    Broken external HD - data recoverable?

    The bottom line is I have an ion external HD that got dropped on the floor and broken. Now when I fire it up it makes a clanking noise and I can't read from it. Since I'm not a data forencics engineer what are the chances I can recover data from this? Is it even possible? Lets say the discs are...

    hushmail OpenPGP encryption

    In my business I need to keep things very private. I also think that the new initiative by Gerorge Bush to spy on us without a court order is disturbing. I need to make sure my email, which would be web-based through hushmail via Safari would be totally unreadable by any external...

    FileVault - Secure Virtual memory - Does this option affect performance?

    Secure Virtual Memory is the only option I have checked in FileVault. I was wondering what effect this has on my machine. Does it hold virtual memory fragments or delete them immediately? Does it have an effect on the cpu's?

    video ipod locked up after watching video

    Easy way to connect G4 to TV?

    I sold my old G4 Dual 1.25 PowerPC to a relative and he was wondering what's the best adapter or method to get it to play video/audio to TV. The TV has component RGB inputs, S-video inputs, and all the standard video/audio inputs. I did some searching around but didn't find much to my satisfaction.

    Safari Reset function - couple privacy questions

    First of all, can this function really reliably remove all existance of one's web activities? Can it be reversed? Can someone with an extensive IT background dig up the reset info? Is there anywhere else someone could find web access logs, url's, etc. indicating internet activity?

    I need a new IP

    If I hit "Renew DHCP Lease" will that give me a new IP? I go through Adelphia, and if I call them and ask them to change my IP do you think they would? Anybody have experience with this?

    Totally uninspired by Tiger

    Apple is really reaching this time with "Tiger". Stock quotes and weather are so 1998. C'mon guys, "Handy Widgets???" - yeah we've had these barely-useful "Widgets" on my toothbrush for the last 5 years. Everything else is just a cluster of uninspiring updates and bug fixes.

    Arafats mysterious ailment

    The reports are still coming in that no one knows what is ailing Yasser Arafat, or what is making him violently ill. Some have even speculated that it may been deliberate poisoning (soon to become a bizarre assasination conspiracy theory in the loony Arab streets), but one thing is certain, for...

    Thereasa Heinz-Kerry

    is not at all First-ladylike - admit it. What is your gut visceral reaction when you see her and you know in the back of your mind that she's a snotty billionairess. She reminds me of the mom on "Growing up Gotti" except she's a total dog. I mean, even you blind diehard supporters gotta be...

    Airport signal strength through solid ground

    I am setting up a wireless network with airport extreme. My home office is in the basement, and that's where the airport base would be. Will the fact that it's in the basement affect the signal going outside into the yard and reduce the 150ft range?

    I have been added to a spamsource list and can't send email????

    Bummer. Somehow I have gotten my IP listed on 2 anti-spam sites: http://cbl.abuseat.org & spamhaus.org as being a known source of mass virus spam. The only problem is that I certainly have not actually sent a single piece of spam anywhere, ever. I was just trying to reply to an email from a...

    HELP - Dual G4 will not wake/startup

    I put my G4 dual to sleep a few days ago, then I unplugged it and moved to a new house. It's now plugged in and it won't start. I can press the power button down and it is lit while I am holding it, but when I release it the power light quickly fades. The machine will not boot up in any way, it...

    Spyware in Netscape?

    When I hit F9 to view all windows using exposé, a small blank white window about 1.5" square will appear that says "hidden". I can not touch or move or edit this phantom window in any way. When I click it, it takes me back to Netscape and then disappears. It apparently is part of Netscape. What...

    OSX has killed my inner child

    Ever since installation of 10.3. Wait. No. Ever since OSX my Mac experience is totally sucking. both my 867MHz g4 iBook and G4 dual 1GHz are now sluggish and highly irritating, like wearing a wool sweater in the sauna. They have a great tendency to lock up, often beachballing me for minutes...
