Yeah, I have looked through macvspc quite a few times. What I want to find are some more hard facts. I want to be able to give the head of IT (and the overseers of IT spending) a paper list of all 50,000 M$ viri, all XXX serious flaws, all XXX worms. Then I want to do the same for Mac OS...

Oh God, I love this line by Tom Clancy: "Never ask a man what computer he uses. If it's a Mac, he'll tell you. If it's not, why embarrass him?" I think I just found a new sig!

I am looking for some (specific) ammunition to use in the fight to bring Apple back to the University that I work for. What I am looking for is a site (or multiple sites) that list the names (or some identifier) for every viri/worm/hole that has hit windoze (all OS's), unix (any including...

sorry about that. I ment to write sudo. Thats what I get for spending 50% of my day working with Solaris instead of OS X:(

did you 'su' into pico? su pico httpd.conf looks like you do not have write privs.

Since I am forced to have a windoze pc to do some of my work, I decided to patch M$'s latest flaws. It only took 16!!!! friggin hours to download the 3 patchs and install them. HA!!!!! And we expect our technopeasants to perform this update?!? Last week was quite funny. The University...

FYI: you will need to use some muscle to make sure that the RAM is seated. I've got best results by pushing down on one end with ever increasing pressure until the tab snaps into the little indention on the edge of the RAM. Then do the same on the other side. Its real easy. Oh yeah...

Paul - you might want to test the machine with the "bad" RAM in it for a while (under load if possible). I tried putting the "bad" RAM back into the comp. after I installed 10.2 and got random crazyness and enough lockups to make me mad. Ever since I removed the "bad" RAM the comp has been...

I also had the same problem. There was no root user account. I was able to use sudo just fine for months, then after one of the apple updates I lost the ability to sudo. No user on my computer was able to use sudo for anything. su worked, but sudo was unusable. I finally had to 'safe...

I was trying to install 10.2 on a B&W G3 400 at work. Everytime that I tried to install, the install would hang at the end, just as the text would say "under one minute". Really annoying. I tried installing about 8 times and it would hang every time. At first, I thought it was because the...

Thanks SkyNite! That did the trick.

That only takes care of part of the problem. If I change all of the pdf to open with Preview, then I still have the following issue: If I ftp (using a graphical ftp tool) a folder of 50 pdf's to my computer, Preview (or acrobat) will open each and every one of those darn pdf's. I'm trying...

Does anyone know how to stop Acrobat from auto launching when you download a .pdf file? I am ftping .pdf files (using fetch) quite a bit and am getting sick of acrobat launching when I ftp a bunch of pdf's onto my desktop. David

If you are thinking about putting the database on the web (with more than a few people connecting to the db) then you will need to stay away from access for filemaker. Both slow down considerabley with each person connected to then (via the web or network). I have worked with filemaker quite a...

donsullivan, that is not what 3n3my01 is looking for. I am in a similar situation. I have 2 17" Apple LCD displays. I have the Geforce4 mx graphics card that has a vga and DVI adapter on it. I am looking for a DVI - VGA adapter or DVI - ADC - VGA adapter so that I can have dual displays...

I ran 10.1.3 on a B&W G3 350 (704mb ram) without issues. I upgraded the processor to a powerlogix g4 450 and saw a small improvement in speed (I use photoshop and bbedit mostly). It is now running 10.1.5 just fine. Its not as fast as my QS DP 1GHZ, but it is still very usable and will be...

Thanks Vard, but that is the opposite of what I am looking for. I need a way to plug an ADC monitor into my VGA port (the ADC port is taken up by one of the LCD's). The link you posted is for: "The ADC to VGA Adaptor connects a VGA analog monitor to an ADC connector on a G4 computer"...

I'm a multi-switcher. I started on my stepfathers Apple II around 1980. He (therefore I) switched from the Apple II to a Packard-Bell pentium 60 around 93. Bought a Compaq p120 around 96. Bought a Dell p450 in 99 (couldn't afford the extra $900 for an Apple). Ran 98se and RH 7...

I have a DP 1.0ghz Quicksilver with the GeForce4mx video card. It has an ADC and a VGA connector on it. Here is the problem. I have 2 Apple 17" LCD StudioDisplays (ADC connectors). I would like to have dual displays on this machine, but I am unable to find a way to do it. I have searched...

see my sig. I own the B&W and the Dell. The others are work machines. My first mac was an Apple ][. You know, it still works.
