Rich �October 20, 2008 Not long ago, if you were to ask PC users what they thought about Apple Macs, you'd probably get one of two responses: Either they'd say, "Oh, those are the computers used by college students," or you'd hear, "Aren't Macs used only by creative types, like artists and musicians?" What today's�business�people and�entrepreneurs�are quickly beginning to understand is that Apple's iMacs (desktop computers) and MacBooks (notebook computers) can not only handle virtually every business application a PC can handle, but also provide a more stress-free computing experience. Today's Macs are more intuitive and stable than PCs running Windows Vista or XP, and they can even run Windows applications. Mac users also worry less while surfing the web, since the Mac OS X operating system is not susceptible to spyware or viruses. Another benefit is Apple's technical support (for those who pay for the optional AppleCare program), which feature unlimited in person or telephone support from Mac experts who speak in layman's terms and are knowledgeable about the products. Apple has virtually eliminated long hold times for telephone support and welcomes users to receive in-person support or repairs at any Apple St...

The Right Tool For the Job
relf-- you criticize scripting and claim you 'need c++' yet from what little you described of your app, it sounds like it could be done more efficiently with Excel macros. at least, i use c# out of necessity -- because it works in my environment. i'm not one of those phonies, who makes a mountain out of a molehill -- just to justify his technology. Hi Baiiiiilo , You say : " From what little you described of your app , it sounds like it could be done more efficiently with Excel macros . " Really ? Why don't you try C++ sometime ? Her...

What are the right tools for the job?
Yes, it's a tired old question, but I have to ask. <g> I'm likely to be starting out on a long-term development shortly. By long-term, I mean about 12 months to get a base product and then a further 12 months to build to enterprise level functionality. And then most of my remaining life adding features and growing fat (well, fatter) on the profits. <g> I have in mind a number of tools, pretty much all of which are FOSS (not being tight, just choosing what I like), and I wanted to hear if anybody had a big "yea" or a big "nay" for any of them. The...

The right tool for the job
I have a production system with "i" stages (i is a small number, 5 or 6 tops) At each moment in time there are N(i) items in progress at stage i. Lets say I sample the number of items in progress at each stage once each day; so I have i time series which collectively show the state of my production system (in terms of number of items in progress at each stage) over a range of days. Now I want to create a graph which plots each of the i time series against a common "x" (time) axis simultaneously. Well, I _could_ put the data onto an Excel sheet and use E...

Is OpenGL the right tool for this job?
Hi all, I'm about to start coding an application where I want to visualise some engineering data in 3D. I've never used OpenGL before, but from the reading I've done I think OpenGL is a good tool to allow me to achieve what I want, but I'd like a second oppinion so I don't spend ages trying to achieve the impossible! I want to display a 3D waterfall graph rather like the one shown here: http://www.ced.co.uk/sp3pic2u.htm But I want to plot this graph in color so that as a peak gets higher its color changes. I then want to be able to rotate the graph and be able to zoo...

php is right tool for job?
Hi, I've been playing with php5 with Smarty templates and mySQL4 and PEAR DB for e-commerce. This combination seems to work very well but I was wondering what other other combination of programming tools would be good. JSP, ASP, C#? I don't know about those languages or how they compare to php. Any thoughts? Thanks, Peter <petermichaux@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:1117164087.487729.200330@z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com... > Hi, > > I've been playing with php5 with Smarty templates and mySQL4 and PEAR > DB for e-commerce.

Right tool for the job
greets all, As I get more and more into compositing, I become more an more curious as to how certain effects are achieved in compositing. Creating models (or images) in LW (or Photoshop), it's seems easy enough to, say, have a person standing on a floor (modeled image) with surrounding walls and features (created images or models). But my question is, what do you do when you want to composite an animated character or object into the scene which can move around or interact with the real character (shot against blue/green screen)? As an example, the way the 'Halt Droid' moves aro...

The Right Tool
There is an interesting poll that seeks to rank programming languages across many dimensions at http://therighttool.hammerprinciple.com/ and I encourage the comp.lang.forth community to visit it and take part in the survey. Of course, fanboys and those of you who don't understand that the poll isn't about what the "best" language is will artificially push Forth up in the rankings. But rest assured that others will do the same for their favorite language, hopefully canceling each other out. The poll is interesting (well, to me at least) because it asks to rank the languages...

what does SHIFT-left-or-right of up-down-left-right do?
Well, I know about shift up-and-down: shift-right ("red" or whatever) up and down on choose-box, HIST, things like that, take the cursor all the way to the beginning or the end. shift-left ("white") on up and down scroll the screen-full up or down (the FIRST such click *stupidly* goes to the final CURRENTLY-ON-SCREEN choice or whatever (meaning TWO double-button-pushes to scroll-down that FIRST time.) What are some of the OTHER possibilities, ie with the left and right arrows? Oh, apparantely undocumented, I've found (via mistaken key-pushes) that RIGHT-arrow will do a SWAP (on stack), and that an UP-arrow gets you into HIST (that HIST is *one nice feature*!) Other tricks with those arrows? Thanks!

The right criticisms for the right OS (and/or its users)
I'm sure everyone will agree that Windows 7 flat-out rocks. No? Well, get a life, then. But yeah, Vista was the Windows Me of NT- based OSes, and now they're quickly putting XP out to pasture, when it's still the most widely used OS, and those are fair criticisms of Microsoft. (Then again, in Vista's case, they would have at some point had to release it - and it never would've gotten good enough until after it was released. That's unfortunately part of the game they were playing, but it was worth it to get past the initial rewrite, and achieve Win7. The NT/2000/XP ...

Z1300 Update: InkStop Does Right, but Are They Right?
Well, I hauled the nonfunctioning Lexmark 34/35 "compatibles" back to InkStop this afternoon. Guess Kid Behind the Counter from Saturday must be back in school. His BIg Sister, who sold me the original pair, was back. Only today she was accompanied by Gramps, who I guess runs the place. Both of them repeated Kid's suggestion that I trade in their cartridges for a pair of OEMs, but to their credit and their company's, they didn't hesitate to refund my money when I told them I'd already bought OEMs elsewhere. Anyway, Gramps says they get around 4 per cent ...
