Emacs on Mac OS 9 and OS X Tweaks … (and tricks, trifles, traps, and other tips that start with 't' (or not.) )
Stuff moved to other pages: CocoAspell.
You can use the pre-built package from [1]. Although Aquamacs is also available, there is some funky behavior that's different from regular emacs. e.g. In org-mode, C-c C-j for search doesn't work in Aquamacs
For future installation of *.el files and other cool stuff, you also want to install xcode from Mac Appstore. It is freely available. It is required for Macports, which in turn is required for many packages.
See MacPrintMode.
You can download eudc-mab.el, by JohnWiegley, which implements a back-end to EUDC that can query AddressBook.app.
(defun mac-open-terminal () (interactive) (let ((dir "")) (cond ((and (local-variable-p 'dired-directory) dired-directory) (setq dir dired-directory)) ((stringp (buffer-file-name)) (setq dir (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name)))) ) (do-applescript (format " tell application \"Terminal\" activate try do script with command \"cd %s\" on error beep end try end tell" dir)) ))
Anyone know of a way to make Mac OS X regard gnus, as part of CarbonEmacsPackage, as the Mac OS X mail application? In other words, it would be great if when following "mailto" links in web pages with, say, Firefox.app, a Message buffer is configured and sending or aborting the message with C-c C-c or C-c C-k brings the focus back to the browser. It would also be fantastic if there were a Spotlight interface for gnus. In other words, if there were a way to search for messages with spotlight and then select the found messages with, for example, gnus.
UPDATE There is a gnus spotlight interface! Check out http://www.yoshidam.net/diary/Spotlight.
I've already selected Emacs.app as my defaul mail client (I did this within the Mail.app preferences). Following mailto links with Firefox raises my emacs window, but apparently nothing happens. Also the messages I've downloaded to my laptop with the gnus agent are entirely disregarded by spotlight.
Try this:
(defun switch-to-or-start-gnus () "If there is no buffer *Group*, call (gnus-start)" (interactive) (if (get-buffer "*Group*") (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer "*Group*")) (gnus)))
(setq url-mail-command (lambda () (progn (switch-to-or-start-gnus) (gnus-group-mail))))
This will start gnus if it's not already running, btw. – JamesFelixBlack?
Apple's Spotlight search facility has its command-line version in the mdfind command (man mdfind). It wouldn't be too hard to write up an Emacs Lisp interface to it, but Emacs' own locate interface makes it even easier - just bind the variable 'locate-command' to mdfind, and you're done; now you can get your Spotlight searches straight in your Emacs buffer.
OS X lion has introduced a new input feature known as "Press and Hold", where you hold a letter and are prompted with a popup menu allowing you to choose which accent/version of the vowel you want to type. Unfortunately, as of Emacs 23 (OS X build, x11 / terminal / maybe others not affected) this is not only enabled by default but also completely broken. With the exception of vowels (AEIOU) and Y, if you press a alphanumeric key and hold it, rather than it repeating according to your OS keyboard repeat rate setting, it sends the key once and then stops all together (does not apply when keyboard modifier is pressed in combination with key). This is especially problematic if you use gnus mode, viper mode, or any mode that encourages the use of navigation via the alphanumeric keys on the keyboard.
Fortunately, there is a work-around, revealed by hober of #emacs. To disable, place the following at the top of your emacs config:
(ns-set-resource nil "ApplePressAndHoldEnabled" "NO")
It seems that it must be run before the frame is initialized, so evaluating it while Emacs is running will have no effect. Naturally, restart will be required.
Also, if you want to disable it system wide run the following in the terminal:
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
Do M-X customize-variable RET Info-additional-directory-list RET, and add the value /sw/share/info.
Since fink doesn't have "everything", you may also wish to create an info directory which you will maintain manually, for the pages that you couldn't get otherwise. You can add a path to it as /Users/yourname/info. Note that you cannot use a ~ in this pathname.
(setenv "MANPATH" "/sw/share/man:/usr/share/man")
This is necessary because your .bash_profile isn't run by the Finder. I thought there was supposed to be some way to set the environment variables which the Finder will pass to apps it starts, but I haven't been able to find it?
program is smart enough to construct a MANPATH on-the-fly based on your PATH. If you set MANPATH manually (in the shell), man
