Reply to Mac and PC side by side in Personal Computing LittleTinyFrogs Forums

I use both, PC for Work and Play, Mac for personal work and playing in tech. I've had a Mac 10 years now, love the power built in compared to windows(Mac built in automation is better, but windows is really catching up) Both system can be configured, but I find the built in Mac features with Applescript and third part add on's such as Alfred are just better than window.. Ok Stardock does a great job, but I still find the integration of third party apps are cleaner in t

Reply to The Car Talk Thread: What do you have? in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Ok, technically I bought the use for 2 yrs. 30,000 miles, so yes I did not buy the car, just the use of the car(aka lease). It was still the subsidy that lowered my lease payments, yes the lease company got the incentive, but they knocked that off the lease calculation. I also didn't want to risk getting stuck with a car that didn't age well, and right now that is a risk, but it seems like GM did a pretty good job, just no history of this technology,it may be better at agi

Draginol this question sounds surprisingly condescending for you. I have read and enjoyed your blog for years, and this post just surprises me. I don't know you outside of your blog, but I have followed your company and your success(I've sent you a few bucks here and there). I do not know the couple involved, but to judge them on their level of income seems wrong. As you have stated in the past(correct me if I'm wrong in this, I didn't spend much time googling a

Reply to Obama thinks government built my business? Really? in Politics Stardock Forums

Luck is a product of work.. There is no direct correlation, in that you get so much luck per hour of work. Only that to have luck, you need to put in work. Some need to put in more than others to get the same amount of luck.. Luck aint fair, but nor is life. Government can't make luck fair, and it shouldn't try. No amount of money put into government will make luck fair, if anything, it will decrease those trying to get lucky through hard work, which is bad news

Reply to AirPlay / iTunes love in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I use Airfoil, but there is a slight lag to the sound, so not good for games. They have a windows and mac version, both work with airplay for other pc programs. You can even get there iphone app to turn the iphone to an airplay speaker. (only good if you want to stream something from your pc to your phone) http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/

Reply to iPhone DRM is an example of bad DRM in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

My solution is just use the PC to power for the iphone and play the tunes off the iphone. Works fine, just set up work pc to ignore iphone by default. you can either pipe in the sound to your pc through line in, or use headphones. Option 2: Since you can set your work pc's valid programs,(your IT group likely won't complain to you about non work programs [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) I think if you can authorize your work pc with your itunes account it

Now that I have check box control, I see when this happens (I can now uncheck autosign in) It appears to after I load my user id. If I use a bad id, it rejects and send me back to the sign in without the error. If I log in properly, it happens around when the screen changes.

Another thing.. None of the check boxes work for me on the login screen. Although it may just be a graphical glitch, because autologon seems to work sometimes, It's never checked, even though I click on it.

If I don't hit the ok to copy the text and instead just click the [X] the program seems to run normally.
