    My refrigerator keeps my computer up!

    Thanks! Unfortunately, I already thought of that, but I have two problems with that theory: 1) The computer and fridge are on opposite sides of the room, with no contact between the surface on which the computer is sitting (the desk) and the fridge. I rather doubt (although I suppose it is...

    My refrigerator keeps my computer up!

    I have noticed recently that there is a direct correlation between my refrigerator shutting off and my computer waking up. That is, for some reason, if my computer is fully asleep (pulsing light) when the compressor on my refrigerator shuts off, my computer will wake up. Put it back to sleep...

    War and Religion

    I would make a distinction between what is required of us as Christians, and what is required for salvation. As Scott has pointed out, and quoted a number of good verses to support, salvation is by faith alone. Someone who has faith in Jesus, regardless of what they have done or will do in the...

    Random iTunes..

    Actually, this isn't quite true. While it does create a playlist, it is not repeated in that order. Upon coming to the end of the playlist and repeating, it re-shuffles the playlist, creating the same effect as if it was choosing randomly with no repeats until it has played all the songs. It...

    Apple Pro Speakers Mod

    I too would like to know if it is possible to modify my Apple Pro speakers in this way. Speaking as an electrical engineering major in his Junior year, it certainly sounds possible, although I don't have enough info on the components or enough confidence in my abilities to be sure :) It would be...

    Changing the TRASH ICON

    If you prefer to do it manually, the icons for the trash and finder are located in /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/ They are .png files, and can simply be replaced with whatever .png file you want. You then have to delete the dock icon cache (located in...

    FTP clients that will resume????

    In order to get Fetch to resume a file transfer, just double click the partially downloaded file. It will open in fetch and pick up where it left off.

    PB G5 jajajajajaja!!

    Note the note at the bottom of the page: "Picture from: Epix3d(www.epix3d.8m.com), it's a design not a real G5, as G5 don't exist yet." So yes, that would imply that the picture is a fake, as Epix3d designs and renders 3-D graphics for the mac (acording to thhe info on their site). So there is...

    OS X updates on magazine cover CDs??

    I think he is refering to the 10.2.x updates though, not the major 10.x upgrades. Correct me if I am wrong :)

    MyTV XTC and Applescript

    The other day I downloaded and installed the recently released version of MyTV XTC, and was pleased to discover that it was apparently apple-scriptable. I say apparently, because when I choose Open Dictionary... in script editor, the MyTV XTC application is listed, and it shows commands such...

    iSync, iCal & Palm Desktop.... ahhh!

    Mine syncs properly with iCal, and not palm desktop. Do you have BOTH the palm desktop calendar AND address book conduits disabled (through the palm desktop HotSync Manager)? In my experience, I had to disable both palm conduits before the iSync conduit would work, although this may have been...

    How many photos can the random desktop photo selecter handle?

    I have 230 some pictures, no problems here. So it is somewhere between 230 and 588 :)

    that darn'd system-xfree86 placeholder

    I encountered the same error when trying to install it on my iMac. I found that if you try installing from source rather than from the binary, the error is explained somewhat better, listing a number of files it was looking for, but could not find. At least, that's what it did on my machine...

    Replaceing the Login Screen Under MacOS X (10.2)

    Is the login screen the expected size (aside from having the wrong image)? If so, then the login.nib file is fine, and doesn't need editing. If you wanted to edit it, this would be done using Interface builder, which is installed with the developer tools. As for the image, where exactly did...

    iMac 333 HD Replacement

    Well, the disk utilities don't actually say it's bad, but I suspect this is primarily due to the fact that the disk utilities don't even SHOW the disk, making it rather difficult to scan ;) Or so I gather from his description. So will just any standard size ATA hard drive work? Or is there...

    iMac 333 HD Replacement

    It would appear that the hard drive on my brother's iMac 333 MHZ is dying. At any rate he frequently gets the blinking question mark icon on startup (although not always) and the hard drive does not show up in the installer or disk utility when booted from the install CD (although again, not...

    Replaceing the Login Screen Under MacOS X (10.2)

    That last .nib file I sent you should work for any login screen replacement you get. It is actually sized for a 480x360 pixel image, while the one you sent me was only 400x320. So if it is working for that image, it should work for just about any. Of course, if it doesn't for some reason, feel...
