Re: [CGUYS] Hp Hulk Monitor

2009-07-22 Thread David K Watson

Excuse me for asking the obvious question, but have you tried
the adjustment buttons on the front of the monitor?  If you have
young kids, that is one of the things they eventually get around to
messing with, whereas the adults just forget that those buttons
are there.

I found the display manuals here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?lc=encc=usproduct=324213dlc=en 



Let us know how it turns out.


From: One Man [mailto:one911...@yahoo.com]

The display on the monitor of my hp pavilion f1703 running windoze  
xp has
transformed its insipid blue background to hulk green.  Anything I  
can do or
is it time to buy a new monitor, preferable made my macintosh? ;)

Signal strength is not the right measure in all situations. What we  
really care about is the signal to noise ratio. In most situations  
the noise is low so we just look at signal strength. Not so in your  
case.


I would think that in your environment it would not have been that  
hard to run wires. If bought from the right supplier, wires are not  
that expensive. In an industrial/studio type of space the running of  
wires may be quite easy as you have big open spaces and neatness does  
not count.

Sure, it's possible.

MS has been taking a  few pages out of Apple's playbook recently, all
to great tantrums of Appleistas.  Page one is lie, distort and
misinform.  Considering your reaction, they must be spot-on.

I'll keep that in mind the next time they pimp another article on Macs
in the enterprise.

I think it's as likely that your interpreation is as much horse shit
as theirs.  Reality is rarely that simple.

Maybe it has something to do with Apple timing the release of the new
iPhone to come at the end of 2Q and not the begniing of 3Q as they did
the last time. This front-loads the iPhone numbers and makes the
quarter look plumper than it would have otherwise.

I was in the local Apple Store last night looking at a new iPod Touch. 
The second generation Touch is a different kind of iPhone. It has 
Bluetooth and can take voice input from the iPhone headphone/mic. With 
WiFi, it can do VOIP [so far it's Skype], but only with a WiFi network 
rather than a cellular network. Replacing my perfectly good 1st gen 
Touch that my son gave me when he got his iPhone is tempting, but I 
wouldn't get an iPhone. Touch with Skype is perfect for my needs since I 
prefer Nokia phones to the iPhone.


Jeff Miles --  I asked at the Apple Store whether they had a web cam so 
you could see how crowded and lively it was on a Tuesday night in a mall 
that's half closed for renovation. Location: Christiana Mall, Newark,

Re: [CGUYS] Build from scratch [was: Switching, and why]

2009-07-22 Thread b_s-wilk

What are you talking about?  You write your own ROMS so you can put os x on
homemade motherboards?


You could build a PC with an Intel board and load Mac OS X if you made 
minor code changes. Early versions of OS X Rhapsody ran on Windows NT 
PPC servers. Now X can run on HP, Dell, MSI, etc. The mysterious world 
of Macintosh hardware is fairly easy to understand if you want to do it.


Plenty of Mac users have built and rebuilt their own Mac boxes, but most 
of us don't care to do that. If a Mac is too expensive, we either buy 
last year's version, and/or add extra parts ourselves instead of 
ordering a Mac with the fancy video card or extra RAM or huge HD 
pre-installed.


However, there's no reason for building PCs because you imagine you 
can't build Macs from scratch. You could if you wanted.

wholesale...I've built a whitebox hacintosh.  I've said that twice.  I don't
know why you keep pushing the mac angle.  Hardware hobbyists are not going
to buy a 2500 dollar mac tower and then six months later tear it down and
put new hardware into it...


You didn't follow my comment. Nobody who wants to build a computer to 
run Mac software has to start with an old Mac. You can use any old or 
new box or build your own box. Then you can put all of the parts 
inside--free or wholesale--same as you do now. The point is that both 
the process and the parts can be the same for either system.


Why do you keep talking about starting with a $2500 Mac tower? You could 
put mostly generic and scrounged parts along with an Intel processor 
[nothing Mac/Apple specific] into an old fishtank if you wanted, then 
make it water cooled. No old Mac or Mac parts required. No investment in 
a Mac tower or Mac of any kind. It's the same as building a PC, 
including most of the same parts, and then it could run multiple systems.


Ever build a mechanical computer? Did that as a high school project with 
my brother many years ago. Didn't require any parts from old computers 
or anything special off the shelf. Was mostly wood.

Re: [CGUYS] OS X blackhat training

But is that not what most hackers do?

They examine and look at the OS they want to hack and then through 
trial and error find the way to do it.

Yes, after all the recent bad news for them, they can really use this
relatively good report. Even if Jobs had nothing to do with it.

 Julien Blin, analyst for JBB Research, expects Apple to continue to

Re: [CGUYS] Friendly neighbors?

 Apple knows how to make money. Like their 1% share of the cell phone
 market that nets them 20% of the revenues. Got to admire that.

I'd say that most of the bigger companies know how to make money, but yeah,
I gotta respect that.  They're fleecing *everyone* in the supply chain, not
just the consuming public.
