really? i always do smb://netbiosname/ and select a share from the list, though my browsing support and mounting works pretty well. i'm sure the refresh fix will make everything run a little more smoothly, though i'm also sure it won't fix all problems.
I've had plenty of SMB problems when network connectivity was lost on either end, or when my laptop would go to sleep while having an SMB share still mounted. I hope this resolves all those issues...
mp3.com was pretty damn cool. i have some linkin park songs, coldplay, no doubt, foo fighters, and a bunch of legal mp3's i downloaded from mp3.com before it went out, not to mention a TON of good jazz, classical and oldies music.
a good alternative, if you're looking for non mainstream artists, is http://iuma.com/
and while i was looking for that link, i found that http://www.mp3.com.au which apparently doesn't have [m]any good american artists... at least, afaik, which ain't much when it comes to that site.
That makes good sense, but yet I still find it incredibly absurd, considering that Macintosh had a windowing environment back when MS still had DOS. They just claimed the term windows for their own and now they defend it tooth and nail and then some. I hope this doesn't become the issues with the whole virtual desktop patent deal. When I look at the way the legal system works I understand where they're coming from, but in reality it's just silly.
Does every single OpenGL or D3D application you open use up huge amounts of resources? I think not, but if the developer adds enough eye-candy then it certainly will, however it also has the potential to look a lot cooler. This is the premise of having a 3D desktop. I'd really hope that if you disable whatever 3D effects (ie: window zooming, genie effect, icon zooming, window flag-waving behavior) they happen to have on by default you'd end up back in a reasonable 2D interface, low cpu overhead interface. I seriously doubt they'll MAKE you have chrome effects all over the place.
actually, i doubt you're right, because the specific link for your comments isn't going to have all of the key phrases and links to get a high page rank, but since the post i was complaining about was moderated up enough to have it's text included on the page of the root message which does have all that info, and does have a high page rank, it shows up as #2 in the search.
This is just great. Thanks to the moderators making this tiny, itty bitty nugget of knowledge "informative", regardless of the fact that it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread, Google has now put this as the second result for "PEAP Panther" even though this thread gives no information about PEAP other than the fact that it is a standard. This is an example of why staying on topic is necessary, and moderating on topic is even more important. We all can make the web better, and staying on topic helps us do that.
Saying that PEAP is a more open standard than LEAP isn't going to help anybody connect to a VPN. WPA, 802.1x authentication and even WEP don't really have anything to do with PPTP or IPSEC VPN's, other than they both use encryption and some of them authenticate by username/password. If this guy's school is using Bluesocket VPN I don't think they're worried about using open standards, they've already dished out the money for this VPN solution and I'm willing to bet they'll stick with it. All that aside, I suppose you are right, LEAP is less proprietary than PEAP, I just don't think it's relevant to this situation.
Oh yeah? Well back in the cave man days we didn't even know what wires were, so we HAD to communicate wirelessly. I remember slaving away in front of that fire with that blanket, crafting SSP (smoke signal protocol) packets by hand. Sometimes it would take more than 10 minutes to get an initial ping back because they other side hadn't started their fire yet. Even if they had, it took over a minute just to get an intro line of chat finished. Rain storm? Night time? Don't even bother, your network was down for the count.
that wouldn't be so easy though, because things like whitespace or a minor syntactical change, or even just renaming a function or variable would create a different fingerprint, so if somebody really wanted to they could slip the same code without it being recognized. definitely good advice though, if there is a way to make it work.
Well, this isn't a three year old router, and it wasn't the wrong image. This happened a year ago, two months after I'd bought the device. Even so, I've gotten 5 year warranties on networking devices through Netgear where I've had them replaced with only a few questions about the functionality and where I'd purchased the device. So, in essence, yes. And if you crash your car after the dealer recommends you upgrade your tires then provieds those tires for you, yes, they should accept responsibility.
One thing I really dislike about linksys's firmwares is that they don't have any sort of recovery program. I've gone through 2 WAP11's because a firmware upgrade on their site somehow failed to do it's job. This would've been a minor software problem if they had a critical recovery problem, but instead I had to get a replacement. Another thing, replacing a linksys router requires (last few times I talked to tech support) that you have the receipt for the device, which is complete BS. If you own the device and it's broken they should replace it, regardless of where you bought it and for how much. This was infuriating since the lab that I work in has way too much hardware, and we're far too disorganized to save boxes and receipts for all of the products we purchase. Some comments in the aforementioned article make me think this is still a problem in the 54g device, though I don't have personal experience with that.
