A firewall is not going to protect you if you don't take steps to protect yourself. You need anti-virus anti-spy/adware programs to help combat infections. Even more so stop downloading from p2p, and getting programs from the hacker sites.

Did you enable root in the directory utility?

Try sudo -s this should work.

Yea, I understand it happening in iDVD but both iDVD and iMovie use quicktime to encode. If you can encode using imovie and it takes say 10 minutes but 22 hours in iDVD then we can be sure it's iDVD. But if you encode in high quality with imovie and it takes 22 hours and crashes then it may be quicktime. Also if iMovie can encode as a DVD quality then import it into iDVD and see if it works ok.

I still use imovie 6 HD, don't really like 08. I'm guessing you have all the updates. I know 08 will let you work with many file types and convert and render edits when your done this can take a long time. Can you save the movie in a high quality quicktime format without sending it to iDVD?

I had some Altec Lansing computer speakers that are going strong, that I bought 6 or 7 years ago, I have them at work now. I got some Roland monitors at home now.

Hey Honda Boy you ok, just saw tornadoes were in your neck of the woods.

It's 11pm, 36 degrees, pouring rain and some nasty thunder and lightening. And the weather guy says three inches of snow in the morning.

40 and raining, yesterday the weather guys said we were in for snow... so happy it rain.

I wondered where that was going, good one.

It would be my guess that everyone that has ever been a ZDnet, techTV watcher knows about Leo and his podcast network. Beside the Twitcast I also watch GeekBrief, Mahalo Daily and Cranky Geeks. Also if your a Mac nut check out MacOS Ken daily podcast.

Oh, text edit doesn't have a spell check of it's own OS X has a universal spell check pretty much everything uses the spell check. You may have to enable it on some programs Edit > Spelling and Grammar. "sudo su also gets you in."

When you install a program on a multi user mac during the install or after the first start up you should get a dialog box that ask if you want all users some users or just you to have access to the app. This will allow others to use the app but store all preferences in there user library. I haven't needed to use Root scenes 10.2 . You should be able to su with your admin password. I just tried to su with admin password and it said sorry. I know leopard made changes to be fully UNIX compliant but su... I'll do some looking when I get home and get back to you unless you figure it out first. I

If your just doing simple word processing Text Edit will save as several popular MS Word doc formats including MS open document.

I knew I was getting them wrong but had no clue to the correct answers. I got to start watching more Jeopardy.

Just remember System Preferences is always the first place to look for anything and upper left "application name" > preferences for app specific settings. Command / space bar for searching everything.

The 57 and 58 may have the same element but I'm pretty sure the 57 has a flatter response across the mids. Live it would be impossible to tell them apart but recording the 58 to me anyway sound warmer. I have just started playing in a new band the lead singer she uses a 58 and the bass player/singer she uses a 57. I still like my pro 63 for micing my amp. As for old home audio way back in the 80's I had a sweet Onkyo setup with some Bose 301's (the american ones). The saying was "no highs no lows then it must be Bose" but I absolutely loved them.

I just got back from the used CD store an picked up some Anna Nalick, Breaking Benjamin, KT Tunstall and Kasey Chambers Cd's all for $20. Got Breaking Benjamin crankin' right now.

Well he won't be playing guitar hero on a mini but most new games will play fine. Some games If your daughter ever wants to make youtube videos in stead of just watching them, imovie 08 is simple to use and is intergraded with Youtube so rendering and uploading is all done seamlessly. Also iphoto will import video off regular digital Still/movie cameras also intergraded with imovie. If you need more power imovie HD 6 is still available as a free download. Also wait to your kids get a hold of Garageband. If any of them like music, are musicians or just want to be rap stars or podcasters they ma

This from apple, Everything I have read say that this does not void the warranty unless the part that needs to be fixed was broken while you were replacing the RAM. That seems pretty obvious. RAM from OWC They will also buy your old RAM. There is a link to a istall video at the bottom right of that page.

Apple vs Apple history I though it started in 84 but I guess it started in 78.

Check codeweavers site many windows apps can be run without installing windows. You can also just get office 08 for Mac. Before you go to far try Keynote, Pages and Numbers that come as a trial with your mini. Many people that use iwork especially Keynote never touch powerpoint again. I just use text edit myself. You should give os x a try without installing windows first. I haven't owned a Windows machine in eight years I have never had any problems getting anything done. The Mini comes with a lot of great software but it's going to take you a few weeks to get the hang of it. I'm sure your k

Kind of a irony getting the a tiny desktop and matching it to a large CRT. Apple find out how page.

Apple Records has been suing Apple Inc. every few years sense 1984. I think the last one Apple Records got a huge load of cash to end future actions. As for option - shift -K doesn't that only work if you viewing with a Mac. I have the code somewhere that use to let the apple show up in most browsers.

I also like talking about audio gear but we're few and far between.
