Hello Community,

I just wanted to write and say goodbye. With the coming of parenthood, and some other things beyond my control, I am departing DaniWeb and the Community. I wish you all well.

For those who may not have heard, former network leader Novell (who owns SuSE Linux) made a deal with Microsoft exchanging some intellectual property rights. Those in the business-end of IT know...

Hello,

The stability of Win 98 is comparable to some short-lived radioactive isotopes of Lawrencium.

Hello,

With knowledge --> power --> responsibility.

It is unethical to circumvent the firewall in place at your institution. Once you mature, you will understand why.

I used to IT consult...

Hello,

This one really depends on the family dynamics, and what the items in question are all about. You mention paying bills... did they take a vacation, and want you to pop for it, or did...

Hello,

I missed #8 too.

I found, however, that some of the questions were misleading. Without spilling the beans on the exam, there are challenges on some of the terms of office, and along...

Hello,

I realize this thread is older, but it is also incomplete. How do you install it on other OS's, such as Linux or Mac OS X? The writer did not specify an operating system, and we need to...

Hello,

You are absolutely right concerning the risks of equipment in the cargo hold of the plane, along with the value of meeting and networking with people. Doing the webcast is socially...

Hello,

It is an unfortunate turn of events with the Blog contest.

To MovieLad, I wish you well on your external projects (the move and adoption), but I also wish for you a period of...

Hello,

If you are interested in exploring a bit, you could try installing linux onto the computer. Not sure if it will support the wireless cards or not, but it may give you something to work...

Hello,

I am not sure if you were using OS X or OS 9 with your powerbook.

Anyways, either an OS 9 or an OS X install disk will give you the option to format the hard drive. You may need to...

Hello,

This is a nice post / topic.

A Mac should work with any ISP that a PC works with, unless you have one that specifically does something Windows only, such as needing Microsoft or Citirix...

Hello,

I agree that iDVD is the answer to your needs. Gotta be careful when you burn a disk... sometimes you are just burning a bunch of files (a la data backup) and other times, you are making...

Hello,

Is this Outlook, or Outlook express? As your question is in the web browsers section, it implies you are using a web browser to look at your Microsoft Outlook email on some exchange...

Hello,

I think he is referring to the Daystar (or comparable) accelerator card that could be installed inside of a PMac 7100.

The original 7100 was a 66 MHz PPC 601, not a G3 processor. If...

Hello,

A Mac is a computer, and even under OS X, a very cool and awesome OS, it is possible to get a virus. Not likely, but possible.

If you are running on Mac OS X as a local administrator,...

I love my MacBook. :) Couple months old, but I still consider it quite new, and as more and more Universal programs come out, it will get faster and more enjoyable.

As for the super-computing,...

Hello,

Yes, it is dangerous to delete a 0 byte file.

Linux / Unix scripts allow you to touch a file, meaning, make a file, and have it filesize=0. Programs can do that to keep track of...

Hello,

Rosetta is working well from what I can tell. I do not have firm application profile numbers, but Eudora, Firefox, and a number of others are working well and responsive on my MacBook.
...

Hello,

I like the idea of virtualization: give me a window with Windoze on it, and all the meyhem can occur inside of it, and leave the filesystem things to OS X.

I need to do more research...

Hi,

He is exactly right, although I thought expander came with OS X. Perhaps you need a more recent copy of it.

Christian

Hello,

Did you open the Monitors control panel, and adjust the display? Perhaps the settings are not correct, such as stuck in 800x600 @ 256 colors.

Were you running OS X before, or did you...

Hello,

I would delete the printer from OS X and install it again. Perhaps some of the settings got mucked up.

Christian

Hello,

I am not sure if OS X will work with OS 9 Font Suitcases or not. I have taken .TTF files from the OS 9 computer and put them on OS X without a problem.

Try moving a single font, such as...

Hello,

I love my MacBook too!

You won't be able to run Classic applications on it, nor will Classic / OS9 programs work with it. If you have such programs, go get your older computer, optimize...

Hello,

Let's say for a moment that Microsoft made cars. Would you expect there to be parts for a 1998 Microsoft Sedan?

I would. But then again, I would also acknowledge that the part may...

Hello,

I fully agree with you. I have the 15" MacBook Pro, and love it very much. I do wish, however, that the thing came with a modem and S-Video outputs. These items my PowerBook G3 from 1999...

Hello,

I can just think of all the obsolete computers that are going to be turned over, and how wonderful Linux will operate on them.

Yes, some of you are really going to need Windows to...

Hello,

I would seriously consider getting OUT of IT. Why? Because of the lack of respect of the position in the corporate world. Take a look at recent articles in Network Computing or...

Hello,

Yep, that is the way to go... have the computer behave like an external hard disk. Older Macs used to call it "SCSI DISK MODE", and the newer ones Target Disk Mode. I don't think the new...

Hello,

The problem is that the creator gives no credit to the despair.com where the words are from. I would call that a copyright violation, and steer clear of it.

Christian

Hello,

I have moved this thread, and am assuming that you have a Win 2K or XP computer that this is happening on. My guess is that you have a registry issue.

Not knowing what is causing the...

A couple of years ago, I thought I would never have seen an "Intel Inside" sticker on Apple hardware. Looking at the news today, I was surprised at the revelation that Intel Macintosh hardware can...

Hello,

Good comments fellas. I agree about not wanting to dual-boot the Mac, unless it was an older one, such as my Powerbook G3 333 MHz computer. An OS X box that is sufficiently modern / fast...

Fedora Core 5, the next version of software based on RedHat Linux of long ago, was released in Mid-March to the masses. I am sure that others have looked at the alpha and beta releases -- I waited...

Hello,

I agree with Dave... Wireless security is hard to come by, and WEP is not sufficient. It can be hacked, scanned, and thumped without too much effort.

You might also be able to limit the...

Hello,

I have not tried the F8 trick on the keyboard to do that. There are some symbols up there that I am not sure what they do to be honest. Have not done *everything* just yet.

I also...

As many of you already know, Apple has released a new line of computers with Intel chips inside -- namely the new iMac, and the MacBook. I took delivery of my new one the last week of February, and...

Hello,

Mac OS 9 and earlier do not have the "multiple users" paradigm that OS X does, therefore, there is no master password that needs to be reset under OS 9. If you are in OS X, and in Classic,...

Hello,

Just be aware that the new intel Macs do not support classic. If you are going to get into the intel world, that will stop you.

Whatever the case, make sure you get plenty of memory for...
