Crap encryption on it though. This one by the same manufacturer has much better encryption. http://solwise.co.uk/net-powerline-av-push.htm

fo shizzle. I just like to be explict! sudo FTW! (<- my first and last use of that particular word)

I wouldn't want to be running FCP on a macbook.....

sudo rm -R -f / All you need to know in a nutshell.

It'll be nasty (been there, tried it one evening when I was bored), I really wouldn't bother!

Not strictly true.... A given frequency will have many channels multiplexed onto it, technically the box could record mutliple channels on the frequency you are tuned to....

I assume iDvd uses the quicktime components for import. MPEG2 is covered by all sorts of licensing so isn't bundled with the OS, it's an add on which is £20 or so. If you don't feel like paying for it, then some other open source solution (like something mentioned above) will probably allow...

"utter junk" is motorolas middle name. (if they had a middle name that is)

Mine was this, the nokia nk502. The phone from the matrix (way before the matrix came out though).

Only preferences in ~/Library, which doesn't matter. If you're really bothered you can just go in there and drag those to the trash as well.

Double Yes. OS X isn't crap like windows.

Don't you just create a new image which is the size of the entire desktop and paste in both of the images you want into that?

You can't, at least not without third party software. Just search on google and you'll find software.

I'd imagine he'd want it in NC format.

Boot camp is no longer available stand alone, it was only available as a beta prior to release of Leopard as it's actually a leopard feature.

:) Actually, the coolest device driver I ever wrote was for the Nios processor (ucLinux because of a lack of a MMU), this is soft-core IP that runs on an FPGA, so you basically sit there in the "builder software" and select what features and peripherals you want your processor to have, few...

Then again, it wasn't 4 foot thick with fans the size of a windfarm on it either. ;) Swings and roundabouts, you make it thinner then you have to accept that there is less thermal mass to help cool it.

I jest.... To be honest, even officially supported drivers can be very hit and miss. A couple of years ago a project I was working on used a PCI RS485 card and I found all sorts of problems with the official linux drivers, to the point where the product was completely unusable - which is odd...

<troll mode enabled> Hasn't windows and mac os been doing this for years? <troll mode disabled> :p ;)

If it's a crap dongle that might be true, most dongles these days are considerably more complex than an "eeprom".

I write a piece of software that is protected by a dongle (I also wrote the dongle code too). The dongle is the software license, therefore if you want another one you have to buy another copy of the software. We offer discount on more than one license, but obviously other software vendors...

The words "dream on" spring to mind. Won't happen, iPhone price is fixed by apple, short and simple - apple are in charge of the sales here.

1) Select program, Apple+Backspace to send to trash. Job done. 2) Don't think you can. Try google. 3) Not sure, not in front of a mac at the moment. Safari has a pr0n browsing mode anyway. From the safari mode select "Private Browsing", won't store anything from that point on until you...

This particular modem was crap under windows too, just like the thomson/alcatel support. You couldn't install updated drivers unless you had the cd to "verify" you had the modem, which put you s**t out of luck if you'd lost it and wanted to download new ones! Barring "bizarre" devices...

You have to buy another copy. The OEM license is tied to the hardware it was "sold" with. Edit: And unless you have a really good reason for installing 64 I wouldn't bother. I've found all sorts of gui issues with 32 bit applications running under it that don't exist on the 32 bit version of...

There's geek...and then there's Mac geek. ;)

It'll be fine.

It's more a precuation and given your past history with hard drives and such like it's probably recommended if you've got an external drive!

Yeah, although I think that's because you are used to how it looked in tiger, you get used to it.
