Re: Playing region free DVDs on TiBook with VLC
Now enter the US Congress and laws about breaking software encryption for any reason being illegal. Add in a dose of the 1st ammendment Well, it's not for any reason, it's for the purpose of circumventing copy-control devices. A brief pause here to note that the US Copyright Office recently issued requests for comments around CSS descrambling for legitimate purposes (watching out-of-region movies and skipping unskippable commercials on DVDs). So DeCSS may become more legal soon. And a second pause for a quick round of applause that Sen. Fritz I want to control your computer Hollings is stepping down!

Re: Wallstreet Ram Upgrade
I must be special. I have a wallstreet with Powerlogic 500 mhz G4 and have 512 meg ram, 256 top 256 bottom. I did order the wrong sodimm which registered at half the advertised capacity. I had ordered the ram for the Pizmo by mistake. The vendor corrected my mistake and the correct SOdimm is working famously. I think you might want to try some other sodimms. -Original Message- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lewin Edwards Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 7:20 AM To: G-Books Subject: Re: Wallstreet Ram Upgrade I was not able to go above 256 mb in my Wallstreet (128 in each slot, Kingston Memory) with the Powerlogix 466 processor installed, anything above this gave the window breaking sound and no start-up. Using the stock card from Apple (233mhz), I was able go higher to 384 mb. Is there any trick to this to reach 512 mb and keep the Powerlogix card? Okay... This is all theoretical, but in case nobody else bites: Given that both cards run the bus at the same speed, and assuming that the boot ROM is on the processor card (which it usually/always is in Apple products?) there are two possible reasons why X combination of SODIMMs would work with the Apple card but not the Powerlogix card: 1. ROMs on the Powerlogix card don't recognize the SPD info from your SODIMMs. (SODIMMs have a small serial EEPROM on them, containing information describing the speed and layout of the RAM). 2. SODIMM sockets don't have the same address wiring on the Powerlogix vs. Apple card. If 2 is true, you're SOL. If 1 is true, AND the boot ROM in this card is flash memory, you might be able to fix the situation by getting the latest flash update from Apple and installing it on the Powerlogix card, then adding your additional RAM. -- Lewin A.R.W.

Re: OS X (10.2.2) Successful on Wallstreet
The Pismo is so much more slimmer and lighter. Portability is important Wow... Pismo slim and light? I'm glad I never handled a Wallstreet, it must be a real boat anchor if Pismo is light by comparison. (Of course, I'm a bit spoiled, having been using single-spindle subnotebooks for the last few years). Wallstreet is kinda beefy...almost 8 pounds of joy for the 14.1 version. It's like carrying around a Papoose. It's ok, though...I've never had a laptop that's been less than 7 pounds. I've gone from a PowerBook 145 to a IBM Thinkpad 365X to a Wallstreet PDQ 14.1 and basically carrying them in a backpack has felt just about the same. All that extra beefiness comes from the extra thickness on the bottom (non-lcd half) versus a lombard or a pismo which are about 20% thinner on the bottom half. Yes, it does weigh quite a bit when battery and cd modules are in but, that extra height allows for two PC cardbua slots (type II) or one type III. I am not sure I will be buying a ti or al anytime soon though because of the rather ease with which damage, specifically scratches and dings occur on those machines. Quite frankly, the wallstreet is tanklike and seems built rather rigidly, as if made to last, save for the screen hinge. It also is not so thin that it leaves marks on the screen as well which is rather nice as well. Perhaps I should phone powerlogix and get on with it...long live the wallstreet!
