I've got 2GB of RAM (four 512MB chips) for a PowerMac G5 that I'd like to sell. They're still in the plastic packaging and have never been used. I'm asking $175. Sound about right? I've also got an Ihara R710 densitometer. It's pretty old, and I don't really know how to test it (hell, I...

So I'm going to be buying a 2.5 G5 come January, and I'm pickin' out the pieces now. The only thing that gets me is the different graphics cards. What are the differences? I've decided to get one with 256 MB of RAM. The Apple site says that the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 DDL cards are the...

I'm selling the parts from my broken 1400. I can make no guarantees, and give no refunds, but I'm quite certain that the PowerBook's problem was with the power/motherboard, rather than the processor or RAM. There are also some other random bits you might be interested in if you've got a 1400...

I plugged my bass into GarageBand last night, set up some funkay funkay drums and horns and banjo (for ROCK POWER) flipped the loop on, and just went to town on it for a few hours. Every once in a while, I'd have to stop playin', delete some tracks, replace them with new tracks, and then get...

So I'm cleaning out my closet, lookin' for things that eBay might enjoy... NOTHING! Just a bunch of old software. :( For a shipping and handling fee of $10, I'll send this stuff anywhere in the continental United States. If you wanna send more than $10 to help fund my...

Real quick... I'm layin' out a new song in GarageBand, and it's in the key of A minor. F major is the same thing as A minor, I think. Seeing that GB doesn't give a place to put the scale when you pick a key, should I tell it that the song is in A or F? Does it really even matter if you're...

Today I noticed my uptime was almost a month, and I thought I be a polite young lad and give my G4 the ol' restart. But when I tried, all I got was a cursor against the desktop picture. Nothing lists in the cmd-opt-escape window, and Cancel and Sleep are the only functional buttons in the...

I'm finally doin' my first eBay auction. Too exciting. For sale is a Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge in great shape. My dad used it to copy my embarrassing baby videos onto his PowerBook. I have little experience with it, but the time I used it to copy a VHS tape to my computer produced good...

I am running Panther, and tonight, I tried to install Lynx. So I found a nice little 2.8.4 package installer (http://www.osxgnu.org/software/Networking/lynx/), because compiling from source and I never really made friends, and gave it a run. I ignored the warning that it was a "Jaguar only...

I'm making my band a shiny new website, and I've decided to store its innards as XML instead of the weird custom markup I was using before. Parts of the site's data are based on dates, and I've come up with two possible ways to format it. Way one... <event_list> <year n="2003"> <month...

I haven't seen one post about the new wireless keyboard and mouse. I like the way they look, but I'd be quite worried about battery life. Of course, the mouse still has only one button. :mad: So stubborn. I'm lookin' into getting a wireless Kensington. :D

So I just got this nice new server with a domain name and everything, which rules because I used to host my site off a PowerBook and it occasionally woke me up at night. The trouble is that The new server is in Asia (I think maybe Hong Kong, but I'm no good at remembering things) and PHP's...

Might anyone here know who's playing I've Got The World On A String on that new Lexus commercial? Sounds like a very cool song, but the only versions I can find are like, big band jazz. The one in the commercial is kinda minimal. I don't really know what you'd call that kind of music. Any...

I have really no AppleScript experience, so I figure I should ask for some help before my head explodes. I'm trying to change the title of a menu item when a drawer opens. on opened theObject if name of theObject = "theDrawer" then tell window "mainWindow" to set title of button...

Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum; I was torn between the two, but I figure this can apply to more than just PHP. Basically, I need to give PHP write access to my entire web directory (/Library/WebServer/Documents/), including subfolders, and all the files inside. Permissions freak me...

Does anyone know of a simple way to run an AppleScript when a PHP page is hit? Specifically... http://www.waferbaby.com/software/tuna/ :)

I really really like this idea, but I'm a little worried that the files are crippled in some way. When I go to create a new account, it tells me that I can "burn any unchanged playlist up to 10 times" and "play music on up to three Macs." Are the files I'd buy from the service just regular...

...And you Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead is at the very top of the Rock list! THEY ARE GUNNA BLOW UP LIKE *NSYNC NOW. Awesome! Seriously, it was all good and heart-warming to see 'em there. Really an underrated band. Check 'em out and buy their records. :)

After reading the report at macwhispers.com, I got to thinkin'... I just checked, and while http://www.apple.com/poop brings up a "not found" message, http://www.apple.com/pda brings up the Apple home page. Someone at Apple must've told it to do that, right? Anyone care to speculate?

Hello hello. I am working on creating a very very simple XML parser in PHP. It will load an XML file and return it as an array, and and array within that array and another within that, if the particular file so requires. It doesn't seem like a horribly difficult concept (I say without...
