  • I've managed to fill my need to have a digital on demand movie storage device and it cost me nothing that what I already had; a series 2 TiVo, and a macbook (or any decent mac). I encoded my movies into MPEG4 using Handbrake and put them on my NA…

  • The OP is missing one important realization... he got what he paid for.

  • I've had great results with my WRT54G and then the sveasoft firmware to crank the output from 42 mw to 250 mw (max). Heck my wifi hits the parking lot when I want it to!

  • Bringing clarity to your world should officially be changed to: Bringing a new round of viruses, spyware, security holes, and bugs to your world... eventually. Oh, and you'll pay for it too. Did we forget to mention we stripped most of the fea…
    in Longhorn = WindowsVista vs. Apple's codename? Comment by a@ron July 2005
  • For my 35mm wedding photos I took the negatives to walgreens and they scanned them for $2.99 a cd/roll. Well worth it since I did not have to front the money for hardware. Oh and the best part is they were done in an hour.

  • I do not consider Tiger to be released prematurely. There comes a time when some bugs become acceptable. I, however, do think Apple could have avoided some of the mess with iSync, Address book and some other small networking things (like SMB) if the…
    in Tiger ? Prematurely released? Comment by a@ron May 2005
  • Quote: Illegal copying suggestion quote removed - JL not morally or legally... but technically there is nothing built into the OS to really stop you, other than possibly copy protection on the DVD.
    in Tiger and 5 college kids.... Comment by a@ron April 2005
  • keep in mind that Apple also has to have the GM nailed down at a specific date to hit a ship date. They need time to press the DVDs. This might be the reason they would be working on a 10.4.X build, to fix minor bugs found in the GM. Come on it's no…

  • Quote: Originally posted by valmad So what are developers, who have a legal copy of Panther permitted to do? Can they talk about Panther? What are the limitations that they have agreed to? As I understand it all developers are under NDA (Non-D…
    in Panther 7B** Builds Discussion (images on page 2 & 5) Comment by a@ron August 2003
  • For clarification I've only heard that the Seadnote for 10.2.7 is posted. NOT any physical upgrade image. This may be due to the fact that 10.2.7 was internally tested and deemed "good enough" to be installed on soon to be shipping machines. However…

  • Quote: Originally posted by sc_markt Heck I'm still using OS 8.6. And I don't think you can't even buy OS 9 anymore. Sure you can... right here. Its funny though that not even developers have access to the disk images of OS 9 anymore on ADC...…

  • Well two options... 1) Ask OWC. If the info they give you is wrong then you could return it for that reason maybe. 2) Send your machine to me and I could test it. A@ron
    in panther and CPU upgrade Comment by a@ron August 2003
  • Simple answer: If you can wait, wait. If not, don't. I would never make a purchase decision soley on one rumor. 256 MB should do you fine with the G5 or even 512 if you feel like spending money. Just don't buy the extra ram from apple... they are…

  • Probibly just a loose connection somewhere I'd take it apart again, this time being damn sure all the connections are in solid. It cannot be any worse then non-functional can it? So really what have you got to lose? A@ron

    in Silly question about the G5-- does the power button pulse? Comment by a@ron July 2003
  • I'm just glad to hear confirmation that IBM and Apple have a roadmap for the future of the PPC. After so long with MOT and the stagnation, it felt like neither company had a business plan for the future. With IBM I have more faith that they will not…
