    Can anyone recommend a UPS device for a Quicksilver G4 tower running Server 10.3?

    I'm using a MGE ellipse premium 800 here for over 2 years now. Worked fine with OS 9 and all X versions. MacOS X is supported with a spezial driver (PrefPane) that automaticly shuts down open apps if battery reaches a defined level. But I don't know if there are any changes under OS X Server...

    Terminal and Mail.app

    Sending mail using the Terminal should work out of the box. Just pop up the Terminal and type "mail to@host.com" and enter a Subject, the text and close with a dot in a single line. Work fine for me. And instead of a "real" mailbox you can use a username like "mail root" to put it in roots unix...

    UT2004 demo to be released today

    Just tested the ne 2k4 version and I'm very disappointed. They've got over 1 year for the new version and this stupid bug "jump and always straf right and never walk left again" they introduced in version 2k3 still exist. Not only that they haven't any bugfix for the 2k3 version no they even...

    What has terminal ever done for us?

    The Terminal is one of the best things ever in my opinion. Use it every day. And you can use every command you can think of because the Terminal is nothing more or less then a direct connetioc to the Uninx that waits under the GUI ;) So if you want to setup a few unix-servers or compile some...

    looking for a graphics tablet

    i'm using wacom tablet for 5 years now. Tryed some other brands (mostly cheap ones) and no other comes even close to the wacom feeling. Actually I'm working on a A5 Wacom Intous bought 2 years ago. And I'm using the table every day as my only input device (beside the keyboard of cause ;) ) when...

    iSight game

    Hi, I've tryed (and buyed) toysight. It's a pretty nice game. Resembles nearly the EyeToy available for PS2. Just try the available demo to get a feeling how it works. But you need enough room for it to play ;) And you don't need the iSight for it to play. Many available FW Cams works fine...

    Streaming Radio (or rebroadcast) recommendation?

    Hmm, I'm using one of those RF headphone transmitters (433 Mhz) as a sender and the headphone or rf-scanner for these frequencies as the receiver. Works pretty good and is completly legal. Works even in about 200 feet distances. And when in Bluetooth range I use my SE T610 mobile as a remote...

    New user switching from PC to Mac needs game advice

    Can you tell us a bit more about you new G4? What about RAM and clockrate, iMac or desktop? And do you really wan't a flight simulator or just a game like M$ FS? If you want a real sim then X-Plane is the only choice (www.x-plane.com). And I would say if the G4 is one of the new ones most...

    what is spoof attack?

    @michaelsanford: A scan from a spoofed machine is called a Idle-Scan or Idlehost-Scan so you mean exactly the same I described ;) But this kind of scan requires that the target you use to play the attacker has a predictable ID numbers for the IP packets in order to recognize if the target...

    what is spoof attack?

    This could also be a "simple" Idle-Scan against your router/ip. There are lot's of people out there scanning the network for holes they can use. But most of these are just stupid kids and use simple scan's so that your router or IDS can determine from witch IP this scan originates. But...

    iPod in 1984 ads ?

    Has anyone noticed that the woman in the 1984 ad form apple wears an iPod? http://www.apple.com/hardware/ads/1984/ Has Apple retouched this ad or have they just made a completely new one? I think this can't be the original or did Apple have plans for the iPod so early ;)

    OS X Virus

    Yes, it's a funny fake. But using AppleScript to readout the Adressbook and then using Mail to send itself to other seams to be possible. But I'm not sure if you can call such a programm a virus when it's simply just a script. And even if this will exist in the future you would see Adressbook...

    Computer makers sued over hard-drive size claims

    The growth in size by sending it with e-mail has nothing to do with that. This is simply because normal e-mails only use 7-bytes instead of 8 bytes for a character in order to avoid using spezial chars. So the e-mail programm has to convert your binary from 8 bytes/char to an ascii text using 7...

    What's the best bluetooth phone to use with my mac?

    Take one from SonyEricsson. The T68i or the T610 series are one of the best. And what is much more important: They work perfectly with the SonyEricssonClicker (SEC). So you can control your whole Mac with the additional menus created in you mobile. And sitting the next room and control your...
