Perhaps we will see speed bumps announced on Tuesdays in a months time or so once the iShuffle and mMac furor has settled a bit. I would hope so anyways. Dobby.

Hopefully it will. You could probably get about 200 per rack! Dobby.

Considering the Mouse and Keyboard cost about $30 each it would put the price up alot. You can buy a USB mouse and keyboard for $5-7 together from the right sites or use an existing one etc. Memory could be a problem but if it is 333mhz DDR then a …

I think SE was the best of Win98, well, better than ME anyway. SMC shouldn't be a problem. Try driversguide (login driver password all used to work instead of registering) for the driver or SMC itself. Dobby.

A 15" is too small a display. A cheaper 17" would be better. Dobby.

But Mac's don't have a Floppy drive! Dobby.

I remember reading on the website fo the English company that 'discovered' OLED's that they only had a lifespan of approx 5000 hours which is too short compared to the 10,000+ hours of a non OLED screen. For home use a 5000 hour lifespan would suff…

More importantly is what networking can you do without one. No MAC address no network. Dobby.

It still can't display pdfs built from an fdf thats retained on the server. Damn! Dobby.

Can anybody explain those hand guestures that the hip-hop/rap crowd makes. Do they actually mean anything? Is it some sort of piss take on Italians (no offense). Dobby.

Although we are now an indesign house (since Indesign 2.0), our mac ops can knock up a document (or whatever) in quark faster than in Indesign. Some prefer indesign and some quark. I prefer Textedit. There should only be one font for them all! D…

1. These are not the standard permissions. They should be 755 and owner and group the same name. 2. Staff only contains root. You manually have to add users to staff. 3. id returns the groups for that process. It doesn't list users in the group. I…

I can see Apples problem. Now that this 'rumour' is out other companies who can't think up their own product will do a copy cat and be better prepared to roll out an equivilent product leaving Apple with a very short profit term. I doubt possible …

I'll take the risk and hope that the code is fully 1.4.2 compatible. Roll on 10.4 Dobby.

Do this. open terminal and su - root (you can sudo each and every command if you want). cd /var/db/netinfo tar cf local_nidb.tar local.nidb cd (takes you home) copy the next line(s) to a tmp file say nobody.txt nobody:*:-2:-2::0:0:Unprivileged…

I suppose having BSD code exempts Apple from SCO's silly 'I think I own System V' Crusade. Dobby.

Do you have any network drives? Do you authenticate against a different machine? Check also /Library/StartupItems. Do you have a huge tif or eps as your desktop picture? Dobby.

You could also sudo passwd root enter your login pwd and change the root passwd then su - and you have root access. If you have a program that parses commands then put a sticky bit on it and give it 555 permission and you have a backdoor to the mac…
