  1. Re:MS is hurting on Media Loves Apple and Its Army of Fans · · Score: 1

    I'm not defending Apple's decision (or lack of action) in implementing this feature in the core system, however I would like to point out to you that Mac OS X has a native VLC client, download that, if you go and play a song or movie, then go to the "Playback" menu and see the "Faster" menu item. Hit it twice for 2x playback speed. This makes voices talk quickly without altering the pitch, therefore there's no chipmunking. This is surely as simple as the "installing 2xAV' as you mentioned above for your PC.

    I'm not privy to the list of supported BitTorrent clients for Ipodnova/videoseed, however you did mention Utorrent, and this also has a native Mac client available. I would assume that the Utorrent guys use the same implementation of the BitTorrent core protocol, so you should be able to use it just fine on those sites.

  3. Re:What DSL modem to use? on Open Source Router on Par With Cisco, Users Say · · Score: 1

    I'm using PPPoE, however my ISP connection is with PPPoA - the trick was to set it up with PPPoA with NAT first, make sure it connects ok, then switch it into bridged mode. I then set up my WRT54GL to use PPPoE, put my ISP account details into the WRT54GL, hot connect, and I was connected first time, with the ISP assigned public IP straight on my router.

    Would that work for you?

    Please learn the difference between the words than and then. I understand your accent may make them sound the same, but they are not interchangeable.

    "...more modified bios then usual."

    Then usually what? I tend to read things literally, so it becomes a PITA having to decode what was actually meant.

    I know, not the biggest problem in the world, but when I read hundreds of thens instead of thans a day on here, I do get kind of narked!

    Thanks!

    My PowerBook has a dedicated eject button on the top row of the keyboard, to the right of the function keys.

    My Apple bluetooth keyboard also has a dedicated eject button. It functions exactly as though it were on the drive itself. I see no difference here.

    Sorry to troll here, but you and the parent poster seemingly think that the words "then" and "than" are interchangeable.

    No, they aren't doing Airport/BT upgrades. I asked in the store about this and they recommended I order the thing online. The guy also said that they only sell memory upgrades as an addition to the 256MB already installed, in other words, you'd be stuck with a useless 256MB stick if you got the memory upgrade from the store on Regents Street, hence why buying online was the better option as they don't do that.

    All you need to do is disable the Redhat Graphical Boot by editing your /etc/grub.conf (by first booting into single user mode) and make sure the line that says this:

    "Impossible for a third party to eavesdrop" is one thing, however what if the data that has been transmitted in such a way is required to be stored for a period of time greater than the time taken for the person to make use of it in one sitting; you will still need to encrypt the data on the local filesystem surely?

    May I suggest you look into the KX driver project, available at http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/index.php?language=e n
