Thanks to Macworld for this trick, Next time you want to lookup a word with the built-in dictionary on the Mac; you don't need to open the application; Just go into the spotlight search field. The word you type in will show up in the list
Another nice trick, type in a math expression. I may not need the command-line tool bc so much now!
The start up LS9 is a bio fuel company that makes a substance like crude oil out of unwanted plant matter. These DesignerBiofuels™ are made as a byproduct from Bactria, and have a negative carbon effect, and the same amount of power as found in traditinal fule. Also, the cost of production is well below the current price for crude.
It would seem the only downside is they have yet to get comerssial production. If they do manage to get heavy production of there product, it could change the world.
I have been doing a fair amount of computer updates lately. Most of these old systems are all ATA-100 or older HD with the new system being all SATA. The problem being I need to copy all the data over the network. Since most of the world is on windows this means many hours of SMB transfer. Nothing wrong with that; except the old computer may be slow... that is no fun :-(
I have looked around for a boot CD with this in mind; and it seems no such thing is. Looks like I get my first chance at making my own boot disk! I hope that's possible on a mac.
This is not the first such letter I got. This company; Liberty Names of America, Inc writes saying if you don't renew your domain name, you may lose your exclusive rights to it on the web. While they are not the biggest rip-off I've seen, $29.00 for one year is quite a lot.
The biggest ripoff are these Domain tasters who find I have a .net address and don't own the .com address. They try to charge me 100's of dollars for the .com... a week later; it's free and I can buy it from whoever I want.
