Nice. I want one of those.

Sure, when I get home. I run a PC at work. :(

Lycander: thanks, but that's not it. When the drive is working, it's pretty quiet. It's only when it's been idle and it all of a sudden starts making the different noise. It's a combination of a sort of spinning and clicking, but not the clicking of a crashed hard drive. I've heard plenty of...

Thanks, good suggestion. I'll try connecting it to another computer and see if it does the same thing.

I have a LaCie 200-gig Porsche FW drive. I find when it's idle, it will all of a sudden make a noise for a while like a sewing machine. It's pretty loud, too. Actual operating noise from the drive is pretty quiet. It will make this noise every once in a while and it drives me nuts. If it's...

I've been told that games won't run under VPC, even something like the this. I guess all the audio. Worth a try, though. I think I might end up seeing if I can play it on my work laptop via VNC. The laptop has a tiny screen.

Has anyone here tried to get Cedega - http://www.transgaming.com/ - to work under X11? I want to be able to play Escape From Monkey Island and it seems this is the only way to do it, other than with a PC running Windows. They don't seem to have a trial of Cedega.

It's a Windows games, not DOS.

I loved the first two Monkey Islands and want to play the third and fourth ones. Curse will play with ScummVM, but Escape is either Windows that won't work in ScummVM, or OS 9, which will not boot on my 12" AluBook, nor will it run in Classic. What are my cheapest options to run this? Thanks.

Hey, I need a favor. If you guys don't mind, could you vote for my band here? http://daddario.guitar.com/Cordite_Vote.aspx?band=Geek%20Farm Thanks!

Cool. So what's the deal with Rosyna, anyway? She's never in any pics. What does she look like?

Arden, where are your pics with the Unsanity people? I'd like to see them. Good news: I just ordered a 40 gig iPod today. Bad news is that my 2G 20-gig's hard drive is dying. Between lots of rebate type stuff and that a parts company will buy my 20 gig for $65 or $70, I will end up not...

Look around the rumor sites. All I have heard really is that it will be sleek, integrate somehow with iTunes, work with both Windows and Mac, and be priced in the mid-range, as in not a super expensive $500 phone. I can't find any more information about it. I wish I could, but I think I'm...

I can't believe I'm waiting for Apple to decide what I do about my cell phone service. I live in NYC and have a Motorola v60 with Verizon Wireless. I want a cooler GSM phone, and will probably switch to Cingular and get the Sony Ericsson T637 (The Z600 looks cool, but is expensive). BUT, I am...

Thank you. I didn't know it was a known bug. I was talking to him though email but haven't heard from him in a while. I have a feeling I will go back to LaunchBar since I have two annoying problems with QS that don't look like they will be resolved.

Well there are uControl and SideTrack, which I tried disabling. I also edited the USB config file to swap Caps Lock and Control. I suppose I could try reversing that, but I don't think it would have anything to do with it. And the only Dock program I have running is Unsanity's ClearDock, but...

I did once try trashing the app and its two preference files and it didn't help.

I've been using QuickSilver and for the past few versions have been having a problem that I cannot figure out. It all works fine when I have the Dock icon enabled, but when I disable it, I get this problem. If I hit the command to bring up the QS window, it will come up and then disappear...
