Xemu writes ‘Computer’s don’t make children fat, but watching TV for the same length of time does. This is shown by a recent Swedish study of all school children in Lund’s county conducted by RN Pernilla Garmy. The results were clear: The child’s obesity was directly affected by placing a TV in the child’s room, but placing a computer in the room had no effect at all. One theory is that it’s common to have a snack in front of the TV, while a computer requires a more active user, for example when chatting or playing games.’ (View the rest of the article at Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don’t) (See Ma, I was right!) If you’re buying your first HDTV or an upgrade from a starter set, your new television may deliver a better picture than the one you’re used to. But picking the right HDTV can be confusing, especially when your favorite blue-shirted salesperson may be steering you in a certain direction in hopes of a bigger commission. Or maybe the rep is just misinformed. Whatever the reasons, the environment has encouraged a cavalcade of claims about HDTVs—some of which were true for first-generation sets but have little relevance to today’s buyers, some of remain valid, and some of which were never true. via Fact or fiction? 8 HDTV claims demystified | HDTV | Playlist – Page 1 | Macworld. Microsoft has released updates for Office 2004 and 2008, which include security fixes for “vulnerabilities that an attacker can use to overwrite the contents of your computer’s memory with malicious code.” The Microsoft Office 2004 11.5.8 update is a mere 9.7 MB, and the Microsoft Office 2008 12.2.4 update is 221.5 MB. If you use Office, it’s a good idea to keep up with these updates, as they not only provide security fixes, but also improve performance and stability. If you haven’t kept up with Office updates, you cannot, unfortunately, apply the latest update without applying previous updates. (Microsoft does not make any combo updates like Apple does.) So you can find previous updaters for your software on this page. Apple Mail, especially earlier versions of Apple Mail, may start to slow down after a long period of time… Evidently as everyone knows, it is possible to get quite a speed boost out of Mail.app by stripping all the bloat out of its Envelope index, an SQLite database Mail uses to store senders, recipients, subjects and so on. What’s the easiest way to do this? - Quit Mail.
- Open Terminal.
- Type the following:
cd ~/Library/Mail
sqlite3 Envelope\ Index
An sqlite> prompt will appear.
At that prompt, type vacuum subjects;
After a short delay, the prompt will return. Type Control-D to exit. - Restart Mail and enjoy the extra speed.
Does it work? The first time he tried this, Rob Griffiths of macOSXHints reduced his Envelope index from 25.9MB to 4.5MB. Okay, so that’s not the easiest way… Instead download Sebastian Morsch has written a script that quits Mail, runs the sqlite commands and then relaunches Mail at the end of the process. You can get the script from his web site. I’ve tried everything I know and searched everywhere, but I can’t find an answer to this problem. Several of my clients have this issue and now I have it, after adding two new accounts to Mail – both of the new accounts are effected, but the older ones work fine. Mail picks up email and filters out spam just fine. The problem is with emails I have either deleted or flagged as spam. Mail doesn’t remove them from the server even though I have my preferences set to delete them “Right Away” Then the next time Mail pickup email, it picks those same messages up as “unread.” No matter how many times I delete them, they keep coming back as “unread” messages. If I manually delete them, using the “Remove Now” button in preferences, that solves the problem. I have repeatedly rebuilt these mailboxes since creating the accounts a few weeks ago, but I keep having the same problem. The server recognizes them as “read” becasue I can delete them manually, but apparently Mail thinks they are unread.
If Mail.app starts behaving weirdly, you could try deleting all the preference files and starting from scratch … note that doing this will delete all e-mail account settings, so it’s a good idea to write down all the relevant details first: WARNING: This is the “so-called” Nuclear Option, for reseting your mail, keep reading first… - Quit out of Mail.app
- Backup up your mail & preferences
- Backup com.apple.mail.* from your Library/Preferences folder
- Backup ~/Library/Mail
- Delete the com.apple.mail.plist file (it’s in your user accounts’ Library/Preferences folder)
- Delete the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file (it will be in your user accounts’ Library/Mail/POP-user@mail.internode.on.netfolder)
- Open Mail.app and run through the setup wizard again
- Import all of the mailboxes back in to Mail.app
It’s a relatively complex procedure, but it’s helped me out once or twice when everything’s gone haywire. The above process is fairly radical and effectively forces you to recreate your mail setup, if it’s a minor issue, it maybe better to address the issue directly. Try, Quiting Mail, and just deleting your MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file, but make sure that you have a complete backup. There have been reports that it resolves the issue easily, and simply. For example, it is not possible to return to the past without changing the past in some way; nor is it possible to change the future based on information from the future. Doctor Who realized early on that changes to history were hazardous, and avoided them assiduously. Movies built on a time travel theme frequently become dissatisfying when the thread of time is closely examined. In Millennium, once the era in which the time machine exists is destroyed, aren’t all of those rescued survivors returned to their own times? In The Twelve Monkeys, doesn’t it appear that the disaster which the main character was to prevent would not have happened had he not interfered? In Timecop, would any of that have happened had it not happened? Even the venerable StarTrek has created numerous anomalies which it has failed to resolve. Pasts which are dependent upon futures dependent upon those pasts should make us cringe. However, from time to time something works. This web page will attempt to examine some of the best examples of these, beginning with Temporal Anomalies in Popular Time Travel Movies. Yes, it’s safe for work…. Note the street sign… Folks, Here’s some deals from Amazon.com: Star Trek Online for $27.99…. The Collector’s edition is also available at $47.99, that’s another price low, this time by $25. I haven’t played, but friends keep trying to get me to play…. That has to count for something, right? |
