Moving to systemd - few questions,

Hi all,
After the latest update I decided to jump to systemd completely, and have few questions.
- I used a static IP address set-up within rc.cong previously and wish to carry on, but the wiki regarding the network and systemd isn't very clear - could anyone point me to the right information?
- I have removed all my daemon from rc.conf at the exception of "xinetd"  simply because I cannot find the name of the service to be enable.
- I am running squid on the computer and after checking the booting time it seems to take forever - is there a way to load service in the background like "@" previously or checking which order those service are starting (I have the feeling squid is trying to load before the network has started)
- Is there a way to use systemd to start application at boot time, like pyLoad (download manager)?
Looking forward for your replies,
Regards,

I won't be able to comment on everything, but here are my 2¢:

If I recall correctly, networking in rc.conf is deprecated. You should switch to netcfg.
I have removed all my daemon from rc.conf at the exception of "xinetd"  simply because I cannot find the name of the service to be enable.
What daemons did you have running before? Also, a "pacman -Ql <package> | grep service$" should list all service files belonging to a package. A common gotcha: There's not explicit dbus service file, dbus is at the heart of systemd and gets started automatically.
I am running squid on the computer and after checking the booting time it seems to take forever - is there a way to load service in the background like "@" previously or checking which order those service are starting (I have the feeling squid is trying to load before the network has started)
Systemd is, by default, "aggressively parallelized". The service file shipped with squid starts as soon as the network is available (due to the line "After=network.target"). You might want to read up on service files and targets (man systemd.service/systemd.unit/systemd.target) if you want to customize that.
Is there a way to use systemd to start application at boot time, like pyLoad (download manager)?
If you want to run pyLoad as its own user, just enable the service file shipped with it:
# systemctl enable pyload.service
If you want it to run at the start of your own user session, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while—systemd for the user session is not yet ready for prime time.

  • MOVED: K9A Platinum - few questions...

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107973.0

    "Also how do i set my HT link speed, all i've got is "overclocking" and "standard"? "
    if you are OC, use/select "overclocking" HT setting. if you use stock parameters use "standard" HT setting.
    "Also my 1T/2T option is greyed out, how do i change it?"
    should be able to change it, you may need to apply memory config to manually 1st.(parrent menu)
    "Lastly, how can i run 2 HDD's on raid and another non-raid."
    enable raid(from BIOS) for channels where are connected your 2HDD which gonna be part of the RAID, then create an array(from RAID utility just after bios post), pickup desired RAID mode and assign your 2 HDDs(don't forget to make them active(bootable, with "B" key at the end of process).
    for 3th drive, just use it like regular drive, disable RAID for the channel where it is connected.

  • Thinking of moving to iMac from PC, got a few questions

    I'm thinking of moving to an iMac for my next computer, probably in the next 6 months or so, but I have a few questions I wondered if you might be able to help me with.
    I'm planning on getting Parrallels Desktop and installing Windows. Now I know Time Machine takes backups every hour. But I was wondering if it will also backup not only the Mac side but the Windows side too.
    For example, if I install a program on the Mac side, edit a file, delete a file etc, Time Machine will backup the changes on its next backup. If I done the same while running Windows, i.e install a program on the Windows side, edit a file, delete a file etc, does Time Machine backup these changes for the Windows side too.
    Presently for my backing up purposes. I have a hard drive caddie which has a esata connection as well as a USB connection. I have a 3.5 inch 1 TB sata drive that slides in and out of my caddie by way of (for want of a better word) a cradle. I'm planning on getting a 3.5 inch 2 TB sata drive and an additional cradle so that I can have a large collection of backups.
    Now with the hard drive caddie I've mentioned above, to use it on an iMac, I would only be able to connect it via USB. My fear with this is that it will be a lot slower at taking backups to what I am currently used to seeing when I have it connected to my PC via esata.
    I thought about this and noticed the LaCie eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series on the Apple website http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H8875ZM/A/lacie-esata-hub-thunderbolt-series?f node=5f&fs=m.tsConnections%3Desata
    From what I can gather, it would allow me to connect my current esata caddie up to it and it would increase the performance of it to Thunderbolt performance and also would allow me to make use of my current hard drive in the process. I was wondering if anyone has used this hub and if so, is the performance significantly improved. I thought that Thunderbolt would be a good and extremely fast way of taking backups. I will point out that I find that the taking backups every hour with Time Machine, for me would be a bit of an overkill, so I'm planning on just switching Time Machine off when I don't need it to take backups, and then switching it back on when I want it to take a backup. Doing this could result in larger backups than if I had it doing it hourly, so again I thought something that would give me Thunderbolt performance would be good for this scenario.
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    By default TimeMachine does not back up your Parallels virtual machine and if you think about it that's a good thing. Since the Virtual Machine is in effect a hard drive, just booting up Windows or launching a program changes the VM file as temporary files are created. My VM is 25GB so not only would TimeMachine be making a copy of the VM every hour that Parallels is running, it would be copying 25GB! Not good.
    There are a number of solutions. On my desktop I use a different program to backup my VM each evening about the time I eat dinner. On my notebook I have a repeating reminder that asks if I've backed up my VM recently. As far files go, my solution is to save all my files to my Mac drive space so that TM backs them up.
    USB is slower than eSATA but for day to day use, USB is fine for TimeMachine. The initial backup will be longer and OS updates will result in longer backups but otherwise....I have a USB drive connected to the computer I'm using right now. On most hourly backups TM is running a couple minutes and it doesn't require much bandwidth or CPU so the only time I really notice it running is I look at the drive light.

