Re: Phishing warning on WAMUG messages.

[Kyle Kreusch]

Hi, David and All WAMUG

Gmail has recently made changes to The way they detecte Phishing e-mails,
You can find out more here on the Gmail
blog.
But to put it simply no one actually sends you a e-mail when replying to
this list Their e-mail goes to "'wamug@wamug.org.au"" and then is Re-sent on
to you. that's why now Gmail is detecting that the e-mail is not sent via
the original e-mail address.

I would say it's pretty safe to ignore this message from all the e-mails
sent to WAMUG.


Hope this makes some sense, if not I will clarify some more after I get some
sleep.

I definitely sent that Powerbook for sale message, so it wasn't phishing in
that instance.

As you can see, I also use gmail, but I am not getting any of those
warnings.

Hi David,

I had a look at my setup when you sent me that message and it looks OK to me. 
The email is going through the correct server with the very same email address 
and password authentication as the cm200912 account. I am not sure what the 
problem is but others are also seeing this warning and think it may be a false 
positive from Google's phishing filter.

http://www.google.es/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=13963a50d8da1ac1&hl=en

If anyone else has any ideas please let me know.

Cheers,
Carlo

Re: Personal Library folder hidden in Lion

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Carlo,

I often check in this folder when wondering how some new software does
things - so it would be a nuisance to have it hidden.

Equally, having "turned on" the hidden file visibility in the past, I would
not want that clutter as a permanent feature!

However, as documented in this article

you can just turn the visibility on for this folder:

Show User ~/Library in OS X Lion
Launch Terminal from Spotlight or Launchpad -> Utilities, and enter the
following command to show or hide the directory:

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

The users Library folder will immediately become visible again. Reverting
this back to the standard Lion setting is simple too:


Hide User ~/Library in OS X Lion (default setting)
This returns to the default setting of hiding the user Library directory:

chflags hidden ~/Library

Changes take effect immediately again, and Library becomes invisible to the
user. 




Cheers



Neil

Re: Telstra starts censoring the internet

[Neil Houghton]

Yes, I have to agree.

I have used OpenDNS for quite some time now ­ started when there was a DNS
security scare some time ago ­ the scare soon came & went as the ISPs got on
top of it but I left it set up with open DNS anyway. It occasionally refuses
to load some sites which are on some phishing/scam type blacklists and
offers some tools when sites refuse to load.

OpenDNS has been mentioned several times on this list ­ in fact, I think
that is how I first learned of it.

Anyway, the point is, it has been offering various quite legitimate
services/feature for quite some time and I am a happy user.

So now we have the filter, it is apparently trivial to bypass it by using a
service like Open DNS. This fact ha been publicised by opponents/critics of
the filter.

So now we get articles like this on SMH:
<http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/telstra-optus-net-filters-
trivial-to-bypass-20110705-1h02i.html>

> An internet filter designed to block access to child pornography, which is
> being imposed on Optus and Telstra customers, is "trivial" to bypass, say
> civil libertarians.
And then

> It was a "pretty big decision to take" if a person who really wanted to access

> 


So, apparently, by using OpenDNS (as I have been doing for several years) I
am "hot-wiring" the internet and departing from the normal social behaviours
and entering the criminal world - and I would only be doing that to to
access child pornography or for some other nefarious purpose!!!

I find it particularly disturbing that the above quote, by the way, is
attributed to Spokesman for the Internet Industry Association (IIA), Peter
Coroneos.

So I have to agree with Paul. I think that is a technology issue that
concerns us all as internet users, regardless of your personal political
opinions.

Unfortunately, whilst the technology issue itself crosses the political
divide, when you start seeing quotes like thee one above, you can be sure
that politic isn't far away :o(


Just my apolitical 2c worth.


Cheers

OMG

Some people would say *simply *owning an apple mac computer is a political
statement

just try making fun of a PC based user with ''so youre using the dark
side?''

and see how some take the bait some dont

I would strongly suggest if anyone feels that comic or sarcastic asides
about systems, providers, and software *dosnt* involve an element of
politics,
then there is a serious issue more in* that *perception...

