You will get no argument from me.

It is just like Tom's posting about manipulating the stock market.

There was no manipulation intended.

Apple stated how they accounted for the sales (270,000) and ATT 
stated how they accounted for the sales (146,000).  Apple counted all 
it had shipped, and ATT counted all it had sold, not including any on 
order or in transit (I leave that for a discussion on accounting 
rules and how they are used.), plus there is the fudge factor of 
those who bought phones but did not activate as they were trying to 
reap a profit in the after market.

[CGUYS] Firefox f-up

2007-07-26 Thread Harvey Simon

Partial progress: I used the command line Tom provided, below.  A firefox
options box opened and I selected -- I forgot to write this down but I think
it was Restore Toolbars, or something along those lines.

If I then chose the option to continue in safe mode, Firefox opened and both
of my problems were solved (no bookmarks in the sidebar and empty space at
the bottom of the window).

If I chose the option to make changes and restart (same changes), only one
of the two problems was solved (bookmarks).

I closed Terminal (which closed Firefox) and restarted the browser the
normal way.  Now I have my sidebar bookmarks back.  But I still have that
blank space at the bottom of the browser window.  (I also still have the
Google Toolbar I installed.)

I'm halfway there.  Any help on fixing the remaining problem (bottom white
space) would be appreciated very much.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: Firefox f-up

Being a Terminal virgin, I'm probably making an obvious mistake.

There is no room for virgins in Unixland.


Firefox.exe -safe-mode
Terminal responded:
-bash: firefox.exe: command not found

It is traditional in Unixland to provide only the barest hint of the
correct syntax. I think most Unixheads would be mightily offended if the
proffered solution did not require at least some reinterpretation work
correctly. So at the risk of being mightily offensive, here is the full
command for OS X. Note that this assumes that you have not renamed your
copy of Firefox. Of course, most Unixheads would rename Firefox to at
least include the version number so that they could keep mutiple copies
around.

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -safe-mode


Now we have to discuss why you are running the bash shell when everyone
knows that bash is not the best shell.

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

When an LCD is not at its native screen resolution it is not sharp. 
They are tuned for a specific resolution.


CRT's are unbelievably sharp!

LCD's are sharp I have an LCD TV.

But do not forget CRT's are not just TV's they are much sharper and 
have a better resolution than TV's.

Re: [CGUYS] Google Bookmarks

2007-07-26 Thread Jordman

I did install the Firefox Google Bookmarks add-on and used the Import 
Firefox Bookmarks option and saw a variety of strange behaviors from 
Firefox afterward. It was unresponsive to clicking on other tabs and 
then refused to shut down. After a couple force quits, it seems to have 
settled down. I suppose I could remove it now that I have moved my 
bookmarks, but I'll wait 'til it screws up some more.

This is on an iMac in case it matters.
In the interest of simplicity and reliability, unless I'm specifically 
experimenting with something, I generally keep add-ons to a minimum and 
I don't use Google toolbar.


Harvey Simon wrote:

Stay away from Gmarks.  I had trouble with it.  For one thing, Firefox
insisted on staying front and center on my screen when I selected another
active program.  I uninstalled Gmarks and that problem went away.

In the Google toolbar there's a drop down menu under Bookmarks that says
Import Firefox Bookmarks.

I wish I'd seen that before I installed Gmarks, which I think could also be
to blame for the problems I detailed in the Firefox f-up thread.

That OS would be OS X.

Remote Desktop is no reason for going to the the dark side.  Microsoft
Office for the Mac comes with Remote Desktop Client, or it is a *free*
download from http://www.microsoft.com/mac/.  I used it only once
with no problems that I can remember, so I am not fully qualified
to endorse it, but it is certainly worth a try as it is much less  
trouble

than installing an entire second OS.  Here's the product description
from MS:

Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac allows you to connect to a  
Windows-based computer and work with programs and files on that  
computer from your Macintosh computer. To connect to a Windows- 
based computer, you need network access and permissions to connect  
to the computer, and the computer must be running Terminal Services  
or Remote Desktop Services.

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer

While a few select people may have some overwhelming need for some
version of 'color accuracy' (whatever THAT is), most of us put that
lofty concept way down on our list. A good *looking* picture is much
more important. As well as weight and footprint.

Sure, take your advice from someone who says 'color accuracy' (whatever 
THAT is). 

This from luminous-landscape.com...

This is the area in which the Artisan really struts its stuff -- black 
differentiation. You can see extremely fine difference in black level 
that are simply not visible on an LCD. I didn't believe it myself until I 
saw a demonstration. Even the best LCDs like the Apple Cinemadisplay 
can't compare when it comes to differentiating fine shades of black and 
gray.

A Small Experiment

Here's a small experiment that you can do to see how well your current 
monitor can display fine gradations of gray and black. In Photoshop 
create a file that fills most of the screen (Ctrl/CMD-N). Make the whole 
field black by using the paint bucket tool (G). Now use the rectangular 
marquee tool to create a selection that fills about 50% of the frame, in 
the center.

Call up the Curves tool (CTRL/CMD-M) and click on the control point on 
the bottom left of the line, at position 0-0.

Dim the lights in the room and make sure that there are no reflections on 
the screen, and that the light is as low as you would normally work in. 
Now, using the Up-Arrow key on your keyboard move the control point so 
that it moves upwards, increasing the output level.

Look for the following.

  -- Can you monitor clearly display each separate level starting at 
level 1?

  -- If not starting at 1, at what level can you start to see a 
difference between the area within the selection and the rest of the 
picture area?

