MacGroup: Region free internal DVD?

I'm not very clueful in this area, but very few seem to be. There seems to be little demand in the US to view non Region 1 DVDs. Japanese Anime seems the biggest area of demand, so it's not been that easy to find region-free players. A Java/Mac user in Atlanta found a player he likes: http://jas

MacGroup: Fwd:

I've received a few of these at work, though oddly not on my noisier spampot of a personal email. They appear to be completely empty to MS Outlook, no subject, no sender etc. Hen On Sat, 31 Jul 2004, Mike Watkins wrote: > George, > What Message? This is all I got in your E-mail. > Mike > > > O

MacGroup: Spam

Ah, _that_ title :) Yep, been getting a lot of them. Made more interesting as someone else has a bit of spam with much the same style that pretends to be a link to aye.net/juno.com etc but instead goes off to whatever horrible site they've hidden under the link. Looks like it's this 'W32.Mydoom.

MacGroup: Spam

Quite likely a virus. There have been a lot of this style recently, though I've not received this variant that I've noticed (I get a lot). Feel free to forward it to me if you'd like and I'll look at the attachment. Might be able to tell if it looks similar to other virus attachments I've receive

MacGroup: Users...

No idea what WAP is; used to be the name for viewing HTML on your phone :) (WML etc). WPA is just a reworking of the WEP system to fix a bunch of flaws in the design of WEP. However, WEP is still pretty servicable, especially when 95% of people are using no protection at all and for someone's hom

MacGroup: Safari Question

Unsure exactly. The + is very odd in there as googling I nearly always see something like: application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.4.2 Could you have typo'd that? + does sometimes mean > 1.4.2, so it could be something they've done (or they could have typo'd it). Quite possibly their applet-htm

MacGroup: firefox

Heh, just beat my reply :) Rewriting: "Gecko" engine. Camino splintered off before Firefox came about when Mozilla was pretty clunky on OS X (and possibly still trying to support OS 9?). I expect it to die someday or fold back into Firefox, but I have no idea on the group dynamics and technical

MacGroup: OS X 10.4

http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/ lists information about the next version of OS X, available in the first half of 2005. One interesting bit is the blurb about 64-bit support. I wonder if at some point this will mean that a release of 10.X will not work on G3s and G4s. Hen | The next meeting
