  • You bet they do... the power buttons have pulsed for a long while and there is no reason to change it now. I can remember Cubes and B&Ws pulsing... A@ron

  • I don't think I am going to touch the licquid cooling subject with a 10 foot pole. However, distilled water will not conduct any electricity (no free charged ions to transmit energy). You could run a computer just fine inside a tank of ion free wate…

  • I dont know that sounds semi-dumb to me. I think that if I have a webcam with video and audio and my friend has only audio that if I wanted to he should be able to at least see the video. I don't get why they limit it to equal types of connections b…

  • Ok one problem. When I'm trying to one way video chat with someone who only has a microphone and I have my Logitec USB Cam and my Logitec USB headset microphone (yes its the SOCOM one). They cannot hear me even though I have it set to use the headse…

  • Xserves are meant to be kept in a climate controlled server room not under a desk. That being said here is a comparison... Have you heard a MDD (FW800) on top speed? yeah its like that all the time. You might want to invest in a g4 cube or old g3. S…

  • Just for everyone's general knowledge... the inital macintosh start-up chime is in B flat and is meant to be like an orchestra warming up (IIRC). It draws a nice correlation between the warming up of an orchestra and of a computer. A@ron

  • Greeaaattt... EverCrack (um EverQuest) for free initally to get you hooked and then that monthly fee to make you pay. Sounds like a logical drug dealer approach of get you hooked on the free samples only to hike up the price on your addiction A…
    in .mac renewal, get free Sims or Everquest. Comment by a@ron July 2003
  • There may be a cheap way to petina the case. When I took a stained glass course we used petina solutions to change the natural color of the solder to either black or a copper color. Sorry no blue colors as far as I know. The stuff is only $15 a bott…
    in How do I go about anodizing my new G5 (when I get one) Comment by a@ron June 2003

    in Anyone got info on 'Q6'? Comment by a@ron June 2003
  • Barto, I completely understood what you were saying from your first post in this thread. BlackRider is the G5 cabible build of 10.2 Server. I think they will be released soon as the second revision of the PM G5's. Generally, companies don't put thei…

  • One small thing that is bothering me about the box pictures... there is no visable outer damage from shipping, no visable smudges from shipping, and no shipping label on the top (that I can tell) or a packing list for that matter (they may have opte…

  • Well I've got OpenFT, FastTrack, and Gnutella all working on one app. It took a lot of work in the terminal but there are some good directions on the net. Step 1: download fink Step 2: install gift Step 3: install the FastTrack plugin Step 4:…

  • In addition, the month is about half over and that means that Apple has 1/2 a month to get the rest of the big 5 to sign windows iMS contracts. I doubt this would be possible since most of the big 5 still sees the Mac iMS as an experiment that has n…

    in 970 - compelling naming scheme Comment by a@ron May 2003
  • Apple Centaury sounds too much like century. I can see the WinTel camp going off on the fact that our computers are "centuries behind theres". We could follow the Intel camp and name our chip and computer an inert gas... Apple Argon 970, or possibly…
