Re: My 5 Year Plan

It looks like you have some important and exciting years ahead of you. Good luck, I hope you reach most of your goals. Maybe I should think about writing up such a plan as well, although it would be far less ambitious than yours :-)

Paul Thurrott seems to be enthusiastic about Office Web Apps. I tend to
believe him. And he's pretty much the only one with hands-on experience,
too.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to help you very much, I'm glad you were able to
solve it though!

Kind regards,

If you created the USB correctly you should see a menu appear at start-up,
after which you usually can just hit <Enter> on the keyboard. After a while,
a graphical user interface should pop up showing your hard drive's layout.
Then you can start partitioning. From what I'm to understand you can't start
up from USB key.

Hussam,

http://gparted.sourceforge.net/documentation.php has some documentation
pages related to partitioning your HDD. I advise you read through those docs
first.

I hope that helps you!

It's best you just download the GParted Live CD. Pop that in and reboot. The
disc will run Linux and GParted from the disc, without the need of
installing Linux to your hard drive.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. They also forgot to mention - then - that if you own a pre-SP1 DVD, there's no easy way to slipstream SP1 onto it. It *is* possible, but you'll have to resort to third-party tools like vLite,

It's weird that a problem of this (apparent) magnitude hasn't been solved yet. It's not really clear what causes this error either...

Multiple monitor setups have always been a hokey point in Windows. I wonder if they'll ever get it right :-).

Apple has added over-the-air podcast downloading with the iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 software update.

Re: Apple releases iPhone 2.2 update, it’s a big one

aceontech — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 05:09:01 -0000

As Albert stated, I don't think we'll ever see Flash support for the iPhone. Even though Adobe's willing to co-operate in the development, it's Apple that needs to consent. I guess it's a pure strategic move, and there's nothing wrong with it. If I were Apple, I think I'd do the same. However draconian Apple's model is now, it does enable them to control the device top to bottom. That's what makes the iPhone so good.
It's just the nature of the beast, I guess.

The download-link seems to be broken, I'll be getting round to fixing it soon. Meanwhile, you can get the download link from Luigi Auriemma's homepage.

I'll be trying the "Blue Badge" tool by Rafael Rivera (withinwindows.com), which would unlock some features of the superbar. Weird to be excited about Windows again :-).

And the RAM can be tested using the Memory Diagnostic tool that comes with the Repair function on the Vista install disc.

@sam:

Much obliged!

In fact, NuevaSync is so good and reliable I've forgotten I was using it. I have yet to see anything go wrong with this service. Stability like this is pretty rare.

Note that if you're planning to have sensitive information synced to your iPod Touch, it would be smart to switch on the PIN-code feature in case the device gets into the wrong hands. Other than that, I don't see any reason to not make the jump.

Thanks a lot for visiting!

@Npod:

Just subscribe to your friends' calendars in Google Calendar, and make sure it's enabled by ticking the calendar's box in the calendar list. Your new calendar should be pushed to the iPod soon thereafter. I'm sure this works since I used this feature myself.

Thanks for visiting!

Calendar entries are stored on the iPod Touch, so yes, you can access them offline. You can also edit your calendar without a connection, since the iPod Touch uses Push to propagate changes. That means that once you get online, any changes are made instantaneously, upstream (from the Touch to the calendar) & downstream (from the calendar to the Touch).

@Doug
You're welcome. I've never understood why they [Apple/Google] made it so difficult to achieve in the first place, since Google Calendar adheres to the iCal Web Calendar standard.

@Travis
Check out http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/. In addition to the latest release of Firefox, Filehippo also gives you the opportunity to download any of the previous versions of Mozilla's browser.

Be aware that Mozilla's support cycle for FF2 won't last for a long time. If I'm not mistaken, Mozilla is planning to actively support [and patch] FF2 for 6 months after the RTM of Firefox 3. After that, you're left with an out of date browser, after which you'll be compelled to upgrade, or move to another one entirely.

Kind regards,
Ace

@Travis
You should be able to download FF2 somewhere on the Mozilla website. Otherwise, try Googling for it, since many download-sites hold on to files for a long time.

Re: iPod Touch: ‘January Software Upgrade’ after 1.1.4

aceontech — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:27:56 -0000

Hi Natalia and Clinton,

I haven't been able to test this, but I think the reason you can't download the update is because Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 3G. Along with it, Apple will also ship the software updates out to iPod Touch owners. So I reckon they'll want to make you purchase the latest update, which will include all of the features of 1.1.4, allegedly.

Apple is known for upselling their products. So I guess you guys will have to wait a bit longer. I suspect the price tag for the iPod Touch 2.0 update will be comparable to 1.1.4.

I hope this helped you and..
Thanks for visiting!

Sabit,

Thanks for your research, I'll check it out soon.
I requested a hotfix from Microsoft, too, but they denied me access to it in the end, for some unknown reason. So, I actually didn't get the chance to test their fix. Your link looks interesting, though, since it allows you to allegedly fix the partition flaw that's inherent to a lot of Dell's laptop.
