During a late 2005 NHL Hockey game, it was alleged that Phoenix Coyotes forward Shane Doan directed an anti-French remark at the referee of that particular game. After an investigation by the NHL, Doan’s name was cleared. Nearly a year and a half later, Doan is the captain of Team Canada at the World Hockey Championships. Amazingly on May 1 all four of Canada’s political parties supported a motion in a session of the Canadian House of Commons requiring Hockey Canada to appear before a parliamentary committee and explain its choice of Doan as captain of the team.

While allegations along the lines of the 2005 one are no laughing matter, something isn’t right here. It would appear as if a hockey player and the game itself may be being exploited for political reasons.

Interference. It’s the biggest problem these days with wireless ethernet and it will kill the speed of your connection. A 54Mb connection is capable of 6.9MB/s at 100% performance. You won’t see 100% performance. You’ll be lucky to see 90% (6.2MB/s). But after cleaning up much of the interference with my base stations, I did see 56% of maximum two rooms over……

If you only have an “Upgrade CD” of Windows XP Home, you can try and make a custom install cd with the required Win98 verification files.

Then use it to install XP with the Boot Camp software.

Note, XP Home may not be fully compliant with the dual core processor.

Avoid a kernel panic with the D-Link DWL122 adapter: “The D-link DWL 122 seems to very buggy drivers on OS X: when you unplug it while your Mac is on, it often crashes with a kernel panic. How can you avoid that?

macosxhints – A simple fix for sound output issues: “My 2GHz iMac G5 (now pretty worthtless, compared to the new Intel iMacs) has been giving me some problems with sound playback. This has been occuring only with certain applications, such as Quick Time Player, Windows Media Player, and even iChat would stop playing sounds every now and then.

I got irked the other morning when I wanted to watch his Steveness from San Francisco via the QuickTime stream. So I looked around, and, lo and behold, there is something quite simple that fixes this problem. This Apple KnowledgeBase document explains the problem and solution:
Some audio applications may change your computer’s audio settings to a sample rate that is too high for other applications to use. In this situation, system alert sounds still work, and does iTunes, but other applications may have no sound.
Now, I don’t know which application would have changed my settings, but the fix is quite simple. You simply open /Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup and change the output settings to 44100.0 Hz (the iMac supports up to 96600 Hz).

An easy fix, but annoying; which applications would be making this change? I’ll try and keep my eyes on it, but, since I don’t use any audio recording software, I cannot figure out what might be the cause.”

NOTE… I FIXED MY OWN PROBLEM AS I SAW 2 DEWVICES LISTED: “NETWORK” AND “IAC”.
WHEN I CHOSE IAC, EVERYTHING WORKED AGAIN.

I hope this helps.

Entering the EFI menu on Intel based iMacs

I figured out a way to get in to the EFI menu on the new Intel iMac. I was attempting to install Vista, which did not work. As I discovered from poking around in the EFI there is no support for UDF or El Torito volumes. It seems only GPT and APM is supported. Writing a driver for EFI to support UDF should be easy enough for someone who knows how, one might even exist already. I’m going to give step-by-step instructions for getting in to the EFI so that some enterprising people will get to work on installing Windows.
