Well Google did bring up something regarding touchpad mouses:That is very cool. It doesn't mention anything about multi-touch, which is the real key feature of the apple touchpads. That makes all the difference in the world.

The problem is it simply does not seem to find me the files I'm looking for. Ever. Granted you can choose not to use it, as before, but here's where it gets weird: the results I get when not using indexing are still not as comprehensive as those I was able to find using the old Windows Explorer. I have no idea why this is, I only know that it is so.I liked that. This is a phrase that more developers should hear about their software. I find myself thinking this way about a lot of things when it comes to software. I have nothing really to say here, I just thought that resonated with me. People like to talk about the features, the programming details, all the geeky stuff, but that phrase is often what drives my actions in things related to software.-from JavaJones' blog
"Initializing" means writing a partition table, and is usually followed by formatting. If you do this, you'll fsck up the mac filesystem (HPFS+, I think?), so definitely don't do thisdarn. i'll have to use something like macdrive. thanks.-f0dder (October 07, 2009, 02:30 PM)
The first thing that comes to mind is an idea for one of those alternate reality DC/Marvel comic graphic novels, where superheros are motivated to do what they do not because of morality but because they are trying to one-up each other in their youtube channels, showing slow motion close ups of each rescue or battle.haha. yeah. Slow motion makes everything better. Reminds of that Dave Chappelle skit where he satirizes gangsta rap videos by showing how everything looks cooler in slow motion. So is there a battle? Is someone going to battle me with their own slow-mo basketball highlight?-mouser (October 07, 2009, 12:35 PM)
Really? I don't know where else they would come from.All the addresses listed are SMTP, no MAPI/X400 or LDAP addresses listed ... hence no Exchange serverTry creating an email to the person (you don't need to send it) and then in the To line right click and look at the properties. It should have the email addess listed but you can never tell with Outhouse.Yeah, but are you using the global address list from Exchange? That is where the root of all evil is.
Update: I am using Outlook 2007 and the email addresses are clearly shown on the Contact forms and are selectable.-Carol Haynes (October 06, 2009, 01:41 PM)-superboyac (October 06, 2009, 03:34 PM)-Stoic Joker (October 06, 2009, 04:49 PM)
Well, yeah. But I equate the two.Yeah, but are you using the global address list from Exchange? That is where the root of all evil is.-superboyac (October 06, 2009, 03:34 PM)
No - so the problem isn't actually in Outlook. It is in Exchange ??-Carol Haynes (October 06, 2009, 03:55 PM)
You forgot to blur the caption bar in your screen shots.Crap! Thanks. He might kill me! (fixed).-Stoic Joker (October 06, 2009, 02:02 PM)

Not sure if all you need is just a list of email addresses, and I don't use Outlook, but...I guess so, but that's a lot of work for just copying a few addresses. I mean, sometimes i just want one address, but it's nowhere to be found even in the stupid addressbook. Here, let me show you how stupid this ass-turd of a program is:
could you export the address book to some kind of text file, maybe delimited so you could just load it in a spreadsheet and copy the relevant column?-AndyM (October 06, 2009, 12:24 PM)
Yes...I say it although I know better, but because of all those Mac commercials it's what people know and understand because that's a distinction in definitions that Apple itself came up with...which is fine with me. Modern Macs these days seem more and more like computing appliances than personal computers. I can imagine a day when there'll be a sticker on the bottom of all Macs that states "No user-serviceable parts inside".I like that..."computing appliances"! I hear you. But you also know that the consumers LOVE how the Macs come in one piece. Whenever my friends get a new Mac, they are always so proud about how there are no wires and how everything is tucked away behind the monitor. Now, sure, it's not practical for me because I don't get to fiddle with the parts, but these people will never want to do that. Jobs is a brilliant marketer. He knows what people want. Sony should really try to learn from him.-Innuendo (October 05, 2009, 10:27 AM)
Btw, why is it that people say "mac vs PC"? Macs are personal computers, and have been so since day 1.I know you're kidding, but people say it 9even if they know better, like me) just because it's a phrase that will be generally understood. Just like the words "kleenex" or "xerox".-f0dder (October 05, 2009, 02:00 AM)
All right, you two...I'll work on writing something up. It'll be a while, though as I stopped after two sentences thinking to myself, "This is going to be way too long!".You know, I wrote something about this exact thing some time ago. I just don't remember where it is. I've always been curious about how people organize their classical music with both folder/file names, and id3 tags. I've come across a couple of good methods on the web, but nothing that I've wanted to commit to.
And maybe, just maybe...by the time I've written it all up my journey will be over because as I write this I'm still searching for some answers to a couple questions. It's going to be more OpEd rather than HowTo, but I'm going to be covering my decision process step by step so people will at least get some information to make their own decisions.-Innuendo (October 05, 2009, 10:06 AM)
Also like you I have decided I needed to get more organized with my mp3s and such as well. It's been a long journey & I thought about starting a thread documenting my adventures, but it's turning out to be way too long to effectively post in a forum and expect people to read it.I would read it. i find stuff like that very interesting. But then again...I am a supergeek.-Innuendo (October 04, 2009, 11:31 AM)
Very true. But when all your peers and instructors use Macs; and all the handouts and examples you are given show a Mac interface; and your formal and ad hoc support networks all think in terms of Macintosh - why fight it? You'll be done in 4 or so years - after which you can switch to anything you want.This is more on the point of what I'm trying to discuss here. This is what I'm seeing more and more lately, and I'm assuming (and I may be wrong) that it will eventually have an effect in the computing universe. Will there be a time when the workplaces start shifting to Macs? Or away from PC's? That's what I'm talking about.-40hz (October 04, 2009, 04:15 PM)
The thing that's always killed me about the ODF quest is that while "they" are trying to find a common method of rendering formatted/rich text on any platform ... (which is a great idea...) ... nobody has even managed to even pull that off with a plain ASKII text document. Basically because there appears to be about 5 different methods of defining a line break.Yeah, and these bloat and speed issues is my main frustration with just about every mainstream program/OS that i run into. When you step back and consider the power that we have available now in our computer (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.) it's very surprising that programs are not zip-zip fast. I'm not saying anything is slow on my new computer, they are not slow. But it definitely could be faster.
I do agree with Adobe's .PDF as the best yet attempt at a cross platform document (considering it really does actually just work), but damn that thing is turning into a cagey pita with all the other (Swiss-Army-Knife style) crap they keep trying to squeeze into it.-Stoic Joker (October 03, 2009, 02:37 PM)
There's another thing...what if I don't want to do research? What will I pick then? That's what a lot of people are doing.Just do your research, but don't buy a Mac because of what Mac users tell you. It's been my experience they never talk about a bug or problem with Macs or OSX until after it's been fixed. It happened with the move to the Intel platform. It happened when the Macs finally got pre-emptive multi-tasking. And it's happened countless other times.-Innuendo (October 01, 2009, 10:20 AM)
That it's something I completely agree with. Wise words, indeed.-Lashiec (October 01, 2009, 10:29 AM)
