Does something like this exist for mac somewhere?

http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/
I've recently gotten a cat that loves my desk and keyboard. I've had to resort to unplugging my keyboard whenever i'm not by it. While it isn't a big deal, i'd prefer it if i didn't have to. Is there something similar for mac?

yeah, i know that's an option too, but the problem is it doesn't work when i'm watching a movie or something full screen or have just stepped away from my computer for a second.

Does Something Like This Exist Already (for Window Managers)

I know that one can use idesk to produce launchers for desktop programs in window managers like Openbox, but what about an actual small file manager, that always sits on the desktop, confined to its own little space. Kind of like conky, if this makes sense.
I don't have a great deal of programming knowledge, just basics, but I've toyed with the idea of making a script to constantly reedit the idesk config file to do this, and while it could work, it's messy at best, and doesn't provide the same desired effect that a small desktop folder sitting on the WM desktop would.
If this does exist, I give my apologies, but I did try to search Google for it, but got junk results. Also, would something like this be feasible? (I am looking for a way to improve my programming skills over the summer, and was thinking that this could possibly be a way to do it.) Even further, would it be acceptable to use Python for it?

Hi!
I don't really get what you mean... the Desktop usually is a file manager, isn't it? I'm not sure if Thunar draws the desktop, but Nautilus can even be pretty bitchy if something else (like conky) wants to have a piece. I didn't care enough about rox and its "everything's a folder"-philosophy to take a really close look at it, but there was an option to have it provide a desktop, too, if I remember right. And rox sounded/looks a lot, as it would provide the most "normal filemanager" behaviour when providing the Desktop (didn't try though - maybe I will).

Did my best to try to elaborate by using an example there on a screenshot of my desktop. (A sloppy edit done in the GIMP)
EDIT: What I would be looking for is something contained to that spot, so that way, if I were to right click inside of the rectangle, such as on a file, I would get options with what to open the file, or something else, even copy, cut, paste, or delete. However, if I were to right click outside of the rectangle, I would get my openbox menu. Hope this helps make more sense.

Anyone know how to create something like this?

I've been asked to make something like
this
except for newsletters instead of business cards. If anyone
has seen any tutorials covering anything like this I would love to
hear about them, or if you have some ideas of how to start.
I tried using image swap for the background and writing over
it using layers but realized I wouldn't know which background they
chose and the text on the layer won't move to accomidate each
template. Is this something that needs to be done in Flash? Any
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Chris

Exist a Jtree node.id or something like this ?

I would want to retrieve a node using a unique 'id', for example the absolute index (into the total nodes count)
Is there something like this ?
Can I add a particular property to a node ? ( for example this 'id' if it does not exist )
Another question :
If I want to implement a search code, this 'id' can be useful, or must I transverse the whole Jtree
Thanks

Hello.
Do the following:
1. Go to the Apple Menu at the top left of the screen
2. Select Software Update...
3. Install any updates that are found.
If the Amazon issue continues after these updates, then do this:
1. Open Safari
2. Erase any web address you have currently showing (for example www.apple.com or www.google.com)
3. Type in www.amazon.com
4. That should take you directly to amazon.com
It should look like this in your Safari::

It sounds like either your hard drive or the SATA cable that connects it to the motherboard are failing. This could be heat related in your case, which is why you see it after it runs awhile. You can take it to the Genius Bar for a free evaluation. If you decide to test it yourself, I usually suggest moving the hard drive to an external enclosure. If it works there for awhile, the cable is probably the issue.

What Perspective Grid settings for something like this?

This has been confounding my for more time than I care to admit. How would I set up a Perspective Grid for something like this? I don't know where to begin. I'm used to drawing simlple buildings from an eye-level view, but obviously with something like this, the viewer is looking way up .

Hello Cheryl,
This is technically a 3P perspective; you mentioned the viewer is looking way up - such a scene is called worm's eye view.
I tried setting up a grid over the image. The point where the two red lines meet is the third Vanishing Point. The two other VPs are to be located by extending the two yellow and the two green lines till they intersect in the direction shown by the two arrows. However this will be at an infinite distance and this way the view can be thought of as 1P perspective as Jet & Michael have opined. Remember that camera lenses can create skewed and distorted perspective. Illustrator's grid cannot match that. Moreover Illustrator's grid is also limited by the application's canvas size i.e., the entire grid has to fit in the canvas. When drawing on a sheet of paper you can actually visualize one or more VP out of your drawing sheet.
Anyway the closest approximation to this kind of perspective can be achieved in Illustrator by placing the image on the top of the canvas such that the 3rd VP lies almost on the top edge of the canvas. The eye-level in case of worm's eye view is zero. So the horizon line coincides with the ground line and both lie virtually on the bottom edge of the canvas. The left & right grid will then let you to draw the walls of the building as above.

set the wake-on lan on the main computer
The laptop's too far away from the router to be connected by ethernet. It's all wifi.
No separate server app on the laptop, it's all samba
The files are on a windows laptop and a hard drive hooked up to the windows laptop. The windows share server is pants, so I'd need some sort of third party server running. Maybe you weren't suggesting to use Samba to connect to the windows share though?
I'm glad that you've all understood my ramblings and taken and interest, thanks The way I see it, I can't be the only netbook user these days looking for this kind of convenience, and I certainly won't be once chrome and moblin hit the market.

