I'll be down until Time Warner comes and installs road runner in my house. I hope they come and install quick! Sucks as my 2gb data plan eats up quickly :(
Should have my rig up to full power again. :D

AJAX is the next big thing in web development, so yes, brush up on your Javascript and XML skills - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX
Yeah, I know XML, and am looking at XSL and XSLT as I type this. Good stuff. :cool:
What kills me is all this XML stuff is so simple (at least in its philosophy), yet so powerful in what it can do. :eek: :cool:
I've also answered my own question here (http://www.w3schools.com/). :)

That's so true! I really wanted to go ultimate this time and that's what i did :cool:
But i have to admit the cheapest iMacs are the best deals this time
*Edit*
One thing i'de like to add. If video editing for you means doing some cuts, arranging your material and maybe doing a quick colour correction you don't need a powerfull machine. Actually i'm doing this with 1080p DSLR and Sony EX Cam footage on my two year old mac mini without problems.
The reason i'm ordering a new iMac is that i hit my computers limits when doing extensive compositing in After Effects.
Hope that helps

i'll just post it here so if anyone else wants to do the same.
i just found a font that a member (Trimegistro) on mac themes ported. the name of the font is Candela. The post can be found HERE (http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=623585#p623585)
after you download it you will need to make a copy of it (**make sure the name is the same, aka not LucindaGrande-copy**). Then use one to replace the LucidaGrande.ttc file under /system/library/fonts make sure you totally delete this one before adding it first.
and the other to just replace the LucidaGrande.ttc file in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/
Versions/A/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
ProtectedFonts/LucidaGrande.ttc
**BACK UP YOUR FILES**
empty your trash, log out, and log back in and everything should look nice and new.
if you find any other font you want to use you need FontLabStudio to change the font to a .tts file.
good luck
Excellent post, ★★★★★. Finally I can have Apple Garamond EVERYWHERE. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! One thing, though. FontLab Studio is $650!! Anybody got a suggestion for another app that can do the same thing?

Justification for DRM
I understand the need for DRM. Apple would never be able to sell us all that great music without the DRM. I have no problem with the DRM. I think it's fair. If I were an artist, I wouldn't want to make it so easy for people to freely distribute my music royalty-free. If a million people like my song enough to own a copy, then I should see a million payments on it. That's fair.
Not as good for Apple as it would seem
A long time ago, Jobs stated that the goal of the iTunes Music Store wasn't to turn a profit, but to market iPods. By providing a easy-to-use, cheap, legal way to sell iPod-compatible music, Apple is able to sell more iPods. It has clearly worked like a charm.
So you're asking "well, if other websites can sell iTunes-compatible DRM protected music, it will sell more iPods too, right?" Well technically yes; You're right. But let me ask you this; what separated the Apple User Experience from most? What sets Mac OS X apart from other OS's, or the iPod apart from other MP3 Players? What makes the iTunes Store so much more popular than any other online music service?
The answer: Approachability. A quick learning curve, ease of use, simplicity, elegance, suave, charm, style. Apple's core marketing gimmick, the reason Apple is still around today, the reason the Apple experience is unique is because Apple maintains strict control over their user's experience, and they make the experience as pleasant as possible. Forr example, it's one of the specific reasons Jobs cited for killing off the Apple-licensed clone machines (back in the day).
Now, we all know Real. I don't know many people who can honestly tell me that they've had an overall easy or pleasant experience with Real. Their software media player is nearly a trojan horse, their tech support is abysmal, their website is obnoxiously hideous, etc. And they're one of the better alternatives. If vendors other than Apple have the ability to peddle DRM-protected music for the iPod, then Apple loses a bit of control over the iPod User Experience.
It might get ugly
Suddenly vendors start changing the rules, right under Apple's nose. Instead of the simple .99 pricing, maybe it's tiered pricing, arbitrarily set up by the folks in charge to make an extra buck, but it confuses/aggrivates the end-user. (and maybe record labels like the better bottom-line & start selling exclusively with Vendor B rather than Apple, thus the Music Store loses marketability). There's no quality-control. Vendors can start ripping less-than perfect copies of the music (or worse, music laced with ads!), market it as "ipod compatible" unsuspecting users buy it & the iPod experience diminishes. In short, Apple loses control.
I've been an Apple user since childhood. I've followed the company closely. I can tell you one thing with certainty. They do not like to lose control of their end-user experience.
DVD Jon may think he's doing us all a favor, and maybe in a shortsighted way he is, but ultimately he's spoiling Apple's marketing strategy & thus risking the iPod's position as the top MP3 Player in market share. The DRM isn't his to license. Hopefully his scheme will be fruitless.

And as for your comment about Eminem, what do you mean he is the only artist who writes his lyrics more than he freestyles? Eminem is highly skilled, but is musically garbage. His last album was a joke. He doesnt hold a candle to the likes of Common Sense, Nas, Rakim, Chuck D etc...
I hear you on this one. Especially, early Nas/Rakim. Their later stuff is garbage.

Hi, I've got a plist file with jpeg photo data in it. I need to get that photo out. I can read the plist file into an NSDictionary and can access the object at the key "jpegphoto". The problem is that the object returned is an NSCFArray that I have no idea how to work with. I can print it and I see a nice stream of octets come out, but that's all I know how to do. How do I get this NSCFArray into NSData or a byte array?
The CFArray when passed to NSLog like so
NSLog(@"%@", [data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"]);
Spits out hundreds of line similar to
5ed15ee6 df44b2ff 00899699 0dd23b58 dccdcadc 6c8d04e1 8b3e1940 af76953e 7c0e1b56
I know that it is a CFArray b/c I did
NSLog(@"%@", NSStringFromClass([[data_dictionary objectForKey:@"jpegphoto"] class]));
And got back
NSCFArray
Thanks

as long at rubbish and microsoft are in the same sentence, its a good story
True, I hadn't thought of that. Unless the sentence goes "I found out Apple is rubbish, so I went back to Microsoft.:p
My question is, why are we still allowed to post in this forum, considering it is in the archives?

Why European mobile service is better.
Almost everyone gets free incoming minutes.
Yeah, and you also let the person calling you pay a tarriff up to four times the rate of a fixed line call. Calling a mobile number can cost five times as much as making an international call 20.000 kilometres away. Ever wonder why Europeans don't use their mobiles to make voice calls? :)

I was thinking of selling my previous MacBook and purchasing an 11.6" MacBook Air because I loved the size and the form factor is so portable it would be great to carry around. However I remember my not so fond memories of the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e I owned back in November and quickly shot down that theory. The screen was just too small for me, which is why I returned that unit pretty quickly. If the 13" had been in my price range, I would have jumped on that instead. I ended up buying another MacBook which has been great, but the Air is an amazing product and when I decide to upgrade again I will be getting an Air.
