10.4: Disable Spotlight on a FAT32 external drive | RFTT

skab is not an arse; he is correct!

you are either lazy or dumb!

your question was alreday dealt with in the tipster's post!

don't take umberage when someone else (skab) critisizes you for an elementary & obvious mistake; apologize & move on.

there should be a better mod-ing system ... it should not cause dumb comments to disappear - just the opposite: one's which are clearly assinine should be preserved so they can be held up to shame & ridicule -- these are very effctive deterents against acting like like a goof in public!

i find it extremely aggrevating when people cant follow the most basic instructions; will not listen or read the information that is provided; dont make any effort to understand the explanation - just want the answer spoon-fed to them.

it is an insult to the people who spend alot of time to diligently sort out the apalling mess that is the technical documentation / help system from apple (which is hardly the ONLY culprit in this regard).

'RTFT' ... is an amendment to the injunction 'RTFM' to include THREADS on the messegboards/blogs (in this case: hints & comments) when there is no f^#@ing manual ;-)

In fairness, this reader's dolt-ish behavior does underscore the need for a 'instruction mark-up language' as a general-purpose way to describe (and implement) a procedure. I intend to create such an XML schema -- and i herewith happily solicit suggestions (ontologies; rdf issues; xquery logics; etc) as well potential beta testers.

i would submit this idea to MyDreamApp.com but i dont like the prospect of surrendering ownership of the intellectual property.

cheers: DLF
