I've been trying to lock down my machine and cutting off any ports I'm not using. I've been using Brickhouse to seal off anything I'm not using. I don't know if it's actually working or not. I do a port scan (from the Network Utility) and it says I have port 80 and 49367 open. I know that...

Has anybody noticed this? When I step away from my computer and my monitor shuts off, it appears that my connection to the network gets cut. I'd have a telnet session open in the Terminal and upon waking up, I have to log back in. I also notice that any AFP volume I have mounted is gone.

We have XP. Not the final but somewhere in beta land. My company pays the thousands of dollars to be on the Microsoft Developer Network so we can make apps that are ready by the time it comes out. Never mind that we only ever use Win2k and IIS. Well I didn't say he was smart. This same...

A friend of mine installed it on his computer. He said it was slow as hell and he's going back to Window ME. XP does have some nice features to it. The multi-user stuff is pretty blown out compared to OSX but for the most part, it seems like just another facelift.

if both Apple and Microsoft both buy it from Photodisc. That doesn't excuse everything XP that is a direct rip from OSX though.

Thanks. I'm just being difficult. I'll get used to all this eventually.:)

I don't mean to just do away with the UI altogether. I just want something leaner. Maybe I'm asking for too much. I used to have linux running on my old Motorola Starmax (remember those awful things?) I do use the terminal, in fact, I've been using Pine to check my email since...

I don't know...to me things zoom and scaling and morphing isn't needed. I just wish I had a choice.

I don't think it's really slow anymore. Like I said above, I can actually run director (and photoshop) and it's not annoying to me anymore. The app launches and system responsiveness has improved to a point that I can get work done and not feel held back by the OS. I'm just the type that...

I did when it first came out and I killed what I could with it. What I want to kill all of that stuff. Like the top menu fading in and out when you select them. Or the window morphing that happens when you're in the System Preferences and switch between each preferences. It would be nice if...

I've noticed that the finder is a hair faster but for me Classic is much faster. I opened up one of my director projects and it doesn't seem to be running slower than it was in 9. I bought OSX the day it came out and updated whenever any updates were available. I finally feel that OSX is...

I agree. I've been searching throught the resource files, but I've had no luck. It would also be nice to kill the drop shadows on everything. Calculating all those alpha transparency masks can't be easy on my processor.

I hope you don't want people to have access to these hd's via appletalk. check it- http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=2463

Yes, I've noticed the that it's really just Appletalk that doesn't want to play. Everyone else here is os9 and will be for a while. I guess until Apple makes normal aliases work like they used to or make appletalk follow symbolic links correctly I'm out of luck.

Has anyone played with sharing whole drives with osx. I have three partitions on my machine: one for os9 and it's apps, one for osx and it's apps, and one for my work and other miscellaneous docs. I know that osx lets you select which user's public folder you would like to mount instead of...
