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!
Yep. It appears to be a known issue w/ third-party themes. I just wish the default weren't so freaking dark. I don't mind the graphical elements so much, but black text on a dark grey background is just unreadable.
It's odd. I don't have any problems with it being that dark. My default is a gray, graduated to light gray at the top, and the black text looks fine.
Are you on Leopard or could your monitor be set a bit dark?
I'm on tiger and my monitor is set to pretty much "normal".
I'm on Tiger and haven't changed my monitor settings in ages. Everything else looks perfectly normal.
Wacky. Hmmm. I was using the beta versions, I wonder if mine is a mix, somehow.
Question for those of you using Thunderbird.
Is there any way I can change the settings so that when composing e-mail responses, my text is above the original sender's? I hate that the default has me answering below the original e-mail text. Thanks!
Never mind. Figured it out!
what is the file suffix ".flac"? it's a sound that plays fine, but how/do I need to convert it to an mp3?
aflac?
sorry. bad joke.
Vortex, here's the wikipedia entry on the Free Lossless Audio Codec (.flac) and it lists a bunch of compatible software, I'm sure on of them can convert to .mp3 if you need.
Vortex, Mac or PC?
Here are a couple of ways of doing it, although there may be other conversions out there.
PC:
OSX:
ETA Lossless, etc, addressed in x-post.
Anyone use Firefox 3 and Vista? I use Firefox 3 at home with Ubuntu and XP and it works perfectly. At work with Vista, it is a crashfest, even with all add-ins and themes removed. I'm lucky if I can make 6 clicks without Firefox crashing. Ironically, the crash reporting tool also errors out. I've reverted to Firefox 2 since it is a rock of stability.
I'm trying to learn more about photography. People tell me I have a knack for it, but I feel extremely ignorant about most aspects of it.
It doesn't help, though, that photographers measure things in different units than everyone else does.
I was looking at a camera, that said it had a sensor size of 1/1.7". WTF is that supposed to mean? I found this page, which is the only thing that was even remotely coherent, and I still don't have a clue. It's very frustrating.
