Don't forget added cost of the equipment you'd need if you weren't co-located. :) In addition to paying for the montly bandwidth of 1.5Mbs peak for a DSL line (you could have a peak much larger then that at a colo) you'd have the following extra charges: * Power (cost of power, plus cost...

If we can sue companies for making a righty only mouse, can we also sue companies that make a lefty only mouse? What about sueing a company for not making a mouse to use with your foot for people who have no arms? :) Now, I can't use any of these damn ergonomic mice, they don't fit my hand. I...

Nah, what would be cool would be getting a C64 to run Darwin and play the Simpson's on DiVX :) Getting the Cray is just a matter of money, getting the C64 to work would be talent :) Brian

A number of companies make USB print servers, linksys, dlink, etc. The AirPort Extreme from Apple even has built in USB printer sharing. Brian

The article is right on the money. Most supercomputers are not custom designs such as the top 10, the other 490 on the list are standard models sold by IBM/Sun/HP/Cray/SGI. Apple will not be offering a $2.6M computer off the shelf. You can go to http://store.sun.com and order a $2.6M computer...

The whole problem with these computers is operating environment. Most homes don't have the power to power them (most use 3 phase power), let alone the cooling environment for them. And, even if they did have the power, the cost just to keep it running and cool is huge. Brian

Check this: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Item.cfm?ID=5755&Item=APL661AU3LD Only $85, and they claim G5 compatiblity. They are really good with actually knowing what works where, and actaully testing to make sure it works. Brian

The problem is, in mirroring mode, it is just that, a mirror of what the main screen is. Because the main screen is not in the same ratio as the external monitor, it cannot mirror to the full screen, which is why you have the black bars at the top and the bottom. It is doing the same pixel...

The first graphite airport only had one port which was the WAN port, all the newer ones have both a WAN and a LAN port. Brian

It's a tad bit late to try to exchange them now, if the 20" iMac came out the day after you bought your 17", that was 8 weeks ago. Now if you tried the day after you bought it it would have worked. Brian

There is no place to put a video card in the iMac. Brian

You might be better off using Microsofts RDC client. Windows XP has a built in client where a remote user can login using an RDC client, and Microsoft makes an OS X RDC client. Brian

You mean S-Video. SVHS and S-Video are two completely seperate things. SVHS is SuperVHS which is an enchanced VHS system developed by Panasonic. S-Video is a type of connection, also called Y/C, the Y part is the black and white video signal, the C part is the color information. Many...

You need to look in the mysqld log files. Right after mysqld starts, it stops, something should show up in there. they should be in /usr/local/mysql/var. Brian

The title says it all. I finally got around to getting my printers installed on my box. Setup my HP Deskjet 845c and HP Photosmart 130 with the latest HP drivers, and I was actually impressed, they are starting to be decent drivers, the P130 even shows ink levels! So, I get them setup on my box...

You won't find a video card for a mac that has s-video in, a few will have out. The only retail card that works for a mac that is currently sold is the ATI Radeon 7000 PCI. Other then that, they will all have only DVI, VGA, or ADC connectors. A normal PC video card will not work with a mac, only...

Well, first of all /usr/local/mysql is a directory, and you keep trying to run it as a command. Try this: cd /usr/local/mysql sudo ls bin/mysqld_safe sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe & This should start mysqld for you. The first sudo line is just to make sure you are authenticated with sudo so...

Most likely when you upgraded to panther you also went to iCal 1.5.1. There is a well known bug with iCal 1.5.1 where alarms do not like to work. So far Apple's only solution on this is this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25655 which is really no help at all. There is a...

Is mysqld running? Brian
