While I agree with every solution above, let me also mention this: If what the user wants is instant access to desktop items, then another method to achieve that end is to (open t…

A friend of mine did a nice brochure in Quark, and now the customer wants the project translated into a couple other languages. The other troubling one is Arabic. He has contacted…

Unfortunately, Word 2004 doesn't support text in Arabic or any other right-to-left writing system. Ironically, though, I suspect TextEdit would be able to read the files correctly …

Wow, thanks for the info. If you do try the cut & paste, let me know.

Looks like Quark doesn't support Arabic. I typed some random Arabic into TextEdit and pasted into Quark and it came out as "????????." But there's an Xtension that adds support.

Maybe your best bet is to have the arabic laid out in Illustrator then placed into Quark. The crucial thing about the process would be the line breaks, unless of course you can rea…

Sounds like there's no real easy way to do this. Still, I appreciate all the good info. I've sent it to my friend, and a link to this thread for him to keep an eye on. Thanks ag…

I can't get this game to work. Any ideas? In the forums it said to use the stand alone Flash Player 7 but I can't find it.

Hmm, Dofus plays great in Safari for me.

I couldn't get it to play in Safari, IE, Firefox or Camino. It would never completely load.

It's a KLH 2.1 Home theater system with iPod dock. Costco's regular price is $179.99 but this week it's one of their coupon specials for $30 off. It looks like a pretty nice powe…

No one has any thoughts on this system??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions There's SSE, SSE2 and SSE3. These are sort of like Altivec equivalents in the x86 world. When is Apple going to start optim…

OSX requires a minimum of SSE3, although it has been hacked to support machines that only have SSE2. The system vector libraries support the use of SSE (1/2/3) in addition to Altiv…

I think Apple already is. As mduell points out, an official requirement is SSE3 because Rosetta uses it. And I'm sure it's used elsewhere.

All the intel binaries are optimized for SSE2 when they are compiled. Some also include SSE3 instructions, but since there are equivelents in SSE2 for all SSE3 instructions, the ke…

Did Intel release its own compiler for OS X or is Apple still using gcc from 10.4.4 to now?

The compilers automatically use SSE, unless you explicitly tell them not to. AFAIK the fpu is actually integrated into the SSE unit of the P4 at least.
