'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
FYI for iPod owners:
A reader found the 850mAh 3rd-generation iPod replacement battery for $17.99 plus $5.99 shipping at BSRTech.com. That's the lowest total price we know to be available for an 850mAh replacement battery. Update: A reader spotted the same battery for $4.95 plus $5.99 shipping at SuntekExpress.com. Update: SuntekExpress.com has since raised its price to $14.95. >[link]
Yeah, but then wouldn't you have to install the battery on your own, Daniel? I'd be scared.
Debet, I'm sure there IS a way, but it's been awhile since I had to do something like that...I could roughly achieve the same thing in Excel (probably using my latest favorite function, "countif").
Comcast is connecting only intermittently for me today. Anybody know if it is the remains of the problem from a few days ago, or a new one?
Typo: Yes. By which I mean, they probably say that it's a new problem, but I work for a broadband ISP, and, well . . . . Basically, the routing servers have gone on strike. You're only able to get to scab sites.
Like this one.
It looks like the problem has resurfaced. I just changed over my DNS servers again, and it's much better.
What did you put in for the DNS servers?
I used 204.127.202.19 and 216.148.227.204, which I spotted on a post on the Comcast boards. I think they belong to ATT.
hey- I've been getting splitting headaches which intensify when I'm using my work computer, which is a Mac. I'm running version 10.2.8, and it looks like the refresh rate is, uh, hidden. Well, it's somewhere where I can't find it. It's not in my "Displays" section of System Preferences, which is where the resolution rate and the brightness level control live.
Do any Mac gurus know where I can check on my refresh rate for my monitor?
Huh. That's weird. The refresh rate is right next to the resolution in the Displays section of System prefs on 10.3, and it looks (based on Apple's support site) that it should be in the same place in Jaguar. Is this computer a laptop? (the fact that you have a brightness control leads me to suspect it might be, or maybe an Aple display...) If it is, is the problem with the built-in LCD or an external monitor?
it is not a laptop, and the problem is an external Apple monitor
