  • A sparse disk image is one that is normally X bytes but only takes the number of bytes actually in use. In other words, if you create a 40GB sparse disk image, it will report that 40GB free (give or take some overhead, of course), but the disk image…

  • I have an unlocked GSM Treo 650, it works as advertised, except for the following proviso regarding certain fields in the Palm contacts database (which actually applies to any recent Palm and is a longstanding issue with non-Palm conduits): http:…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Messiah 30" remains at £2,099 (83% of its original launch price) Well, what can you do, it's the only game in town. In the 20-24" market, there is competition, the most obvious of which is Dell; there is no such alt…

  • Too bad Apple didn't adopt the method that Digital took for their Alpha systems, which was to put in enough of a x86 emulator in the system firmware to be able to initialize a video card using it's native x86 BIOS (and then to let the OS take it fro…

  • Also, having an 20" Cinema Display with an ADC connector helps a lot. Though I also have an L-shaped desk, so I can stuff most of the cables in the corner section where it can't be seen.

  • Anybody know of a five button BlueTooth mouse that's ambidextrous? The MS and Logitech ones are both right-handed only.

  • Palm syncing on OS X is problematic, and by problematic, I mean, sucky. First there's this issue: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/palm/note/00a.html Plus, I am finding that on Tiger (10.4.1) I cannot get new addresses to sync to my Treo (in eith…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Telomar That's why it is so slow transferring. Can't say on the other issues. Yes that is correct. Transcoding (or in your case, encoding) takes a fair amount of CPU. I keep most of my MP3s at ~192kbps/VBR, and cl…
