  • Quote: Originally posted by staphbaby Yup, and it is good. Camino has a very slightly more "Mac" feel, however. It will always win for me, not least of all because it has a keyboard shortcut for moving between tabs. Firefox may well have one, …
    in Camino 0.8 is out Comment by fiddler June 2004
  • Quote: Quitting an application by closing its window is only useful for non-document-based, modal applications. For example, iTunes and iPhoto qualify... I find the fact that iTunes stays running in the background to be immensely useful.

  • I second gapless playback. Gaps are especially annoying for people with largely classical music collections (like me). Foobar2000 and Winamp (I think) on Windows have the ability to read CUE sheets, where you rip an entire CD into a single track a…
    in iTunes 5 ideas Comment by fiddler April 2004
  • Quote: Originally posted by PBG3 I have a good idea. You should be able to import your whole CD as one track then have it separated into many different "start/stop" sections. For instance, when you hit Get Info on a track you can tell it a tim…
    in Missing iTunes 4.5 feature Comment by fiddler April 2004
  • I find the first method stupider..likeafox linked to to be the best method overall (the auto-margins). The negative left margin trick (the second link) works well to a point, but when the window is resized too small content gets pushed off the side…
    in Stupid CSS Positioning Question Comment by fiddler April 2004
  • Quote: What's the point of the "Convert Selection to Apple Lossless" menu command. Surely converting existing AAC & MP3 files to Apple Lossless is a waste of time, as once the information is gone, it's GONE! Am I missing something here? Y…
    in New iTMS features ***CONFIRMED*** Comment by fiddler April 2004
  • I got this on on my G3 900 iBook, just a few days ago... Same symptoms, same situation. Left my iBook on for maybe 2 days, it was getting unusually hot underneath... then every time the hard drive accessed data, disturbing clicking noises! I jus…

  • Thanks! I was getting really annoyed at Safari's slowness lately, this seemed to do the trick! All my favicons are gone though. Let's hope this bug is fixed in the next update..
    in Speed Up Safari!! Comment by fiddler March 2004
  • Huh, this always happened to me too. Yes, it's probably cmd-K. Damn sloppy fingers..
    in Safari issues? Pop-ups getting through Comment by fiddler March 2004
  • Thanks for the suggestions. I can however tell the difference between 192kbit AAC (or MP3 for that matter) file and uncompressed CD audio... I agree that for most people it doesn't matter, but when you pour $1000+ on a headphone rig these differenc…
    in Quiet external hard drive for audio Comment by fiddler March 2004
  • I second SubEthaEdit, great if you know how to write HTML. It's basically TextEdit with colour-coding of tags, etc, which is all I need. It's bloat-free, and best of all, free!
    in Good *free* Web Publishing software? Comment by fiddler March 2004
  • http://discussions.info.apple.com/[email protected]/20 That Apple Discussions page seems to hold the solution to my problem; I uninstalled dev tools last month. I'll see how this goes. It seems the uninstall script f*x up important parts of the …

    in Software Update not working, please help! Comment by fiddler January 2004
  • Sounds like it's related to this backlight problem, which is caused by a weak cable carrying power to the backlight. Apple is aware of this problem (they've fixed it by reinforcing the cable in later iBook versions), so hopefully they'll be able to…
    in ibook screen gets VERY dark Comment by fiddler December 2003
  • Having perfect pitch, I believe the startup chord is either D-flat major or G-flat major... I can't quite remember, and I'm not going to restart my Mac just to find out. :P EDIT: fine, so I did reboot just to find out. It's sort of G-flat, but a…

    in Powerbook Sleeps when switching users Comment by fiddler December 2003
  • Quote: This way the computer gets locked without losing any work, and it's still available to other users, unlike the screensaver. Don't quite follow ya. The screensaver "enter password" dialog has a "Switch User" button.

  • Quote: Originally posted by mountainyeti42 V6 uses a stereo miniplug (1/8 in) but it is not gold-plated. The 1/8->1/4 adapter it comes with is gold-plated. The 7506 come with a gold-plated miniplug. No, neither the V6's plug nor adapter is…

  • Actually! You CAN change the mappings in Word. I just did it because this had annoyed me for a while (and this coming from a recent switcher!), but it's a real pain in the ass to do so... Go to Tools menu --> Customize Click "Keyboard..."…
