No idea about the monitor. The root password can be changed two ways, basically. You can log in as root (if you've enabled the root user in Netinfo Manager, under Security), and then change the root password in System Preferences. or yo…

Um, what size is the dotted line function? Is it some obscenely large number -- creating the blue thing? ?

Cog, I would buy the Xserve. Either model. Or even a discounted G4 version, if you can find one. Why? Mac OS X Server software is $499 for 10-user license and $999 for unlimited-user license. It comes WITH the Xserve as part of the cost. …

800,285 iPods sold. no idea of the average price/revenue (just don't feel like doing the calc's)

These issues are now showing up in the iBooks as well. I wish the problems really had been fixed, but they do no appear so. Unless you are willing to live without the laptop for a few days, please wait. It is just not yet time to say ANY of Apple…

Less than one post before the personal attacks. Kewl. The talking points gang is out. Whee. Well, yes, I do think it is agood thing if a few successful people become senators, presidents, and the like, and gee, you don't suppose that t…

You may be serious. But you are also wrong. No offense. These PowerBooks suck, QA-wise. Wait.

Fantastic! Keep those weasels out! They don't believe in Freedom, Democracy, and Justice, so SC RE W them.

Imagine if these companies were owned by the Kennedys, or George Soros, or Steve (Democrat) Jobs. The truth is that no matter who owns these companies, anyone can create the conspiracy. Know the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? Same applies h…

Cancel the order. 3 out of 5 new 15" PowerBooks are having to be returned for repair, bad separators on on the screens, leaving white impressions on the screen. Wait. Wait. Wait. I'm serious.

Scary? That's good! If you've got the RAM, OS X will use it! You'd rather it not be used? Why? Just so you have some lying around? :-) OS X, when not stricken by application memory leaks, makes good use of your RAM, using every bit it need…

The PPC 970 2.0 Ghz chip costs less than the Xeon. All the PPCs cost much less than their Intel competition, but the G5 chip is the most expensive of the lot. Still, since the manufacturing is so much better at IBM than Moto, I bet the PPC 970 2.…

Erm, The low end is eMac and iBook. They both have G4s now, although neither will boot into 9. The old tower is not long for this world (months, perhaps).

Clark is a dolt. He murders eastern europeans, gets keel-hauled for hamming it up with the press, can't run an army, and his ideas are based in Disney's fantasy land. Puh-flipping-leeeeeze.

The academic version of Xpress 6.0 requires a license server, if my memory serves.... and a separate computer to run the server on. Most academics HATE quark for this reason/ the hardware dongle in the past.

I presented this idea to Apple shortly after iTunes came out, via email. The problem is security: If there is a disk, even encrypted, in every Blockbuster which holds the entire iTunes Library, someone will steal it and break into it. Much too b…

Send it to Apple as a warranty issue. Call up the support line, tell them the issue. Then kindly, but firmly, keep them going until they agree to send a box and take look at it. Since it's under AppleCare, they'll probably be glad to. Also, it so…

Also, note that Apple is charging sales tax on the "shipping and handling" fees when you do take part in "up-to-date." Most states DO NOT charge taxeson S&H. Be certain to dispute the charge on your credit card. This will cost Apple not only…

Ok, a gigE switch should eliminate the issues of the network. But did you time the copying time? I ask because it's possible that the Mac is not performing at gigE speeds, merely at 100BT speeds. Knowing the time to copy will likely answer this for …

I think Apple will offer those who got G5s within 30 days of Panther's release the usual Up-to-Date options ($20 shipping and handling for a "free" upgrade to 10.3). If Panther ships around Oct 24, it's cake (with thick chocolate icing). yummm