  -- Is each level distinct, or can you only see every second or third 
level at the lower range of brightness?

A very high quality calibrated monitor such as the Sony Artisan can pass 
this test easily, with every single brightness level clearly discernable. 
Don't be suprised if your monitor doesn't. Few can.

  The viewing angle issue is going to have to be solved before LCD 
monitors can seriously compete with CRTs for accurate color, and 
brightness and contrast values.  Two people simultaneously viewing a 
CRT monitor will pretty much see the same thing.  Not so on an LCD.  
Get your image to look perfect on a CRT, and it will look the same 
every time.  On an LCD, it will change if you move your head a couple 
of inches.

  I think that what you are seeing are long term Windows users buying 
Macs so that they can still run their familiar WIndows applications, 
yet also have access to the Macintosh environment.  Why else would they 
part with the perceived additional cost of a Mac unless they are being 
enticed by the Mac OS and what it has to offer?  My personal experience 
with a few die-hard Windows users is that they are seriously 
considering a Mac as their next computer purchase, and for exactly the 
above reason.


  I see no evidence whatsoever that Apple is phasing itself out of the 
OS business.


  Does Apple not have the market share enjoyed by Windows machines 
because the computers they make are not only horribly ugly, but are 
just plain lousy to begin with, or is it because their operating 
systems over the years have traditionally been unstable and therefore 
almost useless?  Or, is it because Apple did not focus almost 
exclusively on the button-down business office user and environment 
from the outset, and instead appealed to the more artistically inclined 
user?  Or, is there some other reason that you can think of?


  As a Mac fanboy, I personally do not care one whit what Apple's 
market share is.  Their market share played no role whatsoever in my 
decision to use Macs, it plays no role in my continuing enjoyment of 
the Mac, and it plays no role at all in my willingness to suggest Macs 
to anyone looking for a pleasant computing experience.


  In fact, I would guess that the big boys at Apple Corp. are not 
particularly agonizing over the fact that Windows machines outsell 
Macintosh machines.  I think that Apple would have to resort to 
licensing others to build computers for them in order to really try to 
compete with the market penetration that Windows has.  Apple already 
did that, and decided to stop the practice.  I think that Apple is 
pretty happy these days.

Re: [CGUYS] Apple Posts Record Quarterly Profit

I think what he was getting at is that they make more money and 
profitability on their hardware then they do on their software.


Micro$oft makes more money on software than they do on hardware (Does 
anyone need to mention Xbox?)


Also Dell is fast becoming an Insurance Giant.  A few years ago it 
was revealed that Dell made more money on selling service agreements 
than it did on hardware.  (Note Dell does not manufacture software 
but is a reseller of software)  Those neat gold service plans that 
are sold with Dell are a real money maker for them.  (I recently had 
to clean up after a Dell tech who replaced a MB and HD and did not 
reinstall any of the drivers! It was a Gold Level tech visit)


So what he said was not inaccurate but it also was not a complete picture.

Just like the number discrepancy between ATT and Apple on how many 
Iphones were sold the first week.

Re: [CGUYS] iPhone cracked

 Proving? Not until it has been demonstrated. All they have done is
 claim. There are enough Apple-haters out there that I reserve
 judgement on any such claims until demonstrated. The whole Brian
 Krebs/David Maynor/WiFi fiasco did that to me.

Actually the person discovering this vulnerability is an iPhone fan. One 
reporter asked him if he was going to stop using his iPhone due to the 
problem. He replied that the only way to get his iPhone away from him is 
to pry it out of his cold dead hands.

Anyone who has used the iPhone, loves the iPhone. Except for the 
knee-jerk Apple haters, of course.

Interesting to note that Apple shares dropped 7% on Tuesday on a bogus

Re: [CGUYS] LCD screen for photographer


CRT's are still readily available.

Look at NewEgg, Tiger Direct and a few others.  The big difference is 
that their prices are way down.


I prefer a CRT because I can adjust the screen resolution to what I 
want, not what is native to the LCD screen.


I presently have a 19 for what a 14 cost 10 years ago.

- including graphics-oriented - and you'll find CRTs rare. On the rare
occasions I want someone else to look at my monitor, I move a bit; no
big deal. Certainly not worth hassling with a CRT. And I don't know
where you get your CRTs, but after dealing with them for 50 years now
I can agree with the NTSC moniker - Never Twice the Same Color.

While a few select people may have some overwhelming need for some
version of 'color accuracy' (whatever THAT is), most of us put that
lofty concept way down on our list. A good *looking* picture is much
more important. As well as weight and footprint.

 Get your image to look perfect on a CRT, and it will look the same
 every time.  On an LCD, it will change if you move your head a couple
 of inches.

Re: [CGUYS] Parallel-Windows Which OS Question

Office for the Mac comes with Remote Desktop Client

Works perfectly fine. I use it fairly frequently.

Re: [CGUYS] Firefox f-up

Being a Terminal virgin, I'm probably making an obvious mistake.

There is no room for virgins in Unixland.


Firefox.exe -safe-mode
Terminal responded:
-bash: firefox.exe: command not found

It is traditional in Unixland to provide only the barest hint of the 
correct syntax. I think most Unixheads would be mightily offended if the 
proffered solution did not require at least some reinterpretation work 
correctly. So at the risk of being mightily offensive, here is the full 
command for OS X. Note that this assumes that you have not renamed your 
copy of Firefox. Of course, most Unixheads would rename Firefox to at 
least include the version number so that they could keep mutiple copies 
around.

/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -safe-mode


Now we have to discuss why you are running the bash shell when everyone 
knows that bash is not the best shell.
