Re: More mass bounced emails...

2011-06-26 Thread Geke
 Got another huge boatload of bounced emails today from 
 trinettejohn...@fuse.net - some dating as far back
 as August of last year. This also happened around April 19 of this year.

Maybe the mechanics are like this: some robot sends our G-list
postings to that Fusenet address (postmas...@fuse.net) which then gets
overloaded and sends us a The user(s) account is temporarily over
quota message for each of those postings.
(Fortunately, mine are promptly moved to my spam folder. Google Mail
isn't perfect, but on such occasions, I'm really happy about it!)

So it looks like this is in fact an attack aimed at fuse.net rather
than at us; the originator uses our posts as ammunition to try and
overload their server.

Re: Interesting Problem

2011-06-26 Thread Sean Carroll
Sorry, Chuck - I misread the part about the Safari update difficulty,  
which sent me off into outer space with a lot of irrelevant speculation.


3. Have you ever run the program Monolingual in Leopard, or indeed,  
in a previous OS X that Leopard was installed over?


That would be a yes.


This may or may not bear on the interesting problem, but I have heard  
that use of Monolingual can have unpredictable consequences on  
subsequent updates. I ran Monolingual on Tiger 10.4.11 and haven't  
noticed any trouble since, but I was fortunate to run across an  
article on prudent and cautious use of Monolingual before I tried it.  
I haven't run Monolingual on Leopard 10.5.8 (which I didn't install  
over Tiger but on a fresh partition), but then again, the old Tiger  
Home folder did migrate to Leopard. Still, though, no obvious problems  
have been noted as a result.


I'm glad Bruce chimed in on the client question. I wanted to say 'go  
ahead, don't worry about it,' but looking at the Apple download page,  
I got confused myself. They make it confusing. Everything is somehow  
recommended for all users. Gee, that helps.


Very frustrating, waiting on the slow progress of updates. But is your  
dial-up connection really *that* slow ordinarily? I had great,  
reliable dial-up service with Earthlink for years. I think it was  
about as good as a dial-up connection can be. Even so, dial-up is dial- 
up, and any big updates or other large downloads were projects rather  
than routine tasks. I remember it well, and with no nostalgia.

Re: G4 933 to G5 1.8

2011-06-26 Thread Justin Porterfield
The advantage to the FX 5200 is that it fully supports both Quartz Extreme
and Core Image, where the GeForce 4 only supports Quartz Extreme. Leopard
uses these features to accelerate UI features but I don't know how much
Tiger takes advantage of them. The Ti4600 would probably be faster for
gaming but I honestly would stick with the FX 5200 if you're going to use
Leopard. Also as Valter said there might be compatibility problems with the
slot.

 AFAIK, the G4 Ti (I own a Ti 4600 128MB) is way faster than the FX 5200.
 The FX 5200, although newer, is really a very-low-end video card.
