I'd just like to add that the symptoms described sound like there's a hardware issue underneath all of this. It could be RAM, HD, or IDE bus, they all can show up very much like this. Hell, even a totally flaky video card can produce symptoms like this. I'd swap the HD into another box and...

Agreed. It's a strategy of buying on anticipation, selling on the news. It's a game of trying to lead the buying and selling to the point that it no longer reflects what the company does, but what investors predict people will think about the company's news. The stock market has become...

OK. I think we're talking the same language then. I think I've said all that I can say, and you probably have an idea of where you're going with this, so good luck. I probably could have said things more clearly if I'd using a little OmniGraffle to counter your diagramming skillz ... but...

nope, I don't understand that logic. the only way what you say makes sense is if "uplink port" means "using or emulating a crossover cable." The two upstream most routers should both talk to the cable modem with their upstream ports. If you connect the two downstream sides of the routers...

I wouldn't use NFS there, it's 7 levels of not secure to a dynamic external IP. yucky. I agree with Ripcord on every other item though. I'd also recommend enabling ssh on your machine, portmapping that appropriately, and then using sftp over the ssh port which is what Mac OS X expects. More...

Wow man, that's an obscure question. If I did know the quirks of 10.0.4 ftp, I am fairly certain I don't now. Have you looked at man ftp on your machine for any help? I know that usually OS X likes to use the home directory concept universally for everything. I also know that OS X Serve...

HAHAHAAHahhaahhahhooohooohohoohheeeeheeeheeeheeeeheeeeee heee heeh heh heh. WHooooo boy. That was a good one. "Then Samab is as convenient as AppleTalk!" Heh heh heh. Wow, that's frikkin' funny man. whew. Do you write your own stuff?

usually timeouts like that are caused by the upstream server not giving a lookup for the IP address the machine has. It wants to know its name and it wants to be told. netinfo makes things screwy like this. As for your account not working, that's odd. But I've done mostly local or...

If you could hardcode the IP-ARP tables in your two upstream-most routers, that would enable you to communicate directly between your two networks going just across the hub and not upstream. To keep crap off the upstream network I would recommend a switch in place of that hub. They're cheap...

OK, iTunes will convert into whatever your default format is. If you want mp3, set your default to mp3, then you'll get Convert to MP3 as your conversion option. Next, an aac file converted to mp3 will sound mostly like an mp3. mp3 loses way more of the sound than aac, so that transition is...

well, perhaps I won't continue my development of Calc Thingy. Google once again takes my breath away. And the default calculator is getting to be a lot less stupid than the the throwaway one they used to put in.

get the big drive. The performance differences will be fairly small on those large files with decent drives, and the future expandability may be critical. Unless you intend to launch apps all the time while doing video editing...

that whole 95% market share gets 95% of the viruses crap really gets on my nerves. If you actually look at the history of computing microsoft seemed to go out of their way to re-enable exploits that had been found and fixed in unix 10 years prior. They don't do anything for security in their...

you silly gits. I don't remember the article number but I swear it's in the apple knowledge-base somewhere. If your macintosh becomes self aware you're supposed to keep it occupied by playing it an occasional game of chess. That's why they included it. This will keep it from trying to occupy...

Sweeeeeet. Thanks. Indeed this is enough better that I might not need to use command line top much longer. At least not on my local machine anyway.

how is it superior to the previous ProcessViewer? Well, aside from the occasional bogus process showing up in the list with garbage for a name and consuming 800+% of the CPU...

Nice, the switching to the previous app nuance is something I missed. I believe it had previously just rotated through in the order of the dock, which can seem arbitrary if you expect it to heed the order you last used the applications. I would like something a bit more obvious about how...

ahhh, so the Finder and I/O system still blow in Panther. Bonus. :-/

here's a test. connect to my computer over a skinny DSL line, AFP://pseudohacker.com - (my upload cap is about 10KB/s) connect as guest, mount the public directory, then do a file listing and while your computer is grabbing all of the silly information for listing files see if it does...

mostly agreeing with what has been said here. 64bit is a memory address thing. For the few current apps and many future apps that benefit from it, it's there. The truly crazy coolness of the PowerPC architecture is that it runs 32 bit code with no speed hit on 32 bit or 64 bit architectures...
