On the above mentioned examples, for the one with the matrices, you would want to enter it in a more readable fashion, say something like this: $$ \\eta \\Omega = \\begin{pmatrix} \t1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\\\ \t0 & -1 & 0 & 0 \\…

For me, it is just so much faster, when I want to make a mu to type \\mu rather than have to cursor around some panel of sybols. For me it is as much an issue of time savings as anything else. Leaving the office around 6 pm, knowing that my collea…

I too run all the time with my 1st gen iPod. I've never had any problems... several hundred runs logged now. I just hold it in my hand. I run 25 to 40 minutes at a time. I guess the massive bulk of the original iPods is why my upper torso look…

This is all just an elaborate propaganda campaign to cover over the fact that they have screwed Mac users twice in the past six months. Q1: Why did the upgrade price jump 100 dollars? A1: To cover the cost of the bundled windows-only app DFX+.…

Yeah, now we're talking. Me has pointed to the right pages. I like the instructions provided on the TexShop page: http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html first download the ii2 installer from here: http://www.rna.nl/ii.html g…

To my ears, this sounds like: I want to edit movies but I don't want to learn iMovie or FCP-- why are there no other options? TeXShop (or other) and teTeX absolutely rock on OS X. So there's just not much interest in a paying app that will cut …

I'd say Cinema4d if you can afford it. The main reason is that it is a very intuitive app, so you can spend more time on the principles of modeling, animation, etc., rather than the details of how to make a particular application work. At the same…

Joe Bob may not have a huge supply of monitors, but he probably has one. The whole switcher thing is an admission that most everybody has a computer now, and with it a monitor. Headless single processor G5 with upgradeable graphics is the key. …

I just got an iMac at work. It is a wonderful machine to work with, and I am amazed by how people just get mesmerized by it. But. It really seems to me that if the current iMac strategy was going to work it would have done so by now. Every d…

Curvus Pro It is still in alpha, but I have found it to be the best out there right now.

My understanding is that the Firefly rendering engine was licensed from Pixels3d. I know that Leonis knows of them. Others may as well. That explains both the subpixel displacement and why it renders slow.

The backlit keyboard works well for the main keys, but the smaller keys, like the function keys are kind of hard to see. I do not find the computer to be too big or heavy, but then I got pretty bulked up carrying a Wallstreet for four years. Th…

I started out using GoLive and then gradually got to the point where I write everything by hand. Now that I have converted over to using CSS layout instead of tables, that has gotten a lot easier. I would dispute the statement that hand coding let…

Is scheduled wake-from-sleep in 10.3? Has there been any effort made to make the graphite theme more universal? Ever since Apple started to make all their own custom widgets, they seem to be relegating graphite to second class.

Thanks durandal. That would definitely be the right way to do it, but it looks a little too involved for me. I used costique's suggestion. Only annoying thing is that I couldn't figure out how to change existing accounts from IMAP to POP and …

I think Apple needs to be especially careful now. The Justice Dept should have stepped in and broken MS up by now, but they didn't. Unless W. Clark throws his hat into the ring, GW will be president for another term, which means no antitrust actio…

I think it looks all right. My personal opinion is that the old towers had been getting crappier with each revision ever since the original G4 tower, so I'm glad that they've broken away from that. I was hoping for a sleek, minimalist tower, a…

I finally saw the movie tonight. Even though I was warned I was a little disappointed by all the vapid dialogue. I almost fell asleep a couple times. I thought the action was fantastic though. Occam's razor says that we are dealing with matr…

His only real complaint is that for the sound quality, the price should be cheaper. I don't see what the uproar is all about. The one thing though, is that most CD's cost more than the 11.99 he mentioned. Attacking the way the guy looks in the pi…

Thanks Torifile, Really though, I'll probably do the test myself as soon as I get some free time. No point in asking you to do something I could just as easily do myself.
