Hey,
Ive been having great speed losses and only just figured out why.
I do a speed test while im next to the router... give's speeds of 48meg. I ran this a few times and all were 47-49meg.
I then went into my bedroom and speed tests ranged from 11meg-20meg....i did this a few times... then went back to the same room as the router and speeds again were 47-49meg.
So looks like a distance issue... howevever... i live in a bungalow and the distance from me to the router is about 10 meters (if i was to ignore the 2 walls inbetween). However my laptop shows full 5 bars (the maxium) for signal.
Im using the standard virgin media N router (Dlink)
Any suggestions? Ive tried going on different channels but still the same issue is present.

Hello,
An issue I have wasted way too much time on and hoping for some insight here. I have a bunch of PDF's I am trying to open in illustrator. The vector images come through alright, but all the text is converted to . If I save the PDF again in Preview as a PDF-X the text now appears as random numbers and symbols like: +4)%$*0!$)%#5!!673!%$'()*#!+,$-!
I am now saying "+4)%$*0!$)%#5!!673!%$'()*#!+,$-!:mad:" and any insight would be appreciated.
PS the text will copy and paste with no errors from preview into word or illustrator. It is only when I open the file in illustrator the text is gone.

My girlfriend is Spanish, and we both love movies. We also both prefer movies in their original tongue with subtitles. I've looked in iTunes, and as I suspected, there are no subtitle options when buying a movie.
Is there a way to burn a dvd with subtitles on a MBP. I mean, I know there is, but what's the best way? I have Toast, but don't really know how to use it. Hardcopied subtitles or selectable...it doesn't matter. I'm going to see her next week, and if I have to, I'll just bring some DVDs where I can selected them in the menu, but that seems so...obsolete.
Thanks in advance!

Every cell phone sold in the US has to have a working GPS device in it, and the GPS has to be "on" at all times.
Yes, but would be better if the GPS were not reliant on the Cell network being available.

the ipad 2 just came out. Can you at least give it a month before talking about jailbreak.
more than 1/5 the world do not have theirs yet. Like people in villages of Africa are waiting, people in Asia as well. People from rural america as well.

I would suggest looking into getting a SSD and maybe maxing the ram at 8GB. That would take care of your lag issues. Unless your looking at getting into serious gaming and then you may consider the newer laptop... Personally I would say invest in the Ram and SSD and save the rest of the money.

That is correct. I've subscribed to their tethering plan but the personal hotspot item doesnt show up under settings/network. I'm guessing at this point that something about the jailbreak is suppressing this - or perhaps the mywi install?
I'd call up AT&T.
They might need to reset your accounts tethering access.

That is very sad.
I would not be surprised if that show was the most syndicated around the world.I also have to wonder if it did help shape American culture at the time, even if it was just a little bit.
I also wonder how many black leather jackets it helped sell :D

Here's a little criticism for the designers or whomever.
I think the logo and title in the upper left corner could use a different treatment... something more dynamic and interesting. How about if the logo was larger, tilted a couple degrees counter-clockwise, and somewhat cropped at the bottom and top. The title could use some work too.
Does Anyone know what typeface the MR title is set in?

As I posted in a more obscure thread,
Never forget that the zune brought us this:
http://static.flickr.com/103/294929001_b67b0b5225.jpg
I still find it a little disturbing but I think it's also possibly the single funniest thing I've ever seen involving Microsoft.
I have never actually used a zune. They looked ok really, except the brown one (IMHO).
Everytime you buy a Zune an Asian girl has an orgasm...

no idea on your system, but have a g3 powerbook (pismo) that has not had a pram battery in it for about the last 7-8 years, and works just fine. i put a script to sync the clock in the startup folder, and i've never had a problem.
i think for what you're going to use it for, it will work fine. best of luck.

Oh how I wish I had bought stock when Jobs was just coming back on board. I seem to remember it has being around $10.00 share in the late 90's. But, at least I have some now. And, I keep contributing to their bottom line. Drink the Koolaid!!

Fivepoint, I do wish you would stop it with the sensational and inaccurate threads. If not for our sake, yours. They are intentionally designed to bait and inflame.
+1, I'm not going to even finish this stupid thread.
5P, should we just kill all people on welfare? Their a drain right? Maybe we can heard up all non christians and deport them.
See I can make stupid sensational statements to

This is a total no-brainer. T-Mobile doesn't have it's own network, it rents its airtime from Cingular... Apple and Cingular are already in bed. It's a trickle-down effect... T-Mobile wants their own iPhone. Not surprising, really. (and yeah, release the Cracken! (err.. iPhone!)...
T-Mobile is an independent network. It and Cingular have rented infrastructure to one another at various times in the past to mutually help with each other's coverage, but T-Mobile is a real mobile phone operator. (It's what used to be Voicestream.)
I'm not entirely sure why people keep propogating this myth. It makes no sense on the face of it.

If he wants to trade, ask for the computer and $250. The new 13" is considerably faster in benchmarks, has a pretty comparable GPU, better battery, etc. I'd just buy what you want and keep it

thanks all. I'm aware of the apple refurbs (my mini and macbook are refurbs. its a great way to save some cash!)
Thanks for the advice all. iLife is definitely required so I think he will just go for a standard version
thanks again
I don't think it's worth it. If you're going to raid1 the drives in the server you'll only be getting 500gb of usable space (- the space used for applications and OS-X). For the $200 saved over the server edition you'd be well on your way to a Drobo style storage solution, or even cheaper, the OWC Mercury Elite dual enclosure which you could use for Raid1 storage anyway.
Unless you have to have OS-X server - save your shekels.

Personally I don't see the point of having a 24'' screen if the res is the same as the 23''. It's more about resolution than size for me. If they are the same I'd rather have the smaller one.

Gapless playback on my 60GB 5G now works. Thank you apple. Finally.
... unfortunately Apple decided to not afford us lowly Nano owners the same courtesy :mad:
I certainly hope they decide to do the right thing and issue a firmware update that will allow gapless playback on the Nano � what a shame�

Sounds good. :) What about Numbers? I pray they don't dumb it down like Pages, please!
If a word processor can even be dumbed down, it's been poorly designed... Pages is my wp of choice now for just about everything. I find Word too noisy-- I have never used more than half the functions in Word (even after putting in a good effort to "learn to use them effectively").
I agree with the crowd that thinks compatibility is important. There's two levels of compatibility though-- functional and superficial. If they can make it functionally compatible with a reasonable subset of Excel functions, then it will be enough for me to use and share files.
There are times though when superficial compatibility is critical-- where it needs to print and format on another machine just the way you wrote it. I run into this problem with Keynote-- I can export something to Powerpoint to use as a starting point for cleanup, but it's rarely presentable straight from export.
Maybe Cellmate?
I like it! Much better than "Charts" or "Numbers"...
