  • Quote: Originally posted by Sailfish LaCie has that Big Extreme, which is two 500GB drives RAID O (striped) in one housing to give it speed. With a whopping 1 TB of perhaps very sensitive data, it begs the question. If RAID O is so unrelia…
  • Thing I hate most about these Sony digital walkman products is that it natively plays ONLY atrac. Everything else gets transcoded to atrac on your computer, and thus you have to use their crappy software. Like them using Memory Stick when everyone e…
  • Exxxcellent... Smithers, release the hounds.

  • Quote: Originally posted by PB I wouldn't say so. nVidia cards are known to be strong in OpenGL. And that's what xbench lets you understand. For example, look at the OpenGL results for a 12" Powerbook 867 MHz, with a Geforce4 Go, and a 15" Powerb…
  • I have a new Moto V500, which has Bluetooth, but is not supported by iSync yet. I use OnSync to transfer my address book over, which to me is the most useful thing about having BlueTooth. Apple's BlueTooth File Exchange program also works transferri…
  • If you can't get it working, you can always turn it into a MacQuarium.
  • I decided as a spur of the moment thing to get a mini (I already have a 30G). Well guess what, nobody has them. Apple's web site quotes 3-5 weeks (regular buyer or student discount), the local Apple store has no idea when they'll get more, all the o…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Barto If DVD forum is going to allow copying to personal devices, why not just allow transfer - by licensed software - from the original, high quality source? This fact alone makes me pessimistic about any softening on…
  • I think you can get polycarbonate polish (for polishing things like moto helmet faceshields) that'll do the job. Auto finish polish will also do the job, since they have a mild abrasive (by definitiion, as opposed to waxes).
  • I also noticed that ALL sizes of studio displays are on sale in the refurb section of the US Apple Store. This is the first time I've actually seen ANY refurb displays for sale.
  • Frame was one of the most useful programs a few years back for me. Too bad they couldn't release a OS X Frame based on the old NEXTSTEP version.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Fellowship It is not lost jobs that is sad so much as the fact that people are more isolated with the advent of this kind of use of machines. Part of the appeal of going to Starbucks to get a coffee is the whole "ha…
  • Toast can do it, I think.

  • Quote: Originally posted by dstranathan Does OS X have an equivalent dir? In BSD land, it's Code: /usr/share/skel Though that directory is empty in my copy of OS X.
  • Quote: Originally posted by kneelbeforezod If you're willing to drop the $$, you can get the p900 from a couple of places online. Try www.gsmphonesource.com or the US store on www.expansys.com. Keep in mind that these places sell unlocked hand…
  • Quote: Originally posted by piwozniak With new ABS you can extend the range by adding directional/or omnidirectional antenna. The Belkin Omni sucks. It sits in a box in my closet now. There's a hack that you can do to it to greatly improve it…
  • P1000? I can't even get my hands on a P900 (from a cell phone co. in the US, that is) yet. Why don't they make things actually available before they announce new models? For that matter, is the GSM Treo 600 available in the US yet? The cell phone…
