I would like to start writing an email with Mail.app from Terminal, and add an attachment. Something like this:
macbook:~ me$ /Applications/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail -s the_subject -to [email protected] < ~/Downloads/file.zip
I'm running the OneNote 2010 beta and wondering if there is a way to edit the default styles?
If you change the default font, the styles wont be changed. Is there any template, registry key or file that allows for the styles to modified?
Is there any software out there on the internet, preferably free, that can turn a large amount of images into transparent gifs (Assuming that all these files have the same background color that I want to set transparent)?
I basically have a sonic wall firewall protecting a server which I want to SSL VPN log into with multiple computers. However, I would like to do this by having those computers (or router with computer) connected to a Mac's ethernet port (the vpn would be over wireless) through the internet sharing feature on the iMac. We use the provided Sonicwall Netextender VPN Client to connect to the firewall / server and would like to only have to use one SSL ID to cover all the computers by only having the central Mac sign in. Can anyone out there help me achieve this or tell me it isn't possible? Thank a lot.
I have two virtual machines set up from Virtual PC on Windows 7 Professional: Windows XP Mode and Xubuntu. Last time I used them (last month or so), I had closed them by hibernating.
Evidently, I have meanwhile downloaded a Windows Update affecting VPC and now receive the following error in restoring either of them from hibernation:
'Xubuntu' could not be restored
because of either host processor type
mismatch or lack of hardware-assisted
virtualization support in the system.
I've been through the virtual machine's settings, and there's nowhere an option to simply reboot it. (Virtualization is not the problem, as I can create a new virtual machine without any problems.)
Any ideas?
The problem is i like to listen to videos online (mostly or all flash video) while programming and never had any problems until i started using eclipse, now every time i do just about anything other than type, it makes the video skip/freeze really bad and is really annoying. I have never had this happen using visual studio, netbeans, or adobe flash for that matter, unless i was compiling or doing something that hogs the processor.
Are there any settings that might could fix this its getting really annoying. it happens almost every time i even click "find" on the find pop-up window and it is not like it is having to search a big file or anything it is only 700 lines, with honestly only about 1/2 that have content on them. Any ideas?
Set up:
mid 2009 17" unibody MacBook Pro
4GB RAM
2.66 Core 2 Duo
Snow Leopard 10.6.6
Lightroom 3
When working with 12 MegaPixel RAW files from a Nikon D700, no problem. Lightroom is fine.
Recently I've been scanning film and they result in large tiff files, about 130mb each. The tiff files themselves are good, and I'm happy with my scanning workflow.
Working with these files in Lightroom is perfectly fine, except for one step.
When I choose one of these photos in the Develop module, Lightroom displays the "Loading" on the image for about a minute or two, which is quite long.
Once the image is loaded, then everything is fine again, and applying effects is instant.
So my only issue is reducing that "loading" time in the develop module (the library module is fine too).
Will increasing my RAM to 8GB help? I'm worried about spending the money and it not making any difference.
thanks

I am getting the error "The data area passed to a system call is too small. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007A)" when trying to create a scheduled task on a particular windows machine.
The problem description is identical to that described in this Microsoft KB article
I followed their steps to resolve:
Stopped the task scheduler service (right-clicked "Task Scheduler" in the Services window from Control Panel and selected "Stop").
Restarted the task scheduler service
Waited 15 minutes
tried to schedule the task.
But the error is persisting.
To give more context of how we are creating these scheduled tasks, they are actually generated automatically from a configuration script (we run the script each time we wish to make a change). Each time this happens, it deletes all of the existing tasks and creates new ones.
I don't know what else to try.... but surely there is some way to "reset" the task scheduler... How can I stop this error from happening.
I want to convert my music from flac to ogg, and currently oggenc does that perfectly except for album art. Metaflac can output album art, however there seems to be no command line tool to embed album art into ogg. MP3Tag and EasyTag are able to do it, and there is a specification for it here which calls for the image to be base64 encoded. However so far I have been unsuccessful in being able to take an image file, converting it to base64 and embedding it into an ogg file.
If I take a base64 encoded image from an ogg file that already has the image embedded, I can easily embed it into another image using vorbiscomment:
vorbiscomment -l withimage.ogg > textfile
vorbiscomment -c textfile noimage.ogg
My problem is taking something like a jpeg and converting it to base64. Currently I have:
base64 --wrap=0 ./image.jpg
Which gives me the image file converted to base64, using vorbiscomment and following the tagging rules, I can embed that into an ogg file like so:
echo "METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE=$(base64 --wrap=0 ./image.jpg)" > ./folder.txt
vorbiscomment -c textfile noimage.ogg
However this gives me an ogg whose image does not work properly. I noticed when comparing the base64 strings that all properly embedding pictures have a header line but all the base64 strings I generate are lacking this header. Further analysis of the header:
od -c header.txt
0000000 \0 \0 \0 003 \0 \0 \0 \n i m a g e / j p
0000020 e g \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0
0000040 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 035 332
0000052
Which follows the spec given above. Notice 003 corresponds to front cover and image/jpeg is the mime type.
So finally, my question is, how can I base64 encode a file and generate this header along with it for embedding into an ogg file?
The printer won't print with empty color cartridges. I want to print only black ink. From what I've read so far the Epson Stylus C84 won't print like this because it uses a little bit of color in even when you print only in black to prevent the ink heads from drying out.
Is there ANY way that I can bypass this?

