<0> FKnight`: http://www.connectedhomemag.com/HomeOffice/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=48887
<1> I'm in need of something that'll connect with outlook easily that will allow me to make screen caps (hopefully with ***ignable keystrokes) and send via email. (or something that is aware of the defined email client even if it's not outlook friendly specific)
<0> It reads like a really great ad for Apple's systems.
<0> It also highlights exactly how dense Thurrot actually is.
<1> doing a printscreen the copying to mspaint or adobe, then saving and exporting to file, then connecting to outlook and doing an attachment is a bit much)
<0> For instance, he upgraded the memory in the Mac Mini he bought his wife himself. It's not a user-serviceable part in that machine. In fact, there are no user-serviceable parts in that machine.
<0> He complains about having to pry it open with a putty knife.
<2> My dork is user-serviceable.
<3> is there a way to get the exact share name of a printer in a domain without having to join the domain
<3> cause I want to
<4> see
<4> that's why I'm gonna get an iMac instead of a Mac Mini
<3> add the printer via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/printersharename
<4> the iMac seems a little easier to upgrade
<4> but then again, the only thing really that would need upgrading is the hdd
<4> cause everything else I'll just max out
<4> hdd's can usually be upgraded ad infinatum
<4> (sp)
<1> vhuren: you might have problems with that considering the printer will probably be protected so only domain members can read/print/delete jobs
<4> but it doesn't matter WHAT case your computer is in. It's always harder to open up and work on a Compaq or HP
<4> One thing that gets me about PC vs. Mac. What's the deal with no one on the PC side being able to make a computer that doesn't have a case that looks like ****
<4> Apple seems to have all of the people who have an eye for **** that looks nice
<0> FKnight`: Yeah, if upgrading is what you want to do stay away from the Mini. It's supposed to be a toaster.
<4> yeah
<0> You plug it in, you go.
<4> I see the Mac Mini as a "Starter Mac for PC geeks"
<4> ahhahaha
<0> Or as a tool for developers who want to start writing Mac software.
<4> I like the iMac tho
<1> FKnight`: hehe if you want a mod case, you'd probably end up with a ThermalTake case
<0> "I'll get this, write my little tool, start selling it, and when I've got $2000 I'll buy a bigger, better iMac."
<4> fdiv_bug yeah
<0> The iMac Core Duo is sweet.
<0> Much nicer in terms of hardware than the iMac G5.
<4> How come Apple'
<0> I never understood why they went with such a ****ty video card in the iMac G5.
<4> How come Apple's PRO apps like Logic Pro and **** won't run under Rosetta?
<0> Those would be perfect machines for casual home gamers.
<0> FKnight`: Some of the more serious ones -- Logic, especially -- require hardware drivers for the audio stuff.
<4> tre
<0> It's also possible that they just don't *want* to support it on Rosetta.
<0> If you can afford a $2000 piece of software you can afford to wait until there's a native version to switch. :P
<3> deryl: but lets say its not can you help me out?
<4> I'd buy that too, because they probably tested and weren't pleased with the performance for specific apps like that
<3> deryl: cause I can add it using domain user account, my friends account
<1> vhuren: you need to be a member of the domain to see the printer.
<1> yes, because it's properly protected
<4> besides, if you already have PowerPC Logic Pro, you already have a Mac that'll run it
<3> deryl: so i cant add it if I aint on the domain?
<1> would be rather dumb to leave a printer available to the public (non-domain members) for just anyone to print to
<0> FKnight`: Rosetta's also viewed like Cl***ic -- a holdover for the miscellaneous apps that just don't have any other choice. I don't think it's considered a mission-critical subsystem, like Win16 support is -- for some retarded reason -- on Windows.
<0> I mean, seriously. Why does Win2K3 support running 16-bit apps?
<1> vhuren: if you can no access it with the printer IP and sharename then no
<4> Installshield :D
<4> it's 16 bit
<4> hahahahahahah
<0> FKnight`: AHHAHA. Point.
<0> ****in' A.
<3> deryl: I know the ip address but I dont know the share name
<3> deryl: how do I get the exact share name?
