Well I am rather stupid with these quiz things, and I don't remember most of the answers.
However I do know who was the other Admin. Blackspot was the other Admin, he did most of the story approving.
Does anyone remember the old icons MR used for Games? OS X?

Posixninja just tweeted that this is the slowest progressing jailbreak ever. I'm guessing no jb for iPad 2 anytime soon. We need geohot back
Yes, he can be annoying, but there's no denying he's brilliant. Maybe now he's settled with Sony, he'll be back again with iOS.

And what's with this paying for incoming minutes thing? The payment should be the responsibility of the person doing the calling. At least, that's how it seems to work over here.
Seems to work like that in Europe, i guess. If I call someone in France for instance, then they have to pay at least some of the incoming call.
In the UK the caller pays for the call which seems the sensible way of doing things.
I do get dropped calls, here, though, but's that's 'cause I use a cheap-ass Pay as you go card with Virgin, who piggy-back on to other networks, it sems. But not often, it has to be said.

Mac Mini.
I know this is theoretically possible, but just wondering if anyone else has ever done it.
Is it possible to copy the entire conents (system, everything) from the mac mini internal harddrive onto a lacie external firewire drive. Then choose that as my startup volume and benefit from increased speed?
I know in theory it should be (well at least if I did a clean install of the os on the lacie) but as I don't want to reinstall all my apps & updates since, i was thinking of just copying the entire HD onto the lacie...
Anyone done this?
(I haven't tried yet as I'm still waiting for UPS to deliver the lacie)...

Go with 32bit, as you say, since you only have 2GB, 64 bit would be a waste as it can take advantage of 4GB and more, it can use less however, but I think it would be better for you to go with 32bit. Are you doing it in a virtual machine?

T-Mobile is the low-end carrier. Who on this green Earth uses them? They serve no purpose.
Cingular if you want GSM/SIM cards
Verizon if you want the widest American network
Sprint if you want cheapest/fastest unlimited data
T-Mobile if you.. um.. if you're 11 years old and think Sidekicks are cool?
The only way this will go well is if Apple does an MVNO. They need control of "the whole widget."
Why can't people get the concept of "get what works for you" and just ignore people posturing that this or that is better for them when nobody is in the same exact place as everybody else.
Your last comment however, is spot on. A matter of fact from what I've read Apple wants to hold a certain amount of control over the whole matter of providing the service.

are you sure that the bluetooth is off. I havent use a bt enabled imac before, but since they dont relaly have to worry about saving energy i would imagine tht its possible that the bt is always on.

$170 is day light robbery imo
Of course it is for you. You're from London where you can request an iPhone unlocked for free or for a very small price. In the US all iPhones are locked and ATT will not unlock them PERIOD!! So $170 is not robbery when there are no other options for a factory unlocked phone.

This will be correct unless the nokia JV with microsoft saves the day for windows mobile
Rumor has it that MS will go dormant (if it hasn't already) and introduce windows 8 with Nokia.
With apple having Lion OS being very similar to iOS (a single iOS on phone and PC), Microsoft might go the same way for their mobile device (making it the same or even closer with windows 8 & windows mobile 8 (or worse windows mobile 7.5 and windows 8) but one OS aka Apple

By creating an Alternate OS thread if people wanted to yap about Android/Windows/Etc they could go there and keep the other threads clear.
No, it wouldn't. People don't bother to post relevant replies in the proper "mega threads" in the first place (take a look at the daily "Just got my MBP" threads as an example). Plus, Android/Windows/whatever threads are often on different enough topics that merging them would cause accusations of stifling discussion of alternative OSs.

I have a 14" ibook in good condition; it's never been abused or dropped.
It worked fine until recently (the computer itself is still operational).
I have the original Apple power cord.
The ibook works if I plug in the power cord (with no battery in the computer), so the connector and the DC-in jack don't appear to be the problem.
If I try to run it on battery alone, nothing happens. It doesn't power on. The battery is used, but still has some charge, is currently about 97% charged and all the battery test lights light up.
If I put the battery into the computer and plug in the power jack, the computer works fine (off AC power) and even "sees" the battery and reports the stats.
But...
the little green/amber light ring on the power cord no longer lights up. It's as though the computer can "see" the battery but the power source is unable to connect to it and charge it (and it won't run from battery).
Same problem if I swap out the power cord with another one that I know is in good shape, so it's not the power cord.
Any idea what might be the problem? A cable, a component?

let me see if i understand the resolution thing:
we'll be able to adjust the resolution of monitors to really high settings, but instead of everything having to be tiny (windows, menus, text, etc.), we'll be able to make them normal size without them looking crappy? sounds awesome to me.
You can't adjust a monitor so that it has a higher resolution than it inherently does. However, if you have a high res screen, it can behave at (seemingly) lower resolutions (eg: it can operate at a size similar to 1280x800 on the MacBook), except that it would be sharper than a MacBook's screen because the screen has 1920 x 1200 pixels trying to create a desktop size equivalent to 1280x800. So instead of the 110 dpi LCD screens we have now when a 1920x1200 screen operates as a 1920 x 1200 screen, it would operate with a dpi of like 150 dpi if a 1920x1200 resolution LCD was working to create a desktop similar to a 1280 x 800 workspace.
***But again, correct me if I'm either wrong, or not entirely correct, because I want to understand this as well. :)
But like MarkCollette said, this resolution independence thing does scare me a bit as well. I want things to looks smaller if I have a resolution independent screen. Sure I wouldn't want text to be so small that I can't read it, but if they had a way to scale the text larger while leaving other elements nice and small, it would be rather ace.

Based on the above drawings, this would be a disaster.
The interface is now clunky, crowded and unintuitive.
Biggest problem- take a look-it will require two hands to operate, thereby negating what every one else has been trying to imitate-the ease of use of the iPod scroll wheel.
Oh please... :rolleyes: This is a stupid drawing, the iPod is not gonna look like this. The Apple engineers know what they are doing.

You have to use that programe on the Mac. I was wondering if on a PC if there is any way to convert the windows media file to a MP3 file with iTunes or something?
That is good to know that I can do it on my Mac. Thank You for the link.

Thanks for the tip and yes, that's exactly what I did. Macbook Air has a tiny hard drive and I was running out of space. I will need to buy another 1TB hard drive to backup my TC going forward!
Ah, the air..yes and hard to upgrade to a bigger drive if i remember right. its unfortunate but yeah if its going to be a storage drive then you should back the storage drive too.
I'd back up your music off your iphone ASAP. One cant have enough backups.
