    The Grand Project - Suggestions, please!

    you mentioned earlier that you want to have remotely accessible video feeds for pet owners who wish to view the kennels... well, low-speed consumer broadband won't scale very well to meet that demand. take a look at business DSL services if you're frightened by the cost of a T1 subscription...

    The Grand Project - Suggestions, please!

    yeah, you definitely pay a premium for cisco equipment. but yeah, you use crossover cables when you don't have 'uplink' ports.

    The Grand Project - Suggestions, please!

    sounds like you might be playing with enough money to justify a powered switch. check out the cisco 3750 (if my memory serves me correctly), which i believe is a 24-port model. the vlan suggestion was a good one--in my opinion they are necessary in that type of environment.

    iPod your BMW on apple.com

    You can lease a mini for just over 200 bucks a month here in the US... that's pretty cheap if you ask me, and a very economical car.

    Apple and BMW team up for car audio device

    I accomplished something similar with my 1998 Saturn SL1 (Pioneer deck) using the CD changer interface > RCA > stereo mini-plug.

    MacOS X.4 User Interface Idea

    I've been using Mozilla variants on my Windows box exclusively for over a year (read: no IE. I now launch the app about once a month, for WindowsUpdate purposes). It bothers me that, essentially, resources are loaded that I never use. I can do everything under the sun to minimize resource...

    What happened to $9.99 per album?

    Béla Fleck is amazing. I saw him this summer, and I'm going to try to see him again soon. There are rumors of an upcoming performance with the Grand Rapids Ballet in town here. Edit: Of course... not that he should charge more for his albums, haha.

    Ouch

    Now, I dislike Microsoft as much as the next Linux/Mac advocate, but I don't think their response to this employee makes them any worse than other companies in industry. Like the other guys were saying... you can't have an employee going around on a closed campus taking pictures... it's just...

    Itunes 4.1....

    I've heard that support for more than a few pieces of DigiDesign hardware was broken by Panther. Hopefully they release something soon that will allow you to get back to work.

    clamshell (original) ibook--Tv-Out alternatives?

    Has anyone been able to successfully display an original iBook to television? We've explorered the USB 1 option, and the quality was too poor to make useful in the classroom--are there any other options? Thanks
