If I remember correctly, you can insert a carriage return by simply inserting "& return". Eg: set item1 to "hello" set item2 to "goodbye" set item3 to item1 & return & item2

I believe you can directly edit your /etc/services file. This is probably frowned upon, but I'm pretty sure it works. Your router might support port forwarding/translation, but most off-the-shelf models don't, so you're probably out of luck with tha…

Stay stay stay away from Windows Media Player. That thing is a unadulterated turd. Delete WMP and download Flip4mac. It's a plugin for quicktime that will allow (relatively) seamless playback. I don't think WMP is even supported any more for t…

What is it with people spilling stuff on their macbooks today? Unfortunately, you're probably screwed now. By leaving your MBP "a week to dry", you gave all of that wine (a very nasty substance as far as circuitry & computer components goes o…

water + macbook = "sorry pal, you're f*cked" Your best bet it to take it to pieces, as I can guarantee there's water sitting on some components. Unless this was distilled water, and even eventually then, it's going to act as a conductor. Assuming…

FAT32 is a format Macs can read/write from. There's about half a dozen or so you can choose from, but you're problem lies in the fact that whatever format you choose also has to be mountable by a PC. FAT32 fills that requirement, but is inherently …

Sounds like you have a failing fan. Generally it takes a while before they go bad, but hey, stuff happens. I would definitely take it back. A dying fan in a month-old machine is a definite problem.

A completely superficial note: Heatsinks on the FB-DIMMs are considerably smaller, probably because of the massive cooling throughput present in rackmounts.

Delete the com.apple.screensaver preference file in your (userfolder)/Library/Preferences folder. That should do the trick.

If you're not concerned about speed, look around for a dead CRT-era G3 iMac. The flyback transformers in these models are notorious for dying, and you can usually pick up a perfectly functional (sans monitor of course) iMac dirt cheap. eBay for exam…

The master/slave configuration is set by the position of jumpers on the back of the physical drive. (see here) Set the HD to "master" and the SuperDrive to "slave". The existing drive(s) might be set to "CS" or "Cable Select" as defined by the po…

The primary focus of lab I work in is NMR, and until I came along, every new member got two PC's: a windows machine for daily work, and a Linux box for processing NMR data. I told my PI that all I needed was a Mac, as it could do both. It took a …

Make sure the master/slave settings for the HD and SuperDrive don't conflict.

Yep, as long as it's within the size limits I mentioned.
