    what is spoof attack?

    I just had someone partially explain this to me. From what I understand is that a "Spoof" attack is when someone out in "networkland" tries to steal a machines IP and/or Hardware address. I would think they do this so that they can perform illegal activities/hacking from a port that is not their...

    Suggestions! How can Apple better penetrate the PC Market?

    they struck a deal with MS and still have it today. Why not the same for Bungie? I'm not saying a mutual beneficial agreement where Bungie makes their games for Mac out of the kindness of their hearts, but rather Apple pay them a sum to release their games on the Mac at the same time they are...

    Suggestions! How can Apple better penetrate the PC Market?

    Apple's biggest problem lies in their advertising. They ran this great ad about the G5 in all the techie magazines that was a hard sale and made many coworkers of mine stand up and take notice, but they ran this horrible commercial on TV that has this kid get blown out of his house by the...

    S.O.S. - Need material to justify Mac in workplace

    How about a written testimony from myself? I'm an IT at a mideastern US university that got hit hard by the blaster worm (among others). We spent three weeks trying to get the 10 windows users I have under my areas. The total cost to the university was probably $15000 - $25000 for those 3 weeks...

    Outlook Web Access not accessible on MacOSX

    The browser I have the most success connection to OWA is Camino. Everything else is either too slow or asks for authentication over and over again.

    My website preview

    site #1. I Think it's fresh and definitely different from what's out there today. BTW what does everyone think of these sites. They are for departmental sites of the college I work for as IT and webmaster/webdesigner, etc. http://www.marshall.edu/cofa/art/ http://www.marshall.edu/cofa/music/...

    Tips for freelance web design work?

    I set up a sign off/ pay system. Where once "A" is completed the pay me $X. And sign a contract up front with specific language. Also try to work into the contract that the job must be finished within a certain amount of time. Otherwise you end up like me who still has a site that has yet to...

    Virus Article

    Good read. I'm an IT at university in charge of the almost 300 Macs on campus and agree with most of his findings. I've been doing this job for about 2 years and have had to fix about 30-40 computers for viruses, 1 of which was on a Mac.

    merging harddisks

    Have you tried 1) a disk image of one of the drives, 2) copying the images file to the other, 3) reformatting the disk that was just imaged to the formatted size(s) you want it, and 4) CCCing the data over that was imaged? Step and repeat for the second drive. This probably wasn't what you...

    Using applescript to open web browser and go to a site

    what about a script that will prompt the user for the URL they want to open and then open that URL in say IE, Camino, Safari, and Netscape? Now, that would be a useful script for me when developing websites.

    Frozen Throne is out!

    I was in the beta test group II for TFT on bnet. It was completely populated by idiots dead set on winning the ladder competition instead of testing the game. I stopped testing and won't play on bnet anymore because of them. my 2¢ worth.

    Actually, our Apple tech guy showed me a great way to restrict the permissions to the print center so that the printers couldn't be changed and deleted.

    WinXP and OS X

    Thanks to everyone who has posted. Last night I was reminded why it is that I love the Mac so much. After NWN crashed on me for the upteenth time the entire XP OS decided that it didn't want to play ball either.

    WinXP and OS X

    Ok so I've had the chance to play around with my Dell Dimension 8300. I thought I might share impressions with everyone about this machine as it stands against my other two. I hope to make this as impartial as possible. First, is the amount of time that it takes for the startup scripts to load...

    Longhorn

    I am shocked. Just shocked by these results! I mean imagine a 2.2 ghz machine is out performing a 600 mhz machine. That can't be possible. Cell, you post the same argument over and over again. If you want it to have any credibility you need to install XP on 600 mhz machine with 384 MB of...
