Hi
Quick question. i recently bought a macmini to act as a media centre (more than happy). My Father in Law is impressed with set up and wants the same BUT he wants more capacity on the HDD. He has seen a refurb mini server with plenty of HDD space which he is tempted by but keeps asking me what the downside to having one of these over the standard version will be. He isnt fussed for the DVD drive as all his files are downloaded.
Can anyone quickly give reasons why he should/shouldnt go for this? He will not be usingit as a server but only to get the extra specs.
Hope someone can help or point me to where I can get the info on the difference.

I'll be there eventually. I'll let you know what the line is like if I beat you there. I planning on 3:30 or so.
Let me know if you get there earlier.

Anyway, what should my next step be? Where would I find firmware updates that old? :p This compu will be worthless for me if I can't upgrade it to OS X, Classic is dead.
Apple's website will have them. But they have to be done in 9.2 or 9.1 IIRC... not OS X, and not sure about OS 8.6.

Vim.
Old school. The best editor for working close to the metal.
When I first started programming in the early 90's I was a Windows dev in a Solaris shop. The unix guys could cut code many times faster than any Windows dev. You don't need a mouse. You just need your keys. In fact I'm just getting back to programming after a 9 year absence and I'm using vi with Tcl, Java and Javascript.

Here was the problem per my server support people:
"It turns out that the hard drives were overheating and the server would not boot properly because of the heat. The server has been re-racked in open air and the case fan was replaced to remedy the problem."

You've got my vote!
Your proposed graphic is definitely my favorite avatar I've seen on the entire Forum! (Uh-oh, mistake: I've just insulted all the judges ) Would make me laugh aloud & feel good every time I'd see it, I'm sure . . . Hope you get to keep it . . . I just wish I'd thought of it first . . .
Wasn't there a State that was giving away a Mozart CD to every newborn (to make them smarter?) a while ago? I wish it was a copy of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" DVD set instead!

I tied both and it's gave the same warning
Tried both? You've only posted one attempted solution. Please don't expect us to guess what the other one was.

Hello..
Just got MBA.. the Cheapo 11" model.. and I wanna run Bootcamp once in a while to do things (games, office, etc.)
I've read the forums and it looks like running bootcamp on an external drive is out of the question.. but can I install OSX on an external drive, and then install a virtualization software like Parallels and then install Windows and run it off that?
I'm wondering if I'll have significant performance issues.. I won't be running any extensive games.. just some casual stuff from time to time and a Microsoft Office PC version for the times things just don't seem to be compatible with Mac Office...
Best,
J

You're not telling me that you don't have a backup, do you? :eek: ;)
Risks involved?
Data loss, business disruption, loss of business.
Seriously, if that machine is a corporate server, back it up! Backups in enterprise environments are even more important than for private users.
its a high school based server...the classes would lose all their work

Annoy?? Can a phone refresh REALLY annoy somebody? If your answer is YES then you have no life and sorry to say you're just a kid with issues.
There is a thing called context to a post :rolleyes:
Someone posted "this will annoy AT&T and Version customers" if a phone is launched within a few months of the previous one. I stated that releasing a new product within a few months of the rollout of the product worldwide would annoy customers everywhere not just in the US.
It was supposed to be a small joke about how everyone thinks only the US exists when it comes to any technology item.
I don't think I would scream and yell but if I bought this years model of phone and within 3 months Apple replaced it with a brand new much higher spec model then yes I would be mildly annoyed as usually Apple don't update their high end model in under 6 months with a brand new model. I could see lots of people being annoyed by that. And even more to the point these annoyed people would be from all over the world not just AT&T or Verison customers.

How are the current displays old tech? I think you are confusing 'old tech' with 'original release date a long time ago but silent incremental updates since'.
The currents ACDs use the LG.Philips S-IPS panel. In other words 'about the best of new tech' as opposed to 'old tech'. I challenge you to find a 23"/24" display that uses a comparable panel for under $1000 . The newer tech is the H-IPS panel which is the monitor that you'll find in your iMac that has 'serious colour gradient problems' (send it back, it's a dud). About the only monitor you'll find with the H-IPS is the NEC 24" that comes in at around $1100 .
Glossy displays are not for pros so they will only be an option on the ACD's. Glossy displays are better than matte ones in the same way that a lollipop is tastier than a truffle.
The only update I can see happening soon would be to use the latest H-IPS panel with more inputs but Apple won't do that if it's not available for the 30" as well (is it anyone?).
Apple's competition with the highend 23/24" monitors is the NEC. Since the Apple is $200- $300 cheaper and there is no/few other comparable displays(s) in the price range I'd consider it a bargain at the moment unless you have other issues such as inputs.
If Apple release new ACDs I suspect the 23/24" will be more expensive, but you'll have a chance to get the present ACD for a bargain. Other than that I think the 23" ACD is a safe buy.
Yep -- You got this right.

This is MONTHS old... PCMag is quoting a ThinkSecret report from earlier in the year. Too lazy to find a link myself. :)
It's ThinkSecret, so I don't believe it. I do think it will happen, but not because ThinkSecret is saying it will.
Lasso? I don't get it.
Code name.

This is a very informed opinion. If you ain't yet, you should become a politician (preferably in the equally tolerant ruling party). They have great use for people with a such deep understanding of things.
:mad: :mad: :mad:
Actually, I've read the same about "DVD Jon". Apparently he stole most of the code for DeCSS anyway, and the part he wrote was pretty pitiful. I've read some of his forum posts and he certainly doesn't sound like an intelligent guy. He might have had somebody else do the reverse engineering and just put his name on it so that the media would run a story along the lines of "Guy who cracked DVD encryption crack's iTunes encryption also!"

I'm pretty certain that there is thread going on like this already somewhere on MacRumors.
Yes there probably is, but it is old and (AFAIK), it is closed.

iOS does what NintenDONT, to quote a long, lost video game ad campaign.
It would be nice to see Nintendo games for the iPad/iPhone. But I won't hold my breath. They are a hardware maker, and so goes that. But someday they may have to seriously consider this, especially since every other kid these days has an iPhone, and they are getting them younger and younger. My friend's 7-year old wants one.. an iPhone that is.
