  • WOW, THT! I don't think I've seen you get this charged up over anything for a loooong time (if ever). I always learn something new whenever you step into the fray, though.
  • THT, you ignorant slut!!! Clearly you are an ARM core h8torz! It ownz all your stages! (I just felt the topic could not be complete if no one even tried to bust up chops with THT) Neat rundown on all the favorite CPU's of our time, though!

  • No doubt! That is why I run Safari with plug-ins disabled (to cut the Flash crap) and show pictures disabled (usually). However, that is what threw me off with this Tom site. It would load-up Safari, even w/o plug-ins and/or animated gif's. I'…
  • I thank you for the referral. It seems to come to pass that I would need a utility like this eventually. I just wonder if I am doing something wrong which causes me to have these issues in the first place.

  • Actually, I've experienced this once. By all intents and means, the wifi was complements of the house, but I was queried for a password when attempting to connect with my iBook. Can't very well chew out the owner for discriminating against Macs. …
  • Have you tried booting from the installer CD? Maybe you can fix some permissions or other stuff while in that mode?
  • Isn't all this DRM-related issues? It's not that it cannot use the codecs. It's that it doesn't have the means to support anything that needs to be unlocked using WMP DRM, no?
  • Is it possible that some of the stuff you are trying to view is DRM'd? If so, it may never be possible for us to play them on a Mac if MS cannot ensure the protection locks will stay intact in some forthcoming WMP player. It would be a liability f…
  • This may be a dumb question, but did you check to see if your PC is set for automatic IP addressing, or did someone put in a static IP?

  • Yes, I would say an access to VM on a failing disk could become pretty catastrophic (kernel panic level). Wouldn't it appear to the kernel as essentially a memory access failure? I guess you cannot really determine if there is a real hardware prob…
  • I completely agree with you that "leaking" or unaccounted for CPU% is something that should be kept in check by Apple developers. It may seem a small issue to most who are running Ghz-worth of CPU and are on a static workstation tied to a permanent…
  • Actually, I find these average specs projections a little scary coming from MS. It doesn't matter if hardware will scale to that point by that time or not. You don't run an OS just for the sake of running an OS. You run it to run your application…

  • Ok, I was just thinking that since it was 3 filesharing type of programs, in specific, that were affected above, it must have had something to do with the security operation of communication ports of some sort.
  • So was there a central issue associated with all of this? Was it something they had to patch in the firewall software?
  • Once you connect successfully the first time, the identity will be stored. So it won't matter if they can "see a server" to connect to next time. It will know to connect by the name that was cached.
