Yesterday I received my new headphones I ordered since my old once didn’t have a microphone.

After searching around on some gamer forums I finally found some headphones that where cheap and sounded good. The model I choose was Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Alpha.
And yes they are Mac compatible :D

Since I am on holiday this weekend I haven’t had time to fully test them yet. But first thought is they where comfortable and had a good bass.

All in all I’m happy with them so fare.

I also ordered 12GB ram since I already had payed for shipping. It’s a nice upgrade from the 4Gb I had before.

I had this problem the last couple of months and stumble over this solution over at Serverfault.com

Change the ‘ Preferred Domain Server’ option in Directory Utility to an IP address, and the Mac will NOT do a .local lookup for the domain login. (Which is the problem when not on the LAN).

——
I tested the solution by connecting to a wireless access point that was not connected to our LAN, and login was a 2 or 3 seconds. Before doing this it took 2 mins exactly every time.

Try the following steps, I think its essential to re-bind.

1) Unbind from Active Directory
2) Change Preferred Domain Server to your Domain Controller IP address
3) Rebind to Active directory
