    Time Machine Experts/HDD People!

    You can resize the HFS partition like this: http://osxdaily.com/2009/11/20/resize-partitions-in-mac-os-x-with-disk-utility/ Not sure about the FAT32 partition, never resized one, you may need to backup and then recreate the FAT32 partition and then put the stuff back that you copied off.

    Time Machine Experts/HDD People!

    Time machine just creates a sparse disk image on the drive (in folders because you can backup more than one machine to the same time machine backup disk), when it does a backup it mounts the sparse image (dmg) and then does its magic. There shouldn't be a problem resizing the partitions as long...

    Convert me..

    But you're saying that they cost more, I'm merely pointing out that it's not as simple as that. And not that it has anything to do with it, but no, I've never modified a car.

    Convert me..

    I'd rather have the resale price on the mbp after 3 years than the dell. My g4 PowerBook (which I still use as my main machine) still sell for 300+ on eBay, it's over 5 years old!

    O2 iPhone Contracts - Unlimited texts on 26th Feb

    Unlucky. My missus needed a new work phone, so her company phoned voda to sort it. An hour later she had a phonecall from voda wanting to know her delivery address for delivery the following day (which was a saturday). This was a couple of weeks back.

    need a AP that does G and N 5Ghz at the same time

    You can remote configure them via "Airport Utility" which comes with OSX or can be downloaded for windows. They fully support radius servers, so if you want authentication, not a problem. From the OP it sounded like it was hardly mission critical and doesn't sound like it needs overpriced...

    Airport extreme allows both N and G at the same time.

    iOS "must have" apps

    Re: iPhone "must have" apps? I was reading about this yesterday. You still need a subscription to their camera database (although it's only 15 quid or so for a year) if you want to remain up to date. The app comes with the database that was available when they submitted it and you can do a...

    Windows Mobile 7

    Exactly. It'll be interesting to see SDK to see what makes it tick. But it finally looks like there is going to be a "non toy" iPhone OS competitor. (and in other news it looks like Nokia has finally decided that the dead horse known it was flogging known as symbian is what everybody...

    Windows Mobile 7

    UI looks quite nice, what's most interesting is that they've seemingly gone the Apple route now, no third party multitasking. Most importantly though, they are going to control the OS very tightly, so OEM's cannot make massive changes to it - this is where Android fails miserably and why it'll...

    It's how you draw a b on a dot matrix display because it can't be misconstrued as anything else. But thanks for your input.

    Network Topology suggestions.

    There won't be any performance issues, your bottleneck is the adsl connection itself.

    Powerline networking

    In theory yes, just plug the comtrend into one of the LAN ports on the back and set all the options on the netgear so that it just acts as a bog standard AP. Personally I'd have gone for something that could run dd-wrt as those firmwares are excellent for applications like this.

    Powerline networking

    The feature you're after is usually known as "client bridge mode". I've searched for that in combination with dgteam and your router model and it's yielded no results. Humn.

    They have audio out (amongst other things) and iTunes can stream music to them.

    Powerline networking

    You got a link to the documentation for that firmware? My AP for the laptop is a linksys WRT54G running some sveasoft firmware, can't remember what settings it has and I can't remember its IP address either. The comtrend plugs in one of the ports on the back of the AP as does a mac mini.

    Project: RGB LED Mouse Mod

    It's an Aligent DMM, excellent piece of equipment. My tektronix scope is balancing precariously on the bench PSU behind too. Yep, it's a speed warning sign, it's running a text sequence as we didn't have the radar head connected at that point, and to be honest, you look a bit of tit swinging...

    Project: RGB LED Mouse Mod

    Make sure you buy a rainbow LED like richy posted and not a normal RGB led they'll have 4 connections and would need a PWM to control them. Here's one of my recent led projects (388 leds!) E7huEauTA2o Btw, it's also an illusion as there are only ever a few LEDs on at any given time otherwise...

    Powerline networking

    Ignore the fact it has an IP. It just acts as a transparent bridge, it will route any packets from the powerline side to the ethernet socket, and it'll route any packets from the ethernet side to the powerline.

    Powerline networking

    Yeah, I've only used it so that I can see the performance stats on the device itself, but there are various settings on it that you can enable/disable to improve reliability - oh and you can manually change the encryption keys if you really want to. I guess most people with them will never...

    Powerline networking

    They have their own IP so you can configure them, but any network packets they see they will bridge over the powerline. For example, I've got Wifi->Wifi AP->Comtrend EP->Comtrend AP->ADSL Router Plus 2 airport expresses in the mix too, everything can see everything else on the network.

    I've got six (I think) of the comtrend ones that are supplied with the BT vision boxes. I bought all of mine from ebay and paid between about £25 and £30 for a pair. When I bought them prices were all over the shop, some would go for £60, I just picked my auctions carefully, one pair I bought...

    I didn't see many, if any. To be honest when I saw the word event in quotes at the start, it was obvious that this was going to be crap. With regards to her points 1: There's no physical keyboard No s**t sherlock, it's a multitouch tablet, by definition they don't have keyboards. 2: This...
