Did you open the image in Preview? If so then you "Opened" the picture. No different than opening something in Photoshop and not being able to scroll through photos in the same directory.
So you can either Select All and open in preview, then tab through them OR hit spacebar to pop up the 'quick view' dialog and scroll through everything that way (doesn't just do images).
What gets me is than in Windows 7 you STILL can't open a folder in the trash. Mac has had this since I started using it in 1994 and I think Gnome does too.
Drag folder to trash. Realize you need one file out of that folder. In Windows 7 double clicking on the folder only brings up useless information such as "when you deleted this" and "where was this folder originally". OPEN THE ()@# FOLDER.
I have Chrome, Thunderbird, my MP3 player and DropBox on TrueCrypt partitions.
Computer is PowerCycled and it's "gone". Since speed isn't a huge factor I went paranoid and went with AES-Twofish-Serpent. Good luck recovering my stuff.
I use DreamHost for my mail/webserver. They're not 5-9s but they're cheap and still seem like they are a "small company". Plus they wrote Ceph, (distributed/scalable file system, which merged into 2.6.34.)
I'm sure you could write cron script or something to run on the shell to do what you're talking.
2005: I would start with Ruby, then most people would never need to learn another language. A small minority would want to learn C, but those would be specialists. 2002: I would start with PHP, then most people would never need to learn another language. A small minority would want to learn C, but those would be specialists. 1999: I would start with Perl, then most people would never need to learn another language. A small minority would want to learn C, but those would be specialists.
I graduated high school in 2001. Our high school keyboarding class was taught on IBM PS/2 that booted from a floppy disk. Each day we had to print out the 'intro' sentence 10 times. Given that the computers were so old the teacher thought they lacked 'copy and paste' since there wasn't a mouse. I learned very quickly what the F keys did.
We were also taught how to center text on a page by counting the number of characters and doing the math. (Another F key available function). I had been typing since 5th grade, this class was a joke, however.
I don't think that Excel, Word, PowerPoint or their OO equivalents are 'boring'. There are a whole hell of a lot of engineers that have no clue how to use them properly. At least where I went to college MOST kids learned very quickly (through a horrible grade) through lab reports how stuff should be formatted. There is no reason that this couldn't be taught in high school.
Care to point out which ones are "hard to upgrade"? My Macbook Pro couldn't be easier to upgrade a HD or RAM in. The G5s up through the MacPros seem to be as simple of an upgrade path as you can get. Everything more or less slides out, no screws, nothing.
The original Minis were difficult, but that probably came from cramming that amount of material into the form factor. Newer iMacs and Minis are just a twist off cover to upgrade RAM.
We have a Yokogawa DL-750 at work. Thermocouples, Strain input, Voltage. Up to 1 Ghz sampling rate (on 1 channel). 40GB HD. Should be just under $40k:).
Spark fun has quite a few inexpensive ones. They probably have everything else you need for your hardware projects too. Looks like it's a signal generator too. Or for 'on the go' stuff, this pocket one at SparkFun looks good.
"Blockbusters" will always be the equivalent of fast food. Made as cheap as possible, trying to be flashy to get as many people in and out the door.
If you want stuff with a story, you're going to have to find stuff that was either limited release or maybe didn't even make it to the states. Look at what has won Sundance or Cannes, usually movies with good stories and not enough $$ for big effects.
Apple trailers usually has trailers for independent films as well.
You may have to resort to "piracy" to find some of it too. On a whim I grabbed and watched The Man from Earth. it was everything Hollywood was not. A story, thought provoking, almost everything was shot in a single house, NO Fx.
I tried Nexenta but the userland tools seemed to be VERY lacking. Plus I run my OS box as a dom0 for Windows 7, XP, 2k and Debian.
But OS is starting to get a bit long in the tooth now that Oracle doesn't know what to do with it. But that was nearly a year ago. Maybe things have developed since then.
Debian just must have everything nearly magically automated because almost every arch I've run it on has every tool available.
So they asked you WHAT you were working on, but they didn't know specifics.
They took this guy aside and asked him directed questions about Wikileaks.
I'd also like to know where you flew into. Only people at customs seemed to be over weight cops that couldn't do a single thing. India, now that's a country that has airports run efficiently. And they have military that looks like they could actually do something.
It got me to switch. And every single person that I've talked to about it has.
I'm not talking about the companies that just USE Linux internally. I'm talking about the companies that sell something linux.
Tivo for example (The reason for GPLv3) there are companies that may want to pick up and run with something Linux based but are afraid about what might happen if they build a product around it. So they scrap the whole idea.
Vs a BSD license that Apple's created OS X around, companies have built specialty FreeBSD distros for their high end routers, the company that took over FreeNAS uses it as the basis of their OS for the hardware they sell.
I understand why, but there are a ton of people out there that think OSS is OSS. You wonder why corporations are weary of OSS it's because of this. I really hope this project goes somewhere or Debian's kFreeBSD project works as well as I'm hoping.
Reminds me of this joke: I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a software developer standing on the edge, about to jump off. I immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well... do you develop Closed Source or Open?"
"Open."
"Me too! Are you BSD or GPL?"
"GPL."
"Me too! Are you GPL v2 or GPL v3?"
"GPL v3!"
To which I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.
Not everyone gets detained and asked about Wikileaks.
I've been randomly searched, but I've never been pulled aside and asked about something I've actually been working on. This guy has been flagged in the system.
Could you get the IT guys to fix the massive error when entering passwords?
My password is at the limit for the discover card website, which I think was 10 or 12 letters, so my discover password is: abcdefghijkl.
Now if I go to the virtual credit card login, which is the flash based entry as long as I start off with abcdefghijkl, it doesn't matter what I enter after that: abcdefghijkl938498719823 and it still lets me in.

