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!
Zenkitty, I used comcast for a voice for a year and had no problems. Their voicemail service is actually pretty good, and will e-mail you when you have a voicemail or notify you through their (admittedly kind of crashtastic) Android app (and, I assume, iOS equivalent). Only dropped it because we weren't really using it very much at all.
ita ! and ND - what filesystem does your Time Machine NAS use on the hard drive? My airport extreme got fried, and I'm replacing it with a much cheaper Asus router that does DD-WRT. I've got it set up, but I have to reformat my connected drive from HFS+ to either FAT32 or ext3 for DD-WRt support and I'm wondering which will be more reliable on Time Machine backup over SMB. If either.
I would think ext3 would be better, being a journaling file system. Ext4 would be better yet if it's supported.
My laptop is making little staticky sounds when I scroll on my scroll pad. That's bad, right?
I have an iPhone 4g. The calendar is synced with my work outlook exchange server. I am a delgate of 2 faculty members. I am receiving meeting requests sent to them on my iPhone as though they are being sent to me personally, not as a delegate. My bosses' names do not appear in the request at all, I am listed as the invitee. It is really confusing because I keep think I am being invited to meetings and I am not.
I have tried googling and my IT department, but I am the first support staff membe to get an iPhone and sync
I'm posting this in tech thread, because it's so damn cool:
Invisible bike helmet

(online store: [link] )
Ooh, I want one of those for winter biking. In NYC in the summer, I'd rather have a ventilated helmet than a scarf.
[edit: Also I just did the currency conversion and it's $500. Yikes! Maybe it will be cheaper when it comes to the US.]
Holy shit, that's amazing!
...And only $600! Er.
