Well, I'm running the latest Safari and gave this a test:

Looks like Squid won't allow this malformed request through. Hurray for open source software!
So what you're actually saying is that if you run Microsoft software, you need an antivirus program. I completely agree.
I don't run Microsoft software on my PCs (except W2k itself, which is religiously patched and behind a Linux firewall) or Macs, and I've never been infected.
WMP for OS X sucks, pure and simple. On a 1.25Ghz CPU with 1Gb of RAM running a fresh install of Panther, WMP 9 started struggling on a local file after 20-30 seconds, stuttering and skipping frames. Use VLC and hope that they integrate all the annoying Microsoft proprietary codecs soon.
Interestingly, RealPlayer isn't bad at all on the Mac. I held off on installing it for quite a while after seeing all the baggage that came with a Windows install, but it's pretty clean and seems to stream video well.
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. I had a 512Mb DIMM sitting on my desk when I arrived at work this morning so I have a good reason for shutting it down now..:)
Hmm. Once I've applied the patch Software Update still lists it as an available patch the next time I check for updates. I wonder what I managed to break when I installed Fink..?
Well, the Amiga had a 32-bit processor, but a 24-bit address path, so perhaps it doesn't count as a 'true' 32-bit processor, at least, not until the Amiga 3000.
No, the Mac systems have 128Mb of GRAPHIC RAM. Read the chart again, and then read the note below the chart:
All machines were tested with 1GB of RAM and the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card; the Mac version of the graphics card has a maximum of 128MB of RAM, while the high end for PCs is 256MB. Most of the PCs used dual, RAID-striped hard drives; the Apple systems did not. We retested the Alienware Aurora with the 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro card and without RAID for more-direct comparison with the G5 systems. Tests on PCs performed by the PC World Test Center; tests on Apple systems performed by the Macworld Test Center.
You'll only see the commentators if you're running your player in 4:3 letterbox mode (ie, you don't have a widescreen TV or a 4:3 TV with a 16:9 mode).
The MST3K commetators are a nice gimmick, but they don't really move that much. They're interesting in an, 'Oh, I didn't realise the DVD format allowed that kind of thing' way.
Sod economy, I don't want to be polluting the planet with hundreds or thousands of non-degradable discs containing old Linux distros or rips of films I've since bought the original for.
I figure, we have the money to afford PCs and burners, surely we can stretch to buying CD-RWs and reusing them...
Just compare the experience using the G4 laptop to the Dell though. Much lighter, quieter, cooler (you can actually rest it on your lap!), thinner, and man, does it attract the women...
You'd think that a 'network administrator' would be fully aware that every version of Windows has had horrible exploits and vulnerabilities./bullwinkle mode on
Shouldn't be a problem - you can't do this trick using the fan headers on the motherboard - they don't supply +5V. You have to use the molex connectors intended for HDs, and I haven't had any trouble. Generally a fan will start making noise as the bearings go out, and you'll swap it for a quieter one before it can do any damage. If you can't hear the fan giving out, you shouldn't have needed to run it at 7V in the first place..:)

Huh? You do know what Samba does, right?

This link should hopefully help you. I have the same problem with the mail server at my office.

You evidentally saw a different Matrix 2 than I did.
I just got my boss to OK my 15" Powerbook. Should be arriving this week - you have permission to hate me now. :)
That means Hitt didn't get sent out by the NY Times, he wrote the article independently then solicited it to the various papers.
Sweet, and all you have to worry about is cancer! You'll be the most successful dead guy on your block!
Try Toshiba and Time Warner, for a start.
And the funniest thing is hearing David Prowse's original 'acting'. It's ball-tearingly funny. I'm amazed that he thought it would remain in the film.
Hmmm, seems that you've missed the fact that Apple have offered gigabit ethernet on their 15" and 17" TiBooks for some time now.
GeForce 2MX card + warped Blue Orb heatsink + EverQuest left on in trader mode overnight = one very, very burnt core. /mourn /cry

Honestly, there's only one thing keeping a Windows partition on my home PC... Everquest.
I'm so ashamed.
