    in Any word on Panther's requirements? Comment by reid June 2003
  • Quote: Originally posted by PB DP 867 or better, and DP1GHz is recommended. Sheesh, Dual 867 or better? There's only one model you can even buy right now that meets those requirements. They're definitely going to have to bring those down if th…

    in The PowerMac G5 thread Comment by reid June 2003
  • Um, you guys all see that the finder window still has the Icon/List/Column view buttons in the toolbar, right? So, with the exception of brushed metal and moving your "favorite places" icons from the toolbar down to a clearly hideable pane at the le…

  • Since we're all bitching: YOU'RE means "you are" YOUR means "your" (possessive) Oh, and apostrophes are not for pluralizing. Guess they don't teach spelling in engineering school. Thank you.
    in A War is NeXT Comment by reid June 2003
  • I've been happy with it on a G3 500 iBook and a G3 233 iMac. Only ever notice occasional spinning cursors in the finder when doing copy/move/delete/etc with large numbers of files, everything else seems to work snappily. And I only have about 300MB …

    in WMA to AIFF or MP3 Comment by reid May 2003
  • This distortion is not necessarily caused by the compression in AAC. More likely, it's a function of the iTunes "Sound Enhancer" and/or "Sound Check" features. When these features are enabled, iTunes reads the digital recording, it looks for spikes …
    in iTMS: Satisfied with bit-rate? Comment by reid May 2003
  • Why are you shutting down, anyway? Just use energy saver to let the machine sleep after a period of inactivity, and wake it up when you need it. On all of the modern (since 1999 or 2000) Macs, sleep mode is effectively the same as shutting down in t…
    in Finally: Scheduled Startup & Shutdown Comment by reid April 2003
  • Is single-user mode the same as console mode, where the screen is entirely black with a command-line terminal? If so, you can get into this from the login screen. If your login screen displays the list of users, click on the "Other" user (you can…
    in Command to Restart in Single User Mode? Comment by reid April 2003
  • Cash and stock are not the only ways to buy a company. Generally, with big mergers like this one, a good chunk of the selling price is actually the assumption of debt. Don't freak out hearing that word; corporate debt isn't exactly the same thing as…

  • Quote: Originally posted by averagezen If you already have a Linksys, I would go with the WET-11. Does the WET-11 act as a repeater? I don't want to have to buy two boxes (bridge + another ap/router) just to extend my wireless range. Notic…
