  • Even when you in car - you will have to place your phone on top of dashboard, so it could see satellites.
  • Come on guys, GPS will work only outside. When you under roof (or trees, or in shadow of tall buildings, or mountains) - no signal, no coordinates. It might work if you come close to window (assuming you don't have skyscraper right in front of it). …
  • tilt, that's great, that's how it supposed to be. Now you need to make is a little secure. Make your network closed, turn on WPA and MAC filtering (you will need to specify MAC address of your notebook so AE won't let any other wifi cards to connect…
  • Have no idea if it will work with non-Apple wi-fi. I have two A.E. so...
  • You also can hook it to the switch and connect several computers to it.

  • If you can't get Airport Express, you can try same trick with any other wireless router. If they work, then there's a good chances that Airport will work too.
  • Theoretically, if you plug Airport Express to your router it will work just like if you were plugging it into cable modem. I'm not big on networks, but your wired router have DHCP and supposedly will issue new IP for Airport and Airport will create …
  • 2tilt: I think you should be able to connect AirPort to the router, just need to configure it properly. I can't provide instructions as I don't have wired router to test it.
  • Check if your Linksys can do WDS. I have following config: Mac Pro (via ethernet) -> AirPort Express (as remote base station) -> WDS -> AirPort Express (as main base station) -> Cable Modem. When setting up WDS make sure both base sta…
  • And now it's working, when I don't need it anymore. By the way I want to say thank you to 50 people who read this topic and didn't do anything to help.
  • I'm getting "Server unavailable" message. Somebody please, check if you could get info on any flight. It's 15 seconds test. And I will know if it's server fault or something wrong on my side. Thanks!
  • Mac Pro have new slot for wireless card, so can't use old ones. And I cannot quickly find anything wireless that is non-Apple, so I restored dead AirPort Express (made new 3.3v power adapter for it), configured it as WDS remote station and hook it t…
  • As it turned out that was first symptom of dying power adapter. Lately this monitor had problems waking up or turning on. To make it work I had to disconnect it from comp and power brick and leave for five minutes. Anyways, I got replacement today a…

  • Ok. First of all, Apple didn't used it for fonts. And they actually didn't used the fact that monitor tube use three different monochormatic dots to render complete colored pixel. Apple II resolution was 280 and even those subpixels were much bigger…
  • I did little research. Apple never patented subpixel rendering, but they used it in Apple ][ "to enchance screen resolution". I don't know what does it mean, but word "font" wasn't used. This technique was also used by IBM, Xerox and many others. Bu…

  • I use antialiasing whenever it available. ClearType and subpixel rendering is one of few things Microsoft did really good. I personally just can't stand pixelated fonts. But I know some people who like it or just can't tell difference. When I switch…