trusts that it's correct, and doesn't look for additional man directories. Unfortunately, it looks like Emacs can't take advantage of that mechanism, so maybe setting it in your .emacs file is the best approach.(Note that running man -w
will give you man
's current idea of the search path, so it might be possible to set MANPATH within Emacs at startup by writing some code to do that parsing.)
AquamacsEmacs is a distribution of up-to-date CVS builds with additional patches and very extensive customizations to make Emacs fit in with other apps on OS X - mainly in terms of the user interface. Nice fonts are supported, as are OS X keyboard shortcuts and selecting, copying, pasting, deleting text with the mouse and the standard keys. More features: mode-specific frame settings (colors, fonts…), smart frame positioning, opens a new frame for every file (if wanted - configurable).
The intention seems to be to make Emacs feel more like an OSX application and less like Emacs, with respect to key bindings (use the command key for the usual OSX commands, use Option for meta), cut and paste functionality (just selecting text does not pollute the OSX clipboard any more), window usage, etc. AUCTeX (for LaTeX) and a range of other packages come with it and are ready to use. If you don't want to use it wholesale (an old Emacs hack wouldn't), a lot of it still can be pilfered as an example .emacs.
It's pretty configurable and runs on OSX 10.3 / 10.4. Most customizations are default, but can be turned off. Apple shortcuts do not replace standard Emacs shortcuts.
When running from the Finder, applications do not get the same enviroment that command line tools see. This may prevent Emacs from seeing stuff in /usr/local/bin or other places.
This is how add stuff to the PATH variable, a must if you try to use Emacs for TeX work. Add this to your .emacs file:
(setenv "PATH" (concat (getenv "PATH") ":/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current"))
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/bin" "/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current")))
Or to get self-compiled/alternative python to work when Emacs.app is launched from Finder, you might need to insert stuff to PATH and exec-path, instead of appending it:
; Set PATH and exec-path to load python first (setenv "PATH" (concat "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Version/2.7/bin:" (getenv "PATH"))) (setq exec-path (cons "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin" exec-path))
Alternatively, you can set up the path for all applications launched from the Finder by editing ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
[4] [5], or using the RCEnvironment preferences pane [6].
Emacs lisp support for Mac OS X plist files (including the environment plist file used by the Finder) is here: MacOSXPlist
Changing the Finder's environment variables doesn't take effect until you log out entirely and back in, though. Whether this is a problem depends on whether you're in the habit of rebooting (ever), or not.
A final alternative: if you spend most of your time in Terminal.app and would like emacs to inherit your shell's environment, open /Applications/Emacs.app
will accomplish this.
Open-network-stream is called to create a socket connection to a remote host; it's given a string in the form "host:port", where port is usually a symbolic name.
Anytime ERC tried to use it, or I tried to use it to connect to an IRC server, it gave an error, "No address associated with nodename." Yet if I used it by hand to connect to, say, port 80, it worked fine. Mysteeerious.
I originally thought this was due to the fact that certain Mac-api calls translate pathnames by replacing colons with slashes, but I now think it's much more likely to be that /etc/services exists, like it does on Linux (and doesn't on Win), but doesn't contain all of the same things. For example, there's no entry for ircd (port 6667).
The workaround is to designate the port with a number rather than with a service name. Or, of course, you could edit your /etc/services, but then you'd have to ask your users to make the same changes.
I haven't had much success launching multiple instances (not frames) of the AndrewChoi build of Emacs. Anyone know whether this is possible, and if so how it might be done?
Via Terminal.app, like `/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS?/Emacs' you can start multiple instances. I haven't used it, but at least confirmation on exit doesn't work that way with the Carbon Emacs.
If you cannot get TrampMode to login via ssh or even sshx, and you cannot start an ssh session from within ShellMode, try:
(setq process-connection-type t)
in your .emacs (or type it in the scratch buffer and press C-x C-e after it to evaluate the expression)
Before OSX.3, there was a bug in OSX's handling of pseudo terminals, which meant that output from certain commands could be lost [7]. Apple fixed the bug in OSX.3 [8].
