How do they know he was an alcohol if it was a hit and run?

Lion/Mountain Lion with iCloud on school computers? by okboyin applehelp

[–]okboy[S] 0 points1 point ago

I guess primarily Windows, but I've heard the servers are Linux servers. That's all I know.

Is Romney advertising on the side of wind turbines now?

Lion/Mountain Lion with iCloud on school computers? by okboyin applehelp

[–]okboy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Thanks.

Regarding calendars and contacts, I don't mean that the school should use them exclusively. They will obviously have an LMS with school contacts and whatnot. I just think it would be awesome if I could sign on to a Mac at school and use iCal and Address Book as if I was at home. More importantly, Mountain Lion should bring tighter integration with iCloud, so goodbye USB sticks and uploading to iCloud.com.

Who fancies some GMOD tonight? Got a server, you guys get to decide how to run it! [Admins needed] by Captain_Biscuitin gmod

[–]okboy 1 point2 points ago

I'm thinking you found a credit card on the ground or are leeching off a company server or something.

LPT: clear your cookies when browsing for plane tickets (xpost /r/geek) by soy_en_fuegoin LifeProTips

[–]okboy 0 points1 point ago

It's well sourced. The screenshot is based off a presentation. That presentation was based off a screenshot. That screenshot came from a tweet. That tweet came from none other than @samsponian. That's like 5 layers of irrefutability.

After President Obama’s announcement, opposition to gay marriage hits record low by reddit4in obama

[–]okboy 14 points15 points ago

This is why leadership is important. It's not always about electing people who represent your opinions.

As much as I see maturity and strength in pragmatism and bipartisanship, eventually someone has to lead.

It's almost anti-democratic, but people have a hard time changing anything without someone at a pulpit in front of them.

Lion/Mountain Lion with iCloud on school computers? by okboyin applehelp

[–]okboy[S] 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure of the setup myself, but the computers certainly don't use their own hard drives for primary storage. Like I said, they use some kind of Novell login system that most certainly retrieves the user's home folder and preferences from a server on campus. However, it does a terrible job at it, as it never remembers your settings and asks gives you the same privacy warnings every time you do a search, even when you click "never fucking warn me again, ever".

Fedora vs. Ubuntu by Stosswalkinatorin linux4noobs

[–]okboy -2 points-1 points ago

Ubuntu - After trying numerous distributions over the years and all but giving up on Linux, Ubuntu was the distro that clicked. Spend some time with it, and you can use Mint, Chromium OS and Debian with less learning curve. I still use Ubuntu Server as my web server for several sites. And the desktop version seems to really be innovating (and borrowing, here and there).

We need this at Langara by okboyin langara

[–]okboy[S] 0 points1 point ago

I looked around that site for a while and couldn't find a concrete demonstration. One student told me that D2L is just as bad as Blackboard. I suspect it's more up-to-date, but is basically a clone in terms of design.

School Events by xsneakixin langara

[–]okboy 0 points1 point ago

Each semester there is a day called Clubs Day (which is like 2 hours long, really) where you can sign up for the mailing list of the clubs that set up a table. Then they are each responsible for letting you know about events. If I was the IT person I would try make a centralized list. Maybe I'll bring it up with them.

You can probably go to the LSU office and try get the contact email for each club organizer. Don't mind the grouchier reception person. ;)

Can I use this charger to charge my iPad? by longinatein applehelp

[–]okboy 1 point2 points ago

I don't think there will be a problem, but it might charge slower than through the adapter that came with it.

Is there any way to get the Downloads icon in the Dock to list things by date added instead of alphetically? by GruxKingin applehelp

[–]okboy 1 point2 points ago

Right-click it and choose what you want under "Sort By".

I tried using it and the iPad started to charge.

OK to run Synology with 1 drive till new one arrives? by okboyin synology

[–]okboy[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yes, I believe I'm in SHR. Just to clarify, how will the device know which drive (or files on it) I want to maintain? I guess I'll be prompted or it will guess via other data.

That's good to hear. Get in touch with me via private message if you want to chat or organize.

A friend of mine got annoyed with the docking station options available for the MBP. So he made his own. He's now trying to start his own company doing it and I told him I would post the pictures of it on Reddit and see if there was any interest. by robotevilin apple

[–]okboy 1 point2 points ago

I'd encourage you to get a product like this out there as soon as possible. Once you do, you've created an asset for your start-up, with an invention and income and a brand. After that, you can seek financing from investors to create the later models, or better yet, a Thunderbolt-only option.

Others have pointed out a Thunderbolt option, but none of them have USB 3.0, just 2.0. That could be a great differentiating factor to add.

Also, be careful how you implement the power adapter, as Apple has come down on people who recreate the mag-safe connector.

Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod says Romney's Mormon religion off limits by BlankVersein obama

[–]okboy 1 point2 points ago

Totally agreed, but I'd say the same about Moses, except we don't have his criminal record on hand today.

Funny, but there was a huge Vancouver protest a few years ago. There's a video of it. It was should-to-shoulder anons for at least a block.

Take that sarcasm to former Scientologist Gerry Armstrong, who protest with anon regularly. He's legally not allowed to talk about Scientology, which is probably why he fled to Canada. He's been harassed ever since by them.
