    Apple vs. Windows

    I'm gonna go out on limb here an guess you mean soundcards. Most Macs have some way of connecting speakers built in. The guys at Apple are trying to push Digital sound forward, so most devices you will see will connect via USB ports (ie sound sticks). Some companies are making PCI (analog)...

    Sound via Aiport Extreme or Bluebooth

    I don't think this is really possible, at least not yet. There is a product out there called USB/Anywhere that provides USB or IP connectivity, but alas....it is only for Windoze boxes. The only other devices that I know of that have both ethernet (or 802.11b/g) connection and USB ports are...

    Good morning Baghdad! <-----

    I have much been puzzled by the anti-french mentality that seems to have infected the US in recent weeks. True in recent history the French have lost a few battles. However, if I recall my history correctly (something most americans seem incapable of) the French come out about even. France...

    Open app not visible in dock?

    Help~! I haven't read this forum until now, because I really like having the icons in the dock, but....quite by accident, I succeeded in doing the very thing that seems to be the goal of this topic. I don't have any idea how I did this, infact everything was working perfectly fine just a...

    Airport Extreme USB -- Use for other USB Peripherals?

    1) Doubtful. The USB port is part of a built in print server. So, you access the printer via IP address. 2) Again, doubtful. 3) Yes, you can access the print server from a PC. I wrote out the steps once, here is a link: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28588

    PC on my Airport network?

    Actually an 802.11g card would work just fine. G is compatible with B. However, if all your other equipment is B, it really doesn't make much sense to buy G, cause you don't get the speed benefits and, for the most part, it is more expensive.

    A cross-platform harddrive format?

    It kinda depends on what version of windows you are running. If you are running XP or 2000, you can use either NTFS or FAT32. If you are running one of the 9X versions then you must use FAT32 (I guess you could use just plain ol' FAT, but that would be retarded). Also you might want to note...

    Airport Extreme base home network

    Yes, you will be able to use the Airport Extreme Base Station as an AP in you home network. It runs on the 802.11b & 802.11g Standards (well, at least the 802.11b standard, 802.11g hasn't been ratified yet). So, this means it will inter operate with ANY equipment that works with those...

    DO NOT buy a ti-book

    I've had a problem with my hockey puck of a power adapter. The little pin that goes into the computer came off inside the computer. I took it to the Apple Store and they said that it was a "known issue" but they were nice enough to replace the ac adapter and the dc in board on my iBook free of...

    How do I stop the MySQL server?

    The standard way to stop MySQL is to use the mysqladmin tool. It works like this: mysqladmin -u root -p password (if you set a password for root) shutdown If everything goes right, the daemon will shutdown the server, if not...time to use kill. Edit:Note: This assumes that you have...

    Regis loves apple ad

    Yeah, I really like that ad too. It reminds me of the good ol' days of apple advertising. My personal favorite apple ad is the one where the fire fighter puts out the guy in the bunny suit. IMHO the "Switch" ads were crap. They opened Apple up to mockery and parody. I have friends that...

    Airport Extreme, Printing from PowerBook & Dell Laptop

    I'm gonna take a shot in the dark at this. Basing together what I know of networking and print servers, this is how I assume it works (how I would have done it, if I made the device). Okay, since the printer is basically connected to a wireless print server, you will have to use IP Printing...

    TelNet with an SMTP server... uh oh!

    Telnet isn't evil, it is just really powerful. It was designed back in the days where the only thing that computers had were command lines. So, by using it, you were basically at the remote computer's keyboard, and you could use it to do basically anything that you would do at that...

    Apple to release iMovie 3, iPhoto 2 tomorrow

    Two problems with that: 1st - I'm behind a firewall that has closed all the ports except for a very select few that are for "approved" internet activities. 2nd - I WAS BEING SARCASTIC~! Next time I'll use < sarcasm > tags to make it clearer for you. If someone were to do what I...

    Apple to release iMovie 3, iPhoto 2 tomorrow

    i think my current solution is going to be to point my browser to apple/iphoto/download and write an apple script to constantly refresh the page. They will have so many entries in their error log, they will think twice about delaying the release by 6 days and then not give it to us right...

    What to do with dead batteries?

    Okay, so I decided to buy a spare battery for my iBook, and life was grand. A few short months later, my laptop bag was stolen. Praise God that my laptop was not in it, however my spare battery was. So, I filed all the paper work with the proper people and by doing some dumpster diving, I...
