RAM is still very expensive compared to HD space (per GB). I can see someone creating a computer that uses RAM instead of a HD for primary functions, but as long as OSes keep bloa…

i'm thinking the intel laptops, probably not the first rev, but certainly by the 3rd will have 20 - 40gb flash HDs... nanostyle. i don't know about this ramdrive though. ram is c…

Sigh, I can remember when I could boot off a RAM disk. I had to pare down the system a bit, but did it ever fly. Flash is making strides, but it can never replace our current magn…

what bug did this new update fix? i havent had a single problem with my shuffle as of yet and i've had mine since day 9 of its annoucement.

I'm hoping it fixes the "external drive" bug... If you store your music on an external drive, and plug a shuffle in when the external drive is not connected, it erases everything …

Some music from itunes would not play on the shuffle , caused it to lock up. I think this has fixed it

I hope the popping problem was fixed. Whenever I play a long AAC Bookmarkable file it will start popping and have 10+ second delays in pausing or changing volume. Very annoying.

Did the Shuffle have Sound Check before?

i have the same problem. Hope it is being fixed with the current update.

yeha, i had lot's of problems with my shuffle. ( i returned it a week later ) what happened was, after i pressed play, it would only play about 4 or 5 songs and it wouldn't play an…

Up until now, I've been pretty happy maintaining two directories for my website locally (/images/ and /thumbnails/). AppleScript has made the process even easier for batch-process …

I've got a slightly different version of that scheme deployed on one site, which uses GD to resize a photo on upload and generate a thumbnail that's stored elsewhere. (It's a slowe…

I wouldn't do this if I were you, to be honest. At the absolute least I wouldn't have them generated on the fly every time; scaling images is usually very processor-intensive and s…

Is it possible to use GD to resize a thumbnail, and save this thumbnail to a directory? It's funny and convenient this thread exists, because I was just about to look into this mys…

Fascinating. I think for my purposes I'm persuaded that the best approach is to auto-generate the thumbnails when the images are first uploaded. But would that entail triggering s…

I have a script that uses GD to pull it off. And I use multiviews to pass variables to the script. So I don't actually have an images directory, but rather images.php which handl…
