    Unusually Slow Internet Connection...

    The first thing you will want to do is run a Speedtest to make sure that it's not your ISP causing the problem. First wait a little while to see if it goes back to normal. If not, powercycle (unplug, wait 30 seconds, plug back in) the router, and then reboot the computer. If it is possible...

    Internet Connect Configuration Bug

    You could try trashing the preference file named com.apple.internetconnect.plist in /Users/username/Library/Preferences (where username is the user's name) You might want to write down your settings as that will probably reset it to the defaults.

    Macbook graphics in OSX vs graphics in Windows

    I also agree. You can't always trust Wikipedia on everything (however, it does make a good research tool ;))

    Open Office not Launching

    Did you install X11 from Apple's site, or your OS X DVD? I think I remember having the same problem, and I ended up using the one from Apple's site. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/x11update2006113.html

    Signature Size?

    I came back for a visit to here after being gone for a few months, and upon going to change 10.4.6 in my signature to 10.4.9, I get a lovely message telling me the signature cannot be longer than 5 lines? What gives?

    imac/laptop audio adaptor

    Is the iMac in question a G4, I presume.. (considering the G5 and G3 have built-in speakers) The iMac G4 utilized Digital Audio, I believe (maybe some models?). I think the Harmon/Kardon speakers are digital. But don't quote me on it because I don't own a G4 :p However, I would imagine if the...

    Speed measuring program.

    If you are just trying to find the processor specifications, go to the Apple menu (Apple logo -- top left of screen), and choose "About This Mac". Seeing that you have that in your signature, what exactly are you looking to measure? The clock speed of the processor dosen't change...

    Need help with my mac! Won't log in?

    Try this • Power off the G3 • Press the power button, and right after the startup chime, press and hold the SHIFT key; wait at least for about 8 seconds after the startup chime, then let go. • You should notice that the bootup process will take abnormally long. This is because the drive is...

    iMac G5 Waking from Sleep

    I put my iMac G5 to sleep every night. I leave my ceiling fan turned on, but everything else in the room turned off. When my alarm goes off in the morning, the first thing I do is get up and turn the ceiling fan off at the wall switch so I can turn on the ceiling fluorescent light (I have to...

    Safari 'locks up' when on certain websites

    Very common issue in Safari. And the reason I stopped using it. I fully recommend Camino. It's Mozilla-based like Firefox, but it blends in with OS X much better than Firefox.

    Beta ads?

    Precisely. These ads are worse than popups., the banner ads between posts in threads was better than the hover ads.

    Beta ads?

    Me either, if this kind of stuff is going to happen to 2.0 I just might have to leave.

    Overall Comments on Site 2.0 Thread

    I too have major browser slowdowns and freezing when pages with those "active ads" are loading. It freezes my browser (Firefox on windows, Safari on Mac) and I am unable to do anything until it unfreezes. Active ads are by far the most annoying type of ad. I also do not like the fact that the...

    Beta ads?

    What is it with these ads on the Beta site? I find these are the MOST annoying ads I've ever encountered except for Flash ads. Edit: Stupid Photobucket resized the screenshot. If you ask me I think this site was better off the way it used to be.

    Gallery?
