I dig this style :)

Just an FYI: It's not really advisable to post your IP address in a web forum-- you're inviting people to break into your system. As such, I did a port scan of that IP address, out of curiosity. Apparently, your ISP filters out port 137...

You may have to download a program like HiJackThis and pull that out of your registry. Most likely, what happened is that some popup had malicious code in it. That code was able to edit your browser settings and add in the web page to your history. HiJackThis can be …

It could definitely be overheating. I'm not sure of what the operating range is for that chip, but I'd look into an aftermarket CPU cooler for the chip. Also, it could be an issue with your motherboard. I used to have an older Asus K7V-133C that, everytime the machine froze, …

You could set the date/time back on the machine, and then access the file, thus giving it an earlier file date... That's kind of a ghetto solution, but it may work.

If this were my machine, here's what I'd do: Primary Master: 80GB Maxtor Primary Slave: DVD-ROM Secondary Master: Plextor 16x10x40 Then, if you have a RAID controller, I'd run the two 20GB drives in a RAID 1 configuration. I have a few reasons for this. First, I'm deathly scared of …

Hrm... I don't know if I like it too much... Is there some way to change the look of it? I'm not to fond of the avatar and the username taking up such a large portion of the post. It's just more space where information could be crammed in, IMHO. …

That's even a good test for you to try. Download Mozilla Firebird, (available from [url]www.mozilla.org[/url]) install it, and then connect to AOL. Once you get connected, minimize your AOL window. Then, open up Firebird and go to eBay. If it runs just fine under Firebird, then we'll at least know …

An IDE channel can have two IDE devices on it. So long as they have IDE connectors, the devices should work. A floppy isn't an ATA/IDE device-- it has its own special port. So, you should be okay with that motherboard. But, as a point of Netiquette, "please respond quick" …

[QUOTE=cscgal]Serial ATA is better than Parallel ATA (IDE) drives SCSI is great if you can afford it but really meant for high-performance servers[/QUOTE] Just an FYI: According to Tom's Hardware guide, Serial ATA drives have almost caught up with SCSI in terms of speed and reliability. Those used to be …

I'd go with the ECS board, too. I've got one of them, and they're pretty nice. They'll definitely support that memory+processor combo, and they're really affordable. There's nothing wrong, neccesarily, with that PC Chips board, but it might not hurt to spend a little extra for some more features.

[url=http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/36]Vicomsoft FTP[/url] I really like that piece of software. I've used it since OS 8, and it integrated really nicely into the Finder with its drag-n-drop capability.

I personally shy away from striping. Why? Because if one drive goes funky, then you'd lose all 500GB of data. Also, I'd be willing to bet that as fast as SATA is, the performance gain wouldn't be [i]that[/i] big. I mean, c'mon, you've got a G5 with Serial ATA. How …

is linneighboorhood available for OS X? I'll bet that you can compile it, or maybe it's available through Fink...

First off, try posting the specs of your machine. If you do that, we may be better able to troubleshoot your install. It may very well be that you don't have correct jumper settings on a drive or something...

I don't see why it wouldn't...

[QUOTE=Eduardo] For files transfer, the best is to use SAMBA. But, remeber that NTFS is ready only for samba. One alternative is to create a Fat32 partition on win side to allow file transfers. [/QUOTE] I'd have to agree with the first sentence of this statement, but not with the …

To those running as root all the time: Running as an upriviledged user is one of the best security features available to a Linux user. If you're checking your email, surfing the web, or doing ANYTHING pertaining to the USE of your computer, there's no reason you shouldn't run as …

It depends on how users are logging in. If it's through telnet, you would edit /etc/issue.net. Otherwise, it's dependant upon each particular service. /etc/motd would be displayed for users after they've logged on. Interestingly enough, if your terminal supports it, you can do some neat things with /etc/issue.net and its …

I'll take a stab at this, but I could be completely wrong. Knute's onto something, I think, with xemacs using the X Windows default window decorations. Last time I used the X11 server under OS X, all of the X Windows had the Aqua theme. I'd be willing to bet …
