my friend gave me a old xbox (it didn't work). i opened it up it has the old samsung drive in it. i took a q tip and slightly dampened it with diluted windex. and cleaned the eye on it. i looked more closely under the eye there is a clear shield to protect the laser from dust. with a small knife i lifted the eye up to be able to put a q tip with allot of its stuffing removed in there wetted with the diluted windex. i then repeated the process to make sure it was clean.
i put in a game and it worked. it still had problems reading some games so i took a string and 2 pieces of tape and taped one side of the string ot the center of the disk spindle and the other to the drive sled opposite to the front which has a hole drilled in the exact center of the drive. i also seen there was adjustments for the track for each arm. with the dvd drive case removed and everything all hooked up i turned it on allowing me to see if the laser light met the string but it didnt. so i kept turning it off and back on to get the laser to turn on and kept adjusting it till i seen the laser light was touching the string. now the xbox works flawlessly like it was new.
but be warned you can damage the drive beyond repair by lifting to high on the eye.
there is allot you can do with the xbox, i see a mod to where you take a broken xbox (something that has mobo problems and wont work at all) de solder the memory chips on the broken xbox mobo and put them in the working xbox to give it double ram (128mb ram)
i did a easy mod to mine be removing the stock IDE cables and replace it with 80 wire 40 pin ultra ATA/133 IDE cable and it does improve loading times.
you can turn it into a media center or what have you. there is basicly nothing you cant do with a old xbox. providing you install a mod chip in it ( i helped a friend install one on his and boy was it a PITA to do)

I was planning on going to the Apple Store in Baton Rouge this evening, but since the line has already started forming, I'm just going to stay in Lake Charles and go to the Derek Drive store. I was the first person last year in line at this store. I'll be there around 12ish. Anyone else planning on going?

I am getting an error when trying to empty my trash bin with an external hard drive attached and turned on. The message is, "The operation could not be completed because an unexpected error has occurred. (error code - 8003)". When I turn off the external hard drive (which happens to be my Time Machine backup drive" the trash disappears from my trash bin. That's the only way I can remove files from my internal hard drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this will help you or not since I'm running OS X 10.4.11 with Firefox 3.6.16 and Safari 4.1.3, but anyway, in Safari it goes back to the previous place on the Google results page, on Firefox it goes back to the top of the results page. I don't know if there's a setting that can be changed in Firefox to make it work the other way.
I never use that method, what I do normally is command click (or right click) the link so it opens in a new tab, that way I don't have to go back and forth loading the Google results page.

Just made my way to the local Apple Store...
They require the device to be there (so they can check if it is under warranty) and I didn't have my iPod touch with me.
Next time I'll go, I'll bring my iPod touch and they'll replace it.

Anyone know what the differences are going to be between the soon to be introduced Apogee MIKE versus the Apogee One?
Mike is literally a microphone for iOS only
One is an Audio interface with a built-in mic for your computer

Is there a simple shortcut or macro in Apple Mail to simplify the HTML tag for linking to a different web page? In other words, instead of clicking on:
http://www.macrumors.com
...I could hide it under "Click HERE" and the HERE would underline and light-up when you hovered over it? If there's not, that would be a good thing to add to Mail in the future.
(Sorry, but I'm just learning HTML...)
This feature won't appear until Mail supports composing HTML emails. It doesn't look like Mail in Tiger (http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/mail.html) will have this feature.

The missing alt attributes on your img tags is not causing the rendering difference, but you do have a number of images that sole purpose is to create empty space, which is bad design. You aren't making use of CSS in your design, which would make certain things simpler.
As for the issue at present, adding the following to your CSS will fix it.
a img {
Cartoon man with love heart
stock photo : 3d render
For Love Heart for Mac OS X

Video only needs about 700KB a sec bandwidth when it come to a typical modern DVD rip to avi or h.264 unless it's HD but even then it's maybe 2-3MB/sec.
Most of the 720p h264 media on the web is upward of 4MB/s (due to scene rules), with an extra 640/768/1536KB/s for audio. So the bitrate can easily reach around double what you're suggesting.

I just listen to CBC Radio 3 and pretend that I'm Canadian ;)
CBC Radio 3 (http://radio3.cbc.ca/) is awesome. I listen to Grant Lawrence's podcast and the R3-30 podcast every week. The Sessions podcast is amazing too.
I've found so many amazing bands because of CBC Radio 3.....

I'm taking a dreaded Document Formatting class for college and what I thought would be the easiest A of my life has become a nightmare. I never realized that Word 2007 for PC was so different from my 2008 version for the Mac.
Here's what I need to do.
Change the line spacing to 1.15. NOT 1.5 which is an option on my Mac. Apparently Word 2007 has this new spacing for it's default and I keep bombing each assignment cause I didn't notice the difference. I REFUSE TO GO TO CAMPUS AND USE THEIR PC's. I will not admit defeat, but I will ask for your help.
HELP!

or make vista look like windows 3.1, that would be awesome. It would be great, but i'm not so sure if it will happen.
...wha? When did Core Animation get ported to Windows? I missed that memo!