As a workaround, process-connection-type is set to nil by default when Emacs CVS after the end of January 2005 is built on OSX.2 or lower [9]. Before that date, process-connection-type was set to nil by default whatever the OS version. This breaks a number of other things (eg ssh and TrampMode).
If you are running on OSX.3 or higher, try setting process-connection-type back to t. [10] [11] – LawrenceAkka?
Emacs on OSX is IMHO better than the other editors I've used on Mac, but it's still annoyingly unstable. In particular, it has a nasty tendency to hang on bad bytecode and stalled network connections, and these hangs can't be broken with a C-g. The solution I've found is to attach to it with GDB, then enter a recursive edit:
$ gdb /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs `ps uxwww | grep [E]macs | awk '{ print $2 }'` ... (gdb) p Frecursive_edit()
then hit C-c. Finally
(gdb) detach (gdb) quit
When running the X11 server application of MacOSX, there will be MetaKeyProblems. See, the Option key serves as the meta all Emacsers depends on so much. Macintosh proggies use Option extensively, and X11 is no different. Thus keys with the meta bit on often don't reach the client programs, even if the meta down and up events are reported by xev(1x) and similar programs. If one flips off the Enable key equivalents in X11
at X11->Preferences...->Input
, the server lets the meta-bit pass without interpreting it itself. This of course disables all the useful keyboard shortcuts of the server, like jumping among the windows with sideways arrows and digits.
Of course one can use the ESC
in the usual prefix-manner, if the above setting seems unpleasant.
Another option is to run 'xev'
from the xterm. Press your Option key. In the xterm it'll display something like this:
KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0xe00001,
root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 58951838, (-197,69), root:(369,302),
state 0x8, keycode 66 (keysym 0xffe7), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
Notice the keycode, in my case it's 66. Then in the xterm run:
xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Meta_L"
..this sets my Option key to the Left Meta Key. Replace '66'
with the keycode that was returned for you.
To make this persistent you need to create two files in my home directory. One called `.xinitrc' (a default `.xinitrc' can be found at "/private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc" on MacOSX 10.3.9. Copy it to your home directory) and one called `.Xmodmap'. You will need to create the file `.Xmodmap' with you favourite plain text editor. My `.Xmodmap' looks like this:
! bindings for xmodmap. set Option to Meta keycode 66 = Meta_L ! set Enter to Return keycode 60 = Return
You do not need to alter the contents of the default `.xinitrc', but you should make sure it's executable. Do this from an xterm currently in your home directory with:
chmod 744 .xinitrc
Although from about October 2004 Emacs can use OSX native file open/save dialog boxes, it will only do so if the Find File command is invoked using the mouse (i.e. from the File/Open or Save menu) [12].
If you want to use OSX dialogs when you invoke Find File from the keyboard you can use the applescript hacks below. Alternatively, you might try this in your dot emacs, which uses the built-in dialog and is quicker:
(defun mac-open-file (filename &optional wildcards) (interactive (let ((last-nonmenu-event nil)) (find-file-read-args "Find existing file: " t)) ) ; (find-file-existing filename wildcards) (find-file-existing filename) ) (global-set-key [(alt o)] 'mac-open-file)
I have not worked out the equivalent for saving files yet – LawrenceAkka?.
To open a file using the system's open dialog, add the below lines to your .emacs.el:
(defun mac-open-file () (interactive) (let ((file (do-applescript "try POSIX path of (choose file) end try"))) (if (> (length file) 3) (setq file (substring file 1 (- (length file) 1)) )) (if (and (not (equal file ""))(file-readable-p file)) (find-file file) (beep)) )) ;; command + O (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) (global-set-key [(alt o)] 'mac-open-file)
;; menu item (define-key menu-bar-file-menu [open-file] '("Open File..." . mac-open-file))
Similar to the above, you can get a Cocoa "Save As…" dialog by putting the following in your .emacs:
(defun mac-save-file-as () (interactive) (let ((file (do-applescript "try POSIX path of (choose file name with prompt \"Save As...\") end try"))) (if (> (length file) 3) (setq file (substring file 1 (- (length file) 1)) )) (if (not (equal file "")) (write-file file) (beep)) )) ;; command + S (setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil) (global-set-key (kbd "M-s") 'mac-save-file-as)
By default the scrolling with the Mighty Mouse is very jerky. The following setting feel more reasonable:
(setq mouse-wheel-scroll-amount '(0.01))
See also MacKeyMode.
Less intrusive than above, See also CapitalizeWordOrKillRingSave.