  • After moving from Entourage to Mail - a few questions.

    I have just switched over from using Entourage 2008 to Mail, and so far I am happy (especially because of the better stability), but had a few questions about using Mail.app:
    - In the list of mail items, how do I (can I?) select the last email in the list? In Entourage, I could press End and it would do that - now End just moves the list down but does not change the selection.
    - I use IMAP, and I would like an option to just check the Inbox for new mail, not several seemingly arbitrary sub-folders, which is what happens when I choose Get New Mail for that mailbox.
    - Mail.app is not honoring my Manually setting for Check Mail for my IMAP folders - it checks for new messages regardless. How can this be stopped?
    - I don't like the relative dates ("Yesterday," "Today" etc) in the message lists - how can these be turned off?
    Thanks for any pointers here.

    One other question - is there an (elegant) way to set up a send-only email account? I have a forwarding account which I would like to be able to "send from," but I can't/don't receive at.

  • A few questions and some things we found about Memory Management

    We have been development a pretty complex RIA in flash; true
    we probably should have used flex but we are very heavily invested
    in flash and moving to flex was not really an option due to time
    constraints and the learning curve associated with changing. That
    reminds me are the Flex UI Objects going to be made available for
    Flash CS3 I mean that advanced datagrid would be nice?
    The application is a order processing and document
    management system that has around 150 swf’s and I am posting
    here to let people know what we found through our development and
    testing cycles and also have a few questions that I am hoping
    someone will at least point me in the right direction.
    We were kind of disappointed to find that you could no
    longer duplicate Movies and were forced to reload them if we wanted
    different instances, but we got over that fast. Keeping this in
    mind we decided to make as many dynamic screens as we could but
    these turned out to be horribly time consuming. I mean sure we
    could make the fields jump around like fleas on a dogs back (and it
    was a great joke) but not very practical. So back to the IDE and
    fla creation we went. This leads me to my first question has anyone
    see heard of or thought about a SWF file reader that would read the
    layout of a SWF and then generate the actionscript as output?
    As we were developing we found that it was more complex, and
    I think unnecessarily so, to get connected to a database. We use
    ColdFusion as our “middleware” so it wasn’t to
    bad and this leads me to my next question. Is there or has there
    been any indication that Flex data services or well I guess BlazeDS
    now is available for Flash CS3?
    So we went on our merry little way and everything was going
    great until testing this is when we started to see what kind of
    memory flash really eats up. In the beginning our app would take up
    a gig through the course of a day.
    Any Class that we created we added a CleanUp method to it.
    Yes we used weak listeners, yes we destroyed, and all references to
    the main movies, and yes that was it the main movies.
    Don’t be fooled the same way we were. The Garbage
    collection simulation
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/garbage_collection.html
    does not really tell you the whole story. Even though if you cut
    the line from the root the simulation suggests that the rest of the
    objects that you have created within that object will be marked and
    collected. Not so.
    After much testing we found that if we wanted a full recovery
    of memory the object and it’s sub objects and sub sub ojects
    within arrays also with sub objects must be deallocated and then
    assinged null to get full collection, I say full but really mean
    between 90-95% reminds me of my C programming days.

