Ummm...Is this a misdirected post from 1986 via the April Fools page?
None of those cartoon-based-on-games were that great anyway.

Everything that was said above is correct but I would suggest using Homebrew (https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew) instead of MacPorts.
I started with Fink, then switched to macports because it seemed to have more recent ports. What is the advantage of homebrew over macports?

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?

with my MBP im getting by with a 60GB SSD by OCZ (VERTEX 2) and the HD moved to the optical drive bay. Pushing the limit as far as free space goes (I have moved non-everyday applications to the HD) and like to have ~10GB Free if possible.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I need current info on current products. What are some good Time Capsule alternatives?
I have a 27" iMac with a 2TB hard drive and currently have no external backup/storage solution. I think the Time Capsule is overpriced and I don't need its wireless base station functionality. I just want to be able to back everything up neatly and efficiently to a 2TB external drive that is compatible with Time Machine.
Anybody know a model # or brand name that I should go with that you've either heard good things about or had personal experience with?

Situation: I have a 2007 Macbook Pro.:rolleyes: The Superdrive no longer will read cd's or dvd's.:( I just purchased a new iMac.:D Now I want to sell my MBP but I need to wipe it clean and reinstall the system software before I put it on Craigslist. How can I do that with a broken Superdrive? :confused:
I am thinking maybe I can connect it to my iMac via firewire and boot the MBP in target disk mode. But then what? How do I wipe it and reinstall mac osx?:apple:
Thanks in advance.;)

Yes Flash is pre-installed, you can disable it or get a plugin to use it when needed.
And am I wrong in thinking that if I download the standalone Flash installer, it runs system-wide? Does that mean when I'm using Safari (but not on pages that have Flash content), it still drains more battery? What about if I'm not even using Safari�is it then somehow still taking up extra CPU cycles?

Hi there,
I've got a Mac Pro (2x2.8 Quad Core) Early 2008. The computer came with 2GB of RAM (2x1GB). Last year I bought an extra 4GB (2x2GB) from Crucial and installed them without any problem.
I just got 8GB (2x4GB) and I thought I was installing the chips properly, but OSX only shows that I have 10GB installed.
My configuration is as follows:
Riser A:
DIMM 1: 1GB
DIMM 2: 1GB
DIMM 3: 4GB
DIMM 4: 4GB
RISER B:
DIMM 1: 2GB
DIMM 2: 2GB
DIMM 3: EMPTY
DIMM 4: EMPTY
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you!

Fashion Valley looks way too crowded, what time are all you UTC/UCSD people heading out to the store?
I'll be there with a friend at around 3am, hopefully that'll be good enough without a reservation.

gnuguy, I had never seen the Carbon call for that, and had always worked my way thorough ioreg for it. Using Carbon is so much easier! And in case someone is looking for a script-ish way of doing it:
/usr/sbin/ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | /usr/bin/awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print $NF/1000000000; exit}'
/usr/sbin/ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | /usr/bin/awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print $NF/1000000000; exit}'

Did you install the 32-bit or 64-bit version?
Edit: shame on me for not reading original post
I have the same problem on my 2011 quad-core MBP. 8 gb of ram installed and Windows 7 only sees 2.
This is on a 32 bit version. Any ideas?

No problems with sb settings either. I was thinking the only problems hanging on were with the unlockers retaining basebands.
OP: you may want to edit the article and fix some errors.
I wish more people would take the plunge, the more people see neat tweaks the more likely they are to be sucked into being native to the next ios.

You're missing nothing, the base 21.5" is great and if you feel the need for 8gb of ram then it only costs like $40-50 for another two sticks of 2gb ddr3.
