If you have a problem.... ...and nobody else can help... ..and if you can find them.... ;)

You know the reason behind it being like that though don't you? How many times have you tried explaining to somebody how to do something.... ..."click the right hand mouse button....no, your other right!"... that's the historical reasoning behind it, easier for novices to understand if there...

Cool. :)

Connect via smb (finder/connect to a share "smb://x.x.x.x" - where x.x.x.x is the client machine IP address) Drop files into drop box. Job done.

Have you used omni-graffle on the mac? It's bloody brilliant, I used it to make rather spiffing looking flow charts for the user documentation for a piece of windows software.

I've been doing some stuff in C# at work recently and while it and .net are actually pretty good technology I still feel like I'm using a "toy" language because of its speed. I'm amazed at how slow winforms and graphics stuff actually is in it. Nice language (well it's C on steroids). Nice...

Spotted a williams (trying) to pull out across the traffic to head towards the A14, would have stopped to let you out but didn't see you until the last minute and the people behind might not have appreciated me slamming the brakes on!

But in 5 years time the mac laptop will still be running the latest version of OS X nice and quickly and won't have depreciated that much. I suspect the PC won't be running the latest version of Windows very well and will be virtually worthless. You pay your money and you take your choice. :)

So you've made the move, given it a couple of months and then gone back to Windows land I presume? Mmmkay. What the hell are you mumbling on about?! :S Please enlighten me. Except that it is fundamentally more secure by design and it's far better than this "(Fade In), Are you sure you...

Ahh, Adobe fonts. There used to be a free a font manager on the adobe site that allowed windows to use them, adobe font manager deluxe or something like that, no conversion would be necessary.

If it's already an opentype font then you're good to go. If it's a truetype font (mac format) then use this It it's a truetype font (pc format) then you're good to go anyway.

The Sky+ £10 subscription is stopping on the 1st of July, so the only extra cost is the price of the box. It's well worth the £99, it's blooming marvellous!

:S Not seen that, all the sites I have in transmit are password protected and I never get prompted. Will have a look later when I get home to see if there is anything obvious.

Your information is crap. MSN runs fine. You can either use the microsoft client or Adium (much better). You wont get voice or video though.

Wow. Still running jaguar!! Edit: I'd forgotton how stripey it was! They toned it down in Jaguar too, Puma has even more.

Exactly. This is what most PC owners don't get. My old G4 tower (733) still runs super fast even today on the latest version of OS X. I'd like to see a PC of the same age do the same with the latest version of Windows! Gave it a nice big speed bump as well by chucking in another 512 meg of...

Has to be transmit, it's brilliant. I love it's integration with TextMate (Best text editor ever).

They don't make Power PC G5's anymore!

between £80-£90 depending on where you buy it from.

It's considerably faster than safari 2 when rendering large pages (i.e 4000 or more "lines"), infact it's instant where safari 2 wasn't - was my only gripe with safari. For all you pr0n viewers, safari has a rather nice feature called "private browsing" which doesn't store anything in the...

Actually it's more specific than that, it's only available in cocoa applications that use the text control - anything that doesn't conform to that it won't work in as there are no api calls to hook into it, at least in Tiger. :rasp: It is a very useful feature though, I do use it quite often.

Nah...Just moved to stukeley meadows so in huntingdon a lot more obviously!

Passed you tonight as I was heading down st peters road to town, you'd just gone past lola heading towards tescos.

Thought it was! I had a quick scout around but couldn't see you in there! I seem to be in there at least once every day at the moment!

You wern't in homebase (Huntingdon) the other night were you Tom? There was a cup in the car park with "tow" on the front bumper, thought it might have been you.

I've seen this before on XP (only on a single machine though), I never could fix it!

lol. Crucial are owned by micron who are a major manufacturer of RAM chips! Crucial were one of the vendors for the power pc mac memory, so it's more than likely that the RAM that is in your iMac is from them anyway.

Re: I f**king hate windows We have a 2k PC at work that was using a UPS. I had to switch it off because the power was going to be off longer than the UPS could cope. Shut it down. Left it for 3 or so hours. Turned it back on and it wouldn't boot. Would get all the way to the end of...

Yeah, massive changes. I first started using linux in 94, can't even remember what window manager I was using back then, other than it was just the standard X toolkit. I used solaris a lot with CDE and that was awesome. Linux needs a de-facto standard GUI API, having both gnome & KDE isn't...
