    Hacking Mac Book Pro

    Did you get to the video somewhere? I haven't found it anywhere yet. I think they are exploiting a bug in the wireless card that shipped in a MacBook, no? I think the problem is that *all* wireless cards are made by third parties. Kind of like the hard drives, the memory, and most everything...

    G5-how many watts?

    Whoops, 550, totally -- 405 was a complete spaz. The interesting part here, though, is that according to Apple the overall wattage required seems to have decreased through subsequent models, not increased. I hear what you're saying on power supply capacity vs. power consumption numbers as a...

    This article is from March of this year, and indicates even lower wattages than the original article I pointed to. According to that piece, a quad 2.5 GHz G5 maxes out at 405 watts.

    ...Unless you stream media that's specified in the bug I pointed to, in which case you shouldn't update. Because this version introduces at least one documented bug.

    Problem in installing programs

    If you take a look on Google, the "codec overrun" problem is well-documented. The cause of the problem is most likely a corrupt DMG file. Have you tried to re-download the Limewire DMG?

    G5-how many watts?

    What? I don't think so. See Apple's specs here. The hungriest configuration, according to Apple, maxes out at 604 W. Do you have independent information to the contrary?

    Very slow intel imac - help if possible!!

    Let us know what happens. Have you confirmed that you have a single 512 MB chip right now, as opposed to two 256 MB chips? The easiest way to do this in OS X is this: 1. Go to the Apple menu 2. Select "About this Mac" 3. Press the "More info..." button 4. Look at Harware :: Memory

    Very slow intel imac - help if possible!!

    The newest version of VirusBarrier is Universal. The first and best option is to double your RAM. OS X is a memory-hungry environment, and the more you give it to eat the happier it'll be. The memory at the Apple Store is horribly overpriced. Check OWC/Macsales.com and Crucial for memory for...

    All indesign stories to word for translation

    Actually, InDesign is well-suited for this task, as long as you create smart layouts. It's just like in Quark: you create a layout with column flows, drop in the text, and make adjustments when necessary. Not rocket science. This is the same thing that's done, with less human intervention...

    All indesign stories to word for translation

    It's certainly possible in InDesign CS2 to save your content out to an XML "snippet" that can then be translated and re-read by the InDesign document, but you'll need to do a fair amount of ramping up (also here) before you'll be able to understand the process and come up with your own.
