So last night I was checking my email after work and my computer makes a weird beep. I realized that the sound is made by Connect360 when a connection is made to an Xbox. I opened the program and it says my 360 is connected and media is being shared with it. This means that whoever stole my 360 is still in range of my wireless network.
Got in my car with my laptop and found the range on my network is a bit larger than I had expected. About 8-10 houses on my block get at least some signal from my network
This morning at 5am, my 360 connected to the network again and I decided to take a walk around the neighboorhood to see who was awake. I found two houses within range of my network that had a blue glow in the window from a TV. When the 360 was disconnected from the network about 30 mins later, I walked back around and there was one house that no longer had the TV on.
I'm going to call the police department and talk to the officer that has been handling my case. I'm pretty sure I don't have enough information for them to get a search warrant but I'm getting more confident about actually getting my 360 back than I was three days ago.
Bust some balls, HOOAH!
It's like CSI for gamers, lol.

i say go for the 10G (i have one my self) cos not only is it the lightest but also the slimest taken not by much but every bit counts. It is also i believe best value for money unless you really do need more the 10G of space to carry round. as mentioned before you also have the added value of the remote case and the touch wheel over the 5G version.

The first time I inserted a DVD I had to pick a region, this is on my 2 year old PowerBook G4. It might be a Mac OS X 10.3 thing ?
But I think Breckenridge iMac is new so don't worry.

You misunderstood what I said about larger sized chips. By shrinking a chip size you also shrink the length of the connections between transistors thus speeding up the chip. This has nothing to do with the clock rate. This is why chip manufacturors are constantly going to smaller and smaller etching.
You seem to have some serious misunderstandings about how that works. It is the fundamental nature of synchronous digital devices (such as all current processors) not to get faster or slower without a change in design or a change in clock speed.
Chip makers go to smaller manufacturing processes for several reasons, including the fact that die sizes are smaller which makes the chips cheaper to manufacture, that the chips can clock higher, and that the chips tend to produce less heat at a given clockspeed.
Die size itself does not dictate clock speed. It can influence it because errors are more common during the manufacture of larger dies, and it can influence it if the die is so large that signals cannot propigate as far as they need to during a single clock cycle. However simply adding something like an AltiVec unit to a G3 would not cause either of these to happen to any large degree since the die size is so darn small right now (20% or something the size of a P4).
Also I know that the G4 uses a slightly different architecture that allows simmetric-multiproccessing this doesn't change the fact that the G4 was a very small step from the G3 and in whole was based upon the G3.
Times change. The 750fx has little in common with the MPC7455.
Yes I do believe that IBM was able to achieve 2ghz with a G3.
You are wrong. IBM surely posseses chips that can make it to 2.0ghz, but the 750fx is not one of them. No two ways about it. It is not possible to take a 750fx chip to 2ghz, no matter how lucky you are. There is a limit which clock speeds of a design will approach and never exceed, no matter how many samples are tried. You can rest assured that the limit is less than 2ghz; it's probably in the low 1.x ghz range.

Does the whole line run much hotter or just the 1.25?
What about all the talk around the case's cooling properties being for the "new chip" or much faster G4 models yet to come?
If the duals are running that how- I don't expect to ever see them in the powerbook
I own a new Dual/Ghz/DDR and the cpus do not run any hotter then the old cpus in fact the overall card runs cooler. Same chip same speed half the cache. Because there is less cache the overall card produces less heat.
I think part of the cooling is to aid in cooling the Bus and DDR Ram. Maybe the 7470s if they ever materialize run hotter or maybe the cpu that Motorola is keeping up there sleeve that no one talks about.

I'm not pleased with this development, because Apple's DRM is necessary to maintain the compromise they made with the record labels and allow the iTunes Music Store to exist in the first place. If the labels gets the jitters about how well Apple is controlling distribution, that threatens a good part of our "supply" of music, even though I wouldn't expect a large percentage of mainstream customers to actually use a program like PyMusique.
Will Apple be able to teach the iTunes Music Store to distinguish the real iTunes client from PyMusique with software changes only on the server side? If not, I imagine that only an iTunes update (which people would have to install) could stop the program from working.
Suppose iTunes is updated to use a new "secret handshake" with the iTunes Music Store in order to stop other clients from spoofing iTunes. Will iTunes have any way to distinguish tunes previously purchased through PyMusique from tunes acquired from other sources, i.e., ripped from CDs? Perhaps the tags identify them as coming from iTMS and iTunes could apply DRM after the fact. Then again, tags can be removed.

