  1. I need a new computer, this is old and Windows and Ubuntu are both going slightly mad.I would enjoy Apple more than those two, but I'd probably still want Ubuntu on whatever I end up with as well.As I see, my options are either buy a Mac, build something for OSX, or build something for Windows. Of the first option, it's between the Mini and iMac. The Mini has integrated graphics, which I have now and I am literally half pleased, half pissed with, though I do not know if this is my old graphics or all integrated graphics. The iMac includes a screen which I don't need. It also doesn't let me choose the graphics, card, it is fixed going up with the moniter sizes and steep prices.I havn't built a computer before, and I don't mind spending an extra £100 to have it built, and the Apple 'tax' of similar value.If anything doesn't make sense, please point it out.


  2. SMF for what the users see, IBP has a lofi version which is what Google sees, caches and uses in search results.You can't really invite spiders.. if your foruim is linked to by a page that Google knows of, that's all you need, eg your sig.As well as what the forum looks like, eg no javascript content, xhtml, etc, SMF and probably an IBP plugin used here, makes search friendly urls.


  3. Erase hard drive and reuse computer

     

    How To Erase Your Hard Drive

    I cannot afford a new computer, but my current one is so slow and probably has a virus and/or worm.

    Can I erase the hard drive in it and then reuse the computer with the same hard drive now that all the info is erased?

    Thanks.

    Yes, though change your practises (Ubuntu or don't open unscanned stuff).

  4. Firewire, while they did push it a lot, has problems like getting past passworded screensavers. It'd be good behind a kensington lock, but not otherwise. Oh.. 800 is still there. "For this reason, high-security installations will typically either purchase newer machines which map a virtual memory space to the FireWire "Physical Memory Space" (such as a Power Mac G5".Not sure I know enough to comment on the rest, like DDR3. Penryn is good, lower energy. This, and Snow Leopard, will really push OSX even further into amazing, in terms of battery life and speed.
