    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    It was a reasonable shake, but it was more focused on what might happen to the uninitiated who take Apple's cheapest non-upgraded entry-level system as a valid starting point (likewise accepting the touted PPC compatibility at face value, naiveté about Java and X11 apps, etc). Which is a fair...

    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    Not in that case, no. Unix symlinks are different, and are only created directly in shell. The finder uses a different system.

    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    H.264 will give you better results (provided you have a current Mac that can run it). Sure it will. You have several options for doing this, ranging from sharing through iTunes to setting your music library to reside on a mapped drive. Sure they do. For finding pictures at a glance choose the...

    30 Days with Mac OS X @ [H]

    It's good to see this article. I found it a bit rambling (some topics would have benefited from sub-navigation to skip around, but that's more an aspect of the site I presume), but all in all it was a good exposure for people to see. Some advice to budding Mac users: 1) Do not try to do...

    Mac Hacked Via Safari Browser

    Nice quotes from the hacker in that article.

    Rivals Complain About Google-DoubleClick Deal

    Hilarious. Just ask him if he's forgotten his own deposition on the topic. From the other side of the table.

    Text Messaging Blocked In Cambodia

    I like Canada's policy: as the election draws near, restrictions are placed on the press: no discussion of polling results is allowed. The election will be what it will be, and you can't go around predicting the outcome based on the latest 20 people walking out of Safeway and answering someone's...

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    This article demonstrates the continuance of HardOCP's decline in relevance to me, turning what was once *the* place for an enthusiast to go to first into a place where I am unlikely to learn anything interesting about new hardware. Why focus an article so tightly on the patently obvious...

    Antec NEO HE Issues

    Still no call back after leaving two messages over two weeks. Antec doesn't appear to be responding to messages left at the given support number.

    Antec NEO HE Issues

    I left my contact information (phone and email) over a week ago and was never contacted. I called again today and left another message. I'm experiencing the same shutdown on the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (their newest motherboard).

    Watercooling 7800gtx 512mb

    I haven't tried beyond 600 MHz, but fully loaded at that it never gets beyond 50C with my fan on low. I'm using Thermaltake's optional video waterblock (which I do not recommend, the fitting method seems to have little room between "insecure" and "dangerously close to cracking your core" due to...

    NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512 MB Preview @ [H]

    I bought mine from ZipZoomFly 2-3 days after launch (received it the next day).

    non-2.0 True Power 480w cut it?

    I'm currently using an eXtreme Power 430W from Cooler Master that was right about $40 shipped including taxes (should be under that for most people). Newegg was the source, specs in the sig (seems like higher demand than yours, and it does fine at this overclock, 40+ hours of memtest / prime95...

    Antec NEO HE Issues

    Quick update (that didn't take long)... it shut down shortly after posting the message above, with everything at stock speed+voltage. Bummer... and I just had the cables routed perfectly, too. Back to the crappy-but-works solution until Antec responds to the voice message I left on their...

    Antec NEO HE Issues

    I'm here to pass along some bad news about another Asus combination people might be considering: A8N32-SLI Deluxe . I just installed this power supply (Neo HE 500, purchased yesterday 11/22 at retail) into my new setup using that motherboard along with a 7800GTX 512MB, replacing a working Cooler...