I don't think thats an iMac. If I compare mine to that one, I see the chin is smaller on that, and the the screen is too close to the bottom of the "rectangle part".
G99, do you have a 17 inch model or a 20 inch model?
I agree. The computer seems too far down on its stand to be an iMac. I'm taking this from seeing my 20" iMac G5.

My PS3 was folding from Thursday through Saturday morning... well... at some point it froze, my PS3 bricked and now I have a new PS3.
I'm kinda scared to start it going again although I hear many people have left theirs on longer. I really want to fold (and the PS3 can fold well!) but I don't want to have to get a new PS3 every few days to do it...

I was very suspicious of this when I first saw it. But then I went to Ambrosia's website and it was actually there, so I downloaded it just for fun, even though I didn't really believe it. I had a feeling it was an April Fools prank. Then I read the comments on the review on macteens and my doubts were confirmed. I'm running it right now just for fun, though.
It's a very clever prank.

all that is is a demonstration of how the graphics engine treats objects in OS X. its basically showing the layers and different renderings of the screen...they throw the dock in, then quicktime, the quicktime window, then the movie itself inside the window. its just a visual demonstration of the interface, its capabilities, and how it works.

Yeah...
It gets confusing...
Here's what we know:
IBM will be talking about a 64-Bit PowerPC in Oct (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2002/08/20020808110527.shtml)
That is all we know for sure.
What I would rate as a reliable rumor is this:
that IBM/Apple have been in discussions about it (http://www.macrumors.com/pages/2002/08/20020809122153.shtml)
beyond that, it's been pretty speculative.

I totally agree. It's great they're using the idea but they did this with the command+tab thing to some other guy in 10.3(?) - they could have at least given him some money or a job or something...?
Yeah, man, it's terrible that Apple is using ideas that they've had since System 1.0 in 1984 and implementing them in a way that's consistent with thier current look and feel. Shame on them for using the OS X design and polish on it, too, when Arlo worked for them and learned his UI from being an Apple designer! Oh, wait, that's right...
Daring Fireball already disected this in detail and basically shows hor stupid this line of argument is, but the simple fact is that Arlo was stealing ideas and basically set himself up for failure from the get-go. Apple has long had small applications with limited functionality in their system releases, and this is just an expansion of their implementation to make it even easier for people to write applications or applets for the mac. Attacking them for it means you need to go after Automator and any AppleScript, too, since they're just rehashing of things that other people have done.
:rolleyes:
If it's a better product that's because they're better programmers but they can't just go round ripping people off like that - i doubt he had any kind of patent on it, but it's really bad practice...
Arlo was an Apple programmer, took what he learned, and made a product in the third party space that was, from what some people say, already in development. Also, if you know anything about what Dashboard is an how it works, it's vastly superior to Konfabulator.

I lost most of the machines from a lab that a friend was contributing to my account with. He changed jobs internally at the company and the machines were redeployed.
So it's just back to me and a dual G5 chugging away. I managed to make it all the way up to 9th all time for a brief period and spent nearly two years in the top twenty active folders. Generally in the top 12, but did spike as high as number 2 active a few times. I'm at 11th all time right now, but that won't last much longer.
My interest in things is way down, but more so due to the decrease in power. It's more fun anyways when you are shooting up the ranks. Once you get to the top and overtakes slow down, it definitely becomes less entertaining. Especially when all the young bucks underneath you are catching up. Just ask Dreadnought! ;)
Interesting to see the number of folders/posters in this thread with join dates of summer '02.

Can you explain to me how it works that a non existent domain diverts to an auction company, and also how come that a check on the domain shows it as 'taken'?
That's what happens when someone who previously registered the domain fails to renew it. After a short probationary period to allow the person to reclaim the domain, it goes up for auction. If nobody wants it the price will come down, and eventually it will get sent back into the general pool of domain names.
