I used Reqall before I had an iPhone. I don't use it at all now.

Toddson, I don't know if you solved your .pdf issue, but feel free to send it to me at my profile address and let me know how many characters you need in each form field. I may be able to resolve the problem.

Just a reminder. For people who find various things on Facebook annoying, but wish to continue using it. Get Social Fixer [link]

It contains extensive custom features. Among the stuff I use it for: 1) Turn Timeline into a single column, width determined by me, and get rid of a lot of the extra things that interfere with finding posts 2) Make news feed in chronological order the default. 3) Hide "trending stories" 4) When news stories are shared via apps, making clicking on them go directly to the story instead of to an app invitation. T

All these things are options, so you can leave any of them alone of if you like the way Facebook does it. And there are hundreds of ways you can customize Facebook with this app to make it do things your way. Simple to install. Simple to use. I highly recommend it for any Facebook user unless you are thrilled with the interface Facebook provides as is.

love Social Fixer! the guy who created it is super nice too.

Dammit, I wish there was a Skitch for the PC. It's quickly become my screencap application of choice for the Mac. Lots of different options (being able to set the borders of the Skitch window as a frame, for instance, so you clip exactly the same size and position every time is surprisingly useful to me). And it's nifty on Android too, for quick annotation and stuff.

But...no Windows. Hmmph.

Gnargh. I've got to chase this down tomorrow. I bought a LG BP40 DVD burner (external) and it doesn't ship with OS X software. I would not put it past the guy who tried to help me, because he was clueless, but the web does say it's Mac supported. However the web doesn't say *how*. VLC and FFMPEGX are both having none of it. At least VLC got as far as an error message which I will hunt down tomorrow.

But if anyone here knows a quick answer like: you're fucked, or I know some free software that brilliant at that, that would be gratefully received. I'm just...entirely spoon free at this moment.

this?

I was rushed last night. It's recognised, and DVDs work fine. It's Blu Ray discs that have a problem, and I can't work out where on their site to download Mac software to play them, and my trusty VLC-plays-everything fails. It tells me I need a library for AACS decoding, and although I've followed the instructions here, no dice.

So, apparently, Blu Rays and OS X are "a thing". I've only been able to find two products that really say they do it (VLC's support is experimental, also non-existent for me). And they both play my first test discs unacceptably jerkily. I'm disappointed.

I had no idea this would be an issue.

Also, they both display the same disc menus, which are not the menus I see on my standalone Blu Ray player. I haven't verified it, but I don't see any immediate way to see all of the extras. So I have an increasingly large collection of movies that I can't watch on my computer like I've grown used to.

There also seems to be a licensing requirement that my computer be connected to the internet when I play the disc. But at this point I can't honestly be arsed to explore that.

I did not see this coming.

Anyone here with a Blu Ray drive on a Windows machine? What's the support like?

I'm connecting over USB 2.0 on a 2.53 GHz Intel machine with 4GB RAM--is it likely that it's a hardware issue?

I really wish the Fry's sales assistant hadn't been such an idiot. He didn't know what BD-ROM meant. When I'm reading off the back of the box faster than the person paid to do so...well, you can see how much I don't know about Blu Rays. Knowing less is pretty dicey.

How is Fry's return policy? Even if you end up out shipping it might be worth while.