  • Few questions about cs6

    Hi
    i have few questions about cs6
    is there a way to let the ruler and straighten like cs5 ? i gave a look to my friend cs6 and cs6 ruler and straighten leave transparent image around the corner
    and is there a way to set for each adjustament layer a size ? for example i like a big curve window but for example have a smaller level windows
    thanks
    cheers

    mantralightroom wrote:
    nope
    The feature is there, where Christoph described it, though I would have liked it if they'd left an option for the Ruler Tool button to allow people to add "and crop" as well.  But Adobe have confirmed they moved it out of there on purpose, presumably because new users would expect to crop their image using the Crop Tool, not the Ruler Tool.
    mantralightroom wrote:
    i would like to know if i can store the size of each dialog window
    You MUST be talking about the Properties panel, where adjustment layer info is shown, because the dialogs you get when you do things like Image - Adjust - Levels or Image - Adjust - Curves is not resizeable in any way I can see.  At least not on a PC.
    No, there's no special option that allows dialog sizes to be saved separately.  It's just one panel, and the size of the panel itself defines the size of the contents up to each of their max sizes.

  • N97 mini: a few questions (touchscreen, battery, k...

    Hi all,
    I have a few questions on the N97 mini I was hoping you guys could help me with:
    touchscreen and navigation arrows: if I choose to, can I avoid to use the touchscreen and resort to the arrows in the keyboard? For example, to navigate in a web page
    battery life: what's your experience so far?
    keyboard: I understand this is very subjective, but how are you finding it? I hate to type on touchscreens. Do you find it convenient or is it annoying to open the sliding keyboard every single time?
    I am considering moving from the E71 to the N97 mini, because an operator has a pretty good deal on it, and because I'd like a bigger keyboard and bigger screen, even though I understand this comes at the price of reduced battery life.

    I have N97 and fully drain it before the end of the day and so have a spare battery, this is not because the phone or battery are bad ! It's because I am constantly using it, I have apps running all the time, watch video every lunch time, browse the web whenever I get a spare 5 minutes, txt and e-mail and even make the occasional call !! Lol
    I have never used a phone as much as this one and was very 'anti touchscreen' before I got it, and only took the chance brcause of physical keypad, but I wouldn't go back, not saying E-series aren't good phones but 'fun factor' on a larger touch screen is massively more. Plus it will still do all the 'normal 'stuff fine. Give it a go 
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

  • Constant Wifi Disconnect After Moving To SystemD

    Hi All,
    I used netcfg for months with a WPA2 connection using the initscripts. I finally moved to systemD. I was getting dbus errors from systemD using systemctl so updated via pacman which fixed the errors. I did this within minutes apart so not for sure if a kernel update broke something - stupid move on my part.
    Any how I followed the wiki guide for netcfg, within a few minutes and after a reboot was happily working away.  I configured the wifi like so:
    systemctl enable netcfg@gloryhole
    Then the wifi disconnecting started at random intervals but very quickly, what seems to be less than 3 minutes.

    After reading some forums they recommended net-auto-wireless.
    systemctl enable net-auto-wireless
    Still no luck, another forum recommended removing netcfg and trying some thing else, since they had constant disconnects. I installed wicd and disabled services that could conflict with wicd.  Disconnect problem still exists
    I verified hardware is OK, in windoze wifi card works great, pulled down many gigs with no problem testing. My laptop has native systemD install with wicd and works great so nothing with my AP.

    So still being frustrated and tired of having a long cat5 cable across my house I decided to take another whack at this.
    First thing first I disabled WPA2 on the AP and let it wide open, even though every other device was working. Was hoping to rule out wpa but instead it got worse.
    I first tried netcfg, after removing everything I could find on wicd. The issue with netcfg is I could connect but couldn't surf. A little testing showed that there is a problem with the wifi link established. It won't allow much or any traffic to go through. Pings barely work, surfing was hit and miss.
    I decided to just connect via cli, once again removed netcfg, wicd, removed any trace files, disabled related services and rebooted to remove previous entries.

    Interesting thing is I am getting a different deauthenticating reason, originally was 2. Deauthenticated reason=3 means "deauthenticated because sending STA is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS     The access point went offline, deauthenticating the client" or AP went offline, which it did not. (src: http://www.aboutcher.co.uk/2012/07/linu … on-codes/).
    Keep in mind I run my house on the same wifi so if anything went down somebody always tracks me down to fix it. Also my ISP link is not the problem as I was downloading at the same time and not saturating my pipe.  At this point I think it is just easier to run a cable under the house and mount a jack. Ideas?

