lol. You've saved me the hassle of pointing out how wrong the information in that post is!

If the "secure" site uses TLS (which it almost certainly will be) and the certificate is valid (and authenticated by yourself) then there is no issue, it's secure, they cannot eavesdrop. I've often thought about this, how many people would use an open connection for checking/sending email on...

Nah, It's waaaaaaaay too pretty for microsoft written code. Some of worst code I've ever seen has come out of redmond.

Everytime you use ASP, god kills a kitten. fact. It's bad, wrong and dirty. It'll make you short sighted and give you hairy palms. So in short, ASP is bad. Don't use it. PHP r0x0rz.

Messenger for Mac is utter crap, do yourself a massive favour and install Adium.

Please. Please. Please, for the love of god, do not stream music into somebodies browser. It's about the most invasive and annoying thing that you can do "design wise". Any site that I visit that starts playing music to me will be closed immediately!

Sounds like a drive corruption.

Different model of drive in his to all the other ones in the office?

I know. I just thought it was an amusing early morning rant. Google is my first stop when I need a question answered!

lol. Did somebody get out of the wrong side of bed this morning?! :clown:

It must be worrying for MS is that XP is still far better than Vista and will be for the duration of Vistas life! I bet Windows 7 can't come quick enough for them!

No. Encryption only gives traffic shapers a hard time, it doesn't prevent the music or film industry finding you in a torrent.

Seconded. Lovely pic. There's a windfarm I pass on the way home from work, it looks stunning in the evening with the sun setting behind. I keep meaning to take the camera and take some pics. But it's not really a bit of road that is good for stopping on.

No comment. * You have to ensure that the computer is on the same IP range as the router and then ping the IP address of the router.... 1) If you're router is running a DHCP server and you're configured to use DHCP, then it should be working anyway. (although in you're above situation it...

You tried a different cable? Edit: You'll always be able to ping localhost as it is the loopback ip address. (unless somebody has removed the localhost host entry or changed its IP).

Post Number 1.

Trivia: The bloke who wrote windowblinds was in my department (computer science) at university, in the year below though. Windowblinds used to be hosted on the university student webserver. He was a proper geek. Probably a very rich one now though.

Yes. Just double click on it.

what format? The standard "disk mounter" mounts standard disk images.

Ahh..Sorry. In that file sharing place you'll need to click options and then select "share files on smb" as well. By default the file sharing only shares via ftp, because quite frankly, smb (windows file sharing) is shite. Then it should appear as a network share on windows.

System Preferences/Sharing. Turn on "File Sharing" Job done. Chicken of the VNC. (mac vnc client for remote viewing) System Preferences/Sharing. Turn on remote management (turns on vnc server) Use any windows VNC client to view from a windows machine.

nothing.

Phone them up and tell them you have a Sky+ box and they'll pair your existing card and box together.

Maybe it'd be a better idea for people to post what they think good challenges would be and then let everybody vote on what the challenge should be - the previous winner then gets to select the 10 entries that they like the most and then a poll could be opened (a week?) and people get to vote on...

How appropriate. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7303288.stm

He was probably too busy trying to "kill" the system idle process to notice any real difference though.... ;)

The channel I watch on sky the most is "Sky One". That isn't available on virgin....

Running 10.5 on a G4 powerbook (1.5Ghz) without any issues here.

Well. 1) There will be no codecs as OS 9 is obsolete. 2) He'll be running the mac internet explorer from 1999! Enough said, browser best part of 10 years old. 3) Internet explorer is about as good as it gets on OS 9.

And answered it in Post 2! That depends on what spec the G4 is. Leopard won't run on anything less than 800Mhz. Anything under 1Ghz stick to Tiger.
