Technically no they are not.
Damn. Thanks, ND.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Depending upon what you are doing with it the wrong cables will probably work with no problem Jon. I just wanted to clarify that from a technical specifications standpoint they are not identical.

What happened was I sold someone a used HD Tivo and included the red/white/yellow cables but no red/blue/green cables. She's complained to me about it and I want to know if I am morally OK in saying "no difference!".

The main problem I can see is that if she uses the red/white/yellow cables for the component video, she won't have any left for audio. (Also, she should just go online and buy a cheap HDMI cable. It will look *much* better than component.)

I think her TV doesn't have HDMI.
I told her that she should first try the red/white/yellow. If that doesn't work out, I'll refund her the cost of a set of component cables. Amazon has them for $3.49.

Oddly enough I just bought a set of component cables (red/blue/green ) from BestBuy which caused everything to look pink. When I replaced them with a set composite/audio cables (red/white/yellow) that I had laying around everything looked fine.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Maybe the blue and/or green cable had an internal break?

Maybe msbelle tampered with them.

I'm looking for a Mac FTP client with the ability to schedule uploads. Anyone got a favorite?
(Currently we're using Cyberduck because it's free, but I could probably persuade my boss to shell out for something more full-featured.)

I love Transmit, but I’m not sure if it schedules uploads. Transmit just got a new upgrade.