  • A few questions on making animated buttons for a website Nav

    Hello, I have a few questions on creating some animated buttons for a nav.
    There are 2 actions I want to trigger on moue over.
    If I want to use a static (PNG) image that I created in Photoshop for the actual button, can I use that? I want to smoothly slide button down on mouse-over and slide back up on mouse off. If I push part of the button off the "canvas" (sorry, this is coming from a Photoshop guy) will it disappear in the final animation? Another way to put that is, if I put an animated element off the white area, will it no longer show up in the movie (.swf) when it's published?
    For the second part; you can see a bit of what I want to do if you look at this website's top Nav: http://www.photoshopsupport.com/index.html
    I need the "light" above the button and it's going to be on another colored <div> so I can't set one solid BG color for my flash document. But I want to achieve the effect of the "bar" lighting up above the button and the actual button sliding down upon moue over.
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Regarding this button problem mentionned by kglad, it is easily overcome with a little trick.
    I call this the undesired "jumpy button". Your button starts to hesitate down-back-down-back quickly, like it's a bug, and then it settles.
    What you could do is create a simple sprite or movieclip containing only a simple shape, whatever the color, put it on top of your button's graphic, change this sprite/movieclip's alpha to 0, then add your mouse events on this invisible "target" instead of your graphic. So, when you mouse over, you have the graphic move, not the invisible "target".
    Sometimes, for this invisible target, you will be using a movieclip, not a sprite, so you can easily add your own properties on it.
    Example:
    var graphicBtn:Sprite; // your png
    var targetBtn:MovieClip; // your invisible target, created with code or not
    targetBtn.graphics.beginFill(0x000000);
    targetBtn.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, graphicBtn.width, graphicBtn.height);
    targetBtn.alpha = 0;
    targetBtn.mygraphic = graphicBtn;
    targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
    targetBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onOut);
    addChild(graphicBtn);
    addChild(targetBtn);
    function onOver(event:MouseEvent):void
         TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:40, ease:Back.easeOut});
    function onOut(event:MouseEvent):void
         TweenLite.to(event.target.mygraphic, 0.25, {y:0, ease:Cubic.easeOut});
    So you see, you can have only one function (well, 1 for over, 1 for out) used for all your buttons. You can add as many properties you need on your movieclip to make that one-function flexible.
    Here I used GreenSock's tweening engine, but use the one you prefer (Here, I am moving the graphicBtn in y for 0.25 second).

  • Aperture - a few questions

    Hi there
    I've been doing lot of reading but struggling to find (or understand!) answers to a few questions.
    I have decided that the simplest way to do things is to import files straight from camera into aperture (although one forum member mentioned somewhere one shouldn't do this?).
    Then use the images as managed images, and back up via vault to an external hard drive.
    1)So if I do this will I still have 'managed' libraries, or will my libraries be 'referenced' (to the external hard disk). Because presumably then if that's the case I'll have to have the hard drive connected to work with the images
    2)If I back up to hard drive after editing, will those edits be saved on hard drive too, or will it just be 'master' images.
    3) I have been playing around trying to find the best way to do things - so currently I have photos stored in iphoto, aperture and on my internal drive (in a pictures folder) - this is obviously not ideal, is there any way I can easily get them all stored in aperture as I think most my aperture library is probably referenced? (I tried consoildate images and now it looks like half the images are still in the folder on theinternal disk drive and half aren't!)
    4) so is there some way of checking whether the images in Aperture are Masters or referenced?
    Sorry about all the questions, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Then use the images as managed images, and back up via vault to an external hard drive.
    It depends. If you use referenced master files, using a card reader and placing the new images/folder into storage location first would be better, but if you are letting Aperture manage your master files, it really does not make a difference at all.
    Personally, I only use referenced master file scheme so I use a card reader and files are moved/stored on external drive to be referenced.
    1)So if I do this will I still have 'managed' libraries, or will my libraries be 'referenced' (to the external hard disk). Because presumably then if that's the case I'll have to have the hard drive connected to work with the images
    If your question is about Vault, you will have managed masters in the Aperture Library and the Library content will be backed up to the Vault. They are two different entities - one original and other being compressed backup of the original library.
    2)If I back up to hard drive after editing, will those edits be saved on hard drive too, or will it just be 'master' images.
    Every action taken within Aperture will be backed up into the Vault. As I indicated earlier that I use referenced master files, but my edit steps are all kept in Aperture Library, along with previews, thumbnails and any data associated with the image. So I back up my Aperture Library to Vault, and I also backup my referenced master files independently, outside of Aperture.
    3) I have been playing around trying to find the best way to do things - so currently I have photos stored in iphoto, aperture and on my internal drive (in a pictures folder) - this is obviously not ideal, is there any way I can easily get them all stored in aperture as I think most my aperture library is probably referenced? (I tried consoildate images and now it looks like half the images are still in the folder on theinternal disk drive and half aren't!)
    If you reference all the existing images as you bring them into Aperture environment, then it really does not matter if you consolidate or not. Aperture will keep track of where the files are located, once you associate the file within Aperture (by selecting leave files in original location).
    If you like to have Aperture manage the files, then simply select managed master during import and you're done.
    4) so is there some way of checking whether the images in Aperture are Masters or referenced?
    You mean managed or referenced, I think. Master simply means the original image file (raw, jpeg or tif file). Yes I think this answer was already given in above post.
    Since I access the image directly without the use of Aperture, having managed master does not work for me nor for my setup. I use a MBP with limited storage but I do want to carry the entire library with me. The only way that can work is to have previews on, and Aperture Library on the notebook, while the actual image master files stays on external drive.
    There are tutorial videos on Aperture site (Apple) as well as video podcast on Aperture How-to Series in iTunes that will help you on this and other subjects.
    Cheers