Re: Telstra starts censoring the internet

[Eugene]

This is a technology forum and I am open to any discussion that informs me of matters that may effect me.I applaud balanced, educated opinions related to technology even if they're political issues like National Broadband. How else will I keep informed without being influenced by our biased media? As the heading of this thread suggests Telstra is making decisions which will effect us and this is politically motivated - I do want to know about this and I do appreciated the very educated opinion of the WAMUG community.Let us not quash healthy open technology related discussion, if we start drawing lines on what can be discussed and what can't be discussed we might threaten the colour of this very valuable forum. How bland if WAMUG simply becomes a venue littered with threads on how to eject stuck DVDs.

Personal Library folder hidden in Lion

[cm]

Hi all,

Just to clarify something from last night's demo of OS X 10.7 Lion. Peter H 
said that he had heard that in Lion the Library folder was no longer visible in 
Finder. We had a quick look at the system Library folder (the one just below 
the root level folder) and nothing had changed. What in fact has been hidden is 
the personal Library folder, the one that is in the user folder  and usually 
designated ~/Library.

Even though the folder is not visible in Finder by default, it is still there 
and visible in Terminal. Also if you want to make it visible in Finder you can 
issue the following command from the Terminal:

   $  defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles true

Just be warned though, that if you set the ShowAllFiles option to true, you 
will see many other hidden files as well.

Cheers,
Carlo

Sorting books in iTunes

[Peter Hinchliffe]

The question was posed last night at the WAMUG meeting about sorting Author 
names in the list of ePub books in iTunes, according to the author's surname, 
showing the surname first. There is a way to do this. In order to help the 
following make sense, first view your books in List View, then choose a book 
(any book) and press cmd-I (Get Info). Click on the "Sorting" tab. Note that 
the Sorting screen is not really designed to cater for eBooks, so that the 
Author is listed as the Artist. Nonetheless, it's the Artist field which 
contains the Author's name. Note also that there is a "Sort Artist" field which 
shows the Author's name, displayed with the Surname first. 

So, to get this to display the way you want it in iTunes

1. Go to View >  View Options...

2. Click the check box next to "Sort Artist", and if you prefer, click on the 
Author checkbox to hide it.

Now when you look at your books list, you will see the Authors listed by 
surname first. Unfortunately, this only works in the list views (including 
CoverView). The View Options... Menu Item is not available in Icon View.

Lion "How to burn a boot disk"

Not sure if this will still apply when Lion is fully announced, but for
those that have more then one computer, this *may* still work when Lion is
announced "in the not too distant future". ;o)



Just thought I'd post as a few people were interested.

Re: Re Problems after updating

Hi Barry & Daniel,

I knew about this, but since Barry’s problem was corrected by the solutions I

As I have Parallels 6, with the  “Windows 7 Applications” folder in the Dock, 
and have not experienced this problem.

Re: Re Problems after updating

[Daniel Kerr]

Yes, I found that last night when working on a clients machine.
Dock kept crashing. Worked through and found that was the problem.
Removed the Windows Applications folder from the Dock as a "short term" fix.
Then updated Parallels.
All worked well.

Was a lot easier then the "solution" they had been advised to do,...

Kind regards
Daniel

Re Problems after updating

[Barry Sexstone]

Ronni

This may have been part of my problem with the dock etc.

"Parallels / Dock Incompatibility -- Many users of Parallels Desktop are 
reporting that after updating to Mac OS X 10.6.8, the Dock process starts 
taking 100 percent of the CPU, causing significant performance problems. The 
issue is related to the option in Parallels Desktop that makes Windows 
applications appear in the Dock (specifically, it’s related to icons larger 
than 128 by 128 pixels). There’s an update to Parallels Desktop 6.0.12092 that 
solves the problem, or you can set each virtual machine in Parallels Desktop 
not to show Windows applications in the Dock."
