I guess it did. My fault.

Wow, that was quick replying! I've just gone out quickly to get breakfast and already two replies... Thanks guys. I should clarify that I have 200MB free without iMovie and iDVD running. When I fire those programs up (with files open), my free RA…

Anyone? Is it possible to hide SSID and do MAC address filtering in SOFTWARE base station? On a related issue, I managed to get OpenVPN working, by creating a virtual tun device. However, what this means is that I actually have two connections be…

Thanks for your comments. I'm saving money to upgrade my bike, so I'm trying to make do with what I already have. I'm reasonably comfortable with the command line, compiling and so on, are there any open source solutions perhaps? And I should add…

Thanks dfiler for the links. However, I still say that the term "anti-aliasing" is not quite right... We start off with [in theory] an infinitely high resolution image or font, then we sample it at 72dpi squares (the pixels). Taking only the cent…

So the sampling rate is each pixel (spatial sampling as opposed to "conventional" temporal sampling, I'm aware of this). Let's consider a grayscale display and only one horizontal line across the screen, so that we have the one dimensional case. …

I agree that intuitively, changing between intermediate states would take less time. Several other sites (lost in the blur of my browsing) have indicated that it took MORE time. I'll accept that it takes less nevertheless. Thanks for your reply.

What exactly does anti-aliasing mean in this context? Technically, I mean. I know it smooths texts and lines, so that words and lines are less jaggy, but how does it relate to the usual aliasing effect? The aliasing that I'm familiar with, is the…

Does anybody know the response times for the Apple displays? The Apple website only mentions brightness and contrast. Also, what about the response time of screens on the iMac, PowerBook and iBook? EDIT 1: Oops, just found above that giant alread…

The two main benefits of partitioning a hard drive (other than to support multiple OSs) are: Firstly, it is easier to backup and [mentioned earlier] faster to search. If your system partition breaks (or you want to do a clean upgrade), it leaves …

Also, wondering if anyone noticed that in the Australian website, the "special deals" for the old iMacs are actually selling for higher than the new iMacs? Both academic and normal categories. Maybe I'm missing something, but what's going on here?
-
$400 Australian drop in both models (Academic prices - I don't keep track of the normal prices when I'm eligible for academic prices). Was considering an eMac 1GHz combo with upgraded RAM to 256MB - A$1,876.60, but the 15inch iMac (also 1GHz comb…

Does anybody know how these "magic numbers" are chosen for the aspect ratios?

Oops! Yes you are right. It was Demolition Man. Good memory!

Chicken related, actually... Old story dating 10 years ago... Another thought just occured to me. Since we are more tall than wide, wouldn't it make sense to be able to rotate iSight so that it is narrower to better suit our own physical dimensi…
