The one thing that bugs me about the iMac design is.....

The one thing that bugs me about the imac is..... the sleep mode led.
Was it beyond the ken of the designers to make it apple shaped?
Now - call me recklessy stupid, but.....
Having seen how easily the front cover can be detatched, how much of a dolt would i be to try and fit a foil blank apple, or apple shaped hole blank inside the casing to rectify this inconsequential but nagging annoyance?
You see, recently making the leap from pc land, I am left with hours of empty time on my hands.
Time that would usually be profitably taken up by debugging, reinstalling, restarting, recovering, rebooting and waiting for all of the above, and generally working around the 'beige box of nightmares'.
Or should I just stop proctastinating and finish off the latest chapter of my upcoming video project, to be previewed 4 weeks tonight?

Whip out your hacksaw and have at it, realizing you are voiding any warranty that you had.
Good luck.

  • One thing that confuses me about contribute is the license

    One thing that confuses me about contribute is the license. I
    have a client who I am doing a website for and I want to recommend
    contribute. However I don't want them to have to buy 2 copies of
    the program because they are a man and wife who will both be
    editing the website. Is it ok for both of them to use it if it is
    installed on a PC and a laptop?

    The EULA suggests that it's OK to have it installed on two
    computers (office, home/laptop) for one user. How your client
    solves this is their case of course, but I think they will be
    creative enough to make it work without buying two licences

  • Things that bug me about Java: MalformedURLException

    Anyone else think it's funny that when I call
    File f = ...
    URL url = f.toURL()
    I've got to catch a MalformedURLException? When could this exception EVER happen? Can anyone answer that?
    Why is MalformedURLException not a RuntimeException? Of all the exceptions out in java land, this is one that has almost never come up for me, and in any case should be totally preventable by the programmer just as NullPointer or ArrayOutOfBounds exceptions are

    I was under the impression that a File was not directly linked to a physical file. In effect you can create a File instance with almost any gibberish. That gibberish could possibly be invalid when converted to a URL or may not be parasble into a url. (relative file paths may be a source of this (Im not sure though). I belive you can also create an "empty" path
    File f = new File("");There may be senible ways of handling conversion of this to a URL but I don't think it does.
    Even if toURL does succed it does not necessarily produce a valid URL (It does not escape special characters)

    The program is for replacement since Apple does not repair iDevices...you take your non-working or damaged iPhone to an Apple store genius bar, or send to Apple service, and they provide a refurbished unit as a replacement, for a fee, of course.  You will have to talk with Apple to see if you get all components or just the iPhone replaced.
    With AppleCare+ you can have two out-of-warranty replacements for a cost of $49 each.

  • Rant over the one thing I dont like about SAP

    ...there is no "RUN NOW" button for jobs...
    annoys me since I started working with SAP in 3.0F
    finally erupted
    </Rant over>
    Have a nice day.
    Andi

    Hi,
    >Rant over the one thing I dont like about SAP  
    If you have only one single thing  you don't like about SAP products then you are very lucky.
    There are plenty of things that I hate in SAP products, specially with the weird "ergonomy" of a lot of transactions or bugs I know since R/3 release 2.2 and still there in ECC 6.0...
    Number one on my "hate list"is presently J2EE logs analysis...
    Fortunately, there are also a lot of things that I love in SAP products.
    Otherwise, I would not be still working in this area since 11 years.
    I am always amazed that the architecture of the abap stack is so old (1992 !) and still up to date and so reliable (especially compared to Java...)

  • It's the little things that bug me...

