You are the Troll, oh Troll. Those site sell vaporware. System Ten has zero (0) virii. Why do not you, oh Troll, stop posting incorrect infomation, you damned loser?
I hate to tell you; but unfortunately however, MacIntoshes are not the right computers for recruiting homosexual paedophiles:
The perfect computer for your lifestyle is the WinTel. MicroSoft.Com has been anally raping its users (WinTelLusers) up the butt with its total lack of security for years. If you want to screw a little boy, I recommend letting him use a WinTel -- I guaranty a virus or worm will screw up the WinTel in no time.
People have tried for three years -- withot success -- to create virii for System Ten. None have succeeded:
Apple.Com decided in the late 1990s to make the new OS secure. MicroSoft.Com contrarily in the late 1990s, when creating an a new OS, did not give a rat's ass about security.
The results of these policies are plain to see:
No virii can after three years attack System Ten; while, XP is riddled with thousands of Virii after only two years.
MacIntoshes are immune to all worms and virii. It is impossible to create virii for System Ten. One can buy a new iBook for less than 1k$. These stupid WinTelLusers have none to blame but themselves for buying crap.
On the other hand you could point out that PDF has been around for ten years and grown explosively, but hasn't replaced printed media yet.
Why would PDF replace anything? It is useless! The best one can do is extract the text and put it into plain text. PDF is terrible for screenreading. The formating is all predetermined. The text
_"*NEVER*"_
to the size of the window. If the text is an inconvient size -- tough.
XHTML on the other hand is prefect for screenreading. Allow me to illustrate:
Let us suppose that your friend in another country wrote a book and wants you to read it. Would your friend to email it to you as PDF or XHTML?
Obviously, the diamond industry has reason to worry if the fakes are indistinguishable, but I'm not sure what you're talking about a "cult-like anti-scientific religion," that is just silly.
Cultured Diamonds Are Real!
Cultured diamonds are real diamonds. These are not cut glass or cubic zirconium. This is not like remaming USB v1.1 USB v2.0. This is not even calling a movie full screen instead if mutilated by truncation. Cultured diamonds are just as real as natural diamonds; indeed, since some culturing processes generate diamonds with fewer imperfections and impurities than natural diamonds, some cultured diamonds are superior to natural diamonds. Only someone from DeBeers would try to argue that cultured diamonds are fake.
I can read faster than Text-To-Speech for short periods. For whole books, TTS is faster. Can you out-read TTS for whole books? I wish my eyes would let me do that. Maybe I could when I was a teenager
?
Still, I wish that TTS could read @1KSyllable/Minute so that I could read more books in less time. the books at
Project Gutenberg
call to me. I wish to read them all in my lifetime.
It is GMT, the time of the world. Personally I set all of my clocks to 24 hour mode in GMT anyway. I would like to measure time as a 64-bit binary complex integer (a + b[root]-1) representing the number of seconds since the Gregorian date 1970-01-01T00:00:00 with the clock translating the complex integer into units more familiar to humans.
I have about three books I am reading from gutenberg now, and it seems as though i am never going to make it through them... I find that it is hard to find your place if you have to get up and get a cup of coffee.
I understand.
When you set it to read, can you pause it and come back?
You must understand that what I wrote was a wish-list. This is what Text-To-Speech can do now:
You must understand that TTS originally, in the late 1980s, could only read 32KB plain-text documents (32KB documents were not much of a limitation because MacIntoshes of the era only had 1MB of ram). Since documents were so small, speed and the ability to resume were not very important.
Now, TTS can handle documents in the gigabytes, but unfortunately however, it is still slow and after pausing, restarts at the beginning. TTS still reads faster than people can; so it is good for Project Gutenberg. One simply must know where one stops it so that one can manually restart it from there by selecting all of the unread text and having it read it. This way, you can read your books faster than you can with your eyes.
Although TTS reads faster than people can read, it does not read as fast as people can listen. If TTS could read at one thousand syllables per minute and resume where paused it would be so much better -- this is my wish-list. TTS could read an entire book from Project Gutenberg in less than an hour instead of over four hours, as it does now.
Doesn't it loose focus of what it is reading, say if you change the window in the foreground?
You can play with the windows all you want. TTS keeps reading. The one thing you cannot do is auto-resume after pausing. I suggest listening for a new chapter before stopping. You will have to find this in the text, select all unread text, and have your mac read selected text.
I can't wait to get to work and try it! Again, thanks for the idea.
ÂEnjoy!
ÂAlthough it reads faster than you can read, would it not be better, if it could read many times faster?;)
I would rather make the voices faster than more natural. Allow me to clarify:
In order to get more done in less time, my MacIntosh reads articles while I use my eyes and hands for other tasks such as creating emails. Once a week on Saturday, between noon and midnight, I make the time to read books. Since my mac reads faster than I do, I find it more efficient to let it read books from Project Gutenberg, than to eye-read the books (I lie in a dark room with my eyes closed listening to my mac read the books.
I
_"*KNOW*"_
I could get more work done and books read if my mac could just read faster than its maximum possible setting in System Preferences. I wish I could set it to read at 1 kilosyllable/minute.
Yes, one thousand syllables per minute. This is not a joke. I could accomplish so much more. Let me just use the example of book-reading:
The average book has about sixty thousand syllables. ÂText-To-Speech could finish an hour! ÂTTS takes hours to finish a book now! ÂWhat an improvement!
HTML is a derivitave of SGML, XML is a derivative of HTML, XHTML is a reformulation of HTML to make it fit the rules of XML
Firstly, came SGML. From SGML, came HTML. Seperately from SGML, came XML. Both HTML and XML are subsets of SGML. HTML and XML are *not* subsets of the other. XHTML is a dirivative og HTML made complient with XML. I shall draw a graph:

With any version of MacOS, one just drags the icon for the application to the Trash and delete it. This works because of the MacOS stores data on HFS (Hierarchical File-System), HFS+ (Hierarchical File-System Plus), and HFS+J (Hierarchical File-System Plus Journaled):
Classic MacOS puts all of the data for an application into two forks:
Datafork
Resourcefork
What these forks do does not matter for our purposes. All we need to know is that the two forks are tarred together. One simply throws away the application-file.
In System Ten, for reasons of compatiblity, with other Unices, Applications are folders, which, in standard view, look like files. One simply puts the object into the trash and empty it.
/Users/~/Library/Preferences/Application-Name.plis t
Preferences are always small files in an XML-language called PLIST. Application support is full of usually small files such as MBOX, Bookmarks, er cetera. The only folder which might fold large ammounts of data is Caches; but luckily however, that gets dumped weekly anyway. Drag-deleting an Application in MacOS only leave a single-digit number of kilobyes of data in Preferences and Application Support.
The reverse of uninstalling in MacOS is just as easy:
For installing, one simply drops the application into:
/Users/~/Applications/
If one is an Administrative User, one can alternatively drop them into:
