OK, so Apple finally patched the ssh vulnerability (1 month after the release). Ideas on how long until we see the patch for zlib? They really need to get on the ball with security updates, as every major BSD and Linux distribution had patches for these within a week.

Funny, they don't mention that it wasn't optimized for ANY SIMD implementation (Altivec or SSE2) either. Even if it had been optimized AltiVec would probably have still lost. WHY? Because SPECfp uses double precision floating point numbers (which is required for many areas of scientific...

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but it is worth a try. Download Outlook 2001 for Mac from MS (http://www.microsoft.com/mac), and open up your PST file in that. Try to export the contacts using Outlook and see if that works. Otherwise, you will have to go back to a computer with...

Tormente, I don't know who you are trying to delude, but Macs DO NOT have better video QUALITY. They may be able to deal with mpeg2 data faster than a PC, but that doesn't mean the quality is any better. The graphics card/monitor combination is what affects quality, and every video card in...

Since that didn't work, just run ssh-keygen instead, but don't give it a password. Thank should let it work.

On the machine you will be sending files TO: mkdir .ssh chmod 755 .ssh On the machine you will be sending files FROM: ssh-keygen -n'' scp .ssh/identity.pub remote_ip:.ssh/authorized_keys (that was 2 single-quotes in a row on the first line) Be very careful about access to the...

Try putting the following around the ncurses include files: extern "C" { #include <somefile.h> };

joecrow, The symbol errors are generated by the linker, not the compiler. The compiler had to translate the names into unique names (the linker doesn't actually undestand the idea of overloaded functions). This is usually caused by 1 of 2 things. Either a) you are not linking in the...

testuser: One of these days I'll have to get a hold of a few macs to check out if the alias works in that case. :) Curiousity will eventually kill me, I'm sure. WRT the encrypted file system, W2k/XP does a pretty decent job with this. To do it, a user has a certificate in their local...

OK, then maybe I don't understand aliases that well. Please tell me what would happen in the following situation (I can't test this as I don't have 3 macs to do it). Mac1 mounts volume1 and volume2 (different physical volumes) from Mac3 and creates an alias on the desktop to a file on...

Just to clear up a few misconceptions you have about UFS. The equivalent to a file alias on UFS is not a symbolic link, but a hard link (directory aliases must use sym-links). Instead of doing 'ln -s src alias', you would do 'ln src alias'. This uses the actual inode on disk to reference...

OK, so I received my new dual G4-800 today with 10.1 installed. I go to Apple's site, and iDVD 2 has released. So, how do I go about downloading it? They can't possibly expect me to buy it seperately. If they do (since it is included with the same system I just received now) I will just...
