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!
but what I've done in the past is comment out chunks of code until functionality is restored (i.e. it compiles or tries to execute).
Yeah, there's that.
In this particular case I think it'll be easier to take an older version that I know works, and do a file comparison with the new version and add the changes in one-by-one until it breaks.
eta: Ugh. Found it. It was where I commented out a 'try - catch' block for testing - I commented out an extra '}'. The thing is, I thought that might have been the problem yesterday, so I looked at that twice and didn't see it.
My brain - she is not so much a steel trap....
Feelin' like a big idiot here.
I've googled for solutions to this problem and I suspect its solution is so duhm that it's beneath the spicy brains here...nonetheless...I need help.
Set up:
iMac running 9.1 and Pagemaker 6.5
I want to make a pdf of a document so that I can email it to a client.
I've made pdfs before, but somehow, something in the system has been fracked since last I tried.
The distillation goes along until I get a Postscript error.
The printer connected to this computer is an HP Laserjet 6L USB...no postscript.
I went through the process of creating a postscript translator but cannot figure out how to get it recognized by the chooser.
I used to be able to print Pagemaker files. Now? The text prints in shmooshy Courier.
What have I done?
The first flaw reported fools the browser into thinking software is being installed by a legitimate, or safe, website.
The second flaw happens when the software installation trigger does not properly check icon web addresses which contain JavaScript code.
So as long as you don't install any unknown software downloaded by the browser, you should be OK, yes?
Aw, CRAP.
My monitor was almost delivered today, but DH wasn't there to recieve it. Anyone know what FedEx's policy on computer deliveries is? (UPS automatically returns to sender, which is a ginormous PITA. I'm hoping FedEx will attempt a redelivery.)
[eta: Okay, they'll try again tomorrow. Fingers crossed...]
iTunes now selling videos: [link]
Music videos, so far.
So as long as you don't install any unknown software downloaded by the browser, you should be OK, yes?
Unchecking "Allow websites to install software" is the easiest way to neutralise the flaw for now. Extensions can be manually installed until a patch becomes available.
Oooh. Tablet laptop thingie from Apple would be cool. Not holding my breath though.
Meanwhile--is anyone else using Safari? The NYTimes suddenly started giving me weird looking pages, and saying it's because I must be using an "old" browser, or reading on a handheld. Which...not so much. Bastards.
Cars deemed safe from phone viruses. Huzzah!
Also, my monitor has arrived! It's shiny and pretty and I want to go home and ogle its shiny prettiness. The tower is currently "In Manufacturing" and is scheduled to ship by next Monday. Whee!
