Having Apache running on your computer, and the appropriate ports open on your firewall does theoretically make your computer more vulnerable, but in reality it's definitely not a "sure fire way to get hacked". As long as you take appropriate security measures, like having your firewall set up correctly and turning off things such as Server Signature your chances of getting hacked are quite slim. Apache is what powers a large portion of websites across the world, and if it in itself was that vulnerable websites would go down a lot.
Having a dynamic IP will greatly decrease your chances of getting hacked, as well, because it will change each time your modem gets reset, making your virtually un-findable for any would-be hackers. (Unless you use some sort of DynDNS service that is).

Well, MS Office is a piece of software, so you kind of still have to "use this or that piece of software". If you find NeoOffice/OpenOffice (they're the same thing - NeoOffice is java-based, and OpenOffice uses X11. The only difference is that NeoOffice is a little behind on versions) handles formatting fine, then use it, and you won't have problems.
And guess what, they're both free. So why don't you go and try them out. Who knows, they might surprise you.
BTW all, dont forget Codeweavers and the other project "Cider" by another company. I can currently run Office 2003 (Outlook is the only one that complains) currently on an MBP without Windows at all 8-)....and if CIDER appears to be what it is, more and more Windows type programs can offer a wrapped version that will run naitively on Intel OSX.....say what you want...but as more and more options like this become available....Windows as an OS will just not be as important anymore....

This has got to be a decoy patent. Because if it's not:
(1) How do you design a case to protect it while exposing the bezel 360 degrees around so you can touch it? No coverage in front? Actually, a case couldn't even have a lip to hold it on because your finger would have to get in there to press upon the bezel.
(2) How do you realistically even pick it up or move it if pushing the bezel on nearly any side activates these programmed dynamic buttons? You'd have to Lock it every time you want to touch the thing so you don't activate some function.
This would be a terrible form-does-not-follow-function idea.
Your comments don't take into account that Apple is also going to design in the ultimate intuitive interface. The device will KNOW what you mean for it to do when you touch it. It will intuit just like a thermos KNOWS whether to keep the hot things hot and the cold things cold and is ultimately simple.

For what you want to shoot, the nature and still stuff, a tripod is more important than IS. Keep in mind that IS only stabilizes the camera, and not the action. My feeble brain reminds me that dressage is a horse competition thing. To freeze the action, you need a fast shutter speed. IS will help a bit with this, but clean action shots of moving things are achieved with shutter speeds above 1/500 second. More like 1/1000 for jumping horses.

A package of gum and take the change in cash. ;)
Thats my vote. I did this when my aunt got me a gift card for a movie theatre. It was for $50 USD or so I think, and I just bought a small popcorn and left with about $48 in cash.

Why won't it update to 10.6.7? I am confused.
I assume it's a custom build for the new SB processors. Likely see an update within the next week to bring them all to the same build.

I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about PNY RAM, and $50 is definitely a good deal (and Newegg is the best).

I will be there too. I was there for the grand opening and the line was really long, even a few hours after doors opened.
Do you guys expect a line as long on Friday for the 5th Ave store?

Like many of you I have installed an SSD as my main boot drive with a spinning disc for large file storage.
I am experiencing some issues on how to organize my files.
I want to keep documents, downloads etc on my SSD. I want to move my music, pictures and movies folders to my HDD. THe problem is my mac won't let me delete the music, pictures, movies folder on my SSD saying OSX needs it.
How do I convince OSX that those folders will be in my other drive from now on?
I guess I could move my hole home folder and make new "documents" and "downloads" on my SSD but I am looking for a more elegant solution.
thanks in advance.
P.S. also microsoft word updates wont work, gets stuck looking at both HDs and won't let me choose one for installation. what is going on there?

There has to be some incentive to work harder. Taxing him at 50% or so would be OK though.
At that level, I am not seeing the need for incentive, please explain why billionaires need incentive to work harder?

Thanks all.
Someone PM'd me directly after this post and I am going to buy (at a fair price) some new headphones from him.
Since I am a man of my word, I am not going to back out of that deal!
Thanks again!

ca.gizmodo.com. It also has the old page style, which is a major plus. Why they crammed in all that javascript is beyond me. I only visit once or twice a day now, and it's with the mobile site on my phone.

They way they have it designed, if you click on "More" at the bottom of each forum section, then you can navigate to that forum. Bonus Tip: There's a groovy bright yellow on mouseover of "More". Check it out. :cool:

To wipe your data and reinstall OS X: (this is what you'll want to do, so it's set up as if the new owner was buying a brand new mac)
Insert the OS X install disc
boot your mac while holding C
Go to utilities > Disk utility
Select your hard disk in the top left
go to the erase tab
choose Mac OS X Extended (Journalled) and any name you want ("Macintosh HD" is probably preferable)
security options > Zero out data (only if you're paranoid about the new owner being able to recover your data, if not don't bother)
erase
then continue the install process
I dont have the option to go to Utilities. It goes right into OSX install. Should I continue the Mac OSX setup?

I did a search (although my search may have been less than perfect) and didn't find a thread on this, so here goes...
Twice in the last 10 days my MacPro has locked up while browsing Safari. Fans go full speed and sounds like it's going to fly away. I have to hard shut down and when I do, the power light blinks off and on. No sequence, just off and on. I do a power reset by unplugging the tower for 30 seconds and pressing the power button to clear memory. Startup and all is good. I can't find anything in the logs that indicate a memory issue or possible graphics card problem.
Any suggestions?
P.S. I'm using an early '08 MacPro (2.8 8 core) with a WD SSD boot drive, 8 gigs of RAM and have the ATI Radeon HD 3870. I also ran Rember to test memory and that said everything was good.

make sure you also have LESS than 512 MB ram in it. I've tried to install Panther on older G3 powerbooks several times and had to remove ram chips to get it to complete installation. After installing panther you can put the ram chip back in. Weird, but it works.

Actually just read another post about 64-bit and 32-bit kernel and wondering if that is the root cause of my issue?
I will try the 32-bit when I get home later.
Incidentally, will I notice much difference between 64-bit and 32-bit?
Will update later :o)
Lol, welcome back. The only benefit to 64-bit is the ability to utilize ridiculous amounts of RAM. There are a couple minor processor benefits as well, but nothing worth noting for the the majority of purposes. HERE (http://lifehacker.com/5431284/the-lifehacker-guide-to-64+bit-vs-32+bit-operating-systems)is a good guide to the differences.

Hello! I just started the Windows Gaming on a Mac FAQ. Find it here:
http://guides.macrumors.com/Windows_Gaming_on_a_Mac_FAQ
It seems like that there is a limit on the amount of content that can be added to an individual page. I looked through the help guide, but don't see what I need.
I'm taking a block of text from a text edit document. When I try to copy and paste it into the MacRumors Guide, it does not appear. This is after I've all ready added a lot of text, hence the "cap" question.
Can someone verify that the amount of text on a page has a cap? And if it does, how do you get around it. Can you add related pages?
Thanks!
