First, on one machine, go to System Preferences > Sharing, and turn File Sharing on. Then go into the Network preference pane, and note the IP of the computer on whichever network connector you're using (Ethernet, AirPort). Then, on the other machine, in Finder, choose "Go > Connect to...

On the DG834G (I have the same router), you have an added feature, called "MAC Filtering" which allows you to create a "whitelist" of devices (your Mac, your Wireless Bridge), and all other devices are not permitted to join the network.

As you can see, ActiveX is a bit of a sore point for some people :P. It's not a movie format, and therefore will not run in WMP or anywhere else; it's a format for making browser plug-ins for Internet Explorer for Windows, competing with the cross-browser Netscape plug-in architecture (which is...

The problem is with the memory in DIMM slot 5; you should replace it (and its pair). I'm not sure exactly how you figure out which is slot 5 in a G5, having never seen a G5's RAM slots. Edit: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302812 gives information in determining which DIMM slot...

Wikipedia has a great article on Screamers; very in-depth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prank_flash

Apple's Safe Sleep (a feature on all the new Intel Macs, and a quiet feature of some of the previous laptops, IIRC), is fine at Safe Sleep (or Hibernate). One important consideration, always, is that you don't perform the safe sleep (or Hibernate in Windows) while you're connected to any remote...

So set up a KVM with just the Mac mini and the secondary PC, allowing you to keep it, but only replace its keyboard and mouse. You'd be keeping all avenues open. The Internet is a perfect use for a Mac since you avoid all the security issues, and Safari is a very admirable web browser. You can...

No. The computer when it's asleep is not doing any work.

Wouldn't a better option be to switch to USB components? Get a USB KVM, a USB keyboard and mouse, and add a Mac mini (my suggestion). You'd be able to get away with one set of peripherals for all three computers; you'd be using better components, and you can justify the price because it...

I've been changing the files in the Options pane, and yes, the iPod has software version 1.1. I'm beginning to suspect that the thing needs a format; start from scratch, but it takes so blasted long to do that with this many songs :D. Maybe once I move to Tiger.

They can and do; I, personally do exactly that. And depending on the firm, many professional web-design institutions do likewise. The problem is just convenience. Safari tends to work similarly to Firefox (which is available, of course, on PCs). Mac IE is a dying market. Internet Explorer for...

Just another little aside; something else I've noticed that's weird: I've set a number of video files to be "TV Shows" in iTunes, but no "TV Shows" option shows up in the Video section of the iPod. I'm not able to change anything in iTunes at the moment, but is there a setting in the iPod for...

If you hold down F12, it should work as an eject key. As for the right-click Expose, you should look at the Expose System Preferences and make sure it's not set to instigate any of Expose's functions.

The main reason PCs are used so much in web-design is that, unlike print design and imaging/video work, web-pages are viewed again by people with computers, most of whom have PCs. That is, a web-designer would have to be pretty careless not to test on (and build around the flaws of) Internet...

It's a pretty good idea to check software's System Requirements before purchasing it, especially with things like Motion that need good, fast processing. I'd also hate to work with Motion at 1024x768, personally.

'Course you can; just don't burn it to an Audio CD. Burn it to a data or mp3 disc (depending on the file type of the songs you're burning).

I have that Netgear router, and it's anything but no-fuss. The firewall is (rightly so) on by default, and therefore, you need to open the bazillion ports that iChat AV wants.

dmetzcher: it's wordpress.org I personally host my site on my own old iMac G3. It's a WordPress blog.

Better solution: http://tpemble.urfbownd.net/itunes/itunes-art.php Ctrl+Click (or right-click) on any album art in iTMS, choose "Copy iTunes URL" and then paste it onto that site to get the album art for any song Apple have on iTunes. (Works fine for international stores, too)
