    OMG!!!!1 WhAt A H@x0r!!1!!11

    Kn0b-speak, what a load of rubbish. I'd have everyone who uses it shot on sight. :mad: Having said that, I've seen many of these so-called people write and spell like 6 year olds, so perhaps its the only way they can communicate. :) No, I will not contaminate myself with such...

    OMG!!!!1 WhAt A H@x0r!!1!!11

    silly.. :-) Whats with this semi-retarded writing with jumbled characters? I've seen it all over the net and keep thinking it's some kind of code that can only be read by class 1 w@nkers.

    CherryOS Released! Run MacOS X on x86!

    I agree, but.. I played with PearPC under Linux and yes, it was too slow for anything worthwhile and the entire community around it is utterly pointless, but it did give me a taste of what I was missing out on, having played with it for a few weeks and then the real thing at the Apple Store in...

    PocketMac vs Missing Sync PocketPC

    UPDATE I've switched from a Zodiac to an Acer n30 Pocket PC, Mark/Space transferred my licence as agreed and I'm fairly happy. There are some niggles but Mark/Space say it's not their problem. i.e. If I have my week in iCal set to start on Saturday, appointments randomly sync to the following...

    Totally uninspired by Tiger

    I did seriously consider upgrading, but now have decided against it. I'll wait and see how things stand in 6 months or so. I must admit I'm not sure the new features will make a major difference to me, the perennial desire to upgrade every time something, anything new comes out is so silly...

    Video encoding

    I have tried all those, I have Handbrake for it's uses, but I'm more concerned with converting various formats from one to another, for example, PocketTV on my handheld uses MPEG-1, I can't find anything which does a decent job, I'm having to use my old software SLOWLY in VirtualPC, I'd prefer...

    Video encoding

    I'm getting quite disillusioned, I can't find any good video converter/encoder/transcoding software without some ridiculous price tag. As a Linux convert to Mac, I'm hoping for something which is opensource or free but have been let down so far. ffmpegX is just useless, I get so many...

    PocketMac vs Missing Sync PocketPC

    I don't know if there is a difference between the PocketPC or Palm versions of MissingSync, but I've been using it with a Palm device and it syncs flawlessly, I can sync and surf via bluetooth too with no problems. Works fine and was definately worth the money... ..but the device I bought was...

    Tiger is GO!!!!!!!

    oh, nice... (he says choking on drool) "Down Mac mini, down!! You can't have it yet I'm too poor!" I think in May I will be picking a copy up... I'm going to be in London from 4th - 6th May, do you think they'll have a copy?

    What does the Mac Mini mean for Sonnet?

    I sympathise with your dillema, we were in a similar bind with £750 to spend, not a penny more, with a need for TWO machines. It's a point I raised on another thread, sure with would be great to shell out thousands on the latest G5, but we can't all do that. Some of us also have a problem in...

    How did you meet your other half (gf, bf, wife, husband, true love etc)?

    One night in 98 while I still drank booze, I went for the first time into a Chat Room. I'd never done it before. I started talking to someone, couldn't remember much the next day when the phone rang. We chatted for 8 hours and about 4 hours everyday for a month, then I took one hell of a risk...

    Any aid workers?

    I'd seriously recommend my friend that you don't consider Iraq yet, things are very unsettled there and the kind of people who take hostages don't care for the motivation behind your efforts. But your desire to want to help others is great and I've done a lot voluntary work here. Africa is a...

    Mac mini - Didn't feel the love..

    Thanks! :) It's a really nice platform, pure pleasure to use.

    Mac mini - Didn't feel the love..

    I don't think you read what I said or understood what I meant so I apologise for not being clear. I wanted a Mac to replace my Linux box with an AMD 1.6GHz and a Sun SPARCstation 20 running Solaris, the mini should have done that and my research showed it should and guess what? It did! I was...

    Finder - Where's the files?

    Firstly, genuine apologies if this has been covered before, I've searched but not found anything relating to this (maybe I'm not too sure what to search for). Sometimes when I open a finder window and expect to see folders and files, I see nothing. Going up a level and back sometimes fixes...

    new to OS X...not unix

    Or get VirtualPC and hack about in there without affecting the OS X itself.

    Mac mini - Didn't feel the love..

    Well, I'm as happy as a pig in muck with this machine, yes, 512MB is really needed at a minimum for most users but I have to confess, I did not really notice too much of a lag with 256MB. This Mac is running smoooooooth. I think Apple should really put 512MB as the base spec. it wouldn't break...

    PDA compatibility on OS X

    Sorry but you CAN use that device with Macs right now. http://www.markspace.com/ppc_devs.html?osCsid=d494c620fc89baebdf787de700ec7aee MissingSync provides support for many PocketPC and Palm devices including the machine you want. I'm using my new Tapwave Zodiac2 with my new Mac mini quite...
