Incidentally - EFI is capable of loading GRUB, GRUB is capable of loading Windows XP (although EFI is supposed to take the place of the bootloader, so this would probably fall under the category of a hack). So, I'm guessing it won't be too long before someone figures out a clever way to get...

I got the impression that FAT filesystem was required for the FS that contains EFI extensions - not the FS that the OS lives on. So, if there's a small flash disk, or a tiny HD partition that contains additional features for EFI (it's much more extendable than BIOS), that has to be FAT. I...

Try Audacity. Free, open source, versatile, simple. If it doesn't do what you need right away, there's probably a plugin that would do it.

if you're both happy enough using terminal commands, split and cat should do it. First make a zip file (if you haven't already), as you can often make the file quite a bit smaller. then cut the file into pieces you can send. For example, if you find you can send at most 5 megs at a time, a...

Horizontal scrolling! Bleagh. I'll come back in a week & see if the site is still broken.

there are options in the ifconfig man page indicating you can create a new pseudo device (including using 802.1q VLAN trunking), but I couldn't find any examples of precisely what arguments you need. I didn't dig very deep, so I'm sure it's out there...

Read the manpage for ifconfig, I may have made a mistake in here, or missed a detail (it seemed to work when I tried it, but I didn't do any testing). You want to add the alias parameter when you set the address. You don't use virtual devices (en0:1 or whatever). So, like this: ifconfig...

It all depends on the configuration options that are available on the airport base station - by default it's going to want its default route to be out the wired interface; you're trying to point its default route to an address on the wireless interface. If you get a LinkSys WRT54G, you should...

You're talking about DRM. DRM is a pipe dream. You cannot give a person a file in a usable format, and control what they do with them. I recommend putting a clear copyright notice on your website, and trusting your users to read it.

Guess I could include a link, eh? http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/brickhouse.html

Brickhouse is $25 shareware, but it's not crippled if you don't pay - probably mostly for just that sort of reason, so more people will try it out and decide that it's worth the money for them. It's a configuration utility for the built in OS X firewall, the same one you're configuring with...

Does your windows box live on an IPv6 network?

natd does the actual translating, ipfw is used to pass packets to natd. Assuming your external IP address is 1.2.3.4, the external interface is en0, and the internal host you want to forward to is 10.0.0.12, you'd want to have a line in your rc.natd config file like: redirect_port tcp...

qmail doesn't do POP, just SMTP. So, the POP problem isn't a qmail problem. May be a server problem of another sort... Can you get access to the server at all? SSH, anything? Is there any way you can look at system logs or similar?

Cyberduck is a nice one - it's just not an FTP client. I use ftp or sftp in the terminal, as it's just quicker. However, Cyberduck is nice for those that don't want to use the terminal. I prefer the ugliest SFTP client over the prettiest FTP client any day, as long as I have the choice to...

It's true though that Apple's record on patching security issues is not very good - they seem to have the mentality of a closed source company, not realizing that they ship an open source product, so they really don't have control over the disclosure schedule of vulnerabilities in (MIT Kerberos...

These things are truly terrifying. I never dared press any of the buttons. Google "japanese techno toilet"

Hey, that reminded me - the Saskatoon public library system also has a telnet based catalog system, as well as a web-based system (relatively recent, say < 7 years). They used to have a bunch of VT220's in the library, I don't know if they replaced them now with web stations. The telnet...

Just a heads up - even if offtopic - there were 4 high impact security vulnerabilities recently discovered in the WRT54G. Upgrade the firmware if you haven't already.

RAM doesn't need to be installed in pairs anymore; hasn't since the 80's sometime. You get slightly better performance in some situations if it is in matched pairs, but it certainly doesn't need to be. Your sound card may or may not work, depending on the model. a quick google for 'm-audio...