Ever since the 10.3.2 update crashed my laptop I wait a day or two to see how things are going. That was the only crash I've ever had in Mac OS X though, and I had reloaded and (automatically) had all my settings back to the way they were before the crash, and had the system all patched up, even with the patch that crashed the system, within 35 minutes. This was amazing to me, considering all the hundreds of times I've spent reloading my own or other people's windows boxen and the frustration of importing all the previous settings (and never quite getting them ALL back). I'm not going to say OS X is the OS that does it all, but I will say that after using MS OSes since DOS 3.2 my new desktop OS of choice is OS X for reasons like that... Even so, I still do wait a day or so to patch because clearly things can, and do, go wrong some times.
Looking at my updates, which actually don't go back too far because I reloaded my laptop, the last system update i did was Dec 20th... that's over a month. The only updates I've done between then and now were application updates, like iCal. That's definitely better than being on a monthly patch release schedule for critical OS bugs.
But getting back to rips, with error correction enabled, might not the machine slow down as needed when ripping to ensure that sort of thing doesn't happen?
yes, the machine would slow down. however, if the purpose of using multiple drives was to speed things up then this would be counter-productive as far as the original goal was concerned.
as far as multi-disc games go, from my experience the game usually looks in the same location for each disk, ie:/dev/disk2s1 would be one cd and/dev/disk3s1 would be the other, and i've personally never had success with this, for either emulating or using real cdrom devices.
If you have fink installed you can try "fink install abcde" which will hook you up with all the required stuff to run "A Better CD Encoder". I'm not exactly sure how this handles with multiple drives, since i've never done that. you could also check out cdparanoia, which is not available through fink, but is here:
http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/
really though, this 3-drive thing may very well depend on your hardware configuration, especially if you're using ATA drives, which i assume you are. ripping from two cdrom drives on the same bus will most likely not work well since only one device per channel can talk at the same time. so, if you have one drive set up as secondary master and one set up as secondary slave (i can say that since i don't live in LA) it might not work well due to the nature of how cd ripping works. it may require more real-time access than is available to be shared between the two devices simultaneously.
not that i need to give everybody permission, but please correct anything here if it's wrong. i don't claim to know everything about modern cd ripping tricks, just speaking from experience.
I think he's referring to an overall system strain so in the case of there needing to be some resources immidiately available for when cd ripping might need to perform some corrections those resources might not be there. CD ripping is just one of those things where if you don't have enough resources on hand, and you don't have the sluggish jitter-correction option enabled (which would possibly defeat the purpose of ripping with more than one drive), you could end up with some errors in the form of audible pops.
Don't get me wrong, I love the iPod and i wouldn't trade it, especially if I had to pay, for this hardware being reviewed, but you have NO freakin clue what you're talking about. This device sync's wirelessly and broadcasts it's audio over FM. Nicecast is a network streaming audio server. They are not directly related at all. It's not like this device connects to your 802.11 network and lets you listen to the tunes on your mac while you're parked in the garage....
Yes, I'm having problems with this latest update. In fact, I'm in the process of reloading my 12" powerbook as I type this. What happened? Well, I was working on another computer and I wanted to hear this Delerium song called "Truly", it's really good. So, I turned to my 12" powerbook, plugged in an external 1394 drive, not firewire 800, and almost instantly got a kernel panic. I'm not sure at what point the installer was at, it was behind my mail.app that i was taking notes in. I rebooted and the poor thing just wouldn't boot up. It'd bring up some of the network services, like ftp, but it didn't bring up ssh. It never got to a gui either. Repairing the disk and permissions didn't help. This is only the second kernel panic I've gotten since i bought this kick ass, best laptop I've ever had last Feb, but damn, the last one just required a reboot and disk check! At least OS X automatically imports your system prefs when you reload a new system on the old HDD, unlike trying to import your prefs in windows after reloading right over the top. XP on my inspiron took a whole day to reload and get back to custom settings. Oh, there's the chime of my installer rebooting, looks like everything's back up and running now. Hmm..... took about 15 minutes, sweeeet. =D But man wtf was up with that? Time to try it again...

No, it means that if your hard drive is used for piracy it needs to go get a job so that it can pay the money that it owes to musicians.
That makes good sense, but yet I still find it incredibly absurd, considering that Macintosh had a windowing environment back when MS still had DOS.

Boycott EV1? That shouldn't be hard. Until a few minutes ago I had no idea who they were.

A day without SCO is like a day without rain, and i'm sick of this weather.
