Has anyone else encountered this problem? Apparently, Verisign has switched to new certificate scheme, as of a few months ago. Verisign's explanation is here: http://www.verisign.com/support/advisories/page_029264.html (yes, it's available as an https page as well, and if you go to that...

Does anyone know of a gizmo similar to this, that's OS X compatible? (product described thoroughly here) http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=MAGIC-MIRROR-N&cat=NET (company product home here, not so thoroughly described) http://antsys.com.my/mmu2000xp.html Basically, it's the...

Has anyone else noted this? I have my computer set to require a password to wake up from sleep or from the screensaver (security settings in system preferences), and yet I can leave my computer for hours, come back, wiggle the mouse, and it just wakes up without my having to enter a password...

I've gotten used to using white text on black background in text editors - a carry over from using a terminal, I guess - I find it much easier on the eyes than all that glowing white screen. Problem is, I can't see the darn mouse cursor - when the "I-beam" cursor is in front of a black...

Does anyone know if this can be done? When you reply to e-mail with mail.app, the reply string is of the form: On 11 Apr, 2004, at 12:43, Joe Blow wrote: So, it's using the date format you've set on an OS wide level, which is sensible. But does anyone know if that can be customized...

Hello, maybe someone out there can help me - if you have done the 10.3.3 upgrade, what are the version numbers of Mail.app and Safari.app? According to the 10.3.3 information, aren't Mail and Safari supposed to be updated? I didn't take note of the version numbers I had before, but now Mail...

Does anyone else find that this happens to them: Anytime I change anything - install pretty much any update, or maybe even just every reboot (updates are about the only time I reboot, so I can't be sure), the user interface sounds are turned back on. I throw something in the trash, and...

Would it be possible to have a no-graphics, or at least barely-any-graphics version of this site? Or am I the only one who would like something like this? The images take a long time to load, and make the text jump all over the screen until they're finished. It's hard to click on links till...

This site uses an awful lot of little tiny graphics in the forums - avatars, smileys, navigation bar... And many of them have no height or width tags. The upshot of this is that after loading a page, the images start slowly loading, and the text in the page (which is why we're here, after...

Since the 10-19-01 Security update, my computer has been unstable in the extreme, sshd does not work, etc. etc. etc. Basically I have a computer full of pain... In the past, I was able to fix this sort of problem by deleting the installation Receipt from /Library/Receipts, and then running...

Has anyone had any luck cajoling OS X into talking to a USB Ethernet adapter? I would like to get an iMac to act as a home firewall - it's quiet what with no fan and all, an obvious choice for the comp that stays on all the time, except of course there is no room in there for a second ethernet...

Does anyone know, is there room in a G3 all-in-one to add a second hard drive? I know they use plain old ATA drives, so if there's room, finding a drive that works will be no problem. It would make moving my mom's computer over to OS X a lost handier if I didn't have to start all over with a...

I have a couple of questions that I am just too impatient to wait the couple of weeks to find out: a) Is there a /dev/random, or better yet a /dev/urandom? A real source of random numbers is really a necessity for any sort of encryption, and a big gap in Darwin 1.3.x b) Does pre-emptive...

For some reason, the NetInfo Manager refuses to start under most conditions. Double clicking the app, it does a few bounces, than vanishes. From a commandline, typing: NetInfo\ Manager.app/Contents/MacOS/NetInfo\ Manager does the same as above, with the somewhat unuseful output...

Has anyone found, or succeeded in porting, a LISP interpreter for OS X? clisp and gcl both die on me in mysterious ways. The process for compiling cmucl actually requires a working lisp interpreter, and seems pretty esoteric even then..

On OS X 10.0, you can open a terminal, and try this: <tt>[poppacrow:~] mark% who mark console Mar 29 17:31 </tt> 'who' doesn't see you even though you are typing that at a terminal. If you ssh onto the computer from outside, it looks like this: <tt>[poppacrow:~] mark% who mark...
