1. It's customary to wait for people to ask to subscribe to a mailing list before subscribing them to it. 2. It's sensible to ensure there is a DNS entry for the mailing list host (& that it's had enough time to propagate?), so that people can actually get to the subscription management page...

Look what I saw on Google... :p Jim

The Apple website says that the current Pro Keyboard requires Mac OS X 10.2. Will it absolutely not work with <10.2, or will it just not work 100% (which I guess means some keys won't work)...? Cheers, Jim

Ah! It does. Quick fix is to switch the transport to http... Jim

Timeouts here too. Does the stream use a non-standard port that I need to enable on the firewall? Jim

Well, there's .mpeg and there's .mpeg - do you know which varient the file is supposed to be? What quicktime is trying to tell you is that it doesn't have a codec to "read" this particular type of .mpeg file. Chances are that it's something like DIVX. There is a 3rd party quicktime divx...

Just got the d-link bluetooth adapter. I can't get it to find either of my two bluetooth enabled phones (they pair with each other just fine). I've tried the whole re-install the BSD subsystem thing, and that didn't do anything. (The system prefs bluetooth stuff wasn't greyed out though)...

Cool, ta. Hmm, so it's all or nothing... :rolleyes: Jim

What happened to being able to have mail from an account appear in it's own mailbox? It disappeared when I upgraded to 10.2 :( Presumably you're supposed to use a rule instead? Pah! Jim

How do you register it? I found "Register iCal" on the iCal menu, but what's the SKU for iCal? What happens when you complete those forms? Jim

When 10.2/Jaguar is released, you will need a supported video card to take advantage of the speed increases that Quartz Extreme will bring. The standard 16Mb Rage 128 Pro tha most cubes shipped with is not supported (10.2 will work, it just won't be as quick). Supported cards that you can fit...

The Ogg Vorbis algorithm is inherently variable bit rate. Instead of specifying a bitrate to encode at, you specify a "quality setting" that approximates the quality of certain mp3 encoding bitrates, but with smaller file sizes. Eg. A quality setting of "4.99" results in quality close to...

Don't have one myself, but from what I've heard the best PC cards are the Orinico Gold and the Cisco ones. See reviews on www.practicallynetworked.com Jim

Anyone know if Apple's Bluetooth preview supports other bluetooth USB adapters? When's the full Bluetooth release scheduled for? Jim

Compression is what turns a Mb/s CD audio stream into a kb/s mp3/aac audio stream. For each (say) second of uncompressed audio stream (about 1.4Mbits worth), the encoder has (say) 128kbits to describe the original signal. It will keep adding detail until all 128kbits have been used. A...

I've got a Que! Fire 4x4x24x CDRW drive which I'd love to upgrade to a DVD-RW/CD-RW drive. Anyone know if it's possible to/tried just swapping the 5.25" unit for eg a Pioneer A-03 DVD-RW/CD-RW drive? These things just have a firewire -> IDE bridge in them don't they? Cheers, Jim

Sounds like your toothbrush gets power via an inductive loop. You can only do that in very close proximity. Anything that could transmit enough power would have enough power to cook whatever fleshy bits you put betwix transmitter and receiver... Jim

It'll be quite a while before a wireless monitor is possible (the bandwidth required is just too high). Wireless speakers is possible, but unless they're battery powered you'll have to have some sort of wired connection... You could power the speakers from the signal, but unless you want...

Actually it was rather less than 1x CD speed if I remember correctly - MD recording in realtime only needs to write data at about 1/5 CD write speed because the data is compressed (5:1). It managed a bit more than 1/5 speed though (which is why MD recorders stop and start when they record -...
