Why does that make you a horrible human being?  Different views (that don't affect anyone outside of your not doing the same as they do) makes you a horrible human being?

Point taken.  But that's your opinion.  Saying that you don't have a high opinion of what a person believes, has done, and has left behind is one thing.  To say that someone his a horrible human being because of those things, especially when (1) you don't know what he/she has done behind the scenes, but only second hand accounts, and (2) it's just because they didn't do something when you judge that they could have is my problem with the whole 'horrible human being' bit.  It's a bit beyond the pale, IMO.

Oh, I'll try to best that, then:

The funny thing about these statements/sentiments is the fact that he's beyond what any of our statements about him are, which means that they say nothing about him or his state, and a lot about us... hmmm?

If the storage was what you needed, do you think that you'd consider it?  I'm just trying to find out other than the price and space considerations, is there a reason that people wouldn't consider these types of drives that I don't know.

Steve Jobs showed little inclination to use his personal wealth for philanthropic purposes.

And, strangely for a self-professed Buddhist, he did not embrace environmental concerns

Anybody got any thoughts on the non byod more commercial NAS products?  

Specifically:
http://www.tigerdire...ls.asp?EdpNo=7152581 or
http://www.tigerdire...ls.asp?EdpNo=5664929 or
http://www.tigerdire...ls.asp?EdpNo=5394505 or
http://www.tigerdire...ls.asp?EdpNo=5077998

Don't really care as long as it supports NFS... just tired of the DYI route right now and want a solution that comes with drives as long as it's not *too* much of a premium.

But isn't that true of all clipboard enhancers?  Which begs the question, what are the special requirements of a code snippet program over and above regular clipboard enhancers?

-rjbull (October 04, 2011, 02:38 PM)

For me, it's integration with the IDE past simple C&P, i.e. variable substitution, the ability to categorize, and the ability to highlight.

-wraith808 (October 04, 2011, 03:39 PM)

Should have known I'd get a coder answer that I wouldn't understand    Is the variable substitution like that in mouser's FLM, only able to pick variables up from the editor in the IDE?

-rjbull (October 04, 2011, 04:21 PM)

I don't know.  I've never used FLM.  Let's call them fields.  The template is put in, and fields within the template can be navigated and changed.

I use a combination of snip-it pro (mentioned above) and coderush.  I didn't mention code rush before, because its quite expensive, and there were already complaints of the price of snip-it pro ()  But adding either CodeRush or ReSharper increases productivity so much once you get used to using it and get it set up, that IMO it's well worth the price...

Each evernote note has its own unique url in addition to the tag url.  I'm still not sure if thats the missing piece you were looking for, but there you go.

In Evernote Any time you want to access the info you would have to go into the program environment and taggify.

« Last post by wraith808 on October 04, 2011, 12:25 PM »

However, what about alternatives like Evernote or Onenote or some Web Archiving systems ?  Do you know of any way to accomplish the same end ?  Here is the key:

Start with : email with RTF and inline .jpgs, composed with your home email editor.
Send the email: to some place.
And have the url reasonably easily accessible for that very same email, and have it show up as sent.

Any help accomplishing this, or coming up with an alternative method of accomplishing he same general :
(Does not have to be email.)

COMPOSE -- SEND -- LINK with KEYWORDS ... the goal... using any tools.

-Steven Avery (October 03, 2011, 04:20 PM)

I haven't actually tried to send rtf with embedded jpg to evernote, so that's the one bit that you'll have to research yourself, but evernote does give a unique e-mail address to send notes to in order to get them to show up on evernote, and you can set tags in that e-mail.  For more info on this feature, see https://support.ever...r.asp?questionID=547

As far as the link to a note, if the notebook is private, the links would have to be shared individually, i.e. you have to manually share it to get that link to work.  If the notebook is public, I don't think you have that step.  If it's just for you, then even the regular link will work- you just have to be signed in first.

I use snip-it pro, and have really been satisfied with it.  One of the biggest selling points to me is the integration with snipplr, but it's good enough on its own.

Take a look at this post on gdgt- it has some interesting inside info on the tablet, that definitely points to it not being any kind of slayer, and more pointed towards the NookColor (and it's basically a playbook... and we know how *that's* working out).

As far as the ear touch thing, her proximity sensor must be on the blink- I can't get that close without the screen kocking for input during a call.

And yes, you need to register with iTunes. That's a known quantity. But these reports of android interface differences are off putting as well. Each is a tool, and you use the one that appeals more to your sensitivities, and works best for what you do. The existence of one doesn't obsolete the usefulness of the other.
