My MBP 2.4 has an annoying tendency to lock up whenever it's been in display-sleep for an extended period of time. I press a key, or swipe on the trackpad, and the spinny-wait cursor appears but the screensaver never displays the password dialog. Sometimes I can shut the lid and open it again to put...

Re:
I'm still laughing at the 4:3 "HDTV". Either some salesman suckered you or it's like 10 years old. HDTV maintains progressive and interlaced standards in both aspect ratios. There was a nifty chart somewhere (Wikipedia?) that showed the three major video aspect ratios (NTSC, VGA, and Wide...

Now, iirc from D3, there was no actually killing it, since it would just fly back into your ship when it got too damaged.

Can we reproduce water with technology? Can we invent something that freezes like water, flows like water, evaporates like water, etc.? Probably not, not without just using water. This is because the properties of water that we want to emulate are too fundamental to be emulated with technology. If ...

If you really want to do it right, I can recommend two ways: 1) Ubuntu or Debian. Debian is incredibly stable, and Ubuntu (which is based on Debian) is a bit more organized in terms of dependencies and included drivers. If you decide to go with Ubuntu (my choice for the installation environment alon...

Having done heavy volume before (Archdiocese of Brooklyn), I know RAM fails. But in my own experience, and I'm sure yours as well, as you mention it, other parts are much more likely to fail. Caps were a huge problem for a long time, blowing out mobos and video cards left and right. I never said tha...

Ferno: they don't show all the techs, and half the ones they do show give a good first-impression diagnosis. There's no indication at all of any amount of time spent on any individual machine.

That video sucks. It's scaremongering, really. I understand that suggesting you buy a new computer is completely out of line, but obviously they were working on a new Dell machine. Dell's BIOS does NOT emit POST status beeps. Therefore, it's impossible to diagnose between motherboard failure, RAM fa...

I believe Apple displays are Sony, so that's what I'm using. I used to use two 4:3 Dells, which were Philips. Color contrast was pretty bad, even after gamma adjustment. The 16:10 ones in our CS lab are also Dell, but if I recall correctly they're the same Sony panels as Apple uses. Much, much bette...
