Agreed. X Lossless Decoder is fantastic for encoding audio. I use it frequently for reencoding FLACs as ALAC for iTunes and iPods. Build in metadata searching and options abound.

Perian doesn't work for everything sadly, notably performing rather poorly when scrubbing through video for me. Plus you're limited by the limited features of QuickTime X. I've also had bad luck with subtitles and secondary languages in MKVs as of late.

It can maintain a fully bootable backup, meaning if your hard drive dies you can boot off of the drive and get back to work in 3 minutes. As opposed to Time Machine's incremental file backups, which require you to boot into the restore utility and wait many hours as it copies its entire contents to a new drive (I…

My Junior-Senior English teacher would accept friend requests from students regularly. His profile pic was a picture of him at a party wearing a shirt saying "WANTED: Meaningful Overnight Relationship".

Teachers and administrators use it to arrange and remind students about events, ask questions about grades, or otherwise communicate with their students. Think of it as an alternative to email, but one that a high school student checks multiple times a day instead of monthly. It's a lot easier to get those report…

That line was as spur of the moment as "One small step for man…". That, or on the chopper ride to meet Obama: "Fuck what's something awesome to say before you kill someone?" "You ever see James Bond, with all that 'Queen and country' shit?" "Yeah, that's friggen sick!" high fives abound

Isn't everything?

You can crack almost any Windows password in about a minute with HirensBootCD. You can use the official Apple password reset utility on the OS X install disc for MacBooks.

Sell it and buy an iPad. One of the best decisions I've made.

Remove SleepEnabler from /Extra/Extensions or /System/Library/Extensions (it might be in either) and try again.

A good resource is Kexts.com. Get the exact model of your card (Windows, manufacturer site, shipping label, etc.) and give it a whirl. If it doesn't work in /E/E/ try /S/L/E/, but it's best to avoid messing around in there. After each attempt run myFix, a command line utility that'll rebuild kext caches and repair…

I wish you had to hold down Option or something to resize from any edge. I don't like those resize arrows popping all the time.

100MB, because I'm a cheap, bitter, lonely asshole living in an AT&T 3G deadzone (read: deadcounty).

I wouldn't call it a track of my movements. I had several "locations" saved in Wisconson, Alabama, and Washington, when in reality I haven't been within 300 miles of those places ever, let alone with my iPhone.

It was a clean install.

Dock Indicator Lights are in fact enabled by default in the release version of Lion, in contrast to the DPs.

If I may recommend an alternative to Kakewalk and xMove, called myHack. I've relied on myHack for years to get OS X running on my Dell and have found it invaluable.

Not currently. Apple will sell a USB drive containing Lion in August for $70, but until then, there's OS X Lion Recovery [www.apple.com]

Never really advertised as an innovation, but nevertheless it was the first general use consumer OS distributed only as a digital download. I highly doubt any Linux distro was downloaded over a million times in its first day. Apple moved 3.4 petabytes of data in 24 hours. [www.tuaw.com]

Apologies if I came across as rude, but it was rather intended. The phrasing of your original comment made it sound as if you'd only every heard people talking about hackintoshing Tiger onto an AMD system in 2006.
