Yeah. I don't know what the fuss is. There's plenty of websites where you just paste the youtube link and then just save the resulting file.

IPX/SPX rocks. I wrote loads of software for netware back in the day. Anybody remember trumpet winsock?!

There's only one search engine worth being on...google. And your rank on google is based on a number of factors (some are secret), but the major thing that'll push you up is having other sites link to you. But that's not the end of it, google ranks the sites that link to you, so more links...

Yeah. My old powerbook keeps thundering along....

Crikey. :eek: I've not seen a kernel panic since puma...and I caused that myself while writing a kernel driver.

windows w**k firewall? Try disabling that on both machines. Try pinging from both directions as well.

You'll have to give more information than that! * Is the laptop connected? * Is the router giving DHCP allocated IP's. * Is the laptop on the same subnet as the main pc.

Yep. Done that, worked fine. What's your point?

Like the one of the grill.

Not actually looking to buy one, if I was it'd be an Apple laptop anyway! They had their display stand in the fruit and veg and the 2MB caught my eye!

You would think so wouldn't you. I noticed it as we were going up the escalator, couldn't resist taking a photo when I back down the bottom. While I was taking the pic there was a bloke there telling his wife what a great laptop it was! I'd love 2MB of RAM on some of the stuff I work on...

I pissed myself when I saw it. My girlfriend failed to see the funny side!

Zero chance! My point was more to do with SSL/TLS. Just because you see a padlock on your web browser, you shouldn't assume that you have a nice secure connection, you should always verify the certificate yourself.

Sorry for the crap phone picture!

Sorry, no idea. I can't find any specific details on what newsbin does with it's handling of SSL. Things that would be interesting to know about it: * what it does when the certificate is not signed by a trusted root ca * what key exchange & encryption options it offers to the server...

The man turtle looks like he's enjoying it more than the lady one!

I wouldn't count on thinking that SSL/TLS ensures your security, you should always check the certificate of the site that you are connected to. TLS/SSL is susceptable to a number of different "man in the middle" style attacks. If you pretend to be the server to the client and the client to...

Only if you wear your moderating suit....

It's late. Haven't you got a headboard that needs your attention?! ;) :rasp:

Indeed. This thread is actually useless without pics!

And just for the record, you don't get the mac owners on here posting in the windows/"pc" threads, spouting crap that they've heard from their mate dave who's an uber-geek. Windows is crap, but I don't feel the need to belittle people when they ask for advice about it.

Couldn't have put it better. :) My Powerbook G4 (nearly 3 years old) has clocked up a stupid amount of miles too, it's a seasoned traveller. Not only that, but it's quite happily survived the challenges of all challenges....being dragged around the house by a 7 year old. It's amusing...

Ignore the windows owners who have nothing better to say than what what they've heard by chinese whispers from other mac haters who've never actually been near one.... Safari is an awesome browser. Office 2k8 has just come out for mac, I've got it but haven't got around to installing it yet...

Give me your vaio and I'll drop it, we'll see how durable it is and what sony have to say about it.

I bet they were all creaming themselves over your purchase of a vaio. pmsl, please tell me you're here all week?

Nice pics and nice places people! Some amazing places. Remembered the place on fraser where I took my pic, it was mckenzies jetty. If you're ever on fraser island it's worth getting there because it's pretty spectacular and I don't think the island "buses" go (or can) get there.

Any retail OS X disc will do. Copies of OS X that come bundled with the machines are specific to that model, so you'd need a disc from that model if you haven't got access to a retail disc.

Apple logo means that it's booting. Probably dead hard drive or something like that. Try booting from an OS X cd/dvd (and hold down 'C' when turing on) and then use disk utility to check the drive.

White balance! Take a photo of a piece of something very white and set it from that....

Anything's an upgrade compared to that hell hole!
