I am trying to understand what Flash Cookies are ?
I know what normal cookies do, but Flash cookies are a little different....
I have heard that Flash Cookies cannot be deleted or are very hard to delete ?
Can anyone explain what Flash cookies are and can do ?!
Thanks!

Pop in the software cd that came with the macbook, the the snow leopard disc, whichever OS you want to put on there. Reformat the drive and install from scratch. Once you bring up the registration form stop at that point so the buyer can put all his information in. Use Carbon Copy before you reformat for the buyer.

Depends. If it's a WebKit-based plugin, yes.
WebKit-based plug-ins can be stored inside the bundle of any application that uses the WebKit, by storing it in:
AppName/Contents/Plug-ins
where AppName is the actual application’s executable bundle.
If you're not using a WebKit-based plugin (anything that works cross-platform), you'd have to install it into ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins and I doubt Apple would allow that.
But legally you'd have to get permission from the plugin's author to distribute it anyways.

Of course not. How else do you test a new cell phone? Plus, you know the FCC guys are all drooling over thiers right now which is why it is going to take so long to get approval.

This may have been found previously, but some apps that were not downloaded from the Mac App Store are showing this new "x" that unninstalls it. Google Chrome (dev version) And the beta version of Dropbox (1.2) both have the X in Launchpad.

Start with the normal stuff.... zap pram/nvram, reinstall OS X, then call AppleCare.
And repairing permissions, slightly less drastic than an OS install.

Hi, I am in need of saving some space on my Mac. I have noticed (especially with pictures) that there are a lot of duplicate everything in my hard drive.
The trouble that I'm having is sometimes when I try to delete pictures it says something about an original alis not being found; so I cant delete it.
Any help/tips on how to delete things would help, for I'm no computer wiz.
(I have a Mac OS X, with latest software 10.6.7)
Thanks!

This is precisely what I am afraid of. Why might a higher resolution, i.e., a screen with more detail, sharper images, sharper texts, make it harder or more of a strain to see/read? Is it only because the texts are smaller?
Well the higher res means that they can fit more detail on the screen by effectively shrinking the text etc because because it wont look pixelated and will give more space. Now thats fine on a large screen, but when it comes to the MBA and other netbooks, particularly the 11" MBA, the screen size is physically quite small, so the detail is shrunk even further in order to maintain the same ratio and high res. Difficult to explain and maybe somebody could do better than me.
Its fine generally as it's perfectly readable and makes for a nice amount of usable real estate on the screen, but it does encourage squinting, even for somebody with 20/20 vision.

All the posters in this thread seem to be for the AV but none have responded with a strong argument for it... Does this tell you something?
So far in the last few weeks whenever i have been involved with such a conversation no one who has been FOR the AV has argued a strong case, i would love someone to tell me what is so great about it?
Compare and contrast if you will... I ask this because the advantages of it are just not obvious to me.
How about all 3 of the major parties use it to elect their leaders?

Maybe I misunderstood the question. Of course a modal view will slide in from the bottom and slide off. But a modal view will cover the entire screen. If you want a transparent background or you want a view that only partly covers the screen you need to do it like I described. If you just want a view to slide on and cover the screen then use a modal view.
@misterGreen, in order to do this like I describe you don't present the sliding view from viewDidLoad. You present it in response to another message that the view controller provides and calls whenever it needs to present the picker. I think your Slider class is meant to be a UIView subclass.

There have been a couple of times now when I have noticed a page has been spammed with junk (and invisible) links. I notice when HexMonkey and Arn find something similar and they fix it, it shows up in the history/recent changes as '(Reverted edit of 123.123.123.123, changed back to last version by HexMonkey)' - Is there a button I'm missing that allows me to do the same or is it a moderator only function?
At present I'm just manually deleting the unwanted content and leaving a quick note (e.g "deleted spam").

Since max_altitude's Warhol (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=167926) didn't make it to the finals, it has to be Lacero's apple carving, no doubt about that... :)
I hadn't seen max_altitude's initially, thanks for the link. That is indeed a cool one, but Lacero's 3D masterpiece is the clear winner in my books. Obviously all the others are great as well, (everyone is far more talented than I, that's for sure!), but that one is simply impressive. :cool:

Umm...really? Are there really no church or religious groups on campus? It really is a race to the bottom to see who can be the nastiest people, isn't it? This dirtbag even admits that he really doesn't want "Traditional values centers", he just wants to close any gay centers. Hey fundies- keep your religious crap in church, where it belongs!
The Texas House of Representatives has passed a budget bill that would require any public college with a student center on "alternative" sexuality to provide equal funding to create new centers to promote "traditional values."
While the Senate has yet to adopt a version of the budget bill, the inclusion of the measure in the overall budget bill and the dominance of social conservatives in Texas politics means that the measure could well be enacted. The House vote in favor of the amendment on the campus sexuality centers was 110-24.
Many Texas public colleges -- as is the case at many colleges elsewhere -- have centers within student affairs departments that serve gay and lesbian students. These centers sponsor programming, refer students who need counseling or support groups, and serve as advocates for gay and lesbian students on their campuses.
Representative Wayne Christian, a Republican, proposed the amendment, which would apply to any public colleges with a center "for students focused on gay, lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, transsexual, transgender, gender questioning, or other gender identity issues." According to The Dallas Morning News, lawmakers "cracked jokes and guffawed" during debate, with one representative asking Christian what "pansexual" means. Christian urged the lawmaker to visit the centers at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University to find out.
Lawmakers supporting the bill have said that they favor only equal time for all kinds of sexuality.
But the Young Conservatives of Texas, a group that worked with Christian on the legislation, did so with the hope that public colleges would respond to a law, if the bill passes, by ending support for existing centers. Tony McDonald, senior vice chairman of the group and a law student at UT Austin, said in an interview that "we could try to get these groups defunded" in a law, but that the equal funding approach was viewed as more likely to pass (perhaps with the same impact).
McDonald said that he doesn't believe universities should be funding centers on any sexuality or values -- traditional or otherwise. He said that students "who want to promote a homosexual lifestyle" can do so "on their own time and with their own money."
Requiring the creation of traditional values centers would "give the left a taste of its own medicine," he said. He charged that these centers "are encouraging folks who consider themselves homosexuals to go on considering themselves as such. That's the point of the centers, and that's not something Texas taxpayers should spend their money on."
While supporters of the centers have said that they are needed to provide support for students who are in a minority on campus, McDonald said that it is actually traditional students who lack power. "If I were to walk through UT law school with a shirt on that said, 'Homosexuality is immoral,' if I were to do that, there would be an uproar. People would be upset, and it would be considered out of place and not acceptable to do that. I'd probably get a talking to. But if you go through campus to promote homosexuality, that is the norm."
While McDonald said he hoped that, if the bill is enacted, public colleges eliminate existing sexuality centers, he said that there are good programs that could be sponsored by a traditional values center. He said that they might offer programs to encourage chastity or marriage between male and female students, for example.
The budget measure is prompting derision from Texas liberals. A column in The Texas Observer began this way: "Imagine the plight of the heterosexual student stepping on to a college campus for the first time. How will he fit in? Should he tell his new roommate about his alternative hetero lifestyle? Will he be bullied, just like he was in high school, where he was mercilessly teased for being a sexual deviant? Where does a straight person turn?"
While centers in Texas await the outcome of the budget bill, the debate has already accelerated at Texas A&M University, where the leadership of the Student Senate is pushing the university to go on record by saying that it would not increase student fees to create traditional values centers, but would cut the existing Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Resource Center in half to finance a new center. In debate over the issue, advocates for traditional values centers said that straight students who may be questioning their sexuality need a center just as much as gay students do. Students said it was important to create "an equal playing field" for those who may disagree with the gay center. (The discussion may be viewed here, starting about 1 hour and 45 minutes into the meeting.)
Lowell Kane, program coordinator for the gay center at Texas A&M, said that he could not comment on the state legislation. But he said it was hard for him to accept the idea that gay students somehow have it better than their straight counterparts because of the center at Texas A&M or elsewhere. He noted that in various surveys of gay students about how welcoming the university is, Texas A&M does not do well.
"I'm sure there are instances where an individual heterosexual person might feel oppressed," he said, and that's wrong. But it's also not the norm, he added. "What we are talking about is the difference between an individual instance and societal homophobia."
"If you walk into any campus classroom or student health services, most of what you find is geared toward a heterosexual population and not a GLBT population," Kane said. Noting the suicide last year of Tyler Clementi, a student at Rutgers University, Kane said, "I have never heard of any student who took their life because their college roommate outed them as being a heterosexual student."
And turning to comments from students at Texas A&M, he added, "I have never had a student come up and complain that someone comes up and out of the blue calls them a 'hetero' and slapped them, but that happens to my students, who are called 'dyke' and 'fag.'

I don't think you're missing anything. It sounds like you just don't find Merlin's writing and speaking as inspirational or entertaining as his fans do.
I don't follow him as much as I used to, but a few years back he was writing a lot about productivity tools like Quicksilver and OmniFocus, and I got a lot out of those posts. His work clearly speaks to a lot of people, as he is fairly "Internet-famous" (e.g. having been invited to speak at Google and elsewhere). If the credentials for a motivational speaker include having motivated a sufficiently large number of people, he seems to have passed that test.
You are probably right. I just feel like the person in the room who doesn't get the joke, when everyone else is laughing.
I suppose he's an acquired taste.
Re: Productivity, I think David Sparks from MackSparky.com has some great ideas. I bought his book Mac at Work on Kindle and its a pretty good read.
