Weird Email text
I'm on a yahoo group for the guild council at Curtin and it runs well but some of my Emails turn out strange and are pretty difficult to read through. I'm assuming it's something to do with attatchments. Is there any way to fix the problem or does the change have to be made at the other end. Any Light? Ruben A.

Re: Pending Mainstream Revolution
I read a convincing article recommended by someone on this list late last year that argued that Mac geeks are less likely to hack Macs because they feel they are members of the Mac community, whereas Windows people feel alienated by Microsoft, and hence have no respect for them. It's like graffiti. Rob If Apple becomes more mainstream to whatever level (and we keep crowing about our immunity from viruses), will Apple products become a target and what is the probability that they will have a similar success rate as with the disruption to MS products? Are Macs inherently less vulnerable due to better design or is no-one targeting them because there is no challenge in knocking out 5 - 10% of the market when you can knock out 90% with the same effort? Cheers, Alex Traditionally (in the pre Mac OS X days) Macs enjoyed some protection because they didn't have a commandline. Currently they enjoy some protection because they use a different processor to the Wintel machines, and thus exploits for Wintel don't work on PowerPC (although this is changing) In the future, the security will be reliant mainly on the 40 years of Unix software development which underlies the Mac OS X architecture, combined with the 'fresher' technologies borrowed from the NeXT, Linux and Open Source communities, regular security updates (provided Apple keeps those Security updates coming, everything should be fine :) and a move towards stronger security architectures and better use of encryption. There are three sources of security problems, Open Source code, Apple's code, and third party code. Usually Open Source security problems are usually rapidly patched, and frequently Apple rolls these fixes into the next security update. Typically these problems are also present on all the platforms, although it's not necessarily that the exploit for PowerPC is widely available. Apple's code has 'security through obscurity' (which doesn't help much), and Apple's internal security group are responsible for ensuring holes are fixed as soon as possible in the next Security Update. Apple also has a vested interest in insuring its OS is secure. Third party code, such as Microsoft's products are going to be hanging around for a while, and really, I suspect that's where most malware propogation is going to happen, as individual companies with a single product may have less experience, source code that is not open for inspection, and no real responsibility for overall security. Really, if the percentage of Mac users out there increases, then it's likely that the percentage of Mac crackers out there will increase. The thing is to limit the rate of that increase as much as possible.

Re: G5 shutting down
Good afternoon everyone My G5 has adopted an annoying habit of either going to sleep, or shutting down, in the middle of a session. Has anyone encountered this problem?

bluetooth phones and macs
HI everyone I would be grateful for advice regarding the use of bluetooth phones with the mac. Does the phone need to be isync compatible for use with the mac. ie to transfer address book and ical info to and from the phone and to send sms etc from the mac or can this be done in other ways for example using other software? I have recently bought the Motorola V620 which has bluetooth etc and am not sure if it will do the above. many thanks for help regards chris

Re: getting a domain/website hosting?
On 10/02/2005, at 4:51 PM, Mark Secker wrote: spoilt as I have been by having web space at work I am somewhat uneducated about the ways and wherefores of commercial/org domain registration. Whats the sort of cost involved in initial registration, annual renewal, support etc what is the best company to go through to get a Australian (.com.au) and/or US domain (.com) name registered? I will need a reasonable amount of storage (say 500MB+) for putting up pictures (both photo's and graphic) and some MP3s (my own compositions) but not expecting overly large traffic. Also thinking about having a couple of extra domain names that would simply be redirects to my real site or more specifically to a URL other than the root level of the site. So say, hypothetically: www.marxzmusic.com would redirect to www.marksecker.com/music/downloads and www.marxzart.com redirect to www.marksecker.com/art In my experience the US companies are still miles ahead in terms of service, cost and offering. For example I'm with midPhase www.midphase.com and this is what they have: Unmetered bandwidth (up to 60GB if a photography/download site) 3G disk space 24x7 support -- very responsive, within 1-2 hours most of the time Can install various PHP scripts Cpanel etc. Free domain name for life, etc. All that for US$7.95 per month. Gave me serious pause about upgrading my ADSL line to host my own websites with prices like that. Some of the other good ones are LunarPages, Hostony etc. Google for web host review and look for the under $10 web hosts.
