* like they've done a reasonably good job.-tomos (October 24, 2012, 03:10 PM)
Perhaps. But I beg you to consider that should you attend a carnival - and find yourself in an audience that's applauding the performance of a "dancing" pig - it's important to remember most people aren't so much applauding the pig because it dances well. They simply bought their ticket, and are now applauding, because they're amazed a pig could do something which roughly resembles a dance at all.

The only A I ever got in humanities was the one for my essay on Telemachus. It's legendary. I have it framed next to my B+ project for women's studies. Also included on the mantle is my proud F I received for my essay on the history of the Los Angeles Lakers, which I took the creative liberty of presenting as a haiku about the recently traded Nick van Exel. The instructors didn't appreciate the cursing.Actually, it's pretty darn accurate for the classical sense.-Renegade (October 24, 2012, 10:13 AM)
Darn well better be. I got straight A's in every humanities course I ever took. And I went to schools that respected and knew how to teach them.

Note: the real benefit of "being cynical" is that it gives you the strength to allow yourself to truly care about certain things. The difference is that everything you allow yourself to care about becomes a conscious choice when you're a cynic. And more importantly - you know it's a conscious and very personal choice.
-40hz (October 24, 2012, 09:44 AM)
That's about as non-cynical a description of a cynic you could have come up with!But that's just my opinion, and as to the OS itself, I reserve judgement until after I've tried it.Same here...I'll be getting the lumia 920 soon, so I'll have more to say later. I have high hopes...but then again, I always do.-wraith808 (October 24, 2012, 09:42 AM)
Can The Bat! help me get my PST illness under control?Yes, the Bat is definitely a good client for optimizing your email data. In fact, I'll go one step further and say it's really the only windows option available if your dedicated to storing your email on your hard drive. That's one of things it's great at: sturdy/reliable email storage, responsive features, multiple account handling. What it sucks at is customer support, and they will absolutely, positively not care at all about any feature you might want added to the program. It's on version 5 right now...I assure you when it reaches version 8 not a damn thing will have been noticeably changed or improved.
mouser, you've been using The Bat! for long enough, would you say that it can help get 2~10 GB of email under control?-Renegade (October 18, 2012, 10:26 AM)