See EmacsAsDaemon for instructions on running the emacs server via OS X's launchd.
Terminal.app is unable to send the Control+Meta combination. This is the case even if the "alt sends meta" option is enabled in the preferences. For people who want to use emacs remotely under an ssh session in Terminal.app (and who hence cannot use the Carbon package), this is known to be very frustrating.
Updated November 2009: This can be fixed by running cmd-key-happy(1) [13].
I'm using Terminal.app 2.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 and ticking Preferences->Keyboard->Use option as meta key makes C-M combination work on both the system's emacs and remote emacs through ssh. --avar
Ticking Preferences->Keyboard->Use option as meta key makes C-M combination work on Mac OS X 10.4.11. --WeakishJiang
1 - How can I use Emacspeak on Mac OS X?
Emacspeak now has a speech server that works on mac.
2 - How do you tell the carbon CVS emacs what fonts are available and how do I include them into the shift-mouse-left menu? – Dirk
you can modify the shift-mouse-left menu manually – PhilipF?:
(setq x-fixed-font-alist '("Font Menu" ("Misc" ("monaco-9" "-*-monaco-medium-r-*--9-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") ("monaco-10" "-*-monaco-medium-r-*--10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") )))
I'm weird about my fonts, constantly fidgeting with them. Here's a function that I use to explore – James Felix Black
(defun font-name-size (n s) (format "-*-%s-medium-r-*--%s-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" n s))
(defun set-mac-font (n s) (interactive (let* ((font-name (completing-read "font-name: " (mapcar (lambda (n) (list n n)) (mapcar (lambda (p) (car p)) (x-font-family-list))) nil t)) (size (read-number "size: " 12))) (list font-name size))) (let ((font-spec (font-name-size n s))) (if (null (assq 'font default-frame-alist)) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . ""))) (setcdr (assq 'font default-frame-alist) font-spec) (set-default-font font-spec)))
(set-mac-font "bitstream vera sans mono" 14)
A better way, that works in 22:
(defun jfb-set-mac-font (name size) (interactive (list (completing-read "font-name: " (mapcar (lambda (n) (list n n)) (mapcar (lambda (p) (car p)) (x-font-family-list))) nil t) (read-number "size: " 12))) (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family name :slant 'normal :weight 'normal :width 'normal :height (* 10 size)))
This seems to be "more correct." – JamesFelixBlack?
– Horrible style or no, it works like a charm (Jonathan Simms)
3 - I'm having trouble os displaying correcty iso-latin-1 characters on Andrew Choi build of emacs (I'm trying to use apple-monaco font). I've already tried what he suggests on his F.A.Q and achieved some results. Emacs recognizes the key code but doesn't seen to know how to display it. It just displays a white square instead of the char. I've also read EmacsManual, but i'm still stuck. Did anyone achieve to display correctly iso-latin-1 chars with monaco font? Ricardo Jota
– Sure:
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec "-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac, ascii:-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-m-*-mac-roman, latin-iso8859-1:-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-m-*-mac-roman, mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-m-*-mac-roman") (set-frame-font "-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac" 'keep) (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "-apple-andale mono-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-mac"))
This is for Andale Mono (much more readable than Monaco), but Monaco should do, too.
You probably also want:
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman)
(setq selection-coding-system 'mac-roman) ; This is broken, but better than the default
(All this is for the CVS version as of 2004-09-14. To obtain a recent Emacs, install darwinports and then do "sudo port install emacs +carbon")
Has anyone succeded in using the scrolling trackpad in the new powerbook for scrolling in emacs?
Yes, that bug has been fixed. It's available in the latest version of AquamacsEmacs (starting 0.9.2b8).
4 - I started using an Emacs installation on an MAC OSX (not mine), but the keyboard seems to be completely misconfigured. The function keys are missing - emacs receives just escape codes, so I guess it is a problem with the terminal configuration. I found out about the manual repair method in function-key-map, but if the terminal were properly set up, this problem should not be there. How do I set up the terminal correctly? Or, how to configure Emacs correctly for the Mac OS X terminal. – MatthiasKievernagel?
5 - I'd like to be able to change the icon (or name?) of a running instance of Emacs.app. I use one instance for mail and another one for coding. Would like to be able to differentiate them when switching between apps using Cmd-TAB.

