Never call desigining stupid.....you will earn more money with desigining & will be able to use your creativity
... which I don't have any of, so it is stupid for me. I said that I did not want to become a stupid interior designer. I did not call the profession or designing, in general, stupid.

Is there any post vacant for Windows based articles? :D
Yes, if you are willing to write against it. :p

$7 per post IMO is low
I wanted to hear this from someone. I'll ask them whether there is a possibility of a raise in future.

Uh... If I could break through the discussion here, I'm having a problem with Finder. CPU usage going up to 120%, and even if I Force Quit, it relaunches finder with the same CPU usage. A restart helped, but it went back to high CPU usage again after a few hours. A bit annoying considering that the Mac is now louder than my WD MyBook external...

Anyone?

Goobi, do u have file preview enabled in Finder? Like automatic preview of AVI file in it's thumbnail?

Hello guys whats cooking here .... I am back after a BAN, ..... I was banned for asking Anna Kournikova on Digit Cover Page in Demand section ;-)
I call it Monarchy but since we could do nothing other than keeping shut, I mean what can't be cured has to be endured!!! No complains though!!

@aryayush
Congratula-F-lations, man you are insane!! How the hell do you manage time, for how long do you browse forums and how can you find time to reply to so many queries and now how can you manage to write articles!!
Are you Super-Mac-Man??

@gobi
I had similar problem earlier, found nothing in activity monitor but after trashing few demoware apps I am fine now. But I got another one though, I don't understand Disk usage, it showed 36gb free I copied 28 gbs of movies and it still shows 36 gb free. I deleted 28gb of Movies and it still shows 36gb free

Queries: 1) Looking for Irfan view like app in Mac, I found Xee, its good but not good enough!!

2) how to run java on mac, I prefer through shell.

I installed Photoshop CS3 (took a lot of time!). PSP got the most simple and ugly icon in the dock. Just a Ps in a blue BG. Why not the Photoshop icon?

jamesbond007 -
Tried Seashore? It should be like Irfan View.

@Dr: Yep. The default icons of the Adobe CS3 are really boring (although, informative I guess). Still, if you just google Adobe CS3 replacement icons you will find all kinds of links to various different icons. I think I'm using the Adam Betts icons...

@jamesbond: Thanks for the tip. I'll try that. Installed a lot of apps lately..shouldn't have.

As for disk usage, the item info on the desktop is very inaccurate, in that it changes after a long time. Your best bet is doing a get info on the disk each time you want to check for space remaining. Also the Finder statusbar is also pretty dynamic.

LOL! You're embarrassing me. I'm just an insomniac and that's not exactly a very impressive quality. :p

Yeah, that happens in Tiger sometimes. Seems to have been fixed in Leopard though.

OK. Just click on 'Register' and fill out the form and stuff. Once you are logged in, click on the 'Briefings' link. After that, you are on your own. That's the fun part. :D

Be careful though, it can be quite addictive. And you need a fairly capable connection to fully enjoy it.


BTW, Need For Speed Carbon is available for Mac OS X. :)

I installed Crossover to run uTorrent. But I'm unable to make utorrent connect to tracker. But now leeching from a Private Tracker after trying to connected for a long time and now it shows "Tracker Offline" which is not the case. It seems to work well with Public tracker...


Now 5 queries:
1. How to make utorrent connect to Private Tracker?
2. How to get the Icon instead of the crossover icon?
3. Should we click "Yes" or "No" when we start uTorrent?
4. Why doesn't the things in the UI don't work sometimes? Any way to fix this?
4. Why people say running crossover takes more RAM? It's less than what Firefox and Azureus takes.


We know Crossover + uTorrent isn't perfect (that's why 'Honorable Mention' than Gold/Silver/Bronze rating at Codeweaver's site), but these are the basic needs.