    This is really a bit of a rant; though if someone can help to fix any of my problems that'd be great.
    1. The way that all available midi notes in the entire song seem to appear on the Midi editor window (forget what it's called in Logic) if you double click on it (this must just be me, right??)
    2. The way the scrolling works - if I have a loop of say four bars, Logic doesn't seem to be clever enough to realise it'd be nice if it didn't move the entire arrange page back and forward - that is; a loop which is small enough to fit on the screen doesn't automatically do that. And the follow song button seems to do nothing at times
    3. The limiters - they don't work! I suffer awful PDC with the adaptive limiter on individual tracks, and neither of the limiters do what they're supposed to - ie. limit the signal!
    4. When I solo one track, I always seem to get at least one other track through!
    5. The CST reset toggle... it doesn't happen much, but when you do accidentally catch it you know about it... "undo", please!
    So, I'm hoping these are easily fixed (well, probably not the limiter bit...) let me know your thoughts...
    And this rant/mild whistleblowing isn't in place of a "feedback form" - I hope we can fix at least one of the problems!
    Thanks,
    Mickey.

    1. The way that all available midi notes in the
    entire song seem to appear on the Midi editor window
    (forget what it's called in Logic) if you double
    click on it (this must just be me, right??)
    If you mean the Matrix Editor, you're describing what dbl-clilcking in a blank area of that editor is supposed to do. But probably like you, it's rare that I ever want to see that display. From time to time I'll accidentally call up this display when I think I'm dbl-clicking on a note (to see it in an Event Editor window) but I accidentally click on a blank space in the Matrix Editor instead.
    I think this function, so rarely needed, should be modified so that it's invoked by having to hold down a modifier key+dbl click instead. But if you see the all-notes display and you didn't mean to see it, it's pilot error.
    2. The way the scrolling works - if I have a loop of
    say four bars, Logic doesn't seem to be clever enough
    to realise it'd be nice if it didn't move the entire
    arrange page back and forward - that is; a loop which
    is small enough to fit on the screen doesn't
    automatically do that. And the follow song button
    seems to do nothing at times
    True 'nuf. I'd recommend having the Catch function on a key command (mine's "A") and be able to turn it on and off as you see fit. Turning Catch off will solve this problem, but I agree that the problem you described is annoying.
    3. The limiters - they don't work! I suffer awful PDC
    with the adaptive limiter on individual tracks, and
    neither of the limiters do what they're supposed to -
    ie. limit the signal!
    What's PDC?
    4. When I solo one track, I always seem to get at
    least one other track through!
    I run into this too. Logic is buggy when it comes to certain Soloing operations. My advice would be to set up a key command for "deselect all tracks" or "deselect all objects" (it's one of those two). Hit this before you solo anything.
    5. The CST reset toggle... it doesn't happen much,
    but when you do accidentally catch it you know about
    it... "undo", please!
    CST?
    And this rant/mild whistleblowing isn't in place of a
    "feedback form" - I hope we can fix at least one of
    the problems!
    Since Apple is so secretive and un-communicative as a software manufacturer, and doesn't bother to acknowledge known and unknown issues with Logic, IMO the best thing you could do is post your problems here (as well as the feedback thing). This way other users will either be able to help you out, or, from your experience they'll learn something more about their system.
    Anyway, that's my lil' rant on top of your rant.

  • HT1349 The iPhone 4S setting (white on black) it is so cool! But one thing that I don't know if Apple is aware of this glitch or not, but they need to fix it, when you go to that mode every picture and every icon go to negative view, has anyone experience

    One very COOL feature on iPhone 4S that I just discovered, is the (White on Black) display mode, which is so cool and atrictive. When you go to that mode, every picture on the iPhone, facebook, icons and every other applications that displays a picture are effected, native or installed Apps. that displays a picture goes in to negative view, if you want to view your pictures, you have to go back to the default setting, very disappointing.
    This is a very cool feature and Apple needs to find a way that all photos are immune and preserved from the conversion when a user switches to that mode.
    Love to hear your comments and suggestions and I'm sure that Apple developers can come up with a solution to fix the glitch.

  • Two things that bug me with my T400

    I got a T400 and I have it how i like it except for two things:
    1.) The harddrive light flicks about every second or shorter.  What is accessing my hard drive all the time?  (I installed a SSD but I think it did the same thing before I installed it)
    2.) The lenovo service take FOREVER to startup.  I try to bring up the internet (Fn+F5) or the ThinkVantage button and it thinks a for little and then NOTHING COMES UP.  I have to wait about 10 minutes after startup and then click I can click the button and the service will start
    I've updated both my Lenovo service and Windows.  What can I do to fix this?

