  • DO NOT USE A REFRESH RATE HIGHER THAN THE ONE OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED BY YOUR MONITOR. Doing so will shorten the life of your monitor significantly and can cause video errors. I heard this on the Screensavers recently.

  • Well, I just reinstalled Panther after expierencing some wierd bugs. I didn't enable FileVault this time, and it's been smooth sailing so far, except escapepod seems broken on my machine. Keeps crashing

  • I wonder if Dell is going to keep selling iPods, now that they have their own player? I bet this discount is simply to clear their inventory. I doubt iPods will be for sale through Dell much longer.

  • Panther sucks. I backed up a bunch of folders with custom icons before doing a clean install. Now, Panther can't see the icons. All I get are generic folders. They were nice icons too, and I forgot where I got them

  • God damit! I have a sawtooth with Geforce4 MX too. Good thing I haven't installed Panther on it yet, and good thing I kept the old Rage 128 video card. I guess I'll swap them until either Apple or NVIDIA come up with a fix.

  • I was having the same problem with Backup yesterday, but now it seems to be working. However, there's another problem. Apparently, if you're using FileVault, Backup won't let you add folders from your Home directory to the back up list. Only the pre…

  • For you conspiracy theorists out there, there's no such thing as a G4 without Altivec.
    in iBook G4 Comment by kecksy October 2003
  • No, I believe the iBooks are using Motorola's MPC7445. If the iBook was using a new version of IBM's 750, it would have more than 256K of L2 cache. The previous generation iBooks had 512K of L2 cahce and used the 750FX processor. The replacement to …

  • Yes, Apple's lead with the iTMS reminds me a lot of the lead Apple had with the graphical user interface in the 1980s. Fortunately, Steve Jobs isn't going to leave Apple like he did back then, which I think had a lot to do with the Macintosh's failu…

    in Applications broken by Panther Comment by kecksy October 2003
  • If Apple ever does go back to the 750 series, it will be when they support Altivec. I suspect Macs could use the 750VX, which will be called a G4, once Apple moves it's entire professional lineup to the G5.
    in What's to Become of the 750GX? Comment by kecksy October 2003
  • Hate to break the party, but Apple is still selling the G3 iBook. Pretty nice deal, for $899.

  • Windows users at my school are required to have a firewall installed on there computer in order to be given access to the Internet. It helps reduce the number of viruses and P2P. I guess the firewall will block iTunes Music Sharing also if you don't…

  • Interesting, at my school, I haven't noticed any difference. Still only six other playlists on the network. I guess people are happy with Winamp, or whatever crap they use.

  • Besides Photoshop, none of those applications are optimized for the Macintosh. They're heavily optimized for the PC, and that's why they're faster. I don't know why they benchmarked with Premier. No Mac user uses Premier. The G5 will look better onc…
