Could be a sign of a failing HDD. Make sure you have a current backup.

I love Woz. I've met him once, he's one of the most down to earth and humble people you could ever meet. IMO only the Dali Lama has him beat. He's the exact opposite of what I would expect SJ to be.
I wonder how Woz would have responded to the iP4 antenna issue?
-Don
He would exchange all of them for new iPhones in a heartbeat which would be followed by the company going out of business.

Hello,
I have heard of Objective-C++ and I would like to know if this is possible in Objective-C++. Can I create IBActions that link to buttons and inside these actions I have C++. For example
-(IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender{
//Some C++ code
}
Would something like that work. I would like to do this because I physics engine I would like to use requires C++ and I would like to use this engine inside of a nice Cocoa app with all the interface stuff done in Objective-C.
Sincerely,
Blake

Hmm, well should I shell an extra 300 for the higher spec 27incher? Or do you guys think it's definitely not necessary for my use.
Fireproof!

Thanks Anthony for the background, I appreciate it! :D
After re-springing, I discovered the the labels and dock were hidden lol. The font is Geo Sans Light if anyone is interested.
However, I would still like to know how he got the other things that I listed to work. So consider this a bump. Please and thank you! :)

I already have the hard drives connected to the PS3, and all my movies play off it, but, is there any way for me to access the hard drives through the network that the PS3 and Macbook pro are both connected on? sort of like a Media server

I'm currently trying to build up several audio systems bit-by-eventually-replaceable-bit, and I was hoping to get a little advice.
First, I mainly use a late-2008 MacBook in my home office hooked up to a Dayton APA-150 that I so far quite like, with that driving a pair of Polk Audio M-40s that I picked up for less than $100 new. I have a few thousand mp3 with bit rates varying from 32 to 320, with most at 192 or better, a few thousand ALAC files ripped from my CDs, and a growing handful of higher-resolution files from HD Tracks.
I'm presently thinking my upgrade path will be as follows:
Add a DAC now, in the future possibly a headphone amp, and maybe even a preamp/input switcher. At some point, the speakers will go to the living room, where I originally intended them, and will be replaced with something slightly smaller - Dayton b652s to start with, since they're cheap, then on to something better when I can afford it. I wouldn't mind adding a sub one day. The problem is, WHAT dac, headphone amp, etc?
In terms of DACs, I definitely want both USB and optical inputs, something that will handle the higher resolution files I'm just getting into, and if at all possible, something with a form factor roughly comparable to my amp. I've looked into the Fubar Mk II, Mk 4, and the Teradak Chameleon, but I'm hoping for more ideas in the US$200-400 range. Any advice?
Next, I currently have no audio gear in my living room at all, and I'd like to change that asap. Unfortunately, this also seems to be the area where I have the least clue on how to get started. In the living room, I currently have a PS3 and a few older game systems. I hope one day to add a Mac Mini to play digital music, just as my laptop does in the other room, to largely replace the PS3 for Netflix, and to play old emulated games. I don't have or care about cable, satellite, etc, just an antenna. I mostly use Netflix and DVDs, and don't care very much about BluRays.
For lack of a better idea, a receiver seems like the way to at least get started, and the Yamaha RX-V667 looks nice and seems to get good reviews. I don't care much about surround sound and have no place for rears at the moment, but it would be nice to hook everything up to one box and then have just the one cable headed to the TV instead of the mess of spaghetti back there now.
That said, there's something very nice about just putting in a CD and listening to music, without the TV being on - to simply push 'Play' and not have to bother with anything else. For this reason, at the very least I would like to add a decent stand-alone CD player or transport.
So, the big questions here are:
Will a receiver like the 667 and Mini be good enough to do most of my listening until I have the space and money to invest in a dedicated, audio-only setup, or should I skip on an a/v receiver altogether and go ahead and with an amp, CD player/transport, and DAC, more like I have in the office? Can I send audio from the Mini to the DAC in the receiver over HDMI, or will I have to run a separate TOSLINK? People have told me an Apple TV would be a better choice than a Mini, but just what is the ATV capable of audio-wise?
Lastly, I would like to put together a very small system for the bedroom. I plan on using an old 3rd gen iPod as the main source. The iPod only charges over FireWire, and its battery is shot, but I still want to get use out of it. How can I best put it to use?

My 15" Titanium Powerbook can play DVDs ok, but when I insert a blank one to write onto, it spits it out after about 5 seconds.
Any advice?

Does your '08 MBP have switchable graphics? If so, are you sure that you're on the high-end graphics? My mid-'10 MBP doesn't have smooth Expos� animations when on the integrated (inferior) graphics. Also, you should try the 2GB RAM (just for the sake of eliminating that variable; replacing the RAM would be the easiest solution if it were that).

First of all, I'm just going to assume that you're using Mac OS X only, and if you're not, just ignore my post :) .
The first step in repartitioning your drive is backing up all your data that you want, but seeing that you bought a new Mac, that might be nothing...
Second, take your Mac OS X install disk and put it in the computer and boot it up holding down the 'C' key. That will boot your computer from the CD.
As soon as you have control over the computer after bootup, go to the Installer menu (I'm not sure that's the one... it's whatever's between the Apple and Edit, if there's even an edit menu there...) and select "Disk Utility"
When that loads, select the "Partition" tag and then select your drive. It should be pretty apparant how to setup the partitions you want from there. My suggestion is to reserve about 4-5 gigs of the drive for your Mac OS X and some apps, and then you could partition the rest anyway you want. Either by subject, client, product, whatever... I'm not into graphic design so I don't really know...
Anwyays, after you've set that up, click Partition and it'll erase everything and repartition it for you.
Oh, and make sure that your OSX disk is an install disk not an upgrade disk! You won't be able to reinstall OSX after you partition if that's so...
Anyways, hope that helps. I'm sure others have some things to add or change, so listen to them :)

So I have had this question for awhile. How do cd producers and tv broadcasters get a universal volume? in other words, how do they make it so whenever you shuffle songs on your ipod or surf channels, you don't ever really need to change the volume from song to song or channel to channel? does that make sense? What standard do they use to do that? for example, whenever i mess around with garage band or something and export it as an audio file into itunes, I get a significant drop in volume compared to other songs. Just kind of curious?

Try buying TV series instead of illegally downloading them off the net. :rolleyes:
Just a tad harsh there. We download and delete within 30 days just the same as is legal on any laptop. Maybe will just download to laptop :)
