nope, alangmead was right. Opt-a will make a (yellow-highlighted) bar, which will land on top of whatever vowel you type next. Opt-b is the same for the 2nd tone.
Textedit actually does a pretty good job with typing Arabic. (You have to enable & learn the Arabic keyboard layout of course, & don't forget to right-justify;) It can get confusing if you're trying to use both Latin & Arabic in the same document, since selecting text becomes a bit of a nightmare. I'm sure it follows some kind of logic, but I've never figured it out.
The thing I've been frustrated by is lack of web browser support. Camino & Safari both produce readable text now, but with strange mistakes (like certain letters coming out 5 points smaller). Last time I tried OmniWeb, it was beautiful, but all the words were spelled backwards!
I'm sorry. When you're at war, your primary concern is to mitigate the losses of your own people.
I disagree completely. When you're at war, your primary concern needs to be resolution with the fewest casualties period. Innocent civilians are not expendable, and tens of thousands of Americans are not worth more than hundreds of thousands of Japanese.
I correspond with a prisoner in Texas. Right after W "won" for president, my friend wrote me, "Sorry about the Bush thing, but we HAD to get him out of here. He wanted to kill ALL of us!"
You can buy a cassette... and you can make a copy of the songs on that cassette and LEGALLY give a copy to your friend.
Uh, no, that's illegal. It's just not what the RIAA fight is about. They panicked when tape machines came out, but more so when cd-r promised PERFECT copies of music. Even more with the WIDESPREAD close-enough-to-perfect distribution of mp3s over p2p networks. But copying & giving away (or selling) copyrighted music in any format is illegal, except under the very limited scope of educational fair use.
Whether it's WRONG is an entirely different debate.
I took a nice new car that I saw at the dealership down the block, and the bastards called the police on me.
It's more like, "I bought a Lexus at full price & added a cell phone antenna & new fuel injectors to it, & the bastards called the police on me. iCommune didn't steal anything; they developed software which went against Apple's plan for iTunes. & broke a contract in doing so.
in case you didn't see the previous post above, i thought i'd restate that there IS a mechanism just like ip-d-up. it's a script called/etc/ppp/ip-up (and there's a corresponding/etc/ppp/ip-down). They probably don't already exist, but you can create them. I've got it chmod 700. My ip-up reads as follows (note that "sendmail" & "mailq" actually refer to my postfix executables):
#!/bin/sh
#send queued messages (really uses postfix)
Q=`/usr/local/sbin/mailq`
if [ "$Q" != "Mail queue is empty" ]; then
logger -t $0 sending queued messages /usr/local/sbin/sendmail -q
fi
I can dig arbitrarily deep in nested environments and run 'ls'.
I can achieve the same effect with just ONE shell command:
$ ssh localhost
I can even forward local ports to themselves & set any zlib compression level i like. & all communication between my nested levels is encrypted with my choice of protocols. Try that with cygwine! Plus my system remains completely free of proprietary MS library names!
The strange thing is that I just bought an iBook and it WON'T let you boot up the first time without entering your name, address and phone number.
If you hit Command-Q, you quit that part.
And if you enter like 'joe' 'blow' for your name, it makes the admin account 'joeblow'. (And I couldn't easily find out how to change it to something reasonable)
Um, you can just delete that text & type something else.
if your SACD player doesn't play anything but original SACD's (no SACD-R), then you won't be able to play your copy as an SACD
but your computer surely will be able to. SACD's quality is analogous to 24/96 PCM. even now you can get a soundcard capable of 24/96 playback for about $200, cheaper than a SACD player. & of course this will come down.
I think trees run out of gas when things pass a complexity threashold.
Trees run on gas? So, like, we need to burn oil to keep the trees running, to clean the atmosphere? Damn hippies keep saying fossil fuels are bad for the environment...

Um, no, Greek has a different alphabet entirely. Or were you kidding? In which case, yes.
If only i'd known i could flip my DATs over! Course that'd probably break the machine, since they've only got spindle holes on one side... ;)
"Wasted?" Is spending money on things you value a waste? Presumably you'd be buying songs you'll listen to, right?
Microsoft doesn't license technology, silly. They digest it.
Now i can use all my first year computer science programs from 1992! It's been a long time since my computer said, "hello world!"
I hope someone else was driving.
Nobody said they were. Chill.
Um, no, that equates to 16 years. This is FOUR billion, not one. Generally the economy picks up again sooner than 16 years.

That's available in all Cocoa apps, I believe. I can vouch for Chimera, Textedit, & Mail, having just tested them.
At Last! I've been weighting for thi's day.

Pardon the obviously stupid question, but why would you listen to a couple of mp3s at once?
If you hit Command-Q, you quit that part.

Not meaning to troll, but "irregardless" is not a word. You mean "regardless."
