Anyone here user Blender? (An open-source 3-D animation program.) Looks cool, but damn, it has a steep learning curve....
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
I used it for a while. You ain't jokin' about the learning curve, though I found it only slightly more difficult to learn than, say, The Gimp.
Not that I can do anything useful in either of them, so what do I know.

Is there a generic version of iPhoto, or some such, that I could use to extract photos from an inactive iPhone?
Or, can anyone endorse DiskAid for this purpose?
I have a G3 that I just want to use as a camera and ipod. My computer is a G5 using OSX 4.11, unupgradable ppc.

What I learned this weekend. OpenOffice database is NOT anything like FilemakerPro.
I guess I've been spoiled, as FMP is the only database program I've ever used. Does anyone know of an Open Source database similar to FMP, but maybe with less horsepower? I'm doubting it, but figured if anyone knew, it was this hive mind.

Anyone want to help me out with an XML/XSL/Javascript problem?

I'll help with the JavaScript part.

Sorry, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to approach the problem. And it looks like XSL is the thing I'm getting hung up on. But thanks, Rob - I'll let you know if I need help on the Javascript side....

Gmail Detects and Warns You If Someone Else Is Using Your Account
Gmail launched a new feature this morning designed to detect suspicious activity in your account and notify you when a suspicious login has occurred in your account.
Now, if it looks like something unusual is going on with your account, we'll alert you by posting a warning message saying, "Warning: We believe your account was last accessed from…" along with the geographic region that we can best associate with the access.
To determine when to display this message, our automated system matches the relevant IP address, logged per the Gmail privacy policy, to a broad geographical location. While we don't have the capability to determine the specific location from which an account is accessed, a login appearing to come from one country and occurring a few hours after a login from another country may trigger an alert.
