I have an old osx box that records video of motion in the driveway. The hard drive will fill up, and the app(evocam) will stop recording. Is there some app that can email me when…

It's been a while since I tried it, but doesn't Evocam have a setting that does this automatically? Otherwise maybe an applescript that temporarily checks free space on the drive a…

Right last week after backing up and doing a fresh install of tiger i was copying over my files off of an external FW drive everything was fine, until it came to my itunes and ipho…

Hi, I hope someone can help me with this issue, here is the situation. I have a security system ( cams ) but they can only be seen in explorer for windows, I have a new MacBook Pr…

i believe there are two realistic options for you.... 1) you can try a search on google on how to bypass parts of the new intel-based macs/notebooks so as to install Windows XP..…

Are you talking about CAMS as in the Core Automated Maintenance System? Sorry, you're out of luck. The only way they could get the database back end to do what people wanted was …

Your best and simplest method at the moment is to run QEMU the latest unstable build (the download on the RIGHT of the linked page) now lets you install XP. All you need is a XP in…

As my sub states, I was wondering if you guys thought that it's safe/reliable to open files from one computer on another when connected to it on the network. For example, I have w…

Yup. I do it all the time. As long as the computer that hosts the files is reliable, there's no problem. Of course I always recommend that ALL computers and the networking equip…

Thanks!! Since I know that it's safe, I can now enjoy running my files off the powerbook onto my powermac using the cinema display. To think, I used to 'download' it to the power…

Even if the adulteration doesn't hurt your Mac, it can and often does completely hose up whatever media it's embedded in. So you spend some time downloading what you think is the …

Since we are on the topic. What about gnutella/limewire or other P2P services. File corruption is obviously oblivious to the method of download, but what about tracking and securit…

For a torrent to be corrupted, it has to be corrupted at the point of the original distribution or later redistribution. Once it's out there and everyone has copies they're serving…