Jesuits wonder how Francis will lead church

VATICAN CITY — The Jesuits, the legendary order of Roman Catholic priests known for its intellectuals, missionaries and iconoclasts, are unusual in the church because they take a vow of obedience to the pope.
Now that one from their ranks has become Pope Francis, Jesuits are wondering whether there should even be a Jesuit pontiff and how former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio can carry out this unprecedented task.
Jesuits described themselves as doubly stunned by the surprise election but sure that Francis would take his guidance from their order's long tradition of spirituality that stresses practical solutions to problems in the world.
"Who will the pope obey now? How will this obedience work?" asked the Rev. Nicolas Steeves, a French-American Jesuit doing doctoral studies in Paris.
Francis has not given any outline of reforms he plans for the scandal-hit Vatican, but Jesuits contacted by Reuters sketched out the guidelines they thought he would use.
"Jesuit spirituality is very practical, it's about helping people meet God in the concrete realities of their lives," said the Rev. Kevin O'Brien, Jesuit chaplain at Georgetown University in Washington.
Steeves stressed that Jesuits would look first to an orientation toward change and then find ways to affect it. "He's going to bring a change, but the first change is the change of each of our hearts."
The Society of Jesus, the Jesuits' official name, is one of the most-influential orders of the church. It has about 18,000 priests and brothers.
Founded in 1540, it became a powerful force in Catholic education and sent zealous missionaries to far-off lands to spread the Gospels.
According to its strict rules, no Jesuit was to seek higher office or honors in the church. Only the pope can ask them to make an exception, which they do in obedience to him, Steeves said.
That has not stopped the order from tangling with the Vatican over the centuries. In the 1980s, many of them chafed under Pope John Paul II's order to stop leftist political activity linked to the liberation theology popular in Latin America then.
Some paid for their commitment with their lives. In 1989, six Jesuits teaching at the University of Central America in San Salvador were accused of being leftists during the country's civil war and were killed by the Salvadorian army.

Val Halla 2012 Class A Shake Up?
Sat Sep 1, 2012 3:31am
So it appears as though the top five in Class A at Val Halla 2012 is going to be drastically different this year. With Liberty, Willow Springs, Salem, Winfield, and Houston coming on strong, is there any slim hope for Marionville and/or El Dorado Springs to remain potential trophy contenders? Is Seymour in the mix in this class as well, and Spokane, and even.....dare we say...Miller? Too much marching talent in that group to hand out awards to mediocre bands in 4th or 5th place like they have in the past three years.....

Will you be a Starbucks Snob?
Cling Along with Barack: The always-suspect Michael Lind nevertheless sends around a useful commentary on Obama's gruesomely off-key condscension toward downscale Rustbelt voters:
According to Obama, working class (white) people "cling to guns" because they are bitter at losing their manufacturing jobs.
Excuse me? Hunting is part of working-class American culture. Does Obama really think that working-class whites in Pennsylvania were gun control liberals until their industries were downsized, whereas they all rushed to join the NRA ...
I used to think working class voters had conservative values because they were bitter about their economic circumstances--welfare and immigrants were "scapegoats," part of the false consciousness that would disappear when everyone was guaranteed a good job at good wages. Then I left college. ...
P.S.: Because Obama's comments are clearly a Category II Kinsley Gaffe--in which the candidate accidentally says what he really thinks--it will be hard for Obama to explain away. [He could say he was tired and it was late at night?--ed But he was similarly condescending in his big, heartfelt, well-prepared "race speech" when he explained white anger over welfare and affirmative action as a displacement of the bitterness that comes when whites
are anxious about their futures, and feel their dreams slipping away; in an era of stagnant wages and global competition ...
Obama's new restatement confirms the Marxist Deskwork interpretation of the race speech, removing any honest doubt as to his actual attitude.
Rather than trying to spin his way out, wouldn't it be better for Obama to forthrightly admit his identity? Let's have a national dialogue about egghead condescension!]
P.P.S.: Note that guns are not the only thing Obama says "white working class" people "cling" to for economic reasons:
[I]t's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations. [E.A.]
Hmm. Isn't Obama the one who has been clinging to religion lately? Does he cling to his religion for authentic reasons while those poor Pennsylvania slobs cling to it as a way to "explain their frustrations"? ... They worship an awesome God in the blue states because they're bitter about stagnant wages! I think that's what he said in his 2004 convention address ... 4:41 P.M. link

