Well, myself, I just dump any mp3s I wish to listen to on an SD card and plug it into my Palm PDA, and play it through that. It has an earphone jack which works perfectly fine with mp3 player software, and the upside is I can edit word documents, take notes in class, play games, pretty much anything on it in addition to listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks.
Calling something one thing when it is specifically NOT that thing. For example - PODCAST. This is actually very clearly defined. A podcast is published through RSS feeds which direct the listener to a downloadable audio file which can then, and this is the really key part, be sync'd to their portable media player, generally an ipod, but others work. <
CursorXP is not a part of ODNT anyway Basically, this is the category of tools that takes the most work and modification to work on a new version of windows (or any MAJOR new version of any OS) right next to drivers - system modification tools. Tools like stardock produces work at quite a low level, and so they get tripped up easy by new versions. Those who say there have been no significant c
Agreed. While my desktop system is über, I would not say so much about my laptop, which is actually running Vista also (albeit a test copy, whereas I've gone full conversion on the desktop). Doesn't sound like such a big deal unless you consider that my laptop is an 800mhz P3 (min spec for Vista) with ATI Rage Mobility M1 graphics (not even a driver available, I "tricked" a driver for the closest ATI card there is on), no driver for the sound (But I managed to get the XP driver from HP on), no d
I tried, really I did. I wanted to get into the fanfic scene, but I am just too vanilla for it. I like those het fics that nobody else seems interested in, and I have a bit more of a literary bent. So, now I'm kinda halfway regretting buying "seventhbook.com" in anticipation of the 7th book last year. I even spent countless hours customising eFiction to look
I don't see ObjectBar on the list at all - what's the status?
I tunes won't work for me unless it's excluding from being skinned. Just in case... Well, I have nothing skinned currently anyway, having too many bugs with WindowBlinds 5....
iTunes 7.02 has worked on my machine running Vista for the past few months. Not sure what the issue is on your machine. Not an issue on my machine per se, this is a problem that is acknowledged by Apple and <
Okay, so I have a LOT of files on a LOT of hard disks... One thing I discovered really quickly is that files with an other other than the current user will give problems. So one of the first steps on a new Vista system is to head off into the deep depths of many hard drives, and take "ownership" of all the files under your main user's name. This eliminates many of the
So iTunes breaks in Windows Vista, that is, if you have purchased iTunes music... Apple announces a patch soon after the Vista release, and says there will be a new version if iTunes in a "few weeks"... Who do I blame here? MS? No.... they might have broken compatibility, yes. However, Apple has been able to get its hands on Vista for over a year, as has anyb

Wonder if it'll work for my Vintage 1998 or so Hauppauge WinTV/PCI.... N/M... just looked at that page... the closest model, the WinTV/PCI FM, works, so mine probably would... However it won't do support the Media Center, so it isn't really worth getting going. Owell probably time to buy a new one. It *is* the oldest piece of computer equipment I use..
Yeah, well windowblinds isn't working for me on Vista.... I get windows classic interface whenever I try to apply themes.

Not really a solution for those of us who are happily computing with a 21" sony Trinitron. I offer a solution, and all you can offer is trolling?

Wincustomize attention? I can't apply the WC Select suite - theme manager crashes out.
One of the first things you'll notice with Vista are the new User Account Control dialogues. They can be exceedingly annoying, yet Microsoft has actually posted begging people NOT to turn it off. However, if you are still using CRT's (and maybe this happens with some LCD screens), the dialogue is accompanied by a very jarring "re-synch" of the monitors. Every
Got Vista, and wouldn't you know it, got problems. I'm just one of many, I know, but I might as well share with the world MY experience on Vista.. 1) Initial install failed utterly. Vista told me it couldn't find a suitable partition. 'scuse me? I had just wiped 200gb on my XP drive, leaving XP on the first 120gb, and the rest of the drive clear. I ended up going back to XP, setting the second partition active, going back to Vista setup, and it let me install. Then it g
the 'caveat' should be..... Wait and see, because it's clearly too early to actually KNOW.... Agreed. I know that I certainly am not buying today.
You might want to check your sources too. I did research this before posting: Ars Tecnica Link ZDNet Link Microsoft Confirmation and a POSSIBLE workaround So at BEST, there's a "maybe" on this one. Many source
See here: ZDNet Post Regarding Vista License The Relevant bit: If you purchase a new computer with Windows Vista preinstalled, or if you build your own PC using an OEM version of Windows, this change doesn't affect you. Your copy is locked to that PC and cannot be transferred to another. I keep seeing people claim otherwise, but I don't see any hard evidence of it. What I do
Vista is a nice OS, I will probably upgrade within time. However, before you go all buy-happy, here are a few warnings: 1) You'll want the Premium version. Home Basic is needlessly crippled, and Ultimate is needlessly expensive. Unless you're doing wierd developery things (which you'd know if you were) then you likely don't need ultimate.

I think the problem is that gadgets look/act just like widgets in every other way, it is kindof expected to be able to bring them to the foreground in the same manner, and there's no technical reason why this shouldn't be possible.... So basically, I had to toss out those gadgets, and any others like them, as completely useless for me, since I'm not going to get in the habit of minimizing everything on my system every time I want to see the time, weather, etc.

Okay, I can reproduce this pretty easily. The background: I created a small object, based on advice from the sdc chat, that will show/hide my widgets when I mouse over it. Obviously, to do this, it has to stay visible. So I docked a thin white line to the right edge of my screen, 1 pixel wide, and set it to "Always on Top"... it has a mouseover script that simulates an "f10" press, which shows/hides all my widgets. It functions correctly in that the object itself stays on the s
Okay.... it seems the problem isn't the F-Keys but rather the widgets themselves. The widgets I'm trying to toggle are the calendar and clock that came with the WC Select suite. Apparently, since they are standalone widgets, the F9/F10 toggles don't work for them, but the toggles DO work for regular DX objects. Is there any way I can get the standalone widgets to respond as well?
I'm trying to get my dx widgets to come to front, but they seem to be ignoring the F-Key function to show themselves. I've tried changing the default F-Key, yet nothing seems to help. F-Keys work in other applications, so it isn't my keyboard settings... They won't budge, and I have to minimize/move apps to see the widgets/objects. Am I missing something incredibly basic here? Help?