Free program like adobe Illustrator for mac.

Is there a free program like adobe Illustrator for mac out there that I can use to open an .ai file and make changes, edit, and print.
Thanks Randall

Check this:

recommends Inkscape, which uses the X11 graphics library (which comes from linux). More about X11 from web site MacStrategy:
Q. Does Yosemite include X11?
A. No. X11 on Yosemite now uses install on demand. When you first launch an app that requires X11 libraries, you are directed to a download location for the most up-to-date version of X11 for Mac e.g. XQuartz

How difficult would it be to create something like this?

I'm looking to create a flash widget similar to what WoW has
on their main page -
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/index.xml
It needs to have images & text that could be called from
a php or text file, so that it can be dynamically changed. Movies
will also be integrated in the rotation as well for the Flash.
How difficult would this be for someone who's new to flash?
How long would it take and what all is needed to learn how to
re-create something like this?

The difficulty and time to do it depends on the learning
capability of the new programmer. Patience and a drive to learn is
what all is needed. Accomplishing one step at a time is probably
the best approach, whether you're new or well-versed.

Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone? I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right? Seriously? How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.

Sony, please tell me how you allow something like this to happen? Horrific Support Experience

So, the below happened. Essentialy, Sony sent me four broken TVs, forced me to spend about 20 hours of time replacing those TVs, and has refused to replace my broken television. The below is a chain with one of your reps. I would never have expected such a poor customer service experience from a company of Sony's caliber. It has been very disappointing. You insist that you are giving me an "offer" but you have given me no options whatsoever.
I note that you continue to maintain that there is no viable replacement. However, a simple search on your webpage and online shows that there are multiple 48 inch LED televisions still available. I find your representation to be disengenuous. The below chain is only one point in the long line of frustrating communications with your representatives. All told me different things and made promises that were not kept. I can only imagine how my case file looks.
I would like an explanation from Sony how you could allow something like this to happen? This has been the most frustrating experience I have ever had with a electronics company -- and I have had alot. It has been terrible.

How you get away with treating your customers like this is beyond me. I am telling you that I purchased the television at a discounted rate that I am no longer able to obtain. In other words, the amount you are refunding me will not make me whole. I am also telling you that your colleague literally offered me a refurbished TV about two hours ago (apparently your group offers less to customers now). You have already sent me three TVs and wasted about 20 hours of my time. Despite all that, you unapologetically state that your "FINAL" offer gets me to nowhere that I need to be. You have no remorse for the situation and have not gone any extra distance to make a customer whole, which is all that I am asking for.
You have beaten me into submission over the past month with broken TVs, hours wasted shipping, long conversations with support representatives, and failed promises. You guys go ahead and do whatever it is you need to do. There is only so much that I can argue about. No customer should expect this type of treatment from a company like Sony. People purchase Sony so that they DONT have to deal with that type of nonsense. This has honestly been the worst customer service interaction I have ever had.

Your file is being already being handled by our department which is the highest level you can get since our managers and supervisors are not part of the escalation path. The $319.99 is the amount that you paid for the TV and that is what we are going to refund you and the $50 is for compensation. You are getting more than what you paid for the TV so Sony believes it will cut it. Our offer is FINAL. Thank you.

Mark,
I just spoke to an individual on the phone who told me that you could send a refurbished model . That conversation is exactly what prompted my email to this email address -- they told me to reach out here because you could provide me a better option rather than the two that were given. Now you are telling me that not only can you not offer me a better option but that you are taking away an option previously given. This is getting more and more ridiculous. I am sorry but this just isnt working for me. I dont understand how there is this much miscommunication between your departments.
I would like to be put in touch with a manager on this case. Your offer to refund me 320 + 50 will not cut it. I am amazed that a company like Sony, which people purchase because of the supposed product support and service, is failing their customer in this way. It's very disappointing.

Thanks, Mark. My preference would then be to try a refurbished model one more time. The issue is that I got the TV at Black Friday discount. I wouldnt be able to replace it even if I wanted to. So, I will try one more time and go from there. Please let me know once the TV is shipped.

If the unit will be replaced it will be the 4th time already and to tell you honestly it will be much cheaper for you to just buyback the unit rather than to pay the shipper deliver the TV every time we replace it and we are not saying that it is your fault just to make it clear. We will buyback the unit for $319.99 and we will add up another $50 as compensation for all the troubles. Please let us know once you have made your decision. Thank you.

I purchased my television thinking that it would come along with the best product and support in the market. That has not been the case. My TV broke down within a year and now you have sent literally four televisions to replace it but none of them have worked.
The latest contact I got was that you have run out of new television for my model and instead need to send me another refurbished one or refund me. I do not want either option.
I want a brand new TV. I dont care if it's the same one or a better one but it has to be new. It cannot be refurbished. I do not want a refund.
At this point, I have spent about 20 hours of my life on the phone with you or shipping back and forth items. I would also like compensation to account for that time.