Kawai uses preparations like bolts and thread on most of the tracks, while Akiyama uses a prepared guitar on one track and a slide guitar on another. The two acoustic instruments sometimes clash, sometimes sympathize, without ever losing the overall tension and control.
Tetuzi Akiyama, an improviser who plays both acoustic and electric guitar, performs in Japan and other countries, including on yearly overseas tours. Takuji Kawai, born in 1963, studied classical piano as a child and received a master's degree from the graduate school of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. He started improvising in the mid-1980s, and in addition to improvised music he currently performs works by contemporary composers like John Cage, Morton Feldman, Giacinto Scelsi, and Yuji Takahashi. An outstanding talent, Kawai is a composer as well as a pianist."-Ftarri

MIAMI (AP) — Convicted terrorism plotter Jose Padilla was back in a South Florida courtroom and is seeking a delay in his scheduled resentencing by a federal judge.
The hearing Tuesday was behind closed doors but marked the 42-year-old Padilla's first time in a Miami courtroom since his 2008 sentencing. Padilla and two others were convicted of supporting al-Qaida and conspiracy after a lengthy trial. Initial claims Padilla intended to set off a radioactive "dirty bomb" were dropped.
A federal appeals court ruled that Padilla's 17-year prison sentence was too lenient and ordered him resentenced. That hearing is currently set for Dec. 3.
Defense attorney Michael Caruso wants more time to assess Padilla's mental condition. Padilla was held in a Navy brig for over three years without charge as an enemy combatant.

Norway data shows global warming is less severe than feared
After the planet's average surface temperature rose through the 1990s, the increase has almost leveled off at the level of 2000, while ocean water temperature has also stabilized, the Research Council of Norway said in a statement on its website. After applying data from the past decade, the results showed temperatures may rise 1.9 degrees Celsius if Co2 levels double by 2050, below the 3 degrees predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
"The Earth's mean temperature rose sharply during the 1990s," said Terje Berntsen, a professor at the University of Oslo who worked on the study. "This may have caused us to overestimate climate sensitivity."

Thanks for the help Midnight! Is there a reason you don't prefer putting images in your post?
Is it because it takes longer to load the page?
Omg your comic was so cute Midnight!! <3
If only that would happen in the anime (well the hugging probably wouldn't, but the face pulling was hilarious)
I didnt know you were silvermoon602 on deviantart, I always love looking at your artwork
As for Sethern's question:
What do you enjoy most in Advanceshipping fanart, or what are some things you wish they had more of?
I don't find the realistic ones to look weird xD
I love the variety in advanceshipping fanart, I mean you have artists that draw it really close to the anime stye, and others who draw them in different styles (other anime styles, realistic, etc.). I just wish there were more comics about advanceshipping, something that wouldn't be too oc for them.
I know there are a lot but I'd prefer even more >.<

I just spent a day trying to figure out why upgrading some ASUS A7V266E based workstations, from Mandrake 10.0 to 10.2 (aka 2005LE), caused them to run 5X slower. It turned out that: A. lm_sensors had a change between 2.6.x kernel versions that eliminated the need for a /2 in its config file, resulting in a CPU temp reading of 105C. B. The /2 actually takes place inside the monitor chip, so the monitor chip "thinks" that the system is at 105C. C. The BIOS had an option for controlling overheating detected by the monitor chip that could be set to either "throttle" or "shutdown", and it was set for the former. D. When the CPU was throttled /proc still reported the CPU Mhz at the full speed, even though effectively throttle reduced the Mhz by 5x. Which is a long winded way of saying that you should check your BIOS and see if you have the equivalent of "throttle" set. If so for cluster work you'd be better served by "shutdown". It's a lot less mysterious when a node just shuts down (indicating right up front that a hardware failure is present) than when things start running really, really slowly, for no apparent reason.

I've seen doctors that are, in and out in 5 minutes to get prescriptions. Basically legal drug dealers. Dr. Westerback is not like that.
As far as the DUIs, we all make mistakes. At certain times in our lives, we are just in a bad place mentally and emotionally.
You have my support Dr. Westerback!

Search and Seizure: What is the case of Robbins vs California about?
This case is about searches and seizures that are conducted without a warrant. Specifically, it was about whether the police would need to have a warrant in order to unwrap two packages wrapped in opaque green plastic and placed in the trunk of a car. In this case, the Supreme Court held that the police had no right to open and search the packages without a warrant.
In this case, Robbins was stopped while driving and the police smelled marijuana when he opened the car door. They searched the car and found the two packages in a baggage compartment under the trunk (such as where a spare tire might be kept). They opened the packages and found marijuana.
In this case, the Court ruled that the police had acted...

