• Omnigraffle Visio (and can import visio). Hacking the iPod into a PDA still has to be proven, I wouldn't be too set on that idea. And text gets to the point faster than listening to things (searchable).

• Tomato torrent has an undocumented feature called "TCP fudge rate" or something. I'm not 100% sure what it does, but I think it delays the application from writing to the TCP stack. Thus you can artificially increase your download:upload ratio (some…

• Should work if you store the iTunes music library file and xml file. But make sure all music goes into the same relative directory it was in before, or iTunes may not find files.

• I second LaTeX, it's by far the best method of writing reports, especially with scientific parts. And BibTeX is great for managing bibliographies. Though it will take some time to get used to these packages, but once you do, you'll wonder why people…

• There is FTP (see system preferences, sharing), but you wont be able to write to them in the finder. Better way to do it is to use AFP (personal file sharing) if all the computers are Macs. If there are PCs, use SMB (windows file sharing), and you c…

• Yes, I was referring to making a title under a figure when referring to captions. The http underlining can be undone by hitting cmd+z right after it highlights it, annoying but it's a small fix (works in word too).

• I find that using MathType is great as an equation editor, you can just copy the equations and paste them into Pages and works flawlessly. You can also copy it back into MathType and edit it again. Anyone find an easy way to caption figures in Pa…

• No problem in leaving your computer on all the time. You may not want the HDD to go to sleep, as having it spin up/down is a source of fatigue, and the OS may write to the HDD at random times.

• RAID is a method of combining multiple hard disks to do something interesting (there are different schemes you can implement). One common RAID is to combine two (or multiple) disks and make them act as one disk, this almost doubles your hard disk re…

• Well on a mac (and I've done this before because a friend forgot his admin password), you would have to boot into open firmware (hold cmd+s at startup). Then you modify the sudoers file with visudo (which is a pain to figure out how to use) such tha…
