Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
There is a usenet group I still get info from; the server does not quite meet usenet standards. (The date/time field is the wrong length or some such.) Something got frelled in a post, and I can no longer read it via thunderbird newsreader, though outlook newsreader works fine. (Basically in thunderbird, the frelled post shows up as the last post, nothing posted thereafter downloads, whereas outlook is able to skip the bad post and move on.)
So I need a new free newsreader, non-ad supported. Any thoughts?
Xnews is excellent. Takes a bit of getting used to after Thunderbird or Outlook Express but is worth the effort.

So, if I was scanning images to be used in a power point presentation, what resolution would I want to scan them at? I was thinking 72dpi.
If you want them to appear on screen at roughly the same size as they look on the original printed page, then 72 dpi should do it. But if it's a small image that you want to look make appear larger on screen, then you'll have to scan at a higher dpi.
Sorry if this is obvious.
I love Bbedit. I've used it at work for years. It has nice search-and-replace stuff, and you can make it play nicely with Dreamweaver if you're so inclined. I use it for everything from web pages to shopping lists.
I've been using emacs since the mid eighties. It would take far too long to unlearn everything and be productive in another editor.
Pity me.

Heh, I still use Lotus 123 commands in Excel. There are some things that are just quicker that way.
I still use vim about half the time, especially for coding. If somebody gave me a nicer gui for it so it could look pretty on my Mac and have useful mouse selection for copy+paste, I'd probably use it for everything.
At least no one has been claiming to be still using vi. I do kinda miss pico.
I use pico plenty. Also, nano.