Law: What does the legislative branch do?
In federal and state government, the legislative branch's primary function is to make laws, (to legislate means to make laws),but in the federal government, the legislature has a few other responsibilities, too. It is important for you to understand, though, that whether we are talking about the federal legislature, which is Congress, or the legislature of a particular state, the rights and responsibilites of this branch are controlled by constitutions. For Congress, the United States Constitution controls what can be done, and in the case of state legislatures, each state constitution controls what that particular legislature can do. This is why a knowledge of the particular constitution is so very important.

Arkansas v. Sanders: What is this case of Arkansas vs. Sanders about?
This case is about searches and seizures of private property taken from a car that has legally been stopped by the police. It has to do with whether the police can search such property without a warrant. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that the police need to have a warrant to search private property taken from a car.
In general, the police need to have warrants to search private property. However, one exception to this is when the private property is in a car and may be driven away and destroyed. In that case, the police have the right to search and seize the property to prevent the destruction of evidence.
In this case, Lonnie Sanders was arrested while riding in a taxi. He had a suitcase full of...

The social worker has the child or family members best interest in mind when investigating a suspected incident or complaint. Many times it is imperative that agencies work together to ensure safety for the social worker or if a need arises to remove a child from a home. Often times a criminal investigation will arise from a complaint or statement made to the social worker. The social worker cannot undertake a criminal investigation as to rape or physical assault. However, often times these investigations are pursuant to a social worker's report on an incident.
A social worker has authority to "protect" a child if they believe that harm has or will come to that child even though they may not have enough evidence that...
No invention in modern times has had as much of an impact on human life as the invention of the automobile. It has become an important influence on the history, economy, and social life of much of the world. In fact, the rapid growth of the United States in the twentieth century can be directly related to the automobile.
Automobiles reach into every aspect of society, from the design of our cities to such personal uses as vacation travel, dining, and shopping. Mass-production techniques, first developed for the automobile, have been adapted for use in nearly every industry. Meanwhile, dozens of industries depend, directly or indirectly, on the automobile. These industries include producers of...

This case is connected to the Constitution because it held that the Commerce Clause of the Constitution can be used by Congress to justify banning racial discrimination in public accommodations.
In 1881, a set of cases called the Civil Rights Cases were decided by the Supreme Court. These cases held that the 14th Amendment could not be applied to privately owned businesses. In other words, the 14th Amendment applied only to government actions, not to the actions of private businesses. In 1964, however, the US Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That law said that even private businesses could not discriminate on the basis of race. The Heart of Atlanta Motel sued because it wanted to continue to exclude...

Confessions are normally accepted only if the defendant has been read his rights under Miranda vs. Arizona which formally advises him of his rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Any waiver of those rights is normally made in writing. At any point in criminal proceedings, the defendant has the right to challenge his confession if he believes he was coerced. It is then up to the trial judge to determine if the defendant did in fact freely and knowingly waive his right to remain silent and to be represented by counsel.
Courts have the option to reject a plea of guilty if they believe that the plea or confession was coerced in any fashion. Pleas of guilty are accepted only if the Court is convinced beyond a...
Family Law
Statutes, court decisions, and provisions of the federal and state constitutions that relate to family relationships, rights, duties, and finances.
The law relating to family disputes and obligations has grown dramatically since the 1970s, as legislators and judges have reexamined and redefined legal relationships surrounding DIVORCE, CHILD CUSTODY, and CHILD SUPPORT. Family law has become entwined with national debates over the structure of the family, gender bias, and morality. Despite many changes made by state and federal legislators, family law remains a contentious area of U.S. law, generating strong emotions from those who have had to enter the legal process.

Yes, there is a difference between emergency preparedness and emergency management. Preparedness happens before emergency; management happens after the emergency has taken place.

Different types of groups and equipment may be needed to deal with different kinds of emergency situations. Emergency planning could include creating and publicizing evacuation routes, assigning responsibilities to take care of specific parts of a community's infrastructure, and so on.
Emergency management involves coordinating all the necessary services during and after an emergency has occurred. Protecting the public, helping the...

