I have a problem since the 10.3.8 update that neither my AlumiBook nor my G5 will got to sleep. It's terribly annoying.
Anyone else have this issue?
Actually yes. That's happening with my G4 867. I thought I was taking crazy pills or something. I didn't know whether or not it was the update cuz I never used to sleep my tower, then one day I had it shut down and I realized it's like having a Cessna in your bedroom.

The flash=No SEO isn't as true anymore as long as it's built properly, google can index flash now; but you don't and you get the SEO value of h tags with flash if you do proper Flash detection, including alternate HTML content.
Fixed that for you.;)

It's much simpler than that. Just open the Airport Utility, choose your Time Capsule in the list on the left, click the "Manual Setup" button on the lower left, then click on the "Disks" icon on the top, the click on the "Erase…" button. There you have the option to overwrite the hard disk ("Zero Out Data" in the drop-down menu), which I strongly recommend (it overwrites the whole disk with zeroes; this is gonna take a while). The other options with 7 or 35 passes are only for the ultra-paranoid in my opinion. And they don't take a while, they take an eternity :)

Bricking means you make your iPhone completely unusable. So unusable it doesn't even turn on, go into DFU mode, or run in any noticeable way. There is no way to brick an iDevice, unless you are a very experienced dev wanting to do so.

Hi
I'm wanting to upgrade my website so people can buy prints, greetings cards etc from my website.
I was going to upgrade my 1and1 account to a basic home hosting account (http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/HostingHome;jsessionid=430E7E7441612649C4F7EA8240457A8F.TC30a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static) account
But today I've discovered that although it has php it doesn't include MySQL - my question is do I need to have MySQL to build a shopping cart ?
Thanks
David :)

They're downloading only the actual number of bytes (900 bytes)
The 4 K is an artifact of the hard disk formatting system, it's a 900 byte file in a 4096 byte pigeon-hole.
So 900 bytes will be transmitted, and what it occupies on the destination machine depends on the block size of that particular machine.
good answer!

Hello. I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.
Are the powerbooks able to dual monitor span between an external monitor and the powerbook screen? Or do I need two external monitors?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Why not ask your son? :eek:
+1 on this.
He should know what he does and doesn't want more than anyone here. Tell him the budget and let him figure it out.

Why not use the peel520 phone software it will actually even make dial sounds of the #'s everything exactly like an iphone.
You dont need a peel520 installed to install the iPhone software dialer via Cydia will even give you text icon and software.
I use it for real calling with my iPod Touch.
There is also the C Peel.
just install either of them via Cydia or get the .deb phone dialer software from the developer yosion.net and coming.hk website.
Use google translate if needed.

Research in the US has found that songs get stuck in our heads because they create a "brain itch" that can only be scratched by repeating the tune over and over.
In Germany, this type of song is known as an "ohrwurm" - an earworm - and typically has a high, upbeat melody and repetitive lyrics that verge between catchy and annoying.
Songs such as the Village People's YMCA, Los Del Rio's Macarena, and the Baha Men's Who Let The Dogs Out owe their success to their ability to create a "cognitive itch," according to Professor James Kellaris, of the University of Cincinnati College of Business Administration.
"A cognitive itch is a kind of metaphor that explains how these songs get stuck in our head," Professor Kellaris told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"Certain songs have properties that are analogous to histamines that make our brain itch.
"The only way to scratch a cognitive itch is to repeat the offending melody in our minds."
'Insidious and blatant'
Professor Kellaris has presented the early results of his earworm research at a conference on Consumer Psychology.
He said that virtually everyone suffered from a cognitive itch at one time or another.
"Across surveys I found that from 97% to 99% of the population is susceptible to earworms at some time," he stated.
"But certainly some people are more susceptible than others. Women tend to be more susceptible than men, and musicians are more susceptible to them than non-musicians."
The research is of particular interest to both the pop industry - looking to boost sales - and to advertisers, who often use jingles to get their brand name stuck in the head of listeners.
"For both advertising purposes and pop music purposes, you want something that once heard is not forgotten quickly or easily," explained jingle writer Chris Smith, adding that a good earworm was "Insidious - and often quite blatant".
"One of the key elements of an earworm is repetition," he said.
"If you have something with a lot of varied content, it's not so easily assimilated.
"So really, I would have thought that for practical purposes an earworm is really something that people can take on very quickly and then reproduce while walking down the street, much to everybody else's annoyance."
Clearing the mind
Even the greatest musicians had suffered with earworms, Mr Smith said.
Mozart's children would "infuriate" him by playing melody and scales on the piano below his room - but stopping before completing the tune.
"He would have to rush down and complete the scale because he couldn't bear to listen to an unresolved scale," Mr Smith related.
Professor Kellaris said that his research had shown that there was, however, no standard for creating an earworm - people could react differently to different tunes.
"I compiled a top 10 list of earworms in the US, but the number one item is simply the category 'other' - which means that any tune is prone to become an earworm," he said. "It's highly idiosyncratic."
And he added that there was also no guaranteed way of ever getting the song off the brain.
"Replacement strategies rarely work, because as we search our memories for a replacement tune, we're likely to come up with another earworm," he admitted.
"Some people swear by completion strategies - if you listen through a piece in its entirety, some times that will make it go away."

as katanna said, you can keep both. you can also try to change the red of the macrumors logo to the yellow/greenish hue of the speedometer and/or tha white inside to transparent (=black in the tar) and see if it will blend in better and look cleaner (i am assuming you have layers of the differents parts, so you can check quickly)

Why not just pay the $18.00 and get it over with? Honestly, $18.00 isn't bad at all. It's really nothing.
Because that $18 becomes $25 in the future...and on and on it goes.
It's a purely profit move by all the cell phone carriers especially if you order online and get zero help "setting up" you phone.
Tmobile USA is even worst. $35 for upgrade fees.
What exactly are they doing to justify this upgrade fee?
That being said they stopped waiving my upgrade fees after 2009.

I'm working on adding some audio samples to some online language lessons. How I want it to function is pretty straightforward: At the end of each line of foreign text the'll be a little "play" button of some sort, and clicking on it plays the audio file in question.
I know there are a dozen different ways to do this, but what I'm wondering is, what y'all think is the *best* way. My first draft is using the method laid out on this page (http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2005/02/23/mp3_embed.html), basically an Object tag wrapped around an embed tag with the size set just big enough to allow the QuickTime (or WMP) "play" button, 16x17 pixels in the former.
That looks fine, plays fine with QT, but has two issues:
One (major), if QT isn't installed IE resorts to WMP, but since later versions apparently respect the dimensions of the EMBED tag, the controller is too small to see the play button (curse WMP's gigantic interface!).
Two (minor), this method preloads everything with the page. This is nice from an "insta-play" standpoint, but may bog down modem users and will also hammer on the server pretty hard if the site gets popular for some bizarre reason (~20K clips X ~15 clips per page = 300K/page, which'll add up quick with multiple pages per lesson).
So is this the best I'm going to do? Is there a trickier, more compatible way to do it? Should I just require QuickTime and be done with it (that'd also let me improve quality a bit by going with AAC instead of MP3, which is tempting)? Should I go with a bunch of QT streaming files, or is that silly for 3-second sound clips?
Thoughts?
