    in Apple unveils Mac mini Core Duo Comment by qchem February 2006
  • If you manage to get past the apple setup screen, then all you need to do is add a user to the admin group (I guess this would work from single-user mode). With your disc partition mounted, do this: niutil -appendprop / /groups/admin users erica …
    in computer completely messed up!!!!!! pleeeease help! Comment by qchem January 2006
  • I'm not so sure the software licence will offer that kind of flexability - as you're running it on a separate machine you should probably have to buy a new licence.

    in technical reason for lack of gaming support? Comment by qchem September 2005
  • Quote: Originally posted by superted Yup, same trouble with GIMP here as well, tried a clean install of the app but to no avail. I've found that if I actually leave it long enough it'll load (somewhere around a minute for me on a 1.8GHz iMac)…
    in Apple releases Mac OS X 10.4.1 Update Comment by qchem May 2005
  • Updated and most things seem fine, except: GIMP (the gimp.app package) hangs as it tries to draw the splashscreen. emacs (the version linked to from the OS X dowloads page) crashes on start up. Anyone else noticing these? [EDIT]Update: T…

  • Um, how is a crate wrapped in black plastic news? That could be anything... I obviously missed my kool-aid this morning!

  • I like crumplers range of bags. IMHO they look great and at the same time don't look obviously like a laptop bag - less chance someone will try to steal it!
    in Travelling abroad this summer. What to carry it all in?? Comment by qchem April 2005
  • The system doesn't require pairs, but supposedly to get 128-bit performance (whatever that means for mem) you need a matched pair. I'm currently running 768MB until I feel like I should upgrade the 256 to a 512.
    in iMac G5 Memory Question, yet another Comment by qchem April 2005
  • It doesn't play aac at all, just mp3 and wma. Without itunes smart playlists etc, is this actually going to be anywhere near as useable?

  • For the simple sync of files you might want to take a look at unison, it works with directories on linux and windows too (handy for keeping the same bookmarks on different platforms). Scheduling tasks between different processors over the interne…
    in Who needs a PB G5 if..... Comment by qchem March 2005
  • Usually they are the same, but not always. Tar (the t in tgz) simply creates an archive of files and was originally used for backing up to tapes. Gzip actually compresses files or archives.
    in .tgz and .gz question Comment by qchem March 2005
  • It would take some redoing to get a HD iMac at 23", the HD resolution(s) doesn't match the native resolution (or any of the other resolutions available to me) of a 23" flat-panel. If you're already changing resolutions on iMacs/OS X then why not …
    in 23" iMac, when? Comment by qchem March 2005
  • I have no idea about US IP law (such as copyright, patents etc) or other US laws, but if apple has no patent on the design of the iPod shuffle whats to stop such rip-offs? I'm not advocating it, just wondering..

  • It's my understanding that wireless networks are only as quick as the slowest member. If you had a g base station connected to both b and g clients the entire network would run at b speeds. Of course if you switched the b client off you'd get g spee…

  • AFAIK there is no frontpage for mac, and considering its horrible compliance to the web standards that may be a blessing in disguise. I know it's an added expense but you could check out freeway expense (theres a free demo). I believe that adobe …
    in will pc programs work on my new mac? Comment by qchem March 2005
  • Has anyone looked into how album artwork is stored? It may actually be rolled into the aac file - I could see this taking something like 200K. I'm just speculating though.
    in why does iTunes add 200KB to my songs when i add CD Cover Artwork? Comment by qchem March 2005
  • I'd still consider it sensible to make a back of anything you'd really miss if anything went pearshaped, better safe than sorry.
