Agree with tyr2, a 2 MB limit is insanely small.
If you have access to the unix command line on both ends (use Terminal on the Mac), you can use the 'split' and 'cat' utilities to split up the file. For example, before transferring, you would do:
split -b 2m file_name
This creates 2-MB files with names 'xaa', 'xab', 'xac', and so on. Transfer them to the host, and then on the host do:
cat x?? > file_name
Of course, if your host is really this limiting on upload sizes, I have a feeling that they don't give you access to the unix command line, and thus this method will not work.

don't even go there. :o I went out and bought Bullet Witch & SSX Blur today :rolleyes: That on top of Motorstorm PS3 arriving in the post :D :rolleyes: :D I'm not sure if I'm a gamer or addicted to shopping :D
Depends on how you are actually spending your time, not your money. Gamers mainly game, shoppers mainly shop (or talk shop talk). Others are somewhere in between. If you are actually immersing yourself in the games once they arrive - not just imbibing on their novelty and promises of blissful abandon - then I would say you are a gamer through and through. If after reading this you're still on the fence regarding in which camp you belong, then just ask yourself the next time you have a substantial chunk of free time whether you'd rather be playing a game than reading about it and milking the purchase of vicarious enjoyment of others.
SotN looks great. I also like the idea of a sharper hd version and the attractive border wrapped around the inset game. What would also be cool (er, not exactly, but...) would be ability to toggle between original (100% emulated) music and enhanced soundtrack with high-end DSP (easy on these new consoles).

In the last 4 pages of this forum topic, I think I remember something about you saying you were able to see that persons IP address while they were logging on to xbox live through some program.
well, i don't own an xbox 360 or any console at that.. the last console I've owned is the Nintendo NES :confused: .. I don't know exactly how that program works, but if your able to get an IP address, you can go to http://www.urgentclick.com/address_trace.php
and find out what type of internet they are connecting through, and what company is providing them with internet service. ie: dsl, cable, satellite.
for example.
68.190.xxx.xxx traced to: 68-190-xxx-xxx.dhcp.gldl.ca.charter.com
thats my IP address, it's dhcp (Cable) in glendale, CA. @ Charter communications
at the time the xbox were to connect to XBox Live.. if you get the IP address and run this search, the police would be able to call the internet provider, provide them with the IP in question and a warrant (or whatever is needed), they would be able to give you the perpetrators address.
then just bust down that guys door and the xbox is yours again.
I used to work for comcast communications as a customer service rep, and whenever the police would call in with something regarding theft or IP trace, etc., the process was simple. Literally plug in the IP address into the database and after a simple search, the customers profile would pop up.
if this is done fast enough, you can most likely catch them in the act..
dont know if this has helped or not, or you've probably already tried this, but just thought i'd share my 2cents.

Interesting fact, Win NT was written by the same developers who wrote VMS (an old non-MS operating system from way back).
If you add one letter to "VMS", you get "WNT".
V -> W
M -> N
S -> T
I think "New Technology" just conveniently fitted the letters.

Amen to that! I wonder, the new dual duallies (or dual quads), do they have two or four (four or eight for the quads) WU's at a time? Or can one duallie do one WU and are both processors on one chip working on the same WU?
1 WU per core. The folding app isn't SMP aware in any way. That it's dual core doesn't change anything.
4 WU at the same time (for the Quad) isn't so bad though.

I have always been a fan of microsoft AND apple. A lot of the critisicm of MS must be down to jeolousy, surely. If your product is used on just about every PC in the world that is one hell of an accomplishment. I like the fact that I can use software from differant manufacturers and when I right click (the mouse) I ALWAYS get properties and I can copy , paste between the programmes. ie they all work together as if they are part of one big suite. I am talking from CAD software to graphics, to word processing programmes. I am yet to find out how apple software goes, its OK but I don't find it as intuitive as MS. We need both MS and Apple though, apple has always been that annoying thorn in MS side which keeps them honest...

No MRU...it would have a double wammy: tacked on controls AND wifi...no game has both of those yet so it'd be a must buy for sure :D
It is kind of silly to have that image and all this hoopla. I still can't decide if I want to buy the US or Jap model Wii....I could be testing out the wifi solution if I went Jap...but not sure I could read everything :D

Hehehe ok well sounds like Ill star folding on my ibook aswell, last question(sorry for being anal) but is folding 24/7 on an ibook a good idea(with high temps and all) or should I only folding for short periods at a tim ie 8 or 9 hours, sorry fo being dumb I just dont wanna fry me new beloved ibook :p
I wouldn't let it on 24/7 during July and August, at least not where you live. I had trouble keeping my fan from going wild, not doing much at all during those months in Madrid. Just my 2�

I've got 130 3Ghz Dell desktops, 60 1.7Ghz Pentium M Thinkpads, 2 IBM XSeries both with quad Xeons at 3Ghz, 1 Compaq Prolient with quad Pentium Pros at 200Mhz, and a AS/400. I would love to help you out but there is that whole firing unpleasantness thing that would happen if I loaded unauthorized software office wide. I kinda like my job. Well kinda. I could do without the outsourcing politics that is emerging but that's a different discussion. Hmmm I could roll this software out in our login scripts and tell everyone to leave their computers on 24/7. Wonder how long I could get away with it before.... *shakes head* never mind. Bad idea. :D

Just because a man can do a thing does not mean that he should do that thing. Whether or not you will get caught breaking the law is irrelevant to whether what you are doing is or is not legal. I can go to the supermarket or gas station and steal a bag of ice from outside without getting caught, but it doesn't mean what I'm doing is okay. You might say it's not a big deal--it only costs a dollar, and anyway the supermarket makes tons of money off the other things that they sell, and they probably don't deserve all that money because they underpay their employees.
Moral relativism and justification might make you feel fine about doing it, but it's still wrong and it's still illegal. If you don't care, that's your thing.
Personally, I see nothing wrong with making copies of a song from a CD I bought. Also, I see nothing moraly wrong with downloading songs just to get a taste of an album, because I usually end up purchasing the whole think later on.

That and that fact that you can just talk Mac all day... I mean I dont know about your Mac people out there but in Texas there are alot of us, but few that acctually want to talk about the (place product here).
Down here in Houston we Mac people talk Mac all day everyday. Just get us started and we won't stop :p . You can work there at 16. I'm inbetween 2 apple stores and at both they have 16 and 17 year olds working there.

There is currently a lot of uncertainty about the subject, because people often refer to all four AltiVec funtional units as one AltiVec unit. I think the orginal G4 has only two AltiVec functional units, BTW.

The iBook...The Powerbook Airport reception issues while somewhat resolved:
http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=3480972435
Still if you want to be assured good airport reception,
I'd stick with the iBook.
If videoram and PCMCIA expandibility are important to you, I'd get the Powerbook.
The 14" iBook by the way is actually overkill in some ways because it is a little more than a pound heavier than the iBook and just under a pound heavier than the Powerbook. Its screen pixel density is less than the 12" iBook or 15" Powerbook. The only good thing about the 14" iBook is the fact text will appear larger at 1024 x 768 than the iBook 12" but not larger than the Powerbook, and of course you get the extra hour of battery, but all these machines have about a 5 second wait between swapping batteries when the lid is closed. Something else to note, it isn't wise to keep the Powerbook or iBook asleep when in motion, the drive heads don't park unless you shut down the machines. So before you go out the door, shut down the notebook to make the hard drive last longer. At least both support Firewire for external hard drives.