I know Theater isn't the only Liberal arts majors, it was an example. Here is a list of LA majors from where I went to school. Yes there are some that are in there that may be useful. First off, anything "* Studies" is BS. What in the hell are you going to do with a MAJOR (not classes) but an entire major in African-American, Jewish, American, Asian, Classical, Women's Studies?
I read both essays. I really still don't get it. The first one reads like a LA major swinging a bat blindly at "ignorant rants".
"A liberal education should transform the student. As Brand Blanshard says, "to educate human mind is not merely to add something to it. It is to transform it at a vital point, the point where its secret ends reside." - Ok... so what is it transformed into? You're now able to quote Plato and write long essays that make you sound pompous, how is that going to help you when you ask if I want fries with that?
"A liberally educated individual thinks critically, writes clearly, and speaks effectively whether considering mathematical problem, a scientific theory, a political argument, or a musical composition."
Which goes back to my statement that I don't think LA should go away. Liberal arts are great for that. Engineers should be forced to take LA classes. Someone should NOT spend 4 years of their life in "Women's Studies" to enter the world in debt and no more a use to society than before.
As Bad Santa said, "Wish in one hand and shit in the other, see which fills up first." You sit around and think of enlightenment, I'll be a productive member of society. Lets see who gets hired first.
Once again. Liberal Arts = Great for a society. Great for individuals. Liberals Arts Majors = Not worth $50k.

How long until Boston locks down because of a terrorist attack.

GNU/kFreeBSD was supposed to be released with Squeeze. Nexenta is nice, but the package repository is severely limited.
ZFS, Jails, OpenBSD packet filtering. Oh My!
Even DebianMultimedia project already has kFreeBSD repositories available.
Um. I'm dead, I'm no sure if broken knees are going to extract the password from my brain.

Or made like LEGO Blocks. Need a quad core CPU? Go buy one and snap it onto your others.
I meant The Union: The Business Behind Getting High. I think 420 is one that hasn't been released yet.

Here's a generic one for $65
Even the most basic ones at Tektronix start out at over $3k (that I was finding).
But it all depends on what you want to do also. Some small microcontroller stuff or trouble shooting complex circuits.
"Blockbusters" will always be the equivalent of fast food. Made as cheap as possible, trying to be flashy to get as many people in and out the door.

The guy that made it even thanked pirates for raising his movie's profile.. I sent the guy $20 over paypal and I know that there wasn't any hollywood accounting keeping it from him either.
Heck, not all Documentaries are super politically slanted or as boring as the stuff you sat through in grade school. 420 The Movie and Bigger Stronger Faster, Food, Inc, and The Corporation were all entertaining AND thought provoking.

Discover also has them, although they're not as cool as CitiBank's.
No end date, no limit and the expiration is the same as your normal credit card.
The ONE advantage they have over Citi is that the number generated doesn't have any spaces in it so it's a straight copy paste job.
I went through the trouble of making 2 shortcuts so I don't have to sign in through the website just to launch a separate window:
CitiCards:
javascript:window.open('https://www.accountonline.com/Athena/PageServlet/thinclient.prod.xsl?loginlib=loginlib&issuerid=1&brand=Citi',"_blank","resizable","scrollbars=no");void 0
Discover:
javascript:window.open('https://deskshop.discovercard.com/thincard/thinclient.html',%22_blank%22,%22resizable,scrollbars=no%22);void%200
It go fast.
