  • Doesn't it need to be a lower-case letter? I think that's what I don't like about the name "XServe". It's a big, frickin' X! That's not right. Compare: xServe XServe

  • I burn (and have burned) a lot of CD-R's. I buy my spindles from rima.com. They're inexpensive and I've never had a customer service problem with them. They are fast and curteous. For brands, I prefer either Pengo (as other's mentioned) or Prodis…

  • Japhy, I was going to say "RAM problem" awhile back, but (I think) you said you switched out modules, etc. and it still happened. Your symptoms sound to very much to me like bad RAM. More than bad disk, but that could be it too. I'd investigate t…

  • When you're building your house you have a lot of stuff to think about and a very short time to install everything. When your house is done, and you move in, LOTS of things will change from the way you planned to hook things up. Try to come up wi…

  • I say CS. Believe it or not, there's a lot more to CS than coding. Later in your life, if you decide you don't like it so much, you can switch to IT/IS pretty easily. It's harder to go the other way. However, my feeling is, if you decide you don…

  • I would say it's a little too convincing to be considered satire. The first time I read it, I was sure it was real. Really crazy, that is. As in, whoever put it together totally believed what they were saying, and that they were, clearly, bonkers. N…

  • I switched once (had to, for work). In my experience, it turned out the "Mac way" really is worth the price difference. Yes, I was surprised too. I mean, you think to yourself, "they're both computers, how much difference could there really be? F…

  • OS X is a hard switch for an OS 9 expert. I can't remember where I read it (DAMN!), but Apple has said that OS X's way of doing things is easier for new users. From the context (WISH I COULD REMEMBER WHERE I READ THIS!!!). it seemed like they had…
