Update: if you become root via sudo, then do last, it will pause a few seconds and then spew out the answers. I believe after that point it will also work for non-root users.

I'm an idiot... It sounded so much like the CD head movement. Anyhow, it was my phone in my backpack buzzing because I got a text message. It kept buzzing even when the laptop was shutdown... You may commence the hysterical laughter now...

Every two minutes, I think it is my CD drive goes gr gr gr gr gr gr - six small grrs lasting maybe a half second spaced maybe a second apart. As far as I know, this started last night. I have 17-inch "Early 2011" MBP and the latest software 10.7.2 Any ideas on what this might be or how to...

Today's question / issue is with Mail. Folks I talk to embed gifs in their mail. I don't know if this is new for them or not. Also, they are coming from Lotus Notes so it might be doing some monkey business that Mail doesn't understand. But instead of viewing the gif inline I see...

Thank you for the web address. Here is my feedback posted to Apple: The various features implemented in Lion tend to work against me. There are changes to the UI that frustrate me. And the general appearance is a lower artistic level. 1) I don't want (ever) my application to resume when I...

I have not considered "going back" or "going away" -- so they are no show stoppers. But I do feel the OS is working "against" me rather than "for" me. I don't like having to tell the it every time I shutdown "No" to the box about resume processes. I don't like opening a new PDF and having the...

Ah... I found that one question. Pick the gear looking thing and set "Arrange By" to None. Then you get back to how it should work. I'm still interested in a good way to provide feedback.

Hey Guys, My basic question is: where is the best place to provide Apple with feedback? Lion and I don't love each other. I don't like many of the new features. My latest "OMG!!!" is with the finder window, when I am in list mode, I can't sort simply by clicking the columns. And if I do...

I'm just interested in reading. I tend to not use annotations. I am often trying to understand large technical documents that are not really meant to be "read" from cover to cover. They are more reference material. Thus I ping pong around a lot. I do lots of searches. No one has...

I'm on Lion. What are folk's favorite / preferred PDF reader? I don't like Preview for various reasons and I kinda don't like Adobe's either. Are there any other ones that are worth trying?

This happened again... Now, last works. So it must have to "figure it out" somehow. Grrr!!!. My cron jobs are not working. (This is with Lion.)

I think last no longer uses wtmp. But the past two days, I have gotten this: last wtmp begins Fri Oct 21 09:43 I need last sometimes to figure out the hours that I worked. Anyone know how to get more history?

Hmm... With Lion, it appears as if the Undo goes back multiple events. I just deleted six messages (junk message) and then did Undo six times and it brought all of them back. So... this isn't as bad as it use to be. I'm still curious, now that Satcomer got me thinking about custom keyboard...

Thanks (again)... still not working. I can't put the delete key into the short cut and I also can't put Command+Delete into the shortcuts. (I can put Command+S for example but when I try to put the delete key or command+delete it just beeps at me. I was going to make the delete key do...

Thanks. In the finder, for example, I have to hold Commnad + Delete to throw something in the trash. I'd like the delete key (while in mail) to either do nothing. I do the undo but, as you said, if I whack the delete key multiple times, I'm hosed. I tend to archive my mail once a week but...

Opps... I'm on Lion now.

bump -- this bit me again. Any suggestions on how to get the delete key to not delete mail?

I finally upgraded to Lion mostly because the Mail app sounded interesting. I'm not super impressed with it so far. Its very awkward to me. Changing the UI and interface will take some time. The one thing I noticed is the "feel" -- by that I mean the look of the buttons, the screen saver...

A google search led me to better touch tool (which I have installed). I disabled it and that cured the problem. I downloaded and installed a fresh version and that seems to be working. Their update process doesn't work sometimes. I've never connected it with any other symptoms though...

Turned off my wireless, no devices hooked up, no apps running except console. When the screen goes off, it pops back on and these messages are in the console log: 7/26/11 7:42:01 PM loginwindow[13207] _mthid_copyDeviceInfo(216172782187184128) failed 7/26/11 7:42:01 PM...
