Does anyone know how to combine two PDF files into one PDF with Automator? When I specify which PDF files to use, apply the 'combine PDF files' action, the system cranks on the task for a while, then beeps indicating the action completed, but I cannot locate where the resultant file is, if...

Thank you all for your suggestions. A week and a half ago I sat down and "played hard" with Gimp and managed to create something along the lines that was intended. You can see it here: http://jbelair.macosx.com/ A version of the web page background image is what I was trying to create...

UPDATE: From the LaCie technical service representative, all LaCie Big Disk Extreme series of hard drives are striped RAID systems, i.e. two hard drives with a half of a file's data split on two hard drives. DriveSavers.com quoted 96% to 100% data recovery from a 320 GB striped RAID system...

I just spoke with technical service at LaCie, the gentleman said for me to send the drive first to DriveSavers.com for data recovery as LaCie will only repair of replace hardware components. I asked if LaCie can try to get the hard drives to power-on and if not, to send the drives back to me...

I have a LaCie 320 GB Big Disk Extreme with triple interface (FW400/800/ USB 2.0) and for the last month the hard drive would turn-off on its own with Mac OS X displaying a warning about improper device removal. Yesterday afternoon it turned-off for the last time. There was a slight burnt odor...

I wanted to hear from people who have both published and unpublished works. I don't know if there is much money being an author of stories. I suppose it probably does not pay that well unless one becomes famous, like Steven King.

Has anyone here on MacOSX.com ever written a book? I've been considering writing a short story, Steven King/Hannibal Lecter style, with some pretty sick, twisted, and gruesome actions along with a sophisticated story line. Just wondering what other people's experiences have been with writing.

I firmly believe that "what goes around comes around, twice as hard and twice as fast." Though I think it has more to do with connected social networks. If you are a do-gooder, people will talk favorably about you, your character, personality, work ethic, reward (both personally and...

Thank you for those links RacerX. I downloaded them all, but only had time to look at Nissus Thesaurus. Nissus Thesaurus also seems to be a dictionary in addition to the obvious.

Offer your services to large companies that generate a lot of information regarding their products. I work at a large pharmaceutical company that needs contract computer workers for writing specific applications for very specific and confidential needs. Many times large companies cannot find...

Someone over at Slashdot provided a link for the entire GoogleX website/graphics. I was fortunate to get a copy. It does immitate the Mac OS X Dock pretty well.

Does anyone know if there is an analogous program to LAME for AAC(MP4)? I currently use LAME with the 'alt-preset-insane' setting for importing MP3 into iTunes for the best possible sound quality. I can hear the difference between an iTunes 320 kbs MP3 and a LAME 320 kbs MP3. I would like to...

You can find neat tricks for Mac OS X over at http://www.macosxhints.com/ if you're not afraid of playing in the command line. With Mac OS X based on UNIX/BSD, you don't to undertand that part of the operating system to use the computer. Apple intentionally hides that with the Finder. There...
