Glad there's at least some entertainment value for you. I'm smart enough to know I'm way out of my element here

 

mAX2K1...

i'm there with ya... Imostly have mac ( seven ) in my home to be exact but do have 2 linux installs...

This my hobby on the side...Computers....

By the way does anyone here have a job I post something and see 3 replies within 5 minutes. Shane...You must sit at your compputer all day!!!!

 

That sounds exactly like me in the Politics section here.

 

LOL, I work from home the majority of the time so it is quite easy to visit the forum regularly. Ironically enough, I get more work done at home and visiting the forum than I do in the office and not visiting the forum. Too many distractions in the office.

 

I have asked this question in the past. My excuse.........I'm retired I can do whatever I want (as long as my wife says it's okay )

Heh heh

I take the fifth on that question, your honor

 

LOL!! Same here. I've been working from home the past 3 days...finally came in the office today and I can't say I've gotten much done. I'm just counting down the hours till this day ends and I can finally go and test drive the new G35...lol.

 

Too bad. I have a pretty big collection of mp3 and it would be a pain to get every CD into the car to re-rip them. Also some of my mp3s are not on CD anymore and would need to be burned to a cd first.

I doubt that you could update the hard drive directly. I have a phatbox in my A4, it is basically a harddrive that takes the place of the cd changer. To update it you take out the cartridge and put it into a usb cradle with the computer. The Os is linux and the filesystems are FAT32... but.... There is the whole database of song names, artists and genres that needs to be updated byu the software, you can't just drag and drop an mp3 file and hope it will play.

I understand the copy protection if infiniti was in the audio media business but as far as I know they are not and why make like harder for their customers then?

 

You guys crack me up. I get more work done at my office than at home, I can't seem to motivate myself when there is a nice leather couch and bed in the other room and also a TV LOL! Although I do spend a lot of time on the forum while i'm at work myself, especially when i'm at my store waiting for customers

 

does anyone know where the harddrive locate? is it easy accessible?

 

Probably to avoid being in the litigation business, or in the litigation business any more than cаr companies already are. The music industry prefers to pick on individuals or small companies, but might go after an аuto company if they thought they could make their point that way. While I'm far from an expert on the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), something in it might have spooked Nissаn about allowing owners to load the HD from secondary sources.

 

Me thinks the RIAA is behind this.

 

Being on my own table at home in my sweats & t-shirt (forget business casual) w/ a comfy chair and my television (not to mention my dual-screen setup) makes it so much more conducive to getting work done. Not to mention the on-demand food in my kitchen...haha. Plus saving the commute time of 1 hour each way means more productivity.

Just to show how much I'm wasting time, I just went downstairs in the office to the barbershop in our building and got myself a haircut...the guy there is cool and I even had a beer while he was snipping away...lolz. 30 more mins and I'm outta here!

 

There is a hack for everything. Wait till these cars have been out for a while and the audio junkies get their hands on these drives. No doubt about it, they are either formatted in FAT32 or NTFS. Im willing to think its a FAT32 file system since these HD's are only configured to run basic tasks such music files, although the NTFS is alot more stable. BTW, these drives HAVE to be IDE, these drives are way too small (9.3GB) to be SATA.

 

The drive itself is not 9.3GB, it is actually a 30GB drive. 20GB is reserved for the hard drive based Navi. There are 30GB SATA drives out there so it is possible. I still think it is IDE myself.
