Which bounce back to me. 70% don't bounce back to me. There's a difference between faking the from address, and BEING fake addresses. For example, if a spammer sent out spam that looked like it came from [EMAIL PROTECTED], then they have faked the from address - but haven't used a fake address, as it is mine. If then 1000 people decide to bounce that spam, it enters the inbox of a genuine person being me. That 70% of emails don't bounce back to you doesn't mean 70% are real addresses, as some domains have a catchall - *ALL* mail going to them will enter someone's email address, even if it's not a person on that machine. Another danger of bouncing all email is that one day you'll start bouncing email back to others who automatically bounce email as well, setting up a loop that continually sends email between yourselves and gradually gains in size the more fake email you get. Soon enough you're bouncing megabytes and megabytes of email between one another and wondering why email is slowing down. Anybody can put anyone else's email address in the From: field of emails they send out, even other people's genuine email addresses. A spammer might send spam some day with a faked From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or other genuine email address you own). It would be a faked address, but all bounces to those 6 million spams would would go directly to you - just bouncing is a bad idea, and doesn't hurt the spammers one little bit. dana -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Bouncing spam certainly isn't causing a headache for spammers. On the converse I'm sure it makes them happy, by spreading their spam further for no effort! :). dana -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

It'd affect you very little. you can do somewhere over 50,000 bytes a second on 512k, so 64/50,000 is miniscule. If you do want to spread pings out, and are OK with using the terminal, you can open it and enter: ping -i 300 www.apple.com for example, which will ping apple.com at 300 second intervals.

What else is or can be used as a heat sink? I never thought about this before, just assuming that a fan to push hot air out the case was the only way to dissipate the heat in a laptop. Are there other components (literally something called a 'heat sink') that serve to handle the heat? Looking at the pics of a powerbook 15 disassembly on kodawarisan, the bottom photos on http://www.kodawarisan.com/PowerBook/16.html show the motherboard with the 3 hottest components in a row - the purple G4, the large black chip (I can't remember its exact name) and the white ATI graphics controller. Looking over the page at http://www.kodawarisan.com/PowerBook/17.html shows the heat pads that those chips physically touch - black/orange for the G4, blue for the black chip, and green for the ATI controller. they're connected to a metal band that transfers heat to the two blowers either side of the case. iBooks are a little similar, but they use chunkier looking heat pipes to drag heat to the single fan at the back of the case :).

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design

The trackpad that follows the contour of the case interior, the excellent keyboard, the curved case that somehow makes it more human-friendly, the feel of the matt black finish against your hand when you carry it. Altogether, a very pleasant, attractive design. I think so too. I don't find the current flat trackpad button position all that easy to use on modern machines or my pb190. The 540c had it just right, with the clicker curving down in front it just fits my fingers well :).

Re: next generation of laptop construction and design
On 07/06/2004, at 8:42 AM, Donald Keenan wrote: Hi! I've got a very genereal question and I'd be very interested if anyone has any thoughts about it. Looking at my Pismo, I now find the Titanium PowerBook vintage appeal starting to call me. These were troublesome in that they were easily banged up, scratched, etc. Is the aluminum as vulnerable. While I have no experience of machines I've owned, the problems with TiBooks seemed related to the titanium showing through paint chips, and the plastic (carbon fibre?) around the edge of the inside also showing through damaged paint. No matter how badly scratched an AlBook gets, at least the scratches are relatively the same colour :). Does anyone suspect that Apple will settle with light metal, specifically aluminum, from now on? Is there likely to be a new industrial plastic or composite of some sort that will be more durable and damage resistant? With apple being as image oriented as they are I think the metallic look will persist for a while yet. One more thing to differentiate them from 'plain' old iBooks for most people (although for me, the pure white glossy G3 iBooks were about the loveliest looking laptops I've ever seen) dana -- http://www.danamania.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I noticed the exact same problem (on my iBook 800, 10.2.6) a couple of nights ago when I plugged in headphones to do some compression work on a concert recording in Sound Studio. At first, I thought that six months' worth of being tossed into my backpack while I was at work had started to take its toll on my headphones, or that maybe the jack was going flaky. And another here. I see the same effect on both my new eMac and my older iMac slot loader. I can't remember exactly when the iMac started doing it, but I get the feeling it was somewhere in the last few jaguar updates. dana -- http://www.danamania.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
