as above - Any ethernet cable will do. It doesn't matter if it is a crossover or a regular cable. Apple has used clever NICs (ethernet card) in the powerbook range that auto detect if the computer is connected to a network or directly to another computer. If that doesn't work straight off you...

plug an external keyboard/mouse and external screen, so long as it is plugged into th emains it will continue to work if the lid is closed. - Effectivly turning it into an expensive desktop!

I wouldn't do that if i were you, sounds like a large security risk, your printer is shared to all cable users this way. You really need to get a router that can give you a private LAN with your printer PC and Mac all inside - safe away from the eyes of the public. Some switches can do this...

I have a problem - which i wont go into but this is the cause: When i can connected to a LAN the ethernet interface gets an ipaddress - as you would expect, i can ping my own ip address, which makes sense. But when connected to the internet via dialup i cant ping the modem interface. This...

I don't know about anyone else, as i hardly ever use presentation software, but i am on the receiving end often (I am at University). Given the grunt laptop video cards have these days I think it would be in invaluable feature to be able to present the show to the projector (external monitor)...

yeah i get that too, hopefully 10.3.3 will fix it

These are a couple of the pics i've collected recently from email. the pavement ones are really clever! I've got more but can only post 5 at a time...

UNIX Airways Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building. Air DOS Everybody pushes the airplane until it...

i have had bit of a think about this and this is what i would do. This would be really easy under panther: Create a new user on the machine with no limitations on the apps they can use. Bingo problem solved, not sure if this is a feature on 10.2 but you should check This is just what i would...

Does anyone else have this problem? Some times the bookmarks bar just disappears in safari, but when you mouse-over where the links should be they reappear one by one. Every time the page is refreshed they disappear again! Also a new one that i haven't had before is the tab bar not...

I think you are adding the box over the top of your other controls. You need to add the box first then add the controls to the inside of the box, so the box contains all the controls. If you think about it, it makes sense!

for anyone who has done development in .NET you know what auto completion is, i was very disappointed when i installed xcode the other-day, i couldn't make it suggest anything - maybe it only works for cocoa, i was using c++. It couldn't even manage to give the methods that math.h has - see...

It is?? apple-t for new tab always selects the address bar so you can type an address straight in. Failing that apple-L selects the address bar its under File>Open Location

cant you set norton to monitor a specific folder? Check in Antivirus preferences. btw what are you hoping to catch? The first Mac OS X virus known to man?

sounds like you may be using a crossover cable - these are used for connecting two computers directly to one another - if you use a hub you have to use a regular ethernet cable. To check hold both ends of the cable like you are trying to plug them into each other and see if the colours match...

"IOBatteryInfo" = ({"Capacity"=3043,"Amperage"=1200,"Current"=3043,"Voltage"=16452,"Flags"=838860805}) PB Gigabit 550MHz I got 6 hours off this a few months ago with the screen turned off plugged in to my stereo with itunes playing - Tends to last about 3-4 hours with the screen dimmed with...

on an unrelated note, does anyone know of a safari plugin that shows pdfs in the browser, and/or how to change the format in which the system (10.3) saves screen shots?
