    "3GHz in 12 months"...should I buy now?

    I'm going from a Ti Book 500 to the dual 2 GHz beast. It's more bang than I need right now, but while I've got the bucks... Remember that when the dual 3.0's come out, the dual 3.5 - 4.0 will be "just around the corner". The top of the line model will never stay on top for more that 6 months.

    RAID question for you pros

    To stripe drives together they should be the same size. Preferably the same make/model. If I were you I'd put the 160GB on the internal bus (use as boot disk) and stripe the 2 120GB disks on the sonnet card. Remember that when you stripe you get better performance at the expense of a...

    deleted root cronta??

    Is the root crontab empty by default after a fresh Jag install (+update to 10.2.4)? Mine is empty and I think I may have wiped it out by accident.

    New PowerBooks: two questions.

    If it's basically the same superdrive that is in the powermac, then yes it can. It is not advertised though. iDVD won't work with RW disks.

    Problem with PowerMac Sales

    I doubt that there will be much, if any, public warning when macs start shipping with a new CPU. I would kill the sales of the existing units in the distribution channels. However, apple will have to notify developers that their products may need a recompile or whatever to run on any new CPU's...

    FireWire 800

    Hopefully someone with some clout in the unix world (like Sun) will come out with a cheap storage (RAID) product that utilises Fw800 rather that (I think) more expensive fibre and SCSI. I guess this is why Apple have delayed their own RAID for the Xserve...

    Which PowerBook G4 do you like?

    I like the 17", but won't look at buying one until after the next Macworld. Let them iron out any bugs (remember the battery problem with the original TiBook?). Who knows? Maybe by then they'll have dual 64bit CPU's. It is wide enough!

    Putting a program to sleep?

    You could get the apps PID: ps ax | grep <app> | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' Then send it a STOP signal: kill -STOP <pid> To start it again: kill -CONT <pid> You could tie it together with `backticks` kill -STOP `ps ax | grep <app> | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

    airport question

    Never mind. I bought the airport today and it works the way I thought it would (with the ADSL router as the DHCP server). My cisco vpn 5000 client even works, but I had to uncheck NAT then reselect it to get data to transfer across the VPN(?) I tested the PC's connection by turning off the...

    airport question

    Thanks for the response, but put the knives away. I did search the forums, but none really answered the question. I should really elaborate... I've had ADSL for about a year. I have currently: - Alcatel Speedtouch 510 single port ethernet ADSL router. - TiBook (10.2) Soon a WinXP PC will...

    airport question

    I'm thinking of buying an Airport to connect a PC + my TiBook to the internet. Can a Win XP PC (connected to the Airport LAN port) and my TiBook (connected via Airport card) get served ip addresses from my ADSL router connected to the WAN port? I do not want the Airport to act as a DHCP...

    Perl Warning

    Did you install perl 5.8.0?? I got the same thing. Try this: setenv LC_ALL C setenv LANG C I'm not 100% sure what effect this will have on your scripts is, but it should be ok. If it works then you'll have to edit your .cshrc (or .profile, etc...) to make the change permanent.
