Trivia: The bloke who wrote windowblinds was in my department (computer science) at university, in the year below though. Windowblinds used to be hosted on the university student webserver. He was a proper geek. Probably a very rich one now though.

Yes. Just double click on it.

what format? The standard "disk mounter" mounts standard disk images.

Ahh..Sorry. In that file sharing place you'll need to click options and then select "share files on smb" as well. By default the file sharing only shares via ftp, because quite frankly, smb (windows file sharing) is shite. Then it should appear as a network share on windows.

System Preferences/Sharing. Turn on "File Sharing" Job done. Chicken of the VNC. (mac vnc client for remote viewing) System Preferences/Sharing. Turn on remote management (turns on vnc server) Use any windows VNC client to view from a windows machine.

nothing.

Phone them up and tell them you have a Sky+ box and they'll pair your existing card and box together.

Maybe it'd be a better idea for people to post what they think good challenges would be and then let everybody vote on what the challenge should be - the previous winner then gets to select the 10 entries that they like the most and then a poll could be opened (a week?) and people get to vote on...

How appropriate. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7303288.stm

He was probably too busy trying to "kill" the system idle process to notice any real difference though.... ;)

The channel I watch on sky the most is "Sky One". That isn't available on virgin....

Running 10.5 on a G4 powerbook (1.5Ghz) without any issues here.

Well. 1) There will be no codecs as OS 9 is obsolete. 2) He'll be running the mac internet explorer from 1999! Enough said, browser best part of 10 years old. 3) Internet explorer is about as good as it gets on OS 9.

And answered it in Post 2! That depends on what spec the G4 is. Leopard won't run on anything less than 800Mhz. Anything under 1Ghz stick to Tiger.

Are you or your friend sound engineers?

My families business still has an Mac 128k in the office that is still used! My G4 tower shipped with OS 9.

It was released in 1999. It's utterly obsolete.

OS 9? tell him to stop wasting his time and move on!

No worries. Logic is a bit of a strange one because of all the content it installs and makes available to all other pro-apps. Nearly every other mac app can be uninstalled in the copy to trash manner. Most apps (that is, if they created a plist) will leave behind their preferences in the...

Logic is a pro-app so it actually installs other stuff in other places. Removing the main logic app will leave a fair amount of stuff still on the machine including the apple loops which will account for most of the disc space logic takes up. This document here details what you need to remove...

Steve Jobs is way cooler than Bill Gates, so there. Nerrr. Nerrr. :p (no returns).

Don't worry. It's a slippery slope. Soon he'll be using AOL too..... :p

Sure. Probably shiny too. ;)

Oooh..cryptic. "A landmark event in more ways than one" With a picture of the golden gate bridge underneath. Place your bets now!

I had a sony dvd player. It broke. I replaced it with another sony dvd player. It broke. I replaced the replacement with another sony dvd player. It also broke. Conversely, the cheap £20 no-brand dvd player that I won years back still works. My cousins sony dvd player also broke. I don't...

Anybody remember Arthur? I remember having parts of RiscOS3 about a year before it was released!

Nice, although I've got my eye on one of these as a dev machine.... http://www.apple.com/macpro/ 8 cores of goodness.

pr0n on the road?

Yeah. Sky one rules. :p Got 3 feeds from the LNB. Two for the sky+ and one for the multiroom.

lol. I doubt it. There were a lot of them about! I remember an original prototype of the ARM1 silicon in a bbc "tube" extension didn't sell for much on ebay when it surfaced a few years back - that is proper computing history. I believe it ended up in some computer museum.