Any ideas on how I can set the console resultion like I want it?
I have just purchased a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 motherboard, and it has dual Realtek RTL8111D gigabit LAN ports. I also have an Intel PRO/1000 MT PCI gigabit network card lying around from an old desktop. I've heard that Intel PCI-E network cards will often outperform Realtek, Marvell, or other non-Intel on-board network adapters, but my question is will the PRO/1000 MT PCI card outperform a single Realtek RTL8111D gigabit network adapter in terms of transfer speed, or should I keep what I have/buy a PCI-E Intel network adapter?
I have a netbook with no CD drive, so I need ot install from USB stick. I need to install backtrack on my netbook for a wireless security project for school. How is this done? I only have a 4GB stick.
I'm also able to mount the .iso from on the netbook, but I'm not sure how to get it to install to a partition off of a virtual drive.
I am using Mail.app (running snow leopard) to connect to my email account on my school's Exchange 2007 server. I get my Inbox just fine, and iCal connects to my Outlook Calendar just fine, but I cannot seem to get any of the Exchange Public Folders that I can automatically see when I am using Outlook on a Windows box.
The Account Type is shown as "Exchange 2007"
I did not have any luck Googling this problem, in fact most of the results I saw were dealing with the opposite problem:
Remove MS Exchange Public Folders
I am aware that my question is a duplicate of this:
http://superuser.com/questions/103115/apple-mail-app-all-exchange-folders-not-visible
but since that question did not get any responses, I am reposting.
I would like to know, what is the different between, the build-in CentOS server web server vs I install manual with yum install httpd
I am new in CentOS. I just installed my CentOS 5.8 Server with Web Server checked.
With some Google Search with LAMP installation, they listed with yum install httpd
I had check inside
/etc/init.d/
already had httpd
I try to run yum install httpd http-devel
It shows not yet installed.
What will happen if I install yum version? What should I do? What is the best practise? Should I remove the Web Server install by default with CentOS?
My goal is install LAMP (PHP v5.2.17).

When this happens (I noticed it twice until now) the old time always corresponds to the time when computer entered sleep. The problem is that if Windows Media Center is scheduled for recording during this time, it just skips it as if the computer was turned off. I never had this problem running Windows Vista on the same machine.
Any ideas what could be causing this problem and how to solve it are welcome.

Can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong here.
I'm amazed this question haven't been asked here. There are many discussions about it out there and even a way to remove the blue glow. Of course I've already filled my complain with apple...
But, is there a way to have the old expose on Snow Leopard? Or maybe a mix of both.
The only thing I like on the new one is viewing minimized windows, but not always.
So I'd like better been able to tweak it a little bit, but just having the old expose would be fine.
I broke my file association in XP... Does anyone have any clue how to fix it? When I right click and select Open With... the application I want to use (NetBeans) to open the file is not on the list... and when I browse for it it won't let me select it (well it does but then won't add it to the list).
The way I broke it is by installing 6.7 and then uninstalling 6.5.... since then my file associations have all been broken. I even tried uninstalling NetBeans and reinstalling it again... no luck...
I even went as far as adding my own action called "OpenIt" to the file types I wanted... and that works... but only if the file/folders that contain in don't have any spaces... otherwise NetBeans throws a ".....does not exist, or is not a plain file". Thus nothing off the desktop can be opened...
Does anyone know of how I can fix this problem?
Thanks.
I have been trying a lot (but not smartly) to figure out setting up VIM, ctags, omnicomple for PHP development.
On Googling I found this file. But have no clue how to use it.
What have I done until now?
Here it is:
I am on Fedora 17 64-bit OS
Logged in as root Found my VIM version
to be VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled May 8 2012
15:05:51)
Followed the install details as here http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3171
install details
Place in $HOME/.vim/autoload/phpcomplete.vim and enable the php ftplugin
What else I am missing?
How do I start using omnicomplete. (this is the first time I am using omnicomplete)
Why didn't I try IDE's?
I have a single core machine running LAMP stack. Didn't wanted to slow down everything and hence sticking to command line environment.
Question
Is there any easy way in Outlook 2007/2010 to show/hide meetings in a specific category? Preferably only for a specific view (the Month view, in this case).
Note: I was almost done writing this question, adding just one more "What I've tried" option, when I found an acceptable (though imperfect) solution. Remembering this SE blog post I figured I might as well post it after all and answer it myself. And who knows, perhaps someone else has a more elegant solution.
The reason for me personally is that I'd like to hide the "small, recurring meetings" like our daily stand-up meeting in the month view. I'd prefer an Outlook feature that is meant for this (there must be one for this, right?), but I'm open to workarounds or plugin suggestions as well.
What I expected to find somewhere was a list of categories (with added option "No category") where you could select/deselect from which categories you'd see meetings. Something like this mock-up:
What I've tried
Edit "View Settings", and use a "Filter..." on categories. This has several disadvantages, the major one is that the filter only allows me to choose what I want to show, but not what I want to hide. Even if I tick all categories but one for the filter it would still hide any uncategorized meeting.
Similar to 1, but then using Advanced filters. Still a bit clumsy as changing views can be up to three clicks, but this is the best solution so far (see the corresponding answer below).
Creating a sub-calendar for these "small" meetings that I wish to hide. This felt a bit clumsy and like overkill, but did provide an easy "select/deselect" option to show/hide these meetings.
Search for plug-ins that do this. Couldn't find one (yet).
I'm attempting to change the boot device priority on a older HP. When it starts up it flashes a HP splash screen then just goes black with a blinking caret.
I tried the suggestion of leaving it off for 5 sec then hitting F1. No dice.
I'm using a USB keyboard. I might grab a PS2 and give it a go. Any other ideas?
