  1. A better solution.... on Review: EyeTV · · Score: 4, Informative

    ...is the studio/tv from formac. It's firewire so you can get much better throughput, and OSX.
    http://www.formac.com/p_bin/?cid=solutions_conve rt ers_studiodvtv
    It beats the EyeTV hands down.

  2. is there redundancy... on Detecting 802.11 Discovery Apps · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...in their detecting detectors?, or are the detectors detecting only getting detecteed once? anyway you put it that's a lot of detecting detectors and vise versa...

  3. Absolutely correct...Neither is triband. on New Nokia Phones With Full Color And MMS · · Score: 1

    and that is why I never got a T68, it's absolutely useless in my area (Raleigh-Durham). If I leave the city I would have no service, I have clients in Va and couldn't drive there and get reception, until the providers get their collective sh1t together no new phone for me...

  4. I actually use Darwin... on Darwin 6.0.2 for x86 Released · · Score: 1

    ... with large Macintosh or Cross Platform clients where I need better filesharing than netatalk allows. It'll run pretty much anything the BSD boxes I have on other sights but with true Apple Talk and a better implementation of CUPS.

  5. No Parole in Fed Cases!!!! on Former DrinkOrDie Member Chris Tresco Answers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Sorry to dis anyone,but there is no parole in a federal conviction, there is a chance for 55 good days a year,or your looking at doing 85% of your sentance regardless. Bummer dude! looks like he'll be doing 28 months even if he's a good boy.

  6. Firewire is far better than USB 2.0... on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    ....The speed are equal in all the tests I've seen. And these tests are run with nothing else running. The minute you start soemthing else up, Firewire just kicks USB 2.0's ass. USB depends on the processor for its speed, where Firewire is its own chip. In my opinion far better, besides the fact that you can also charge your iPod while it's connected without needing soem damn power supply.

  7. NOT a build.... on Build a Macintosh From Scratch · · Score: 1

    ...merely put some Apple parts in a PC case. Can you say case mod? As for the price, you can buy a used G4- AGP for $800 easy, so this saves you no money, and if your time is worth money you lose. As for his assertation that you can't put a DVD, CD, and Zip in and Apple cased, wrong, Hell my 9600 had all those and 3 SCSI drives inside. So big whoopdeee dooo for this guy. For the money I'll just buy the new dual 867.

  8. wrong, wrong, wrong... on Macs Won't Boot Into Mac OS in 2003 · · Score: 1

    a lot of the Quadras can run OS 8, my 950 does...
    though it is a matter of 020 030 and 040 processors. 020 won't, 030 can be tricked into it very easily, kinda like running OSX on legacy machines. 040 definately can.

  9. your just a troll.... on AnandTech Reviews ATI's Mobility Radeon 9000 · · Score: -1, Troll

    ... probably a zit faced 14 yr old kid who couldn't code his (or is is her?) way out of a paper bag. you really need to figure out why your such a cock holster about this whole thing.

  11. Quit your whining! on Apple Uses DMCA to Halt DVD burning · · Score: 1

    Apple is absolutely correct on this. If you buy an Apple with a Superdrive you get iDVD bundled with it for free. There is no other way to get iDVD. If you are trying to use it with another DVD burner you are pirating the software to try and use it, plus it won't work without a patch to enable it to work with NON-Apple DVD burners. So quit your whining, most DVD burners come with some sort of software bundled with them, use this ot get an Apple with a Supedrive. Nuff said.

  12. phosphoric acid? on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    what's up with all the soda's containing phosphoric acid these days? what is the point of having a corrosive acid in a consumable?

  13. Re:How many copies of OS X 10.2 do you need? on Review: Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar · · Score: 1

    actually with an Xserve and a power mac you'll want 2 different OS's. One of OSX and one of OSX Server. Different animals.

  14. jchristopher is a moron! on Combined DVD Burners Coming Soon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    a mere troll who dosn't know dick. has nothing of merit to post. Apple is doing great sucker, their superdrive rocks, you don't... I really hope that DVD formats can stabilize, that way more people can enjoy being able to burn their own movies etc. I just wish that more people could just respond to the thread and quit trolling like a moron...

  15. this is taken to seriously.... on Interview with Battlebots Champion · · Score: 1

    ... I want a return of the underground grassroots robot battles. Maybe an underground meet in back alley kinda thing, no corporate sponsors, a run what ya brung kinda deal, and if you can't do it without a full support team, then so be it. I'll be happy to organize the first ine in RTP.

    sorry I've been doing that on my mac for years...

  17. as for USB 2... on New Power Mac G4s Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...all the tests I have read have declared Firewire the winner. Explaination, USB 2 relies on your processor for the spead of throughput, Firewire has its own chip...nuff said..

  18. Re:PCs only might cost more due to being useful on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 1

    I have not yet run into a USB or Firewire device that will not work on a Mac. And I don't look on the box to see what they say, cause most of the engineers just conform to the standards, and if it is made to the standards it'll work on a Mac. If your trying to run a digital camera or MP3 player through a parallel port your wasting my time.

  19. Re:oh yeah? on Macs Are Cheaper than PCs · · Score: 1

    I seem to find a lot of machine via surplus auction/sales ($25-$45). then upgrade the processor (G3 or G4 $125-$250)and RAM ($100) and run them all day every day no problem. OSX rocks my socks. Though I really love my Cube, art!

  20. I was there... on Review: Dogtown and Z-Boys · · Score: 1

    ... and I remember listening to Iggy & the Stooges followed by the Nuge, Zep, and then someof your so called Punk Rock, did that deal as well. I believe that the job Stacy did on the film is right on the money.

  21. Re:expensive stuff on Red Hat To Support PowerPC, AltiVec · · Score: 1

    i don't believe the "mac hardware is more expensive" myth. if you price it out as far as the quality of components I feel the mac comes out ahead. i mean come on usb, firewire, giga ethernet, cd-rw, dvd-rw, etc. and the cases are far superior to the ones available for x86's.

  22. microsoft campaign... on Disney Blames Apple For Music Piracy · · Score: 1

    ... didn't mcrosucks pretty much rip apple's ad soon after it came out. I remember it doing so, so why not blame bill, they ship w/ the tools to steal as well....

  23. Re:Why the Mac won't be a good clustering choice on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 1

    actually..... no.... you see you just go to the apple store and order your boxes w/out superdrives or the high end video... very easy... though I must say I'll keep the cases... why can't anyone make cases of this quality for my servers...
