| 17:29.19 | feutetejsd | OK, so here's a question...when I burn a CD on my PowerBook by dropping files on the disc, it first acts as if it's copying all the files to the CD (same copy dialog that you get when you copy files from folder to folder in the finder), which takes a long time if I have hundreds of megabytes, and then when I burn it, it again takes a long time to burn the files....any idea what it's actually doing during that first "copy" step? |
| 17:30.30 | feutetejsd | when I burn on WIndows, I drop files on the disk in my burner software, and it just uses pointers to the actual files...it doesn't behave like it's copying files, so it's really zippy. Then the burn itself takes about as long as the actual burn on the PowerBook. In all, burning on Windows is twice as fast. What gives? |
| 17:36.11 | macnewbold | feutetejsd: it may be building an ISO image in the first shot, or a DMG |
| 17:36.52 | feutetejsd | hmmm....that's a good thought. Frankly, I wish it didn't, because it takes forever to burn, but you may be on to something there |
| 17:37.14 | feutetejsd | maybe I'll try another burner other than the built-in one with OS X |
| 17:39.01 | macnewbold | maybe if you try the Disk Utility, it will do it quicker? |
| 17:41.32 | feutetejsd | I've never used Disk utility to burn a CD....maybe I'll have to give it a go |
| 17:41.52 | macnewbold | it's pretty easy |
| 17:42.02 | macnewbold | it's the only way to burn .iso images, too |
| 17:42.14 | macnewbold | otherwise, it burns the .iso as a file on the disk, not hte disk itself |
| 17:42.48 | feutetejsd | yeah, I've used it to burn isos to disk, but never just burning files.... |
| 17:43.11 | macnewbold | hm, not sure how well it does with files. |
| 17:43.15 | macnewbold | never tried it :) |
| 18:10.18 | feutetejsd | actually, from what I can see, Disk Utility only lets you deal with images....I don't see a way to burn individual files |
| 18:10.32 | feutetejsd | man, I'm a whiner |
| 18:25.02 | macnewbold | if you want, you can use one of the activity monitors (or in terminal, top) to find out what's running during hte time it takes so long |
| 18:30.35 | feutetejsd | not a bad idea |
| 18:36.27 | feutetejsd | so, here's another question...I want to share a folder under my home directory with windows users on my network, but I don't want them to have to provide a username or password to get to them--I'm pretty unfamiliar with Windows file sharing with OSX...any suggestions on how to go about this? |
| 18:38.03 | wps | put it in your public folder and then have them connect as a guest |
| 18:38.40 | feutetejsd | how do I create a user with guest permissions? |
| 18:38.57 | wps | you don't have to create any users |
| 18:39.07 | wps | they just connect as a guest (meaning, not as a user) |
| 18:40.02 | feutetejsd | ummmm...on my Wintendo machine, when I try to connect, I don't get an option to connect as a guest...I get prompted for username and password to connect, and that's it |
| 18:40.50 | wps | hold please |
| 18:40.55 | feutetejsd | holding.... |
| 18:45.25 | wps | hmm... that's gay |
| 18:45.30 | wps | you're right, it doesn't give you that option |
| 18:45.39 | feutetejsd | nice, eh? |
| 18:46.02 | feutetejsd | brb |
| 18:46.58 | wps | the only solution I can think of then off the top of my head would be to use SMB |
| 18:47.36 | wps | by setting up a SMB share in /etc/smb.conf you can specify a specific volume or directory that has read write access from anyone |
| 18:52.23 | macnewbold | SMB is the windows file sharing option that's in OSX |
| 19:10.12 | feutetejsd | yeah, I was looking into that before I posted...mebbe I'll give that a whirl |
| 19:52.45 | feutetejsd | anybody know how to get iTunes to fetch album artwork for CDs? |
| 20:54.54 | wps | Apple sued over "Tiger" trademark |
| 20:54.54 | wps | http://www.macosxrumors.com/articles/2005/04/28/apple-sued-over-tiger-trademark/ |
| 20:55.01 | wps | "The company, which sells computer hardware and software, has requested an injunction that may prevent tomorrow’s Mac OS X Tiger launch." |
| 20:57.21 | feutetejsd | in other news, the University of Texas is planning to sue Microsoft for use of the code name "Longhorn" for their upcoming release of Microsoft Windows, slated to be released in the year 2025 |
| 20:57.55 | feutetejsd | ...and there was much rejoicing... |
| 20:58.18 | wps | exactly |
| 20:58.19 | wps | sheesh |
