Hey, blb, your name's not Nkuvu. That question was directed to me! Seriously, thanks for the info. What do you do for a living? Full time Unix guru? I've seen you give advice that makes my head spin (not necessarily referring to this, this seems pretty straightforward), and I don't feel...

Why oh why does everyone who is proclaiming that PCs are better look only at CPU speed and price? Is that all you ever care about? Processor speed and sub-$1000 systems? Every single person that I have seen on these boards says the same thing. "I love Macs, don't get me wrong, but PCs kick...

Okay, first of all you don't need to make a new image all the time. I've done the encrypted image thing for my finance files. I just mount the image when I want to use it, and it's like another folder. Easily found in /Volumes/whatever. Eject it when you're done, re-mount as necessary...

OK, here's mine:

Why don't you like this method, lethe? And which method? The permissions or the disk image method?

Me, myself & Irene Right?

I'm 15 too. I, uh, graduated college when I was 13, and I, er, moved to Tucson and got a job. And if you believe that then email me -- I've got a 124GHz computer to sell you for $10000000. :)

Wow, I guess I really have lost track of the current progress of the x86 world. That's a fast processor. ;) And that's an expensive temper you have there. As to the rest of the post... Uh, good? I think? I'm lost.

This isn't another Dogma quote, is it?

Just ot make sure everyone's clear -- my problems with authentication had nothing to do with Earthlink. My problems were with another no-name ISP. But Earthlink does seem to be kickin', I've been able to connect faster and at higher speeds than any other ISP I've tried so far.

I have to ditto hazmat. I have seven O'Reilly titles on my shelf at home (out of about 15 computer books) and three titles at work (out of four books). The writing style is entertaining and informative, the content is very comprehensive, and they have the best index in any book I have ever seen.

Uhh, what? Can't go back to Earthlink? Back to another ISP? Back to a Belgian sort of beer? ;)

hehe, when 937 years of age you reach, look as good you will not.

I just finished reading the Scions of Shannara (Terry Brooks) after re-reading the first three Shannara series. I have to say I liked them a lot more the first time. Scions was good, because it wasn't the same old story. A synopsis of the first three (Sword, Elfstones, Wishsong): Allanon...

I'm not ignoring anyone, just had problems with my ISP. The curious people can read about it in the B&G. I will probably be posting a lot less this week, since we have to get ready to move. Cleaning and packing and moving and cleaning and unpacking. Joy! It will be nice once we're...

Yeah, but you're missing a lot more. You know, stability, a decent command line, built in security, a good interface... ;) :D

Ahh, my internet addiction is sated once again. I tried to connect yesterday, only to get "Authentication Failed". My username and password hadn't changed, but I re-entered them again anyway. Same thing. So I called the tech support, and they said (this is a direct quote) "Uhh, I don't...

RacerX, you should do some traveling. Go see Europe and Asia and all those fun places. Who cares if you don't speak their language? They should speak English, right? I really hate that Americans tend to expect that everyone will speak English in other countries. Sorry, I digressed...

It depends on whether you like the girl or not, and what movie you plan to see. Who is on first?

I disagree. You can say that speed is not an issue because the computer is so fast that it doesn't matter, but I feel that a fast program is going to be better received than a slow one. Let's take everyone's favorite OS, for example. OS X was not written in Java, to the best of my...
