Had to edit this to make it more clear.
In ExtendScript Toolkit I see a soundbooth object. It has only a handful of functions, one of which is called sendScriptToSoundbooth() which implies you can script Soundbooth().
What is the scripting language in soundbooth and how do you get started with scripting ?
I have a Powerpoint 2007 file that contains a number of textboxes and shapes with text on them. I can edit, resize, change the text, etc. in these boxes in Powerpoint. However, if I select an item, copy it, and paste it into a Word 2007 document, I can't edit it. I can resize the entire thing, but it acts more like an image than a text box. …
In Windows 7, I can do this at the command line:
"c:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2\sublime_text.exe" samplefolder
This launches a Sublime Text window, with the contents of samplefolder loaded in Sublime's sidebar.
While this works as needed, it's inconvenient to open a command prompt every single time. Is there any way I can add this…
I have a large problem with Chrome in my organisation. I use DNS to manage web site blocking, for sites which are not appropriate and are potentially a risk to the organisation where I do this.
I only want to use Chrome over the network, as Internet Explorer has compatibility problems with some sites that we use (We cannot change this…
I often have 6 or 7 separate Chrome windows open, often with 5-10 tabs in each. When I look at Windows Task Manager, I see each chrome.exe process, with some using a large amount of memory. How can I find which particular tab the process refers to? I want to know which one uses the most memory and close that tab instead of having to…
The built-in isight cam on my macbook machine keeps re-adjusting the lighting (and focus I think).
I need to manually set those, but I found nothing of any use in System Preferences or System Profiler.
Any way to access the settings ? Any magic terminal commands that allows access to the camera ? Anyone has a driver that allows for…
By default, I can select a word/phrase, right-click and choose "Search with Google". I'd like a "Search with Wikipedia" to mimic this option, but instead of using Wikipedia's search function, I'd like to use the following search string:

%s = word/phrase that has been…
We want to get 2048 bit key length CSR requests. The browser based GUI provides us with a 1024 bit CSR and I don't know how to change that.
It seems that 1024 bit key lengths will no longer supported by SSL companies. (Lower cost options only support 2048 bit. Thawte who is much more expensive say they accept 1024 for only one or…
I exported a basic Cinema4D scene as XML (File Export Cinema 4D XML)
then opened up the xml in Cinema4D and it looses the reference to the texture applied.
If I open up the original c4d file and render it I can see my texture applied.
If I open up the exported xml file and render it the texture is missing.
Any way to get around…
I have a desktop PC which was recently moved. Since moving I've noticed that even while the PC is turned off (but wall socket turned on) the NumLock LED on the keyboard is on.
It may have been doing this before the move, but I've only noticed it now.
Maybe it matters that the keyboard is connected via a shared mouse/keyboard PS/2…

I would like one of the machines, which is running Ubuntu 10.04, to act as an internet proxy for the other machine, which is running Windows.
How would I set this up? Is there a good Ubuntu proxy I can install?
I have a SQL Server 2005 SP3 box that one of my developers created a temp table on that we cannot seem to remove because it somehow got brackets in the name of the table?

What are the tradeoffs between using iSCSI or AFP to mount the backup volume?
The Synology wiki suggests that iSCSI is better if the Mac will be frequently disconnected from the network or…
I started WireShark on my Ubuntu machine and discovered that there were no interfaces I could listen to. So I launched it as root. This gave me access to all the interfaces, but gave me a warning:
Running WireShark as user 'root' in group 'root'. This could be dangerous...
So, is it dangerous? Otherwise, how…
While I'm waiting for VMWare support to get back to me, I thought I'd ask here. I have a 400 gig LUN presented from a fiber channel SAN to my VMWare host. It's legacy from another virtualization platform and I need to keep it as is to avoid a long period of downtime. I formatted my VMFS3 datastore with 4 meg…
