Hi all. I've been reading and searching but have a couple of questions about my 'new' Apple Power G4 Dual 867 Mhz. I'm going to be using it for media storage and as a back up device for my iMac and macbook. Its going to be in my bedroom so we can watch films etc in bed on lazy days as well.
My questions are:
Can I use a Sata drive run from a PCI Sata controller card as the boot drive?
Will the power supply be up to running 6 hard drives inside? (4 in standard locations and one in each 5.25 bay)
Are there any perennial issues with this model I should look out for?
I want to give it a good going over before I get it up and running. I was going to clean and reapply Arctic silver to the CPU/heatsink interface, upgrade to 2Gb RAM, replace the rather noisy fan with a higher CFM quieter version and anything else you guys can recommend

I'm very happy that Apple has finally muzzled their suppliers.
These "sources" should not be revealing parts, and dates, and production info. Given the identical circumstances that occurred prior to the iPad 2 launch, I'd say it's quite obvious that Apple has finally reigned in the leaks.
It was getting very embarrassing that super-secret Apple with their Gestapo tactics, was unabe to keep 95% of the details of new products a secret, because some shmuck in some factory has Internet access.

It's certainly not as sleek as before but that's my first impression. Not quite as professional looking and the UI is almost 'overdone'.
Might revert to Tweetie 1.
Maps are nice though.

The only electric cars I would consider are the Tesla and Fisker Karma. Personally, mpg does not enter my train of thought when purchasing a car. And it MUST growl when on the throttle ;-)
Why the Volt appeals to me is because 90% of the time I would be driving around in electric only mode as my commute is at most 16 miles. But when I go to the airport, I have that gas engine to keep me going after that initial 40 mile charge is gone.
And unlike the Leaf where it takes 20 hours to recharge on the standard outlet, the Volt takes 8 hours to recharge.

The preconceptions that lead you to reject it are not the same as it "not working."
You mean the preconception that a business suit is normal attire and has no logical comparison with the topic at hand? Yep.

In 5 years time, Kindle OS will have a greater market share than android I think.
Really stop lying to yourself. Android is a powerful mobile OS that can be adapted to many situations. Its not going anywhere for a while. Kindle will not outsell it as kindles direct competition the Nook (an android device). Android will save people money in the future. Why right your own set of code for a cash register when you just build it on top of android.

The irony of a forum with a very large gay and bisexual membership to ask for blood donations is beyond ridiculous.
Think this through, MacRumors, think this through.
Why would it be ironic? Giving blood is a selfless act and anything that helps increase stocks is a positive.

No, it's just principle. Some people just need to be "removed" from the world. It's as simple as that. Like if you rape a baby for example, i think you pretty much just stripped yourself of your right to be alive. Euthanize them like a dog, why not? And also, you don't know if some judge 50 years in the future will release them for good behavior and so they can "die in peace".
Why kill 'em when you can give 'em free food and lodging for life?

Jobs, no jobs, no money, more "entitlement" needed so that people don't starve...
Sorry, that's the Truth..
There are jobs "out there" - everything says, "Made in China" and all your calls go to India...
It's a no-brainer...

Okay, I think $100k is a *little* excessive... and could encourage those who aren't as passionate about children to pursue a teaching job just for the money.
I think starting at $50-60k would be more than reasonable... I mean for only working 9 months out of the year plus receiving the benefits that teachers usually do... that'll sweeten the deal a lot. Especially in my field, physics, the way things are now I could either start as a teacher for $40k if I'm very lucky, or $50k+ in the industry. I'm just out of college and as poor as a rat... what do you think I would do? I'm not Mr. Materialistic or anything, but I have school and an apartment to pay for.
I think the real monetary incentive in teaching should be the bottom right corner of the matrix... those who have higher degrees and have worked for many years. It'll encourage people to be into teaching for the long-haul. However, that might introduce problems with ever-changing research on effective teaching styles, so maybe that isn't just a great idea.
Just some thoughts.

you obviously haven't taught before, have you? for "only" working 9 months...the fact is, if teaching were a year-round gig, no one would do it. and i don't know what "benefits" you're talking about. someone once figured out that if you count all the out-of-school hours that teachers spend on grading, prepping, etc., many teachers are actually paid less than minimum wage.
i've always felt that not only are good teachers worth $100grand/year, but that kind of salary would make teaching competitive so that bright, enthusiastic, and promising individuals would have a reason to pursue teaching and not be turned off by the poor wages. yes, there will be some who pursue it strictly for the money, but if the wages are high enough, there will be increased competition for jobs and the good teachers will more often than not get the jobs. bad teachers or those who don't care about the kids are easy to identify.
my 2 cents...sorry for the OT rant.

But what if torturing a person who is involved in the plans of a terrorist attack could prevent thousands of deaths?
Torturing would never be a good action, but it is like killing someone to defend yourself, killing is bad, but the result of killing saved your life.
In the case of torture, it is the government defending its people (country). If it can be avoided better, but I would rather authorize torture instead of letting attacks happen.
EDIT: As with everything, every single case needs to be analyzed separately.
The type of country which is willing to torture people will always inspire more violence against them. You might save 100 lives today and lose 10,000 lives the next year because of that behavior.
The ends don't justify the means torture is wrong period.
Would you support forcible medical testing on people if that forcible testing might save hundreds of thousands of lives in the future?

Sorry... they don't sit in a room and strategize on how to mess with Jail Breakers. Sorry... they don't. They are just trying to address some bugs in the current release and that's a good thing.
Yes... it will probably break the JB... but that is your risk and your decision to JB. So, yes... my original post stands.
LOL that's such an immature comment from yourself.
Of COURSE they are trying to patch up the Jailbreak holes found by the JB community....
Sure they have bug fixes, but rarely will they go "to fix a security hole that allows users to jailbreak"
so no, it's not "PROBABLY" break the JB.... is: it WILL.
He was stating a fact.

ok. its now running from a 320Gb sata drive!
I left carbon copy cloner running all night to make the bootable copy.
I was a little bit worried about leaving all night as I could not watch the temps. I guess I'm just a bit worried I may have screwed up the thermal paste. But no, it survived showing 52deg when I checked this morning.
Especially because it's a file server you should be running Nap on it. Someone around the PowerPC forum here posted a link to CHUD 3.5.2 which is what you need for Nap to work on an MDD. I forget exactly which thread though. Your idle temps will be in the low 40's then.
When I used to have a dual 1.42 and dual 867 MDD I ran nap on both and also rigged a second 120mm fan on the back of the case. With the extra 120 on the back the same 867 model you have was down in the high 30's when idle and never higher than maybe 48C even under heavy load for hours. Used only as a file server though the CPU's will almost always be idle. Even a single 350MHz G4 would be plenty of power for a file server.
So to sum up.. using nap will help keep the CPU's even cooler than cool and give them many more years of life to power your file access.

I acquired a Lacie 300736U DVD light scribe. It has no cables and looks to be in very good condition. I am wondering if it can be connected to a dell T2642. If so where can I get the needed cables and software? I would really like to try light scribe.