  • Adopting LR3 - A Few Questions

    This one is long winded and I’m somewhat of a noob to the Adobe LR/PS world so I appreciate your patience with me...
    I’m in the process of switching from a PC to a 2010 Mac Mini (2.6Mhz / 4GB / 320GB HD) primarily for working with digital photographs. I’ve been using PSE8 for windows for a few months now, but have picked up LR3 for the Mac as well as PSE8. Since I’ve not migrated anything from the PC yet, I’m looking to see if someone can answer a few questions:
    I’ve got about 25,000 photos totaling about 105 GB.  If I migrate these directly to the Mac hard drive, it will just about fill up the HD  (my existing iTunes library is fairly large). How different is the performance working with LR3 / PSE8 when photos are on the HD versus an external, say FireWire drive?
    I believe the LR3 catalog is only storing meta data, so it should not be anywhere as large as my 105 GB photo folder, correct? So the result of having my photos and the LR3 catalog on my HD would not max out the HD, right?
    If I end up moving my photos to an external FireWire drive should the LR3 catalog be on that drive or on the HD?
    Again, I appreciate your input and patience with me.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    How different is the performance working with LR3 / PSE8 when photos are on the HD versus an external, say FireWire drive?
    Probably you'll see some marginal benefit if the photos are on a separate drive (assuming a high bandwidth connection), since you'll have less concurrent access (system/catalog/photos).
    I believe the LR3 catalog is only storing meta data, so it should not be anywhere as large as my 105 GB photo folder, correct?
    The catalog itself will take a couple of hundred of megabytes. But there's also the preview cache that is much larger. At about 1MB per photo, the whole cache will take some 25GB.
    If I end up moving my photos to an external FireWire drive should the LR3 catalog be on that drive or on the HD?
    As you like, but I guess it's better to keep it on the internal drive. For performance (though, Mini's laptop HDs have questionable performance, I guess) and accessibility: you'll be able to use the catalog with your external drives offline.

  • [DONE] Bash scripting. A few questions

    Hi,
    I've created my own custom sleep script as it is described here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … stem-sleep and it's already working correctly.
    However I've got a few questions concerning bash scripting since I've never did it before.
    Here the example from the wiki:
    #!/bin/sh
    case $1/$2 in
    pre/*)
    echo "Going to $2..."
    post/*)
    echo "Waking up from $2..."
    esac
    Now what do I need the /*) for in the cases pre and post? What does it do? And why isn't there any *) in the end which would exit the script if none of the above is true?
    Secondly, why does it say case $1/$2 in, but not case $1 in, what is the $2 needed for? E.g. in this script only $1 is used: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OS … ibernation
    And third question is, if I do really need the double quotes around $1? Does it make any difference?
    Sorry for my incompetence but I'm not a dev and as I already said I've never did any bash scripting...
    Thanks in advance
    best regards

    ok, here's my actual code:
    #!/bin/sh
    suspend_osssound()
    /usr/lib/oss/scripts/killprocs.sh
    /usr/sbin/soundoff
    resume_osssound()
    /usr/sbin/soundon
    case "$1" in
    pre)
    suspend_osssound
    post)
    resume_osssound
    *) exit $NA
    esac
    It is the same as the one in the OSS wiki entry, but slightly configured to work under logind and not pm-utils. Of course the new location is /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep/.
    I'm about to update the wiki with my code, so I'd like to know if there aren't any major mistakes. I tested it and it works but I want to get sure
    PS: Do people actually still use pm-utils for suspending or can I safely remove the previous script from the wiki?
    EDIT: Added double quotes

  • A few questions before I buy the 13" air.

