Are you on about the window opening and closing effect? if so, start terminal, then type: defaults write com.apple.finder DisableAllAnimations -bool YES Log out and back in again (or relaunch the finder process).

What animation?!!

Here's a cool one. Ctrl+Command+D over a word and it looks it up in the dictionary. Try it in any cocoa application.

The house and the fishing ones are cool.

You can turn/modify some in Apple Menu->Dock->Dock Preferences

AV geeks will denounce science as wichcraft. "I've spent £400 on a cable, therefore it must be better than a £5 one"

Slightly OT.... Audio Visual manufacturers must wet themselves that they've got such discerning (read: "gullible") customers. They're some of the worst offenders for crapness with what you can't see, what do you think your lovely shiny gold plated connections are connected to internally...

I'm sure a PC owner will be along soon to spout crap. Congratulations on the purchase.

They have one built in. There is also the amazing "little snitch" which is a application level firewall.

I've seen a UPS take out some servers. It was back in the novell era, never seen so many worried faces. Turns out when the server ran its backup, it logged in across the network to the machine machine. Unfortunately the login it was using was logged in somewhere else on the network and the...

Couldn't agree more. ;)

I agree - for non random data transfers, chuck in small "random" reads an firewire will piss all over USB all day long. The problem with USB is that it's a really poorly designed system, nice ideas - just badly executed. The problem is exaccerbated by Microsoft whos driver model is just poor...

I'm guessing you're using smtp authentication to send email which is why it works outbound, they let anything through if you're trusted to the server. It's an email server configuration issue, the domain needs to be added to their mail server configuration. At present their mail server does...

Who knows. You'd have to tell us what backup software you're using!

Airport express does what you want. 1) Plug it in. 2) Enter in your wireless network details 3) Plug printer into it. 4) Print. It also has audio out so that you can stream music to it from iTunes.

We've got an airport express which our printer is plugged into. Infact we have 2 of them because the main use is for stream music from iTunes to different rooms.

Yeah. I don't know what the fuss is. There's plenty of websites where you just paste the youtube link and then just save the resulting file.

IPX/SPX rocks. I wrote loads of software for netware back in the day. Anybody remember trumpet winsock?!

There's only one search engine worth being on...google. And your rank on google is based on a number of factors (some are secret), but the major thing that'll push you up is having other sites link to you. But that's not the end of it, google ranks the sites that link to you, so more links...

Yeah. My old powerbook keeps thundering along....

Crikey. :eek: I've not seen a kernel panic since puma...and I caused that myself while writing a kernel driver.

windows w**k firewall? Try disabling that on both machines. Try pinging from both directions as well.

You'll have to give more information than that! * Is the laptop connected? * Is the router giving DHCP allocated IP's. * Is the laptop on the same subnet as the main pc.

Yep. Done that, worked fine. What's your point?

Like the one of the grill.

Not actually looking to buy one, if I was it'd be an Apple laptop anyway! They had their display stand in the fruit and veg and the 2MB caught my eye!

You would think so wouldn't you. I noticed it as we were going up the escalator, couldn't resist taking a photo when I back down the bottom. While I was taking the pic there was a bloke there telling his wife what a great laptop it was! I'd love 2MB of RAM on some of the stuff I work on...

I pissed myself when I saw it. My girlfriend failed to see the funny side!

Zero chance! My point was more to do with SSL/TLS. Just because you see a padlock on your web browser, you shouldn't assume that you have a nice secure connection, you should always verify the certificate yourself.

Sorry for the crap phone picture!
