    Attacks via SSH

    I did not write impossible to break into, but impossible to break into with such automated «brute force» attacks. Or should we say «everything is relative?» ;) Using a 2048 bit RSA encryption without public key negotiation, there are 2^2048 options. If every attempt takes a second, the process...

    Herve's Bar & Grill

    Still around! And you've been gone for half a world history! Welcome back, and I hope I can welcome you back to Mac OS X as well ;) Mac Pro? Hmm. Pro Mac, rather?

    Internet Explorer for Mac OSX

    Sites that actually require IE, require IE for Windows.

    Attacks via SSH

    You can also configure sshd to use private key authentication, which will make sshd impossible to break into with such automated «brute force» attacks. And/or block hosts after e.g. three failed attempts.

    OS X's Apache Universal?

    I checked some of the binaries including httpd on my iMac, and indeed these are universal. PPC and i386. I'd believe they left out the PPC binaries in the Intel version, but it might be that the whole system is universal and installable on PPC Macs.

    Teehee! MiniPC

    Borrowing some ideas and developing them further can be good sometimes, but stealing a concept and making it look like crap is just sad.

    College students with Jobs HELP!

    Apple Store? :)

    What do you think of MacMinis?

    I'd definitely go for the iMac. Even if you already have the external display, as you can connect it to the iMac and use it as a second display. Other reasons: - The iMac's graphics processor and graphics memory are significantly faster. - Faster HD and twice the capacity. The iMac's...

    20" Intel Imac - Keyboard Problem

    I think you answered your own question :) You should probably call AppleCare and demand a replacement keyboard.

    How does Final Cut work with the Intel Mac?

    I guess Apple's programmers are employed, so that won't be an expense except they'll have to delay new features. It seems reasonable that Apple will offer a free downloadable update as with Logic Pro and upcoming Aperture.

    Microsoft's portable device

    I noticed there's a dock on the display as well. Also, some UI elements on the device look remarkably similar to Apple's. Not that Microsoft isn't known for borrowing Apple's concepts, but it still made me think for a second that Apple is involved.

    Apple-Event the 28th

    I'll follow up with a question about system memory usage for graphics :)

    I think you should start writing stories in Pages templates, just because that application is so awesome :D

    Apple-Event the 28th

    2D performance is what matters for most tasks in a graphics-intensive OS. A Quartz benchmark would be more appropriate to compare the minis. I don't think anyone would expect to be able to run the latest 3D games on a Mac mini with blazing speed anyway. As Mikuro pointed out though, 512 MB RAM...

    Apple-Event the 28th

    I've used a DTK Mac with an Intel GMA 900 for a few months, and the graphics seemed much more snappy than the Mac mini even though I've been running the DTK at much higher resolution than the Mac mini I've used. Based on my experience, I would expect the GMA 950 to be significantly faster...

    Apple-Event the 28th

    I'd love Shake with live preview rendering (that actually works) and a Cocoa-based interface in an Aqua Pro version of Quartz Composer. But that's a bit off-topic, I guess :) For today's event? Endless bragging about iTunes and iPod sales of course. And perhaps some iPod accessories, a new...

    Apple-Event the 28th

    Shake is the ultimate compositing and special effects development environment, whereas Motion is merly intended for relatively quick and cheap projects. Shake is also ten times the price of Motion. I personally think Motion is about as «Pro» as it can get before it becomes a Shake-style...

    iBook keeps telling me to restart

    This could be a hardware issue. Have you done any changes to your configuration recently, such as upgrading memory?

    Blasphemous cartoons

    I've seen flag burning in Western countries over less. Id est, reactionary far-right republicans in the U.S. burning French flags after France opposed the invasion of Iraq. Recently, a Norwegian-Palestinian was stabbed in Oslo because he was among the demonstrators burning Norwegian and...
