  • In probably is not impossible. Trying to take down a fortress with a small band of troops is improbable, but not impossible. Currently there just isn't the easiness vs profit of doing it. Unless one of the two changes, they can talk more tr…
  • Not really. It's saying truth. Is the os invincible? Nope. But it'll be a long time before it can get anywere near the level of Windows OS. 1: Many of the exploits on windows (including spyware) are specific to windows. It will take a rad…

  • I think it's a lot of snake oil. It's the whole VPC faq thing again. A virtualization OS, can not, and I repeat, can not Access HW directly, because another OS is using it(ie, you can't shut down macosx while running parallels). The excepti…
  • Emm...not the first time they have hid the UI from a developer's release. Aqua is infamus for that. One year it was classic, the next boom, aqua. UI changes is easily kept under the hood, unlike api sets and others which developers "need to kn…
  • turn off versioncue if you don't use it, it sucks up heftly ram. cs2 is pretty intensive compared to cs1. 1gb of ram get sucked easily whi all that adobe stuff. obviously turn off sleeping hdds in energy saver if you didn't. beachball happens …
  • 64bit OS if you're doing any kind of Pro work. QT is heavily used in most people that use macs. I would probably benifit from Mail & new dashboard wiget the most at work. Reloading stupid web schedule is...how do you say, dashboard inproved. …
  • Certaintlly there are wireless USB dongles. Some with official drivers and some without... The official drivers one cost more obviously. You can use many many usb wireless dongles on the market, if you look carefully for proper drivers. …
  • It's not quite that easy to upgrade from one file system to another. HFS to HFS+ to HFS+ journaling..ZFS isn't quite so close-kin related. It is quite painful and even then ZFS is still a long way to go to support apple technologies...and car…
  • Fat32 has limits, such as the 3gig limit. There is nothing else out there unless you install independing format readers.
  • That's why almost always the cost of protecting your data is almost always proportional to the value of it. A Raid 5 system will suck up mssive CPU(in sw mode) and be plenty expensive, both in heat management and equipment cost. I recomended R…
  • Heh RAID 5 is a partial data distro type. Yea got to be careful you're making a disk img Of the whole and not one drive.
  • If you watched the WWDC demo and Alex demo VS Cepstral, Apple wins. Sure Apple would try to cherry pick their quotes, but the extra long paragraph from WWDC is a little hard to fake completely. It looks like apple(and to extent all Text2Speech…
  • Depends on the cost and flexiblity. I find it easier/cost effective to RAID 1 though you need the hdd space. After all it's what RAID was orginally ment for, preventing HW failure through distribition. Of course it doesn't prevent you from …
  • It depends. BTO is prepackaged more or less. From any source CTO from apple store may or may not be tested first. CTO from retail store will suffer from using non "apple certified" parts. Apple's been playing badguy in the underground war e…
  • Dashboard(f12) and eject do not conflict with each other. In such a case, dashboard takes piority, and to eject, you (hold) F12. It's the same for any non eject key keyboards.

  • OSX Server itself isn't that diffcult. It's all the stuff you need to do with it. Half the problems most people run into for OSX Server is like any other server, Networking. If you're not really all that scavy being a Network System admin, you…
  • Laptops tend to get messy with prolong use of intensive apps like FCP. I once had someone was FCP long on their Powerbook, and it burnt on him. Guess with a classroom, projector, and 5hrs of FCP, it was hurting. Not common, but laptops shouldn…
  • Maybe a bug, i've had that a few times. Network GUI is acting up. Usually needs time+ restart I get annoyed and just bypass it by using: Go->connect to server->type in IP address( get it through yor network control panel)
