btw Is Wallahwallah Hindii for a homosexual?

I just found out the true meaning of Apple's Genius Bar, when security wouldn't let me on the premises!

Has anyone managed to color balance their new Aluminium iMacs to pre-press standards? Any tips and how-tos?

… Well, what are you looking at?

Not quite. I am on 2Mbps, and I am jealous of your 15Mbps. You can get that here but it costs an arm and a leg. The price we paid for our Government flogging off the publicly owned Telco and turning it into a God awful near monopoly. btw What is everybody's DL? Do they cap it or shape it over...

Ahhh, the advantages of the glossy screen!

I have just purchased an external Western Digital My Book Pro II which consists of 2 x 750Gb drives and a RAID card. The ports are USB2, FW400 and FW800. The software supplied by WD allows for formatting to RAID 0 and RAID 1 with no provision for Linear/Concatenated. Disk Utility does let me...

Join the club. My iMac G5 lost the firewire after upgrading to OSX 10.5.2 and installing one of the firmware upgrades. I am now up to 10.5.3 and still have the problem. The weird thing is I can recover the Firewire after a complete power down, removal of power cord for some time and reboot...

Jesus seemed to have picked up much more of the philosophies from the East, disseminated through the remnants of Alexander the Great's conquests that stretched all the way to India. Buddhism and Zoroastrianism particularly. Buddha taught the sanctity and unity of life, expressed as "harm...

The X-Ray and foreign power supply have no effect. The Mac adjusts automatically to different voltages and hertz and the X-Rays are too weak to do damage, or you'd have everyone suing the airlines! You have not said what system you are running nor whether this after some upgrade or...

You did not say what software you were using to burn the CD, nor whether the CD drive was an internal Mac drive. It is possible if it is an external drive that there is a cabling issue. Unplug everything, turn off the drive, restart and use different ports on the back of drive and the mac and...

Start by using DiskUtility on your start up DVD and repair the HD and permissions. Check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard drive, in case there is a hardware problem, by selecting the Drive (not the volume) and reading the disk description at the foot of the Disk utility window. If that...

Thanks I'll check out A Small Orange, they sound like a good deal. Other than the USA domains they are offering, any drawbacks with my being in Australia and them being in the States? And is 75 Mb big enough for a SOHO site with some portfolio material?

I am looking at setting up a low maintenance and low cost site for my design business. At this stage I am not ready to put the time and money into a dedicated site with my own domain. After I saw a portfolio of a rather good UK design firm which used a .mac gallery as part of its main site, I...

Not just the EU. Bush keeps blathering on about Islam being a religion of peace. Bollocks! Anyone who has read the Koran knows what a load of turn the other cheek wishful thinking that is. But despite all that, invading Iraq has jeopardised the revival of Afghanistan as a civilised country...

Not being stupid is not enough. That just elevates Bush into the realm of mediocrity. He copes by simplifying the world and by governing for the few. The few gave him plenty of money to fuel his campaigns out of the money and opportunities he preferentially passed their way. He was a good...

There was a debate along very similar lines in the NY Times forum recently. Interestingly many Americans who lived abroad chimed in and it seemed the longer the exposure to the outside world the wider the eyes were opened. I hope you do make it O.S. Sadly not enough Americans do, due to your...

Qion, Just look around you. What is in your news, what happens to dissenters, how does your Supreme Court allow Bush to casually dismiss long standing constitutional standards and international treaty agreements? How many absurd ideas can the average American cling to without anyone noticing...

Viro, Hypocrisy has many bedmates. I've been in many good causes where I sincerely cringe at the ignorance and plain absurd thinking of my co-espousers, but that's humanity. 50% below the average IQ. Global Warming is beyond a fad and only those so wrapped up in themselves and their lifestyle...

Viro, should we do a "Bush is stupid, because…" thread? Letterman has been doing something similar for a long time and still hasn't run out of ammunition. The only thing I will credit Bush for is rat cunning, in the aid of "the right people" such as rich mates, the christian right and...
