sweet... too bad i rip all my movies to vob's... thankfully vlc handles them. I may have to rip my next movie as an iso to try this out tho!
Is there an advantage to ripping into iso format that I'm not aware of? I try not to lose the dts/ac-3 audio while compressing the crap out of the video. obviously i dont know much about ripping dvds tho...

Have you considered not buying a mac? Granted I have a macbook so I'm not trying to dissuade you from purchasing a mac. I think its great that you have the initiative to get a job to afford the things you want, especially at 14.
You said you want to run photoshop and some macromedia apps. I won't include internet browsing or media apps since they are not intensive apps and my old 733Mhz P3 server can do that.
My two cents: First off, why a macbook with a 13.3" screen? You will definitely want more screen real estate, so have you considered a desktop or second monitor?
Photoshop and Macromedia apps all run very well on a PC. Are you bound to apple computers for some reason? You could pick up a more than adequate Dell in the same configuration as the macbook for around 600$. I had a dell inspiron 8100 that lasted me 4 years in college and then lasted my brother 2 years of abuse.
Then again, the Dell E520/E521 desktops can be purchased with a monitor for less than 400$. Add some RAM to get 2GB and you've got a desktop that will make design work much more enjoyable and is upgradable for a few years worth of use.
Or you can just save the money and buy a macbook and feel like the cool kid in class! I love taking mine to class and having the old folks think I'm edgy lol... With that, I vote for a the entry level with added RAM.

you can try my regedit file which adds the option to remove the recycle bin. This is what I have always used. double clicking this file will add the option to show recycle bin on desktop in your folder options > view.
I did not create this, but have always kept it works for me.

if no thumbnail in the info window, you can open the applications resource folder by control clicking and selecting that option, and then open resources folder, rename default icon, and drop the new one in. make sure you match the names of the icons.
or you can just use iconverter to generate an icns with thumbnail from a png for example and use candybar, info window, etc...

cool thanks for the heads up... any one know of a free option that is similar to pixadex? i dont use it often enough to warrant paying for it...
-
great looking icons... cant wait to use them, but as i emailed you thru your site, candybar cant open you icontainer... just wondering if its something on my end or if anyone has mentioned it.... thanks
-
I have switched to OS X but still use my PC mainly for music storage. I commend you for keeping up with this fantastic application and sticking to your commitment to provide it for free. Thanks.

wtf is bollywood

youre looking at the wrong icon... the spaces one is up there but scroll up to the black one that igo was talking about "that Black icons with flying windows (frog, sunset and some flower)..."
-
I'm not sure yet... i tested it on a small volume populated with about 10 word documents, text files, folders, pictures... I ran a couple tests of renaming, deleting, altering, etc under the different options to see how well they worked... everything was very snappy and the options do exactly what the short explanation presents.
soon enough this will be used to sync my main music partition to folder on a non-partitioned (larger) secondary drive. The plan is to have a backup directory which is not limited by space constraints and later mirror w/ raid1 on a dedicated box for ftp/streaming from the outside...
-
I hate bumping threads like this, but this is a great tool that needs to be advertised a little... I am in the process of going raid 1 but until i build a new dedicated server, I picked up a 160 gb drive to backup primarily my music off my master partitioned drive. wanted free software that was easy to use and reliable... SyncToy offers about 7 options for synchronizing, echoing, etc; about any combination you want to backup folder a to folder b.
small, streamlined, free app... nice work microsoft!

Maybe because the same person made the iconsets... So what is it like to live in a box?
recognizing the similarities between gant and buuf contradicts your notion of being a recluse

buuf looks like a gant rip to me

i think most of yall who have posted have been confused... this is the "I GOT apple hardware" thread, not the "I'm about to get", "My hardware is shipping", or "I upgraded my shit" threads... its cool to hear yall are expecting new stuff, but this isnt the place...

congrats congrats
NC you likin' it so far?

ive never seen macbook offered w/o glossy screen.... i prefer them over non-glossy... everything looks more crisp and colors are more saturated to me... maybe its just color rendoring but i prefer it over my non-gloss desktop lcd.

I'm a grad student and mac + webct is a nightmare. Most webclasses, streaming video, etc is designed around windows, ie, and wmp. using a mac is a giant headache.
