    Denial of Service attack? on a Mac?

    Surely if it were a DOS attack all of the machines using that router would be affected, regardless of whether it was directed at your mac-it would still be flooding through the router causing all connections to be slow/fail. If the wired connection has no problems then it could simply be...

    New mouse

    Sounds good, I'll still try before I buy though! (my v500 is a travelling solution not a desktop one!)

    New mouse

    Do you have to hover your fingers above the buttons or can you rest them on the button area?

    New mouse

    I do have a v500. It's a really nice mouse, and small too. The only thing is that occasionally I accidentally scroll and that is a bit annoying, but otherwise good. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/productlist/US/EN,crid=2140&categoryid=415

    New mouse

    The Logitech V500 has touch sensitive scroll. The L&R buttons are not touch sensitive though! So not quite first, but close :)

    Background noise removal software

    Playing the tracks through itunes with the graphics equalizer preset to Vocal Booster *may* help clear up the voice. If that works you could then tinker with the frequencies to further isolate the background noise. You could then use the audio out to record to another format. You could even use...

    New mouse

    I hope it has been worked out because otherwise it would make the new mouse practically unusable for me. Damn my lazy fingers, but it's been too many years to try and break the habit...

    New mouse

    The new mouse does look great, however I would have to try it before I bought it. I didn't discover I had 'lazy' fingers until after I had bought a mouse with a touch sensitive scroll 'wheel.' In use I rest my fingers on the mouse buttons, and every once in a while I'll have scrolled to the...

    Mac to Pc File Sharing

    The easiest and quickest way, by far, is to use an external hard drive formatted to fat32. fat32 can be read and written to by Windows and OSX. Copy the files from the mac to the external drive and then move the drive to the pc and copy them onto that pc.

    Spotlight going into Vista???¿¿???

    I am glad Windows will have this feature, eventually. At the very least Apple will have to come up with something even better. In that respect, competition is good for all of us, so who cares if the idea was lifted ? What I really love is that Microsoft cannot make anything simple and easy to...

    Overzealous fan in my Mini

    Since owning my powerbook, each update seems to mess with the cooling. 10.3.7 ran cool, 10.3.8 ran hot, 10.3.9 ran very cool, 10.4 ran hot, 10.4.1 ran very hot, 10.4.2 runs cool. Since my software installed remains the same (mostly,) throughout, I can only assume that it is the updates that...

    Synchronizing Palm

    kingtj: You are mistaken on all fronts. I have Palm desktop and Documents To Go on my powerbook, the OSX versions. Huts: sorry, can't help on this one, except to suggest repairing disk permissions.

    100 GB Harddisk

    On a pc, it's essential, for me, to partition drives as it is easier and safer to have my programs and data separated. I can backup my data partitions easily and if Windows dies I can easily re-install/restore without too much fuss and get going again quickly. Plus I have my pagefile (swap) on...

    Which DVD-R media to stay away from?

    Verbatim dvd's are the best I have used. I have burnt a lot of dvd's on various macs and pc's and only ever had one verbatim unreadable dvd. I can't say that for any other brand that I have used and I now use verbatim exclusively unless forced to use another brand. (never use Sony discs...

    Airport Extreme And Linksys Wrt54g Router

    I would try to set up the network settings (in system preferences, tcp/ip tab) on the mac manually, ensure that you have entered the router address and choose an ip number that is in the range of ip addresses your lan has assigned by dhcp. The router should sign on to aol for you, if it works...
