It is very easy to fall into bad habits when using a computer for hours on end. You care about what you are doing, so can sometimes push yourself too far, or over-strain yourself.

It will gently remind you to take a break on a regular basis.

After searching the forums and trying various things, I still couldn't find a quick, reliable, free method of burning a VIDEO_TS folder to a pure UDF DVD, so that it would play in regular DVD players, as well trigger DVD Player to start up automatically.

How to reinstall/uninstall X11 on Mac OS X

As a Mac OS X user, I took some time to understand how I could best use Dropbox, given the way that it works. Thanks to all the Forum users who helped me understand this.

Не знаю, может у яблока так принято, но создавать кучу скрытых файлов на съемных дисках (флешки и проч.) - как то не красиво. Особенно, когда тебе чужую флешку дают, а ты возвращаешь "помойку" на ней. Очень некрасиво.

Почему Сафари 4 отображает в шрифте Georgia кириллицу шрифтом Times? -
Отключил дубликаты шрифта, и всё заработало. А откуда они вообще взялись, как думаете? Может, все дубликаты шрифтов вообще стоит удалить? (Они там, кстати, когда включены, помечены точечкой справа от названия шрифта, не знаю, что это значит…)

After several years of trying to figure out what task manager for Mac and iPhone worked best with my peculiar style of organization, I finally settled on Things from Cultured Code. The Mac application is easy to use, uncluttered, and can take advantage of many keyboard shortcuts, while the iPhone app [iTunes Link] gives me a portable version of the Things database to take on the road. While the iPhone app can do a local sync to a Mac, it still doesn't do over-the-air syncing, which I hope Cultured Code will add in a future release.

When I made Things my task manager, I needed to make sure that I could use the same database on both my desktop Mac and my MacBook Air, since the Mac version doesn't do syncing either. It turns out that one of the easiest ways to do this is to use the wonderful cloud storage application Dropbox to hold my Things database, and then point Things on both Macs to use the shared database.

It’s been a few hours since the Internet exploded over the Psystar Rebel_EFI bootloader and we tried it out on a few machines in the office and originally thought it failed. However, I let the boot screen run for a bit without touching the keyboard on an HP TouchSmart we had here and it suddenly dropped into the OS X install screen. A quick format using Disk Utility and I was, amazingly, in business. The touchscreen even worked!

Here's a simple way to move your swap partition under Leopard that appears to work for both Intel and PowerPC based Macs. Edit the file com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist, located in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons. Replace the /var/vm path with the full path to your swap partition.

Writing a book, short story or research paper is about more than hammering away at the keys until it's done.
