  • Come Jan/Feb we will probably see a bump to 1.6Ghz which will keep the Mac in line with the top P4 to be released. After this the PowerMac G4 will probably cease to be and the next gen Powermac X1 (or whatever new name they think of) will be release…
  • When the Itanium was first released some of our engineers here at Sun said it was a joke. Since Itanium 2 came out they said it is going to be even harder for us (Sun) to sell boxes. One of the engineers said that Sun were looking into developing …
  • Citrix does not currently have a version for OS10
  • The first account that is created does have admin privs. If you created a second account with admin privs and deleted the first all should be okay. The root account is still there (DONT delete this). Your probably can't see it unless you go into n…

  • I ssume this is all on OS X. You can always chown from the Command line. typing in man chown from the command line should explain the command more. Basically login to you machine under your normal user. Open a terminal window. type in pwd to s…
  • Thanks all I ordered my 933Mhz G4 from the Applestore last night.
  • I have my own excel calculation to price options, what else is there?
  • Viruses will be rare. Its the vulnerabilities that will matter more. Most of these are irrelevant won't affect the home user as all services are disabled by default.
  • All ports were disabled on OSX by default. Check the /etc/inetd.conf file to seen what ports have been uncommented. I normally have to enable ftp, telnet and ntp by hand. If you are talking about other ports then ignore this mail.
  • I don't think you can turn a zombie back to a child process. For whatever reason the child process lost its parent and turned into a zombie. A kill -9 should get rid of it though.
  • Norton should get any viruses that affect X apps (probably MS releated ones). [ 04-28-2002: Message edited by: alfredh ]
  • My friends cat was neutered too late and it would have the annoying habit on peeing on electical appliances. His Stereo and PC has a big plastic bag covering it. It even jumped through the open window of my old car and wet my stereo.
  • If the cases are welded shut, how do they know a G5 is inside? Did it have one of those big emblems on as did the Blue G3 series had? [ 01-15-2003: Message edited by: alfredh ]

  • Its now 9.00am in Frankfurt and the Apple store is still open. I suppose I need to wait for a few hours before kicking myself for believing our Apple contact. How about I get him to meet in a chat room so we can all ask where the new machines (lapto…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Nitride: I think Nostradomus has a better track record than some sales guy in a random Mac store does. [ 09-15-2002: Message edited by: Nitride ] Yeah! What a jerk the sales guy is. I mean, he was no where near va…

  • Just because everyone has heard of X86(intel) doesn't mean its automatically good. It's like saying that McD's is the best hamburger and that nothing could be better than VHS just because everyone uses it. I also saw that article about Apple havin…
