  • How to instantly change text between upper, lower, and title case on a Mac

    afstein said:
    Nice tip. 
    I was very confused at the beginning because I was wondering about the reference to the “toolbar” since it’s different in every app. 
    Then I realized you mean the menubar. Edit menu is found there. Might need to correct the article.
    Good catch. Yes, the Toolbar is at the top of each window while the Menubar is at the top of the screen





    Hopefully a correct will be forthcoming as the typo in the article is misleading and confusing read as is.

    They thought the clone vendors would attempt to expand into new markets but instead they 
    simply sought to cannibalize the company with inferior offerings.
    The clones weren't inferior. I bought several PowerComputing units for my then employer and they worked great. They were faster at a lower price than Apple's Macs.
    PowerComputing had the best clones - I had one. Fast, cheap, and no problems.
    Most of the other clones did not rate as well. Among them, Motorola was pretty crappy because, well, Motorola.

  • One of Dell's new Thunderbolt monitors is aimed right at Apple's Studio Display

    I've had a "4.5k" LG 40WP95C-W 40" for about a year now and am very happy with it despite telling myself I'd never stoop to a sub-5k monitor after getting my 27" iMac Retina. However, after the iMac died, there was no decent AND affordable replacement for it. The Pro Display wasn't an option for me, but for the same price as a 5k Studio display, I could get 40 inches of 4.5k. A decent compromise given what's available on the market right now.

    The killer was able to transport the legally purchased gun from Hawaii to New York (where it was illegal), with the help of a law change that the NRA championed in the 60s. Today, mass shootings in schools and other public spaces are direct results of their lobbying in the decades since. The Senate found that the NRA acted as a 'foreign asset' to Russia before the 2016 election. The NRA is an anti-American terrorist group.
    For the gun enthusiasts thinking about replying with some version of “It’s not the guns. If Chapman didn’t have a gun, he could’ve murdered Lennon with a knife or a car or a big stick,” just remember you’re also making a great argument for getting rid of guns altogether. If it really isn’t the guns, then everyone can fulfill their Second Amendment rights for hunting or self-defense or guarding against gubmint tyranny with a knife or a car or a big stick. There can be no infringement if it’s solely the user’s intent that defines any object equivalently as a weapon. 

    Heck, we could also save billions from the Pentagon budget by getting rid of expensive guns and bullets and issuing a tactical spork to each service member. 

    If you find that to be ridiculous, you’ll have to find some other reasoning that takes into account the fact that guns are among the most effective and efficient tools for killing people, and should thus be regulated with that fact always in mind. 
    Or, as the great Jim Jeffries put it: "the only way to defeat a bad guy with a chainsaw is to have a good guy with a chainsaw"

    Until you can guarantee that every bad guy with a gun has that gun taken away, then you'll never convince me that law abiding citizens should not be able to defend themselves in an equal or superior manner.  

    I agree 1000%!!!1! Which is why I have thousands of rounds of ammo for each of my 17 rifles, 10 hand guns, 8 shotguns, 5 fully automatic machine guns, 3 mortars, and 2 grenade launchers - just as the founding fathers envisioned a well regulated Militia. 

    Now I am NOT paranoid (although I know that everyone says this about me when my back is turned), I’m just working to make sure that I’m protected from some random bad guy who has it out for me. I’m almost there. Just a couple of bazookas and some land mines and THEN I’ll feel safe. Mostly. Maybe. It’s a scary world out there. 


    I’m


    so


    frightened.
