  1. Re:Hm. on Drooling Over VA Tech's 1100-Node G5 Cluster · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually, I just ran into this problem with a new eMac lab at my school, we set it up in about 4 hours. :)

    Easy way to do it.

    1. Set up 1 machine how you want it.
    2. Get a bunch of firewire cables.
    3. Hook the eMac's together using the cables. (If you can't reach with the cables, get some portable firewire drives, iPods work well with this too.)
    4. Use Carbon Copy Cloner 2.2 (http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html) and move down the line of machines until they're all the same.
    5. Go in and change HD, Network, etc names.
    6. Smile because you just did something in 4-5 hours that it would take Windows users a week to do.

    If you have questions, feel free to email (sethmath @ mac.com) me about it. I can walk you through if necessary.

    Its a little outdated, but this site is pretty good.

  3. Re:OS X version 10.2.7? on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 1

    Actually the most recent version of OS X is 10.2.6, 10.2.5 is just what the machines/OS ship as, you can download the latest point update via Software Update or Apple's website. From what I've heard, 10.2.7 allows for programs to use the 64 bit processes in memory and some floating point applications, as well as allowing for the use of the added system memory per program.

  4. SmartDisk pulled a... on FireWire 2 Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    "Looks like SmartDisk pulled a Time Canada."

    SmartDisk didn't pull a TimeCanada, they pulled an iMac .

    Get it? Ok, maybe not. It was a bad pun. I'm sorry.

  5. Farfetched on Still Hope for Farscape · · Score: 1

    I think it should be noted that its doubtful that this will amount to anything. Many of the actors have gone onto other things, and the Farscape sets were destroyed in october.