I would argue that the major way in which our historic roots have affected modern criminal investigations comes in the way that the 4th, and to some extent 5th, amendments have influenced our system.
These amendments were created because of the Founders' fear of intrusive government. This fear of government is one of our major historical roots. The amendments that came out of it have made it so that criminal investigations even today must be conducted with a great deal of sensitivity to the rights of the accused. We protect the rights of the accused against unreasonable searches and against forced confessions. We also protect (6th amendment) their right to be tried by a jury.
All of these protections affect the...

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA) (P.L. 105-277, 112 Stat. 2681) protects the online privacy of children under thirteen by requiring commercial Web sites and online services to request parental consent for the collection, use, and disclosure of a child's personal information.
This legislation grew out of the fact that by 1998 roughly ten million American children had access to the Internet, and at the same time, studies indicated that children were unable to understand the potential effects of revealing their personal information online, and parents...
Articles of Confederation: Which important powers did the national government lack under the...
The US government under the Articles of Confederation lacked many important powers. Some of these were specific powers but others were more general.
Generally, the national government simply looked weak. It had no chief executive and no judiciary. This meant that the national government had no power to enforce or even to interpret laws that it passed. This made it weak in general ways.
The government also lacked several specific powers. It lacked the power to regulate trade between the states or between the states and foreign governments. This meant that trade wars could break out between states. It also meant that the US could not create any trade policies with foreign countries. When the British closed...

Oxford United boss comfortable with underdog tag
9:30am Friday 20th September 2013 in Headlines By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
IT IS rare for Chris Wilder to concede ground to anybody, so when the Oxford United boss suggests tomorrow's opponents are "clear favourites", it grabs your attention.
The Kassam Stadium will see the division's two remaining unbeaten records go head-to-head.
But while the U's have enjoyed their best start to a Football League season for a decade, it is Chesterfield – four points clear at the top – who have grabbed the headlines.
Well backed for promotion during the summer, they have continued to strengthen, bringing in the experienced Gary McSheffrey last week.
Wilder is not about to raise the white flag, but thinks his side, missing skipper Jake Wright and James Constable to injury, will begin the game as underdogs.
"I believe people will be looking at it as an away win," he said.
"I'm not trying to be clever about that or use psychology.
"I think people will look at the start they have made, the players and strength in depth they've got compared to the knocks that we've had so they will be clear favourites.
"I don't mind that, I have a lot of characters in my team, good players who have played in big games."
Although it is a break from the norm for home games, where invariably teams set up looking for a point, the U's manager thinks the squad will rise to the occasion.
He said: "You can go two ways – either you will be intimidated by the start they've made and the quality players they've got, or you can confront it, say 'bring it on' and look forward to the challenge.
"We will be doing the latter and will be relishing the opportunity of showing what a decent side we are."
When it comes to upsetting the odds, United have a rich recent history to fall back on, including memorable wins over Swindon Town.
"We have played a lot of games at home in my time here, big games, and come out on top," Wilder said.
"Any result can happen. This is a great game for everybody at the club, gives us a chance to extend our unbeaten run and close the gap on the leaders."

Way to put an extra few hundred on the gate, Chris....
Should be an entertaining match, and if Ch'field stick to their attacking policy, i'm optimistic we could nick it.

Companies have combated the "bad rap" of margarine by creating spreads that are not hydrogenated or ones in which the trans fatty acids have been removed. These new fat-free and low-fat margarines have virtually no trans fatty acids at all. Other companies combine their butter and their margarine products, providing taste with fewer trans fatty acids. Marketers have also discovered the beneficial aspects of margarine-like spreads that lower cholesterol, tapping into the highly-profitable nutraceuticals market.
Benecol, manufactured by the McNeil Consumer Healthcare unit of Johnson & Johnson and developed in Finland in conjunction with Raisio, was the first spread to introduce cholesterol-reducing ingredients: stanol esters made from pine tree extract. Plant stanol esters have been proven at the Mayo Clinic to reduce LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, by 14% with regular use (three servings per day for two weeks). Unilever/Best Foods' Lipton division's Take Control margarine substitute came out in the market at the same time as Benecol. Its plant esters are made from soybean oil extract and studies have found that it reduces the body's ability to absorb cholesterol by 13%.
In 2000, the FDA gave Benecol and other products made with plant stanol esters permission to claim that they lower the risk of heart disease – when used in concert with a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol.
