Mainter Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 well i was reading the apple thread and they said they dont post here because its all pc (iknow why but keeping it to myself ) anyway here 20-inch G5 iMac available at Costco for $1479.99 with free Apple Protection Plan Apple is “slumming it� a bit in an apparent attempt to unload the last of its G5 iMacs. The computer maker is now selling the 20-inch iMac G5 at warehouse-giant Costco for $1479.99, a savings of $20 over the apple store. PLUS Costco is throwing in the 3-year Apple Protection Plan FREE (a $169 value). Is this a sign that Apple is having trouble moving the remaining supply of 20-inch G5 iMacs? Possibly. Is it a sign that the buzzards are circling above the G5 iMac in an ever-tightening radius? Most definitely. While Costco sells a few iPod peripherals through its chain, the 20-inch G5 iMac is the only apple computer the chain currently sells, and the only Apple product they have sold in recent memory.

Mainter Digerati Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Rip a record This weekend I put helped a buddy put his records on his mp3 player, and this is how we did it... set up the jigawatts First thing is mostly first, turn around your turn table. You should see two wires, one of them split into two. One is the power supply (3) and the split wire is your audio output(2). There should be a red and a white one Go to the shop, and buy a phono (male) to RCA (female) converter (1) just like the one in the picture. Put everything together and put the phono connector of the converter in your computers microphone jack and the power supply into your computers power supply (or your stereo - it doesn't matter.) Software go here http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and download the setup files. Use the set up files. Open up audacity and select the microphone as an input. Turn the input volume right down. Open up your O/S volume controls and turn the microphone volume right down. play Start playing the record, and adjust the two volumes until you get a good balance of sound volume and not a lot of white noise. I needed to turn everything up. Now, go to the start of the track of your record player, and start recording proper. The sound will probably be a bit too low, and the bass a bit to crap. You can up these to your liking by using the effects menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainter Digerati Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 This guide is meant to explain how to increase your speeds when using p2p applications. But first, what I love about my p2p combination, 3mbit connection: eMule - downloading @ 20kB/s (rare file I couldn't find anywhere else) cabos - downloading @ 60kB/s utorrent - downloading @ 110kB/s Total: 190kB/s And i'm still browsing the internet, with just a small slowdown. Previous p2p apps would rarely download fast and even if they did they were either full of spyware/adware, were bloated or extremely slowed down my internet browsing experience. I'd like to recommend: µtorrent for large new files - http://www.utorrent.com/ eMule for rare files - http://www.emule-project.net/ cabos for media files - http://cabos.sourceforge.jp/ They all use very little resources and are spyware/adware free. µtorrent quick tips http://utorrent.com/faq.php Options>Preferences >Network Options Port used for incoming connections: xxxxx You can use any port, 45682 is the one I use. If you have a router, make sure to have this port port forwarded. See below for more details. Randomize port each time µtorrent starts: UNCHECKED I have a router and therefore I leave this unchecked. If you do not have a router or a firewall, and want extra security; check this option. Enable UPnP port mapping (Windows Xp or later only): UNCHECKED I leave this unchecked because I feel it slows down speeds. More research will be done into this option later. Global Maximum upload rate (kb/s): [0: unlimited]: Do not put this to 0. See below for more details. Alternate upload rate... & Global maximum download...: User Preference Use the first option if you plan to seed a torrent. Capping download for testing or to allow browsing is sometimes useful. >Torrent Options Global Maximum Number of Connections: 1000 This number should not be set too low or the number of connections made to your torrents will be limited. Setting it too high may cause too much bandwith to be used and can cause overall slowdowns. Play around with this number and see how many connections are being used in Help>show statistics Maximum Number of connected peers per torrent: 250 This number should be lower than the number above. If you see that the peers connected to a specific torrent are exactly this number, or very close, increase this number to improve speeds. Number of upload slots & Use additional