fosk.it! 2.0

This tip is pretty much noob-proof because it does definitely not involve any system hacking, it is just about installing a few apps. I have done my test and have been using this solution for a few months now on my two external hard disk, which are two Lacie Bigdisk 500GB.
This tip has been fully tested to work under Mac OS X 10.5, however it should work fine in older Mac OS X’s. You just have to install the appropriate app version.

Let’s look at how you can take FULL control on NTFS partitions from your Mac.

This is actually very simple. Install the following apps in order.

1) MacFUSE – http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
look for MacFUSE-Core-10.5-1.5.1.dmg if you’re using Leopard, and MacFUSE-Core-10.4-1.5.0.dmg if you are using Tiger.

2) NTFS-3G – http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/
the latest blog post should provide you the very latest version with download link, i.e. the latest version is 1.2531 at time of writing.

The installation for both of these apps should be plain simple and straightforward.

Whoa-la! After installing both these apps you should be able to Read and Write data onto your NTFS partition.

Notable limitation of the NTFS-3G partition: deleting stuff will not move them to the Trash, you will be prompted to permanently delete them.

Some carbon fiber effect added to make the pic in tune with default dock style.

I did it for teh lulz

The so called tethering is when you use your cell phone signal as a method of connecting your laptop to the internet.

In the case of the iPhone we will be using EDGE to get online. Its not fast but it will do the job.

On your iPhone:

1) From Installer.app install the program called Tinyproxy;

2) Navigate to the settings menu then to the wifi menu. From here select your newly created network. Then press that little blue arrow to the right of the network name;

3) Change the IP Address to Manually and enter “192.168.1.1″ in the IP field and “255.255.255.0″ in the subnet field. Leave everything else blank.

The iPhone field mode shows a lot of information. In fact, it is more comprehensive than many other phone field modes, allowing you to see the details of the individual cell towers and a lot of detail about the cell phone network. For a phone that tries to hide much of the technical details of how it works, that’s a litte surprising. To access it, dial *3001#12345#*. If you are already in a call, just hit “add call”, enter the number above and hit call; the phone will go into test mode, but keep your call connected.

Main Screen

The first screen that you see is the main menu for the field mode. This presents you with the following choices: Network Information, Cell Information, GPRS Information, PDP information, Call Information and Versions. Let’s look at each of these in turn.

I was searching for a graphic card to replace my 2yo 7600GT, 256MB. I’m definitely not on videogames, but I’d like some decent 3D capabilities and over all a MPEG4 AVC hardware decoding. And, most important point, it *MUST* be fanless! I hate that buzzing noise.

There are several “0dB” cards on the maket, built from both nVidia and ATi. From what I understood the latter ones, from series HD2x00 and HD3x00, have an onboard audio decoder that can directly be used as an audio output. That is nice because I plan to use as a second monitor a 32″ LCD TV linked via DVI (with a DVI–>HDMI cable). So that DVI/HDMI cable can be used also to transmit the “sound” avoiding me to use another 3,5″ jack only for this. Then I read some benchmark comparison from an HD3400 and a nVidia 8600GT… uhm better to stay with nVidia!

Even if the nVidia counterpart has not this onboard sound decoder, some card manufacturers that don’t use the reference nVidia PCB design had implemented an S/PDIF pass-through connector. Bacause, trust me, the audio signal that can be transmitted on a HDMI cable is the good ol’ stereo S/PDIF! (yes left/right only, no 5.1 dolby, LOL).

So I was searching for fanless, nVidia and with S/PDIF pass-through. The GPU for my budget was a 8600GT 512MB class.

My first, unlucky bought was a MSI NX8600GT-TD512EZ/D2.

This card is clocked at stock 540Mhz, with 512MB of cheaper 800MHz DDR2 memory (on a 128 bit interface). It’s a nice card with good temperatures due to his big heatsink, copper based.

But it simply won’t fit on my Coolermaster Cavalier 2 HTPC case, with these two heatpipes being too high in the case profile.
