    What can you do with a 50mm?

    I'm in the midst of playing with some macro tubes with my 50, will get the results up later tonight.

    I think my Wireless network has been hacked

    A Linksys WRT54G running Tomato definitely lets you drop the Tx power, and up it too.

    I think my Wireless network has been hacked

    Did you miss the part where neo2810 handed my ass to me over this one? OP already admitted he was using TKIP to start off with, and on further reading I think I got confused with WPA/2 hence the ass-handery.

    Formatting Mac HDD to use for MAC and PC, what file system?

    Or native in Snow Leopard with the creation of an fstab entry.

    If you were on TKIP that'll explain the hack then. ;) As per neo2810's posts, AES with a strong key will do you.

    I think my Wireless network has been hacked

    Said hacker has all the time in the world, sitting next door/downstairs in his warm comfy house sniffing traffic. TKIP was hacked back in 2008. Admittedly there are no known common exploits for AES, but the OP didn't mention that. Pointless maybe, but you'd still want them enabled to stop...

    What do you carry in your camera bag ?

    My camera bag has never left my house as I'm yet to take my new camera out. Does that make me a bad person? :D

    I think my Wireless network has been hacked

    Yep, reason being WPA2 is easier to hack if there are clients connected to the access point and traffic going between them.

    I think my Wireless network has been hacked

    WPA2 is easily hacked, I would definitely stick his MAC on the exclusion list. Or setup a permit only list for you and your flat mate. Recommend using a strong key, change the SID and make sure it's stealthed. Presuming this is a Netgear router if it's VM?

    "We're the friendliest forum on the internet"

    It's a darn sight friendlier and intelligent than some of the forums I post on, every thread I read that isn't blighted with "FTW" makes me smile on the inside.

    Installing OSX advice..

    Do you use Time Machine for your backups out of interest? If not it's very handy for system restores, more so using a f/w or USB drive than a network drive as that can get very slooooooooooooooow.

    Menu at the top of the screen during the installation, looks like this: http://www.myapplepc.com/sl/IMG_1163.JPG Excuse the massive pic shamelessly stolen from Google. :)

    Installing OSX advice..

    Yep, sounds like it. If you're not too fussed about the data on there load of Disk Utility during the setup for OSX Leopard and blow the partition with Snow Leopard away. The installer should then complete as normal on a fresh install.
