I HATE APPLE

the latest version of iTunes has a checkbox to turn Ping off in the preferences

or however that sentence is supposed to read

if there's one thing this thread has established it's that we don't like the checkboxes in itunes

yeah, i turned ping off but then it just leaves arrows to the itunes store

you can make those arrows more useful so they take you to the relvant "page" in your own library by either holding alt when you click them or using some command line thing to make the alt behaviour the default

first thing i do on a new install, after i uncheck all the songs

yeah i just did that from your links thanks

the only thing that is really bugging me now is the insanely ugly volume slider

defaults write com.apple.iTunes special-slider-just-for-max -boolean YES

speaking of which i just did a software update and it totally f'd up my dock settings (no reflective tray garbage, hidden apps get greyed out)

put your dock on the side you gigantic ninny

eww why would i do that

well you are a ninny so i guess you wouldn't

my own reason: vertical real estate is more valuable than horizontal

side dock usrs should be automatically added to the terrorist watch list and sex offender registry

well geez i was gonna try it out for a bit but now that i know that i could be a sex terrorist i guess i wont

side dock is basically essential when using Final Cut and if that makes me a sex terrorist well then bring on the molestation jihad I say

if you do put it on the side i like it better "pinned" to the top of the screen, so that it expands down, rather than floating in the middle. to do this, put the following in the terminal -

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string start

if you want to put it back in the middle do:

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string middle

im wondering do you all not hide yr docks, cause i might have to call the fbi

i like to see where i'm dragging

hope they have internet in gitmo bro

of course it's hidden

otherwise I would be a genocider on top of my aforementioned crimes

top right side is where it belongs (via steve jobs ca. 1995), fuiud

cant do top right, got all my desktop files over there

they move when you put the dock there

it KNOWS

so they do

prefer left so far

also: do you run tex from inside vim? or do you switch to texshop?

i run texshop from inside vim, see your favorite little computer program hoonja-doonja (mac version)

aha, thx

you know about configure for external editor, right?

Open a .tex file in your favourite editor. Open TeXShop and choose Open for Preview from the file menu. Choose the same .tex file you opened in your editor. TeXShop will compile the file and open the PDF if it doesn’t already exist. You can then Cmd-Tab between the editor and TeXShop, making changes in your editor then using the Cmd-T shortcut in TeXShop to typeset the file.
If you would like to make this behaviour the default in TeXShop then tick the “Configure for External Editor” option in its Preferences.

no!

haven't used texshop in a minute, and was never a power user. might be co-writing a paper soon, though, and figured i should get up to speed

ok, configure for external is the important bit. that vim trick is just a quick way to bring up texshop from vim.

p.s. congrats on paper!

oh i like this v much

xp thx! still in preliminary stages, but if it goes my way i'll get to write up a procedural paper on a surgery i got into a few weeks ago. nothing hueg, but the only publications i've gotten have been fucking MINI catalogs and BMW internal newsletters, you know?

if you do put it on the side i like it better "pinned" to the top of the screen

I'm a bottom.

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string end

Need dock visible for all the notification marks. Major flaw

growl?

Hate Growl. Apple goes to extraordinary lengths to make the OS intuitive and useable and Growl goes and turns the whole thing into Windows XP.

Hate Growl x2.

It beats bouncing dock icons, imo

I hide my dock most of the time. I use MoofMenu to put a pulldown menu of my most used apps so I can open apps from the menu bar like the good old days.

And I use Mailplane for my gmail, which puts a pulldown menu in the menu bar with an icon that changes color and ads a badge for emails.

I also use iTunes menu so whatever is playing at the time appears in the menu bar.

I only occasionally need to drag a file onto an application folder in the dock.

hate growl x3, but iscrobbler (and some other apps?) insist on it

yah tinygrab uses it and tinygrab is my new fav so

dan i like your style

I still don't under stand why Mac never thought it was a good idea to have a task bar so that you can switch between windows of open programs without havin g to close every window on top or go hunting for the window you want. Also isn't it funny to think as has been pointed out, if you actually filled an ipod classic with music you legally bought , how much you would have spent? HAHa. Also, fuck this shit about being able to read but not write to NTFS!

lol ntfs

ice cram, how do i shot tinygrab

u can find it here http://tinygrab.com

seems real cool, don't wanna buy it
