Very interesting - there's nothing in Software Update for me, and I still get the error in both Camino and Safari... Capt. Code, I see you're using a PPC machine. Cybergoober, do you use an Intel or PPC machine? I wonder if there might be some certs missing from Intel updates that made it...

Tiger 10.4.7, Camino 1.0.1 (I really should upgrade, I know), Flash 8.0.27

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Apparently, Verisign has switched to new certificate scheme, as of a few months ago. Verisign's explanation is here: http://www.verisign.com/support/advisories/page_029264.html (yes, it's available as an https page as well, and if you go to that...

Is the government spying on you? Yes - Echelon was mentioned, plus all the various laws the US Feds are passing to make it easier to snoop on more and more of their citizens' activity, to make it illegal for companies to tell you about this activity, etc. Does Digital Fortress make sense? I...

if you add a -v flag, it curl should give you extra information, maybe that will give a hint what's going wrong...

Way back when, I tried Solaris 10 in VMWare (under Linux, as it happened), and it was flaky as a cereal aisle. Directly on the hardware, it was perfectly happy, but it couldn't get along with multiple-booting, so I couldn't really run it that way either...

I have done sound effects for a couple of shows, including a bit of recording, using Audacity, and it's quite handy. Unfortunately, for me in any case, it doesn't work very well at all on my Intel iMac. Works great on any PPC Mac I've used it on (G3 iMac and PowerMac, G4 PowerBook), but it's...

You don't need to enter single user mode to get a console without the finder. Just enter as your user name (without the quotes) ">console" and no password. You'll be put at a plain old TTY login prompt. This time, log in with your username and password, move the files around wherever you want...

There's also the option of using bootpd, which is included in OS X. Did you find a deficiency in bootpd where ISC's dhcpd was better? If not, would a howto on setting up dhcp services with bootpd be helpful?

The OS has the ability to audit user actions, but it's not enabled by default - in fact, you have to download some extra software from Apple & enable auditing. So, what you did yesterday is lost in the sands of time... One thing you might do though is try in terminal: find ~ -ctime 1 which...

If you take out the additional ram, does it still boot? If not, then the onboard ram is obviously not usable at all. Probably there's a bad connection on the motherboard somewhere, and only the additional ram is reachable. This happened in my wife's G3 iMac - only one ram slot works of the...

Graffiti by Banksy (a British artist) on the Israeli "security wall" (You can see lots more in this google image search: http://images.google.com/images?q=israel%20wall%20graffiti&sa=N&tab=wi )

In fact, you own the software. The "you just own some worthless license" language on the box is meaningless trash to scare you. Once you own the software, you can do what you need to under fair use to take advantage of your own property (modulo the constitution-busting DMCA, if you live in the...

Ah, the firewall on the server, not the client. Yes, you'll need some additional holes in the firewall.

It probably is built using a makefile, compiled from the command line. That's the typical way for Unix projects.

Can you ask the network administrator what behaviour he's observed, that leads him to conclude that 'surfsidekick' is on your computer. More than likely it's something totally harmless, but it would be good to know, in any case...

Are you talking Microsoft Internet Explorer? If so, I'm surprised you can even find it - MSFT dropped all support and development for IE on Mac years ago. Given the rate at which security vulnerabilities are found in IE, and the fact that IE for OS X will have a couple of years' backlog of...

Well, only if your switch supports 100K/s, full duplex, should you choose those settings... My ethernet is set to autonegotiate, and it settles on 100 full on its own, so that would make no difference.

Unfortunately the Mac laptop keyboards don't have a delete key. The key marked "delete" is the one everyone else in the world calls "backspace". Yes, it's annoying.

I do use the f-keys, just never when I mean to. f11 and f12 are so conveniently close to the delete key!
