You'll have to be very choosy with your choice of codec as you require a analgoue data over it. Is this the only box or is it multiroom?

By any chance are is this a multiroom installation? If so then it has to be connected to the same telephone line as the other box. They call home to make sure that the boxe are in the same house and that you're not pulling a fast one by splitting a subscription with a mate. It's in the T&C's...

I used these: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=401893 They have a switch for voice or data. The sky installer was happy with them and the callback worked without problem. However, as you need them by monday you have a problem because the sky installer won't install...

Business line he said, call minder isn't very professional!

Word of warning. You'll want some semi-decent hardware to run it on, I wouldn't recommend digging out that old Pentium II 166!

Yep or VOIP or both. What you need is an FXO card, look in the asterisk FAQ and you'll find loads. Digium (the people who originally wrote asterisk) sell them, alternatively many PCI isdn modem cards can be used. Once asterisk has detected the card you can set up the routing on it. You can...

trixbox does this and more, it's an open source pbx. We use this.

It has a harddisc and content can be downloaded and played back from the device. It supports h264 and mpeg4, it doesn't support divx. There were hacks for it (which meant opening the box and mounting the drive on a mac) which allowed divx playback providing you made a quicktime container for...

It's actually against the terms and conditions of your contract with sky to use another router.....which is why the login information is pre-loaded into the router and not publicly available, apart from the hacks which allow you to retrieve it. If you login to the router (use the supplied...

Humn. Mine worked straight out of the box, router is upstairs and laptop is in the dining room. Have you tried changing the channel on the router?

I know. It's irritating. I don't go into every "I've got a windows problem" post on here and start giving some uneducated opinion on Windows that I've heard from bobs uncles best mates brothers sister in laws brother down the pub. I find it amusing that the windows users feel the need to...

Then count yourself lucky, this has nothing to do with computer literacy! You must have very little installed then! (Probably for the best under Windows ;) :p) Don't you get bored swapping discs and answering wizard questions installing? It's much easier just to copy the applications...

It's much easier than that. Trash the program in the applications folder. Trash the program data in the ~/Library folder. Job done.

It's actually nothing to do with the user base. It's everything to do with the architecture of the OS which makes a virus pretty pointless in that it would be impossible for it to infect anything without the end user doing something really dumb, like allowing something their friend sent them...

No need. Mac OS doesn't use a crappy hacked version of a 1980's FAT filesystem.

A mac will read a windows formatted iPod no problem: You can only format (i.e setup) a Mac format iPod on a mac, you can't format it to windows, so if you want a Windows format iPod you have to do the initial firmware update & format on a PC. I'm not sure if this second one applies anymore...

You could just do a reinstall and select "archive" when you boot from the install disc. This will reinstall OS X and move your old installation to older named "Previous System". Once you've reinstalled you can copy across what you want. No need for an external drive. Just be careful that...

Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management Then in the tree: Shared Folders Sessions <- click on this. Should show who is connected to what share.

But then we'd have to club you to death with a baby seal!

(cough)

They run under ScummVM anyway, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Actually, this appears to be the best I can offer... http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/25612 May well do enough for what you want.

No problem. Can you imagine the agony of trying to do that under windows?!

http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031021123427554#comments is the best I can offer.

Something already in the cache or you want to grab a website now? If it's the second one then "httrack" is the answer.

Yes and Yes! Those two are enough to re-create your old user account. None of this registry crap!

And if you want to keep your mail and stuff (if you use "mail") then just replace the one in the new systems library with the one from your old system, that way you don't have to re-enter or re-import mail.

Yep. Btw. The library folder I'm talking about is the one inside your home folder, not the one on the root of the HD!

It will be clean. What I'd actually do is... Re-install a clean version of OS X. Bring it all up to date with software update. Copy across everything in your "old home folder" barring the "library" folder (this is where apps keep their settings). Copy across the applications you want from...
