Oh yes, most of these devices, including the one above, include RCA plugs. Sometimes the audio is provided by standard minijacks, but a $5 adapter takes care of that. Note, though, that anything you hook up to USB 1.1 or below is going to max out…

Greeneggs: It's hard to say what resolutions and refresh rates you'll be able to run. Modern monitors are plug and play, but the implementation tends to be uneven, so as I have moved from OS to OS I've found certain modes popping in or dropping …

Luca: It's buried deep, but he mentioned that the computer he wants to build will have USB2. I presume that's the reason for the card. Gives you more ports too, which is always useful. One might as well use the PCI slots, which are empty in most peo…

MCQ: Thanks very much. Now I have everything I could need. It is usually the intuitive solution on a mac, but sometimes you miss the thing by one pixel, or maybe forget to click once to set the focus first, as I seem to have done when I tried that b…

Awimoway: Absolutely, positively not. You could cut open the case and wire your own interface, I guess, but the task would be giganormous. The only way to get video into an iBook is to buy a USB TV interface, which will only get you 320x240 input…

This didn't work for me the first time I tried it on my 700 MHz iBook with Combo Drive. I zapped the PRAM and tried it again a day or two later and it worked. In the spirit of the scientific process, I should note that I did not control two variable…

No no no. Ignore booting into VPC as the primary operating system. Just forget about it. It was only a "snappy" difference in the first place, but it's been many, many years since the Finder took up enough processor cycles just idling that there'd b…

Ok, here's a counterpoint to every complaint about "too much unused flat space on the 14" iBook's palmrests."

DVDs are in fact copied by commercial DVD production equipment owned by bootlegging rings. It isn't particularly expensive. You simply set up shop, stereotypically in Hong Kong but in reality anywhere you want, and buy the facilities needed to produ…

Tired. Wrote everything everyone else wrote, but longer. Was it a hallucination? I thought this thread said something wholly different.... Weird. So ignore me. [ 08-16-2002: Message edited by: AllenChristopher ]

The most direct answer to this question, and the most rarely given, is that it depends how often and how well you wash your hands. Take a look around the doorknobs and along the stairways in your house. Lots of fingerprints? You may not wash your h…

It's not so cheap to throw CDs away in Canada. The Feds slapped a levy on all recording media to compensate Canadian music artists for losses due to piracy. It's ridiculous twice over: by far, most discs are used for business purposes and/or storing…

Yeah, I had to wipe X for other reasons and I don't want to reinstall it without waiting for Jaguar and repartitioning. Undoubtedly someone can tell us sooner...

It wouldn't really be about how much. It would be about what kind. For example, you won't get brain cancer no matter how much green light you shine on your forehead, even though that's also EM radiation. I won't get into the physics here. Just re…

My iBook has a small black space. As a result, I can show things on screen to a group of friends on each side of me without the plastic of the screen mounting occluding the outer pixels. There's also no reflection from the plastic edge when I'm w…

Some of us have hands that are rather too large for the 12.1" iBook. There isn't "too much space around the keyboard." What would you put there? It's palm rest space. You can't put buttons there because they'll be accidentally pressed. You can't put…

You can't get a modern computer that doesn't have full floating-point support in hardware. There are multiple pipes in a G4, but I don't know the details. When I was majoring in CS we were platform agnostic, and the G3 had only just been introduced.…

Forget deserving it. Company policy is that any machine that requires three major repairs is to be replaced. It's cheaper for them that way anyway. Do you really suppose new chips, motherboards, cases, fans, cooling tubes and repair labour are free?…
