Lycos Europe has released a campaign through which people can work proactively against SPAM by attacking the idiots using it for marketing - all through a downloadable screensaver. What do you guys think? Is this just lots of unnecessary traffic or might this be the way to go if we want to...

No, trust me. After login, the login screen goes away and then you see the good old "Aqua" background. 20 - 30 secs after that you get a usable finder.

I am currently handing roughly 50 servers (all Dell hardware) which all are running Debian GNU/Linux (stable). We used to run the shop on a bunch Xserv's and before that we used NetBSD but none of them can compete with Debian in my humble opinion. apt is the package manager. It allows you to...

Mmm, I don't know, but I'd try dropping the height attribute. Have you had a look at http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/safari_css.html yet? It's contains some invaluable info on CSS in Safari. Also, try to not use <p> for absolute positioning as it might add some of its inherent...

Yeah, of course, but at the expense of the actual "login time" though? Is it really a smart move? A matter of opinion I guess :D

I was trying to get my G4 MD to dualboot 10.4 and Debian GNU/Linux today, which lead me to reboot 1.000.000 times while trying out some stuff with yaboot and OF. As I usually never reboot or shutdown the Mac, I noticed that Tiger is insanely fast to boot! It literally throws the login screen at...

Hey! There's a lot of ways to go about this... If you're into QuickTime, you could do a splash screen which first displays and when the user clicks it, the movie or MP3 starts playing. Have a look at the trailers on www.apple.com/trailers for an example. They use it a lot over there. You can...

I can imagine that you're having some problems with from which machine or host the user in question can connect from. It's a part of MySQL's excellent security model. If you wanted to grant / create a user who can connect from any host and insert, delete, update and update any table in the...

Thanks for the advice guys!

Hey all! My employer finally decided to send me to the WWDC in S.F, C.A this June / July. Yeay! I have only been in S.F. once before and it was only for a couple of days. So, now I'm wondering if anyone out there has any good tips on what to do, what to see, where to eat etc. I'm open for...

Hey all! Just wanted to know if anyone has been able to get their Canon printer up and running with 10.3 Panther. I installed the drivers available from Canon.com but the printer (i865) still appears to have no drivers available. I would appreciate any help on this! Thanks!

Don't forget about Debian / GNU Linux. We're running Debian on a bunch of machines, and have never experienced any serious problems. Kinda hard to install though..

The message you get could depend on some permissions not being set correctly. I can't be sure as I do not know what the PKG you're using does, but try to change the owner of MySQL's data directory to mysql:mysql (user:group). Reading your post it seems like this directory would be located...

No, seriously. As the "administrator" (read: founder) of the protest I can send it along via e-mail from the site to whomever I wish.. Damn funny! Let's get a couple of thousand people and send it to Mr. Bush and Mr. Gates.. :confused: :confused: :confused:

We're using ProFTPd for all of our production servers. Stable, safe, HIGHLY CONFIGURABLE, authenticates against anything (even MySQL) and it is fast. Check out http://www.afp548.com/ for an article on how to set it up for OSXS. Good luck.

Lol. That's kinda ironic..

Yup.. Seems like it.

Come on guys.. This is our chance to speak our mind in public! Actually quite funny. Go and join the protest right away so we can send it along to Mr. Bill! Click :D :D :D :D ;)

Well, do this (works for all files). Get the URL of the SWF and enter it in IE's address bar. Now hit enter, but press and hold command. That'll open up the download manager and you'll notice the SWF being downloaded. Quite nice actually. Would love to see that in Safari.
