Hi everyone, I'm looking for some piece of software that can let me browse my networked file shares and play them back using lots of codecs, and that has an interface usable on a television with a remote controll. It doesn't matter whether or not it's Windows or Linux, but it'd be nice if it...

Hi everyone, I'm looking into getting a large external hard drive, ~1tb - 1.5tb, and was wondering what the best way to format it is for use on both a mac and a pc. HFS+ is read/write only on a mac, and I don't think windows will ever be able to use it. FAT32 is too old and slow. Is NTFS my...

Hey, Does anyone know the difference between My Book Pro Edition II and the My Book Premium Edition II?? Any differences, besides colour, aren't particularly clear. Thanks

The new test drive is pretty sweet

Hi Everyone, I'm trying to find a good piece of software for managing e-mail lists for a newsletter. If anyone has any experience at all, I'd really appreciate a response with names of some programs that worked for you.

Whats the going rate right now for a 2407FPW in Canada? It's going right now for C$749. Should I hold out for a better price?

Seconded. It makes you seem childish and immature; not really the image you're going for when writing a letter like that. At least this lawyer can write coherent sentences.

Maybe I didn't explain clearly. I have a 300Gb hard disk. With vista, I had one large 300Gb partition, but in preperation for the OS change, I made a 40Gb FAT32 partition to store my data on. So all this has come about after I've deleted the ntfs partition, created a new one, and tried to...

Hi everyone, So I've been using vista for a few weeks, but I've decided that it just wasn't worth it in terms of the resources it uses, so I wanted to go back to XP. So, I made a small fat32 partition and threw all my data on it, booted up from my XP cd, deleted the vista partition, and it...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find something that will pull double duty as a monitor and TV. As for as television goes, I'd like to have component and composite inputs, as well as 1080p dvi/hdmi with hdcp for whenever we decide which hd movie format wins. It doesn't need to be massive, but...

Macbook Pro Core Duo 2 GHz 1.5g DDR2

Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up a couple desktops in a room that can't be reached with CAT5, so I thought that rather than buying wireless cards for each, it might be better to go Wireless Bridge > Switch > Computers. I have one of those D-Link 'Gaming Routers', a DGL 4300. Would...

Right, but some of my PS2 games might not support 480p.

Hey everyone, Wasn't sure which forum to post this on, but I thought that this one must be the most frequented. Anyways, I have a LCD with both DVI and VGA inputs. What I wanted to do was have the DVI input -> Computer, and the VGA input -> my PS2/xBox. Is there some kind of converter that...

These ones: And i agree, it seems really stupid.

What you should problably do is go out and buy yourself 2 more hard disks on the cheap. Like 1st gen 36gb raptors. Connect them both to the Mother Board, and set them up for Raid 1. Then install XP or Linux on the array. If you don't know, Raid 1 basically makes a copy, byte for byte, on a...

Wow. thats pretty cool VMware is in Canada. I didn't realise. Back to the software though.. does anyone know if parallels can read VMware image files?

I awefully hope its not dumb to buy a core duo. I just bought a 15" MBP CD. For the same price I could have gotten a brand new MB with gobs of ram. I'm still not convinced I've made the right choice, but we'll see I guess.

Anyone want to offer a comparison between VM's offering and Parallels? I've used VMware quite a bit before, so I'd be reluctant to use anything but this 'Fusion'. That is, unless Parallels offers something really great that I don't know about?

Enlighten me. Why does Camino exist? How come Mozilla doesn't just push firefox for OS X?

Aye. Thanks guys. My new MBP is in the mail. Its problalby the most money i've ever spent at once before. Yikes.

Okey Doke. Think I'll get it. Anyone had any luck with getting a student discount on refurbs?

So you guys think I should jump on this? I mean, there's that big conference coming up soon. Macworld, is it?

Yeah, I geuss my only qualm is about the Core Duo vs the Core 2 Duo... Is there that big of a speed difference? EDIT: They now have another MBP for $60 that has the 2GHz.

Hey everyone, I'm looking into getting a MacBook in the next couple of weeks here. With my education discount i'm looking at $1200 Canadian for the White base model. Is this the best way to go? or is there somewhere else I can get a better deal on a C2D duo. Maybe a refurb or something...

Do they come in iPod white? If so, I'll take two.

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem with this php program im writing. Basically, i have a pretty long string that a need to put right into a mysql_query(). The problem is, is that i have no idea what the content will be, so sometimes i get a mysql error like "you have an error in your SQL...

Adobe After Effects has lots of chroma key options. Not to mention the loads of other stuff you'd get along with it.

Sun has new thin clients in the same brushed aluminum as all their new stuff. It looks pretty sweet.:)

Well, sure, in a buisness environment or something. But answer me this: If my name is Joe User, and I have 120GB of files that are important to me, which will protect my data better? A single 120GB HD, or two in RAID-1?

OOOOOOO 40 days of uptime! Legendary!! IMO, your question boils down to this: a linux box is fun to tinker with and configure, and if tinkered with and configured well can provide you with a ton of fantastic features unfound in soho routers. Now, the soho routers' ball game is with...

If the fibre runs at the same speed as any of the copper ports, whats the advatage of using them as uplinks?

pr0n?

BEST idea here. google "random password generator" and make a unique one for each user, then make it so that they can't change them.

So, to get this straight, when you plug the modem into the Linksys Router, it can't pull an IP? Maybe you should try cloning the ISP Provided Router's IP on the Linksys's wan port? Its worth a shot..

Well, I geuss for you the processor might be important, though, that doesn't make your terrible GRAMMAR any less unbearable.

I don't know what others do, but I have apache and mysql running on my pc. that way, i can check stuff out straight away. Apparently, zend studio is pretty good if you can get the money for it.

Well, I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to run each screen independantly (ie, each showing different information), it's relatively easy to have them all doing the same thing. Just find a active vga distributer.Like these ones here
