  1. Mac OS X migration assistant on How Long Does it Take You to Tweak a New Box? · · Score: 1

    i think there are about 4-5 clicks and your mac(s) take care of the rest via migration assistant

  2. file vault and scp on Backup Solutions for Mac OS X? · · Score: 1

    i use file vault on my work computer and used to have a crontab something like this for Documents and Library: /usr/bin/rsync -av ~/Documents serverUserName@serverName:/share/serverUserName/Do cuments/backupDir

    i already had generated ssh keys and this worked well. i'd have it run three times a day.

    however, i began to get thinking why encrypt my local home directory only to put it on the server unencrypted. so i've switched over to using scp to copy my entire file vault disk image once a week. i have gigabit enet from my computer and back to the server, so even a 15 gb image doesn't take too long.

  3. powerpoint is the problem on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 1

    in my college, powerpoint is what makes the classroom experience worthless. the professor stands in front of the class, repeating the material on the slide (giving very little beyond the slide), then making the entire powerpoint available via blackboard. what in the hell happened to taking notes with pen and paper?

  7. wireless device with RCA out? on iTunes Music Store sells 275,000 Tracks in 18 Hours · · Score: 1

    we have two 'books running jaguar and the itunes sharing is really slick, via an airport extreme (with old-style cards in the 'books).

    since this works so well between computers, i was wondering if there is some gizmo, far cheaper than an ipod, that could grab the signal and output the sound to standard RCA jacks. (of course a cube would be really sweet too.) i know the new ipods have some kinda output from the cradle, but they don't have a wireless remote.

  8. ogg vorbis on Apple Introduces iTunes Music Store, iTunes 4, new iPod · · Score: 1

    the new quicktime released today has the option of exporting 'sound to ogg vorbis'. i'm a mac user, but i thought you linux geeks might like to know...

  9. archives at u michigan on 95 (thousand) Theses (for sale) · · Score: 1

    i believe the university of michigan is a repository of all u.s. dissertations (for perhaps 40+ years); though i couldn't find it on the site, might be a start.