upload: User Preference This depends on how much you want to upload to other users. Do not set too low or it may affect download speeds. I have it set to 4. Maximum number of active & Maximum number of active: User Preference I have mine set to 4 and 3. Enable Scraping Enable DHT, Enable DHT for new torrents: CHECKED This is recommended to be checked to improve speeds. More people will be available for sharing if this is checked. Pre-allocate files: UNCHECKED Prevents fragmentation, user preference. >Advanced Options Most of these can be left on default, except: net.low_cpu> FALSE If you have a low-end machine, keep this one true. Otherwise, if speed is important, set this to false. net.max_halfopen>50 DO NOT CHANGE THIS OPTION unless you have windows xp sp2 and you have patch tcpip.sys. I have mine patched to 50 and hence the above setting. peer.lazy_bitfield>User Preference If you are getting ridiculous speeds (1-5kb/s) your ISP may be to blame. Set this option to true if you believe this is the case. eMule quick tips Cabos quick tips Now to the good stuff. No matter what p2p application you use, here are some basic tips to increase transfer speeds: Do you have a firewall? If you do, >Open up the options/preferences/settings for the firewall - Usually your firewall will have an icon to click in the taskbar (bottom right) >Look for the key words "allow list" or "programs" >Add the application you want to give access to the internet >Make sure to save your settings when you're done Do you have a router? (check out http://www.portforward.com and http://www.firewallforward.com If you do, Go to start>run>type cmd, press enter>type ipconfig, press enter >Remember both your ip address and your default gateway >Type in your default gateway into your default browser (Internet Explorer will work too), a password prompt may come up; I don't know your password >Look for the key words "applications" or "port forwarding" and fill out one line for each p2p client (2 sometimes are needed, see below) >You need to use your ip address, the correct port range (usually just one port, so both min and max would be the same port) and set either tcp or udp >You can find and change the ports in the actual p2p client's settings, just make sure they are the same in the router >Most p2p apps need both tcp and udp checked, if you aren't sure; check your p2p clients' faq >Make sure to save your settings and you're done! In eMule you will get a "high id" (server tab on the bottom right under my info) if your ports are properly forwarded and the firewall allows it through, otherwise you get a low id. Other p2p apps may not tell you if there is any changes but will give you faster speeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you want to make sure you forwarded the ports correctly, certain applications will do this for you. Active ports is one of them: http://www.snapfiles.com/download/dlactiveports.html Cap your upload speed to 80%. Most internet connections will limit your download speed if your upload speed is maxed out. To "fix" this, the general rule is to limit your upload speed to about 80%. Limiting it lower than 80% is a) unfair to everyone transferring the file b) ignorant as many clients will then slow down your download speed if you do this. First, you need to find out your upload speed from your internet provider. You can call them or visit their website. Once you have the number it will probably be in kilobits. Most clients use speeds in kilobytes. 8 bits makes a byte. Therefore, take your number and divide it by 8. Now find 80% of the new number. Here is how I calculate 80% of my upload bandwith: 800kb / 8 = 100kB (b=bits, B=bytes) 100 x 0.8 = 80kB Within my p2p client, I cap my upload speed to 80kB. Keep in mind, if you have many clients open, and every single one is allowed to use 80% then you can easily max out your upload speed and have problems with download speeds. give other suggestions for increasing speeds if you got them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_casek Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 that's on account of you being a sap for microsofts. lemme tell you a story: (about microsofts) one day i was in town with my friend, near the local sub shop. chilling outside and smoking cigarettes. this black guy comes up to me and says 'why you down, man?' i said, 'i'm not' he says, 'you don't have to lie to me' anyhow, he rambles on for a bit telling me how i'm depressed, then starts pointing out things to me all around the sub shop telling me that 'microsofts' makes all of it. it was fucking retarded but hilarious at the same time. 'you see that cup over there?' 'yeah' 'microsofts' 'and that chair, that's microsofts, too' 'oh yeah?' 'oh yeaaaaaah, microsofts makes all of it' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
