    converting PHP to HTML

    billbaloney: that would only copy the files as is without "compiling" the php. My suggestion is using wget to automatically download the whole site by recursively following all links. It's the -r option iirc. What would definitely be easier would be to get a cheap web hosting plan with php...

    US bans iPod sales and other gadgets to North Korea

    Companies trading with U.S. embargoed countries are subjects to the embargo themselves, i.e. a company can't trade with both the U.S. and a U.S. embargoed country. The U.S. is obviously a better market that any of the embargoed countries, so the choice for most multinational companies is...

    Allowing Xbox 360 to use Shared Connection from a Mini

    It sounds like you've configured the Mac correctly. How are they connected? The Mac should be directly connected to the Xbox, or connected though a switch that is not connected to another router.

    New iTV (Not final name)

    Where's the TV tuner and the optical drive? :P Without those, the device is pretty useless unless you buy all your music and movies from iTunes.

    How to get past iTune's stupid DRM?

    You lose audio quality when converting to "lossy" formats (MP3, AAC, Ogg), but not to lossless formats (AIFF, WAVE, Apple Lossless, FLAC etc.). That is, you will lose audio quality if you burn a CD with from AAC files and convert them back to AAC, but not if you convert back to AIFF or Apple...

    Anyone actually use a Mac for servers?

    Mac OS X Server is probably the least efficient server OS on the planet, so the only advantage it has over others for web hosting is the simple administration user interface. Custom configurations that Apple didn't implement in their software, however, are more work to implement in Mac OS X...

    Too slow

    You should probably get another GB of RAM. If the image editing software you use happens to be Photoshop, it will perform slowly because the current version of Photoshop does not run natively on Intel Macs.

    English to Arabic via InDesign?

    Adobe has the practice of charging extra for enabling other scripts. In fact, you'll have to buy a separate Arabic version of InDesign to be able to write Arabic. The free workaround is to set the types in e.g. TextEdit and exporting to PDF through the Print dialog. You can then import the...

    Installing PHP extensions/modules

    You can install Xcode and the developer tools, which include gcc compilers. The latest version of Xcode can be downloaded at http://developer.apple.com . PHP has quite a few dependencies which you'd also have to compile and install, though, so I'll rather recommend Marc Liyanage's PHP packages...

    video: macbook pro fan noise... dying fans

    It's definitely widespread. I don't know one MacBook Pro that doesn't have the problem. Listening to that sound variying between slow ticking and diesel engine noise does get quite annoying while working. I suppose all of the computers that are affected by the problem, are also affected by...

    Laughable feature Vista on Apple.com

    The userhouse seems to be that in Vista. But In would be, even though Visacomputers run streaming from server with fans for cooling. Anyway, don't you think it's time to try something else than self-grown mushrooms for breakfast?
