| 18:39.18 | feutetejsd | did you guys see the screenshots of the next MS Office here: http://pdc.xbetas.com/?page=o12preview1 |
| 18:39.27 | feutetejsd | UI is very brushed metal-looking |
| 18:42.15 | wps | yeah… was looking at those earlier |
| 18:42.19 | wps | and it is getting more and more bloated |
| 18:42.29 | wps | why does MS insist on putting every feature into their apps? |
| 18:42.40 | feutetejsd | hehe |
| 18:42.41 | feutetejsd | amen |
| 18:42.52 | wps | a word processor should be a word processor… NOT A DESKTOP PUBLISHING APP!!! |
| 18:42.55 | feutetejsd | and you use that word "feature" loosely.... |
| 18:43.21 | wps | why can you view excel spreadsheets in word? |
| 18:43.25 | wps | why can you surf the internet in word? |
| 18:43.30 | wps | why can you check your email in word? |
| 18:43.33 | wps | it's rediciulous |
| 18:43.42 | feutetejsd | indeed |
| 18:43.52 | wps | I am surprised that MS even has apps anymore |
| 18:44.08 | feutetejsd | ya |
| 18:44.09 | wps | they should just wrap all their apps and their OS up into one big thing… they are already close |
| 18:49.01 | wps | what do you guys use for archiving and compression? |
| 18:49.09 | wps | Mac OSs built in ZIP? |
| 18:49.11 | wps | Stuffit? |
| 18:49.14 | feutetejsd | tar |
| 18:49.20 | feutetejsd | + gzip |
| 18:49.26 | wps | tar from command line or Stuffit's tar? |
| 18:49.39 | feutetejsd | cmd line...I don't remember the last time I used Stuffit, honestly |
| 18:49.48 | wps | I'm proud of you, feutetejsd |
| 18:49.58 | feutetejsd | :D |
| 18:50.01 | wps | what about when you need to send something to someone that doesn't understand tar? |
| 18:51.00 | feutetejsd | hehe...most people I work with are on Linux/Unix, so that's generally not a problem, but if it is, then I use cmd line zip. I don't know if it differs than creating an archive thru the finder, though. might just be the same thing |
| 18:52.50 | wps | cool |
| 19:13.47 | wps | man, I have been on the phone with Apple Customer Support since 10:00 |
| 19:13.49 | wps | :( |
| 19:14.11 | wps | my company never bothered to register their computers or their apple care, so nothing is in the system |
| 19:14.28 | wps | and if it is past 90 of purchase date, then you have to provide proof of purchase (receipt) |
| 19:14.46 | wps | so it's been a big headache getting all of the serials for the towers and displays and pairing everything up |
| 19:15.02 | feutetejsd | ick |
| 19:15.55 | feutetejsd | if it makes you feel any better, my company shipped me a powerbook with applecare, but the applecare didn't ship with it, and I didn't know that applecare shipped as an actual boxed product |
| 19:16.02 | wps | I hate it when people don't keep good records |
| 19:16.13 | feutetejsd | <PROTECTED> |
| 19:37.09 | wps | that bites |
| 19:37.41 | feutetejsd | yup. fortunately, it's not for anything mission-critical....just a slight nuisance in one corner of the LCD |
