Must mean that they're getting ready to release some new rumours :D ;) :p

Ethereal is probably the most well known and supported on many platforms (including OSX). MacSniffer will also work. Sorry don't have url's, but ethereal is available through fink and you should be able to find MacSniffer without any problems (Tucows?).

That's what this change is supposed to address. The "slowdown" is due to extra overhead introduced to deal with mixed b/g environments. Todays equipment handles it by just forcing everything to b when a single b client is present. Once everyone updates their firmware, the ap's should more...

I understand your logic, I just don't agree with it. Apple already is generally known as having superior hardware and software. Where they keep getting beat down is over price and market share (hardware/software support, FUD over long term viability, etc). I just don't think having a "nice"...

That may be true. Formating every 3-4 months, actually it does sound a lot like your friends are getting nailed by virus'? There are several of us here on this board that use Win2K and/or XP everyday (and are surrounded by people who do like wise) that have been churning for months/years...

I think that site compatibility is going to be the biggest issue. I still use Mozilla on OSX because some sites just won't work right (or look terrible) using Safari. On the Mac, you can get away with it, on Windoze you'll get nailed big time. People will try it once, and the first website...

Right now boxen like RS/6000, Sun, and HP are significantly better for database serving. It sounds likes the problems you had are more related to ASP use? ASP sucks so bad even M$ is recommending that you keep it's use to a minimum. I've had reasonable results from relatively heavy SQLServer...

Generally yes, it's fairly easy. You sign up (you need a credit card to register to be a seller). How easy the actual transaction just depends (the buyer, the item you're selling, etc). As for the money you'll make, again that depends. Check the completed auctions for items similar to yours...

I know that this may be better placed in the networking section, but I know that a lot of people don't venture over there unless they have problems, and this article really applies to everyone who has Airport Extreme stuff. The mods can move it if they think it is appropriate. Anyway, the...

Perhaps part of the confusion might be over t568a vs t568b wiring? You can use either standard when making your wires, but both ends have to be the same. Other than that cat5 is cat5 regardless of speed (even up to gigabit speeds). Cat3 is only certified for 10Mb, though often will work at...

Sorta. Like I said in my previous post, many applications today don't need 64bit calcs as 64bit integers are overkill for many/most apps. Think of how many numbers you deal with in day to day life (even computing life), now how many times do you deal with values above 4billion? Unless you're...

I think your confusing the 620 with the 615. The 620 was supposed to be basically what the 970 is today, a 64bit SMP friendly monster. The 615 was supposed to be a 604 (or 603) with built in x86 emulation. Neither chip made it outside of Somerset afaik.

Just plug your basestation into your hub. That should be it. Your Mac will dhcp from your router (assuming that's what you're doing now). The base station is basically acting like a bridge at this point. It may have router functionality, but I don't know if it will have all the features of...

Cat is right, unless you've been executing code that has a lot of 64bit values, you won't see any inherent benefits from moving to 64bits from 32bits. Note that 32 -> 64 won't be nearly as a wonderous thing as moving from 8 -> 16 or 16 -> 32. The reason for this is that a 32bit integer is a...

That's not true for the NT branch of the family (NT, Win2k, etc). There is a bunch of 16bit code, but that code is there to specifically support 16bit apps. A 32bit app should never see any 16bit code while executing. Now it may be true for the "consumer" Windoze versions (95, 98, ME, etc)...

Generally that's sorta how it goes. But there is no hard and fast definition. Take the video card out of a high end machine and voila, you have a server. Is a maxed out PC with a $1000 OpenGL acclerated video card still a pc or is it a workstation? The difference is more in the marketing...

I don't think any machines ever shipped with the 620. If they did, they most likely would have been AIX based (i.e. not "desktop" or pc (generic)). If 10.3 is 64bit, then the Mac would be the first pc to be fully 64bit (OS and cpu) geared towards the mass market (and certainly the consumer...

I don't think Bill hates Apple at all. Pretty much every new version of Windoze that comes out M$ tries to make the UI "kinder and gentler" and yes, many of the things they do originated in the Mac world. I don't know how this somehow translates in Billy "hating" Apple. M$ is happy to let...

Just saw my first 17" a couple of weeks ago, man that sucker is huuuuge. I'd be interested in hearing how it is to lug around. What type of bag do you have for it? I'd imagine it would be unwieldy on an airplane. Watching dvd's must rock though. Any heat issues?
