Why not use Handbrake to rip it to a file? I've never had the 'region'
requestor come up after I've dismissed it when using Handbrake.

Wow, jeez. Why not just go into the directory and delete the cache
files?? Or, better yet, use a FREE app like Onyx??

You know, Randy, just thought about it. The longer time goes on and we
get 'Windows-switchers', the more likely the money-grabbing software
houses will follow, doing things for money that we've had 'por nada' all
along.
What a shame.

Actually, that is happening more and more. There are now a bunch of
commercial anti-virus software products for the Mac from previously
Windows-only companies. I'm sure that recent switchers are
acquainted with these brand names and I'm sure that some of them rush
out to purchase their AV products. But I wouldn't install a single
one of them on my Mac if you gave it to me for free.

I understand this. I have been acquainted with your work for years, and
I admire it and you. The situation is that now we have a whole new user
base, with a different and totally foreign ideaology. How to deal with
it? It is so succumbing that it will probably overtake the 'normal' way
of thinking in the Mac world.
I'd hate to see that. That is the beauty of Mac, whether it was System
7 or OS X. We had it. The unfortunate part is that people acquainted
with Windows will NOT lose their way of thinking. It is inbred within
them. I feel as if we're pi**ing in the wind.

What frustrates me the most is the influx of computer consultants
from the Windows world who don't know The Mac Way of doing things,
and they insist on telling Mac users that they have to do things The
Windows Way.
As an example, on an Attorney/Mac discussion list that I'm on, one
consultant told everyone that they should limit the number of
applications that they put on their Mac to three or four, and then
never add any more, because more apps might cause instability.
I almost spit out an internal organ over this. Even before the
advent of OS X, with its protected memory for apps, this wouldn't
have been good advice. One of the nicest things about the Mac is
that you can try new software with abandon, and it won't screw things
up, slow things down, or be hard to uninstall.
It's hard to protect switchers and new users from believing bad
advice from these Windows rejects.

In the Peanuts comic strip, one character once commented to another that it was going to take Linus 12 years just to UNlearn every wrong thing that Lucy was teaching him.

Re: OS X Mountain Lion to be download-only, USB stick going the way

Thought it might be satellite. In your travels you come no closer than 200 miles of an Apple Store? Have you thought of finding a cyber cafe to do the download, where you might be able to plug in? Or a public WiFi hotspot like a library?
And no one says that you have to install the updates the day they come out. Sounds like one of the compromises you made when you decided to go on the road. If you want it that bad, find a way to get it.
Mountain Lion is not available other than in developer beta form, unless you are talking about updates to 10.7. If you don't have a fast internet connection, you don't want to be an early adopter of a new OS, anyway.

Good to hear they haven't disabled sneakerware.
And I like the legal review in the prior post.

How to move data from PDF to Numbers?
Posted by: "N.A. Nada" whodo678@comcast.net
Sun Feb 26, 2012 12:30 am (PST)
I would like to know a way to move data from a PDF to Numbers. It is my data from my phone bill, no plagiarism or copyright infringement involved.
I do not want to buy Adobe Acrobat or Excel. I can reboot into 10.6 to use Excel, but I still don't want to buy Acrobat. Is there another way to do this?