  • Things that should be in the next update... please don't wait for 2.0

    I've been using adobe products a long time and I have to say that I am a little disappointed there has not been more thought put into things that should just work in a v1 product.
    Here is the list:
    Ingest window should be able to be able to take up the full screen.  At a minimum, it should remember the last size. My paths get somewhat long and this is very frustrating to continually have to resize the window or panes every time I ingest.
    Ingest should put the files in the bin selected when I hit ingest.  It always puts them at the root.  To make matters worse, keyboard shortcuts that are used to select files in almost any program like SHIFT+HOME do not work.  I have to click, scroll to the bottom and shift click the last file to select a range.  Then drag all the clips to the target bin.  Borrow the code from Premiere
    Keyboard shortcuts for clip navigation.  Logging clips with keyboard shortcuts is a godsend and this is one thing that I love about Prelude.  Anyone who has to do a lot of logging will tell you these keyboard shortcuts are imperative to a smooth workflow.  This is especially true if you have to log hundreds of clips like I do.  Next clip, previous clip when editing from the navigation tree or in a roughcut would be extremely helpful.  If I am in a roughcut, I can easily get into a clip, but not back out to the roughcut where I was.  The only way I have found is to click on the roughcut name in the timeline window.
    Re-linking moved media - FAIL.  Since this product is supposed to let different people log media, it seems crazy that the program can not re-link it.  Very few people in this world store there files in the same absolute path.
    Lack of updates.  Makes me wonder if Adobe is committed to this product.  Having a really long time between iterations is hard on your users.  At this point I have no clue if any of these features will ever be added.
    I have spent a lot of time in this program and it is on the verge of being great.  I personally think that before you start adding new features, you should fix some of the things that make it hard to use.

    Thank you for your post and your passion for Prelude. Input from customers like you is how we can improve out product.
    I do have a few comments and questions for you about your experience. Also, many of the items you have listed are already part of Prelude.
    Replies to your list:
    1.  The Ingest Dialog can be sized to fill your entire screen. Simply drag-drop the edges to resize. This size is also remembered on subsequent launches. This has been in the product for quite some time – what version of Prelude are you running? Currently we have made the following releases: Prelude 1.0, 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03. Our v2.0 has been announced and revealed at NAB last week and is coming out soon with many more enhancements and improvements. Rest assured that Adobe is committed to this product – as you will see with this new release.
    2.  Ingesting into the selected BIN is part of our upcoming release that was revealed at NAB. I'm currently on a Mac so cannot test the SHIFT+HOME shortcut, but Prelude does support CTRL/SHIFT selection options to make selection easier. I'll look into the HOME and END options as well. If they are missing we certainly want them added.
    3.  Glad you find the keyboard driven workflow beneficial. We had a lot of customer feedback early in our 1.0 days that this was a must. Adding support for clip selection in the Project Panel to open and log clips is something in our backlog we would also like to deliver because as you say it is very useful and saves time. We are also reviewing our Clip/Roughcut UI and workflow. Don't have anything to report yet other than this is an area we are focusing on.
    4.  Relinking is possible in Prelude 1.03. We've added additional relinking support in our 2.0 that provides relinking in rough cuts as well. If you are not yet on 1.03 please use the free update and let us know how it works for you.
    5.  As mentioned above, we have 3 updates posted last year for our 1.0. And 2.0 is coming out soon.
    Please continue to share with us your thoughts and ideas for improving Prelude. We have an aggressive feature TODO list but are always looking for more direct input to help us properly prioritize what's part of our next delivery.
    Thanks!
    Michael

  • Just moved from microsoft word, struggling with one thing . . the view

    I've just recently started using pages rather then microsoft word.
    It seems great, but there is one thing that I'm struggling with, the page view
    No Matter what I do I can't seem to show the pages left border (from the perspective of looking at the computer screen)
    In word you can see the entire page, then there is space where it finished and around the sides.
    I can't seem to get the view to show the space around the top of the first page and the left border of all the pages.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    What about the view - one up option? I see it in the help but I don't see it in my document. When I click on View, I don't see one up as an option.
    Anyone know if there's a way to see one page above/below the other, rather than spread out side by side?
    It's not in the View menu. One-up & two-up is in the percentage box at the bottom left of the document.

