    DVD recorders(Ext/Internal) & Questions!

    I think you're really confused about some things. Firewire and USB are two completely different technologies. Altho they are both used for transfering data, thats about the only thing they have in common. You question about them working togeather is about the same as saying "my computer has...

    Best manufacturer of cheap hard disk storage

    When it comes to external firewire drive units, they are basically all exactly the same. Just about every single maker uses the Oxford 911 chipset and the same exact drives made by ibm/hitachi/western digital/maxtor/etc. The only difference between a LaCie external drive and a no name one is the...

    Korn Shell in Tiger?

    All they are doing is _adding_ ksh to the standard distribution. They are not changing shells again. And as for the change from csh to bash as the default shell, that was the smartest move they have ever made. csh is the worst shell possible, and should never be used for anything. See...

    setenv DISPLAY

    Not to mention the fact that it's secure and encrypted by using ssh, which is a plus to the ease of use :) Brian

    setenv DISPLAY

    Run ssh with the -X option, it will enable forwarding of X11 over ssh, and will set the display for you. Otherwise, you probably didn't run the xhost command on your OS X box to allow X11 incoming connections. Brian

    so pissed! soundblaster live sound card :(

    Nope, you're SOL on using the SBL in OS X. Creative screwed us. Take a look at the cards from m-audio, they have great mac support. The revolution 5.1 from them is about $100. Brian

    dual monitors not working

    there is such a thing as a radeon that doesn't support two heads. Just because it has all the connectors doesn't mean it can do non-mirrored. Brian

    tr command just for text files?

    Do not run it on binaries, it can mess them up if it contains the text sequence. Brian

    To be respected, DVD zoning must respect its users

    The entire letting you change zones 5 times is a nice thing put in place for people who up and physically move their computers to different zones. It is _not_ so you can watch zone's that you're not entitled to. Next time pick a legal issue to complain about, not complaining about how Apple is...

    Is there an adapter to use a PC Card on a 12" Powerbook?

    Your best bet if you want to use a 12" powerbook is, ditch teh EDGE card and just use internet access via a phone connected via USB cable. You can probably get a cheap phone for free that you can connect via USB. There are numberous websites around with directions on how to setup internet acces...

    Which books for system administration ?

    get the "unix system administration handbook" by nemeth/snyder/seebass. I think the current version has a purple cover on it. It's probably the best general sysadmin book ever made. Brian

    Pages... showstopper? or non-issue?

    So, it appears that Pages has no mail merge functionality. My question is, am I one of a select few freaks who uses mail merge, or is it commonly used? Brian
