Another thing you can do from the terminal to sync your time the first time in case you have to much deviation from realtime is the following. Enter terminal Sudo ntpdate time-a.nist.gov You may replace the server with one of your choice, I use NIST but you may use any time source that meets yo

That’s interesting.  We here in America are more in support of leaving than remaining.  I think it’s our rebellious history and our natural distrust of government at work.  I personally am pulling for leaving because I think your great country stands apart from many of your European counterparts

Kawal, you are letting the propaganda get to you. We in the US have a much more optimistic view of what will happen to you.  Our financial channels have been wall to wall covering your exit.  The doom and gloom being stated by the elitists before is being replaced with things like great buyi

Actually, someone on another list made an excellent point to bring this back somewhat more on topic. Look at what the EU was doing to Apple and Google.  Look at the goofie regulations that were being forced on companies and people external to the region.  Google was under attack in the EU.

Hi Simon, Sorry, I can't seem to find anything regarding that. I tried looking in Terminal and also checked to see if Startup Disk is Apple Scriptable. There are some System Pref panes that are, but, just our luck, Startup Disk isn't one of them. I'll try some other resources, but it's not l