  • Snapping: Things that go snap, things that don't.

    I've been using Logic for a while now and the one thing that still drives me nuts is the terrible time I have moving things around. Specifically, when I move regions around, trim them, or adjust the loop, I can hardly ever get them to move where and how I want them to. I think I understand the snapping drop down menu. I think I understand the meaning of snap to absolute value, but my wrist, hand, and fingers would say otherwise. I must have something set incorrectly in Logic, as when I do the same basic stuff in Ableton, it is fast, accurate and simple. When I come back to Logic, i feel as if I am adjusting the depth of a miniature nail with a 40pound hammer.
    Specifically, I'm posting this now, because here I am, trying to take simple midi loop that is 4 bars long and stretch it out, looping it 4 times. Whoops, I went a little bit past the 4th time, into the fifth. No worries, I'll just drag it back a bit. But I can't seem to get it do drag back to the end point of the 4th loop. I can get it close, but it won't snap back JUST so. Even if it LOOKS like it might end right at the end of the 4th loop, if I zoom way in, there always seems to be a little bit extra.
    I fully realize that this MUST be some sort of setting issue. Or that there must be a better way of doing this, because nobody would keep using Logic if they had to do what I'm doing. Thus my new affinity for Ableton. But ya know, I'd like to do it in Logic if I can.
    Would anybody share with me how you have your snapping set? When/if you change it around? How you feel about moving things around in Logic?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Your grid resolution setting may be your problem. It's found on the transport. I can't recall which one I use most but I change it according to the type and depth of editing being done.

  • Want a macbook pro but one thing is holding me back.

    Okay I have been holding off on buying the mbp for like a year now, and have been waiting for an update before i buy, i am using it for school and work.
    however, the one thing that was holding me back is that I play WoW and Im hearing people on the wow forums talk about how slow wow plays on the mbp.
    I just want to be able to be in populated areas like shatt and get a fps of around 50-60. I mean my brother has a 2 year old dell xps 1710 and he never drops below 60fps, ever.
    I don't understand how apples most powerful laptop cant handle a simple game "graphic wise". I mean what does the 1710 have over the macbook pro, i can't find anything.
    I know im sounding like im mad, but I really want to be able to have a mac, but i also want a computer that plays wow on highest settings. I would be getting a 17inch the version with the 256mb card and higher res.
    If somebody has this version and runs wow please tell me what fps your getting in pop areas.
    also if i use bootcamp then maybe that would help as this game runs better in windows right now, "used to be the opposite". So could someone explain how to setup bootcamp. The last mac i had was a g4 ibook.

    Im running Leopard.
    Sometimes when I am doing 25 man raids, Ill use Boot Camp to load XP. When I do that, I usually see about 15-25+ better framerates. The video drivers for the graphics card under OS X arent quite as finely tuned as those under Windows XP.
    Its a totally capable laptop for playing WoW. I mean, you could probably get better performance from a more expensive high-end 'Gaming' laptop...but seriously, I dont regret it at all...and I play WoW a LOT.

  • What's the one thing you hate about Gnu/Linux?

    Hello everyone, this is my first post.
    What's the one thing you hate about Gnu/Linux or any other FOSS OS?
    I would say Xorg. Mainly because it asynchronous and that cause windows tears.
    Try resizing a window. See how it kind of jumps. It bugs me
    I only wish something would replace Xorg soon.

    Agreed.
    People (and especially companies) actually prefer to pay for operating systems; it transfers responsibility and reprehensibility onto an external entity when something goes wrong.

    - if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
    2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
    you can try

    The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
    connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)