    I need to buy a laptop within the next week so I have a few questions about the air.
    Does the 13inch i5 version support hyperthreading to 4 cores and turbo boost?
    Is the difference in performance between the i5 and i7 worth it?
    Would the air be good enough to use word/PowerPoint with a lot of tabs open in chrome with no lag? (School laptop)
    Am I better off getting a 13inch BBP? Or is the air the same performance wise? (I don't need the DVD drive or ethernet)

    All the intel chips have the turbo boost. No MacBook Airs have quad core chips. They are only duo core. You need the pro book for the quad cores. As a school laptop the air is great because of the SSD. It opens quickly after moving while studying here and there. You can buy a pro book then eventually put a SSD in it if that is what you are looking for. But because apple makes all of their parts and software, you do not need as big of a cpu as you would need on a PC.

  • Considering ipod touch over ipod classic, a few questions

    Hello, I was hoping some of the current users of the iPod touch 2nd generation cna answer a few questions for me concerning the ipod touch, particularly those with an ipod classic as well.
    I have had a 160 GB iPod classic for about a year. I had to take it back to be replaced twice because of harddrive failures. After I got the last new one I was fed up and decided to sell it on ebay. I have heard there were issues with the 80 and 160 GBs and the 120 is much better. There is a software upgrade that includes using the genious feature on your ipod for the 120's that was never available for the 160's. And since they discontinued the 160's, I'm assuming there was definately something wrong with that and Apple is too proud to admit to it, so they just roll with the 120's. So with that in mind I figured I'd sell my current 160 since the worst I could do is get the better model of the classic?
    So then I started thinking, what about an iPod touch? Here are my concerns with goign with a touch over a classic...
    The WiFi would be a huge benefit. I travel a lot and often don't feel like bringing my laptop with me. So when browsing the internet, I was wondering how it worked with Hotmail? With facebook? I know youtube works, but how does it work with other sites that are heavy with Adobe FlashPlayer, like Hulu.com? Or watch news clips from CNN or other things like that.
    I use my ipod a lot in my car, and I don't think the touch screen would be very good for this to switch songs, anybody have any experience with this?
    The flash drive is very appealing to me since I had 2 classics harddrive fail, but the small size is a concern, anybody have any opinions?
    Can the touch be used in disk mode? Does it store full resolution files of photos?
    I'm not big into games, but if I had a touch I know I would start.
    Will I just get spoiled and wish it was an iPhone or something with 3G connection to the net?
    Thanks for any help!

    The 160GB Classic was essentially the 1st Generation Classic, it was replaced by the 2nd Generation 120GB Classic, which as you have pointed out has the Genius feature etc. With the exception of the most recent Shuffle, Apple always discontinues production of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with Apple admitting to anything. I too had to go through 2 160s before the 3rd one worked correctly, it happens. Did the Classic you sold on eBay work correctly.
    Thanks to changes by Microsoft you can now use the mail app on the Touch with a hotmail account.
    There is a Facebook app in the iTunes App Store, I don't use it so I can't vouch for it but you can go to the Apps Store and read the reviews.
    There is no Flash plugin available for the Touch and it is probably going to be 2010 before one is available so no you won't be able to use Hulu.com, etc.
    It will be harder to switch songs on the Touch in your car unless you install an iPod connection kit (if your radio supports it, the will allow you to control the Touch from your radio/steering wheel/whatever.
    If you have a large iTunes library and want it always with you then you need to lean towards the Classic. If you can live with swapping things around you can go with the Touch. A big advantage to the Touch is the plethora of applications that are available on the iTunes Store, many of them free.
    You cannot currently use the Touch in disk mode (don't know if version 3.0, coming this summer will add this) and it does not store full resolution files of photos.
    I had a first generation Touch which I purchased on the same day that I bought my 160GB Classic. I sold the Touch and moved to the iPhone, you get spoiled with 3G access.