<0> FKnight`: And they aren't going to stop selling PPC Macs. They still sell the iMac G5.
<1> you log into the domain, you also can query the domain to see if it has any public shares such as using network neighborhood
<1> if not then you're SOL
<0> Now, two years down the line? It's probably all going to be x86, sure, but by then they should have native versions of their pro tools.
<4> You think the prices of the iMacs will go down at all this year? I want the 20 inch
<0> FKnight`: I honestly don't know. I was surprised by how high the prices are at introduction.
<1> did you two put me on ignore or something?
<0> They'll probably drop once in the year, but I'm all LeVar Burton with that **** -- don't take my word for it.
<0> Deryl: Did who put you on ignore?
<1> ahh i thought you and FKnight` had for some reason. just figured i'd ask :)
<5> i put you on ignore
<4> everything's ****ing wireless on the mac too
<0> Gimp-Cow: And I put you on ignore, so vicariously I'm ignoring Deryl.
<4> you can move that **** at will
<5> werd
<1> hah!
<0> FKnight`: Except the Mighty Mouse. :(
<4> anywhere it's convenient in the house
<5> FKnight`, unless you want a scanner
<4> it's got built in bluetooth though right?
<5> or you know, a printer
<4> I have a network printer
<5> or you know, an external backup device
<0> FKnight`: As an option, but not necessarily by default.
<6> you know what
<6> ive ****ing had it with vendors
<6> and i hate being a mid sized company
<6> you get stuck in ****ing medicority hell
<4> digiwork yeah
<0> FKnight`: And even if you didn't have a networked printer, the AirPort Extreme base station has a USB port on it that supports some printers.
<0> Which I think is cool as crap.
<4> WUSB is coming out
<0> For new, home users.
<4> backward compat with wired usb
<0> Backwards-compatible with my jock.
<6> compusa, sbc/att and everyone else can **** my cock
<6> they make me want to quit this line of work
<5> yeah fk
<5> and i'm sure none of this wireless **** interferes with itself
<6> well not with itself
<4> Gimp-Cow: I wasn't saying we lived in Utopia
<0> Gimp-Cow: There's a reason I got a 5.8GHz cordless phone.
<5> lol
<5> yeah i guess
<4> I was simply saying, for my purposes, the wireless capabilities of the iMac are fine.
<5> i do like the wireless concept
<5> BUT, they need to make an inductive mousepad
<0> My friend's got 2.4GHz and his wireless network drops worse than ping-pong balls out of a chick in Singapore.
<5> that would be pwn
<5> i can that being an apple thing
<5> and they build that support into ipods
<5> ****
<5> that would be sweet
<0> Gimp-Cow: I don't understand. What would it do?
<5> then it shows up on cellphones and ****
<4> inductive mouse pad that charges the mouse and ipod
<4> yeah
<4> that would be good
<7> fdiv_bug; shouldn't that be Bangkok, not Singapore?
<5> you throw **** on the pad and it charges
<5> no wires
<0> peerafk: I have no idea.
<0> Gimp-Cow: Oh. Cool.
<0> Then you get cancer in your hand and testicles, what from the scratchin'.
<0> ;)
<5> you could just plop all your **** on a pad, and it would all be charged
<8> s,bangkok,amsterdam,
<0> ****.
<7> Singapore is a uber-strict incredibly straightlaced place where you do prison for spitting on the sidewalk
<0> Now our kings aren't going to get saved.
<5> i have ****ing 4 chargers in front of me
<5> annoying as ****
<7> bangkok is full of tran***ual hookers and ****
<0> peerafk: You mean it's full of your mom!
<5> wait 5, the mouse cradle
<0> OH BURN!
<4> hahahahaha
<0> FKnight`: Say hi to skoal while you're there.
<0> He's into that.
<8> SNAP
<4> hahah "SNAP" :D
<4> my brother says that ****
<4> "OH SNAP"
<0> :-D
<0> FKnight`: He's white. Of course he says that.
<0> He thinks it makes him cool. Like smoking.
<8> WHITE IS RIGHT
<8> oh wait.
<4> hahahaha
<4> speaking of white
