    Finally found the world's biggest idiot! (PC'ing his G5...)

    Why doesn't Altivec work on the G5? It has an altivec unit too.

    Installing Mac OSX on Intel based machine

    Sounds like you're doing something you shouldn't be doing....

    Munix hacked? Valid files for install of Leopard?

    Oooh, could be a root kit. In the terminal, can you do echo $PATH and see what that says?

    This sounds like a homework question, if I may say so ...

    Munix hacked? Valid files for install of Leopard?

    Oh and if you haven't already done it, download Little Snitch and have that running at all times. Helps you prevent unauthorized connects to the internet.

    Munix hacked? Valid files for install of Leopard?

    Do you play World of Warcraft? And have you been duped into viewing some of those account trading/gold buying sites?

    Entery Level Macbook?

    It's "fine" for WoW. But I would really suggest getting a Macbook Pro if you want to play WoW at a decent setting. The entrance to the Dark Portal (with all those meteor particles which you never notice until you play on an integrated video card) cause the whole frame rate to dip to 1 - 2 fps...

    The UK and America

    I actually agree with everything you've said, about China, the general perception of the US, etc. Apart from this. I have seen little to no evidence to back such a claim. There are numerous examples to cite, and I'll give you a few which appear to be a zeitgeist of the liberal mindset in...

    The UK and America

    I'm going to be blunt and say that most people are stupid. They're very easily influenced by what they read in the media and they rarely _ever_ engage the grey matter that God blessed them with. Take Britain for example. When Gordon Brown took over as Prime Minister over a year ago, I nearly...

    Printer setup

    How is the computer going to know what kind of paper you've just inserted into the printer? Most (all?) consumer grade printers rely on the computer to specify what kind of paper is being fed in. The current method works. You only need to specify the type of paper once and it will stay that...

    keyboard and mouse randomly unrecognize and then re-recognize.

    Did you install the drivers from your Leopard DVD? That should fix the problem (and probably the problem you had with your other keyboard as well).

    Would this method be better than Boot Camp???

    Yes. It's fairly good for a free product. Since Sun has purchased it, you can bet it will remain free for a very long time and the development pace can only get better. The current state o Virtual Box reminds me of the state Parallels was in a year ago. That's not a bad thing, but it means...

    Before I get a new Mac...

    So that's what he was asking. I got the rename bit, but I've never heard of the file size changing as the result of a simple rename. edit: You can start developing with wxWidgets the moment you install Xcode (which is quite neat!). Leopard comes with wxWidgets 2.8.4 installed by default...

    Before I get a new Mac...

    Yes, one setting does fit all. If you're really interested in customizing the hell out of your desktop, you should be running KDE and not OS X. The OS X approach works for the majority of people who see the computer as a tool and not as some lifestyle statement. That was an interesting bug...

    Giants: Citizen Kabuto problems...

    Best thing you can do is to send an email to Macplay and ask them if it is supported. I don't think it will be, since its originally released for 10.0 and then was later patched to run on 10.1. Lots of change went on internally in OS X during the move from 10.1 -> 10.2 -> 10.3 which meant that a...

    Subtitles for downloaded movies

    You can always use VLC to play the subtitled movies. As you can imagine, Quicktime doesn't really do that sort of thing.

    Sound

    It is right next to the camera. One of the small dots is the green light that indicates the camera is switched on, and the other is the mic.

    VM Fusion 2 better than Parallels 3?

    If you want virtualization on the cheap (i.e. for free) you can give VirtualBox a go. It's been bought out by Sun, so things can only get better!
