Re: [CGUYS] On Line TV Listings [WAS: the Myth of TiVo [was Re: DVD-RW]]

2007-05-24 Thread MrMike6by9

For those who might like to use an online resource for listings, I
recommend www.titantv.com and www.zap2it.com. They each are
customizable for your local carrier and give you about 7 days of
programming. If you have multiple outlets, TitanTV is better since you
can setup a tab/page for each such as 1 for digital cable, 1 for
directv, and 1 for OTA/analog. Titan can also be customized to default
to a time of day. Mine is set for prime time, 7PM - 11PM. Both
services provide synopses of shows, cast lists, whether first run or
repeat, and future air dates as well as info like whether it is HD or
in DTD/DD 5.1. BTW, the Tivo listings give about 14 days of
programming information and thinking of it as a substitute VCR is
liking thinking broadband is the same as dial up.

YMMV

 Have you tried EasyFind? www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware


Don't like it. Slow. Not enough choices. None of them could find the 
chocolate chip cookie recipe in the system.


Of course. This is not a good tool for searching file contents as it does 
not index files beforehand. It is great for the purpose we were 
discussing: finding file names.


None of the search tools could find exactly what I wanted quickly 
without having to muddle through a big list of irrelevant results. None 
of the tools could search the system without first using Safari 
[Location = file:///usr... etc.] to open some of the invisible folders 
and add to the sidebar, or using OnyX.


Yes, EasyFind finds file names, but it's much slower than the others. 
It's so slow that it's like browsing on dialup.

Why would you be searching in invisible folders. The invisible 
folders are well structured so if you know what you are doing you should 
know exactly where the file you need resides. If you don't know that, 
then you probably don't know enough to be mucking with those files.

I don't get what Safari (a web browser) has to do with any of this.

Yes, EasyFind finds file names, but it's much slower than the others. 
It's so slow that it's like browsing on dialup.

Not always. If a file is indexed then programs with pre-built indices 
will of course be faster. If you have no index or an indexing problem 
then EasyFind is much faster. Many who dislike the user interface of 
Spotlight or Google, do like EasyFind. It all depends...

[CGUYS] Black space in screen

My desktop is in the shop, so I attached my Toshiba Satellite M55-S139 (14.5 
diameter) laptop to the monitor, an HP L1925 (19 diameter). The screen fills 
up horizontally (left to right) but not vertically. Black horizontal spaces 
are above and below the image. What do I need to change?

Also, the image seems clearer that what I get with my desktop, a storebuild 
Windows XP computer.  Any suggestions for improving clarity with the desktop?

Presumably this is because you're running at a different screen
resolution. No biggie, just use the controls on the monitor to adjust
the vertical size and centering.

I dunno about clearer. Maybe you have Cleartype

Another way of doing it is to cycle through the running applications with

You are changing the way the computer boots, so expect _something_
to touch the existing drive.  If you want the current drive's boot
options left alone untouched, how about these options ...

1) Install a virtual environment such as Parallels or vmware server
and that will give you a virtual machine where you can install another
OS (even another copy of windows).  From my experience, though, running
a Linux distro as your base OS and running vmware server on Linux then
installing Windows in a virtual machine gives better performance.

2) If you only want to try out Linux, you can completely remove the
Windows drive and replace that with your spare drive.  Install Linux
and test/break that installation as you wish and your Windows disk
is safe sitting on the shelf.


Perhaps the best thing to do is try #2.  Understand how the disk
partitioning works during the first installation.  Kick the tires;
try to break things.  Try to install VMware server for Linux (#1
above).  Keep good notes.

Then blow that installation away.  Start over; partition the disk into
two (or more); install Windows (you still have the Windows installation
media, right?) in the second partition; then install Linux in the first
partition.  It will install Grub with the boot menu with Linux and
Windows options.  If you like this, keep this installation.  As a
bonus, you now have a brand new Windows installation without
accumulated crud, and you can add the original drive as a slave and copy
all your data back.

 Would something like the following work?

 Specify drive 1 (via the BIOS) as the boot drive, have the MBR created
 there and set up GRUB to boot Ubuntu off drive 1 and Windows off drive
 0.  If drive 0 is respecified as the boot drive, then it just boots
 Windows.


So you have Windows on HD0 and Linux on HD1, and you change the boot
disk in the BIOS every time you want to run the other OS.  I would find
this annoying, but, yeah, it might work.

The most likely reason I can think of for this not to work is that
 Windows may not like being booted this way.


As long as you don't move the HD with the original Windows installation,
it shouldn't complain.

Any chance of success?


You have good backups, right?

Did he, by chance, accidentally drag the windows taskbar down off the screen?
I have helped a couple people who did this by accident.

Or perhaps the bottom taskbar was changed to show only the QuickLaunch
toolbar and not the TaskManager toolbar, or something similar  If the
taskbar is not locked, then these can be accidentally adjusted with a
quick drag of the mouse.

If not, then it sounds like another Windows 'feature'.  The ALT-TAB
keys previously mentioned should bring back the applications.

Hope this helps,
