What size were/are the porn files?

W - you have AdAware and Spybot at minimum I presume. [Pest Patrol would be good too - but is not free.] Update them, reboot into safe mode and run them. If you use Internet explorer, stop (except for updateing your windows). All of the preceding assumes you have some version of windows, cause if you run on a MAC you don't need to worry about any of this

The running in safe mode is important. There are all sorts of ways the things can come back if you run anti-spyware in normal mode. Also update and run your Norton or MacAfee.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am going to take the plunge and buy a printer to use with my Powerbook. I only need something basic, and will rarely if ever be printing anything other than Word or PDF documents (no photos). Does anyone have any suggestions or ones I should steer away from?

Okay, Tivo to Go...

1) The picture is narrow and not good quality when I watch a program back

That sounds like a codec issue. Try searching TivoCommunity.com because I know people have posted about the same issue.

2) Is it possible to convert the files to .avi or .mpeg? This service is no good to me if I can't find a free way to arrange my own library.

Officially? No. Unofficially? [link] and [link] have some info on doing conversions with GraphEdit.

Trust my rage

Perkins, I'm not sure how much you want to spend, but we have been completely happy with the Brother 1440 laser printer we bought last year. I think it's more than an inkjet, but you never run out of ink and it's fast. Of course, it doesn't do color.

Hey. New board.

Don't suppose anybody has any idea why Apache httpd would keep giving me this error on Mac OS 10.4.1:

Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000

The rest of the log seems pretty unhelpful, as does Google. I was hoping 10.4.1 would fix whatever my problem was, but no luck.

Thinking of trying a reinstall, because this is actually annoying enough to warrant it (I like having a simple webserver, dangit) but I can't find my Tiger disc at the moment.

Thanks, Stephanie! I have been leaning towards laser printes, because of the no running out of ink thing. I will look at the Brother one.

Mostly lurking...

Thanks for the help, Daniel and Typo Boy. I'm gonna try those things today. As for size, they run anywhere from 825K to 29MG.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I searched for Apache and EXC_BAD_ACCESS and found this problem for 10.3, I wonder if it's not worth trying, for now? Basically just replacing a single file.

Look here:

Rather than just replacing the file, you might just find it and rename it.

Remember to tell the find file to look for hidden files, as it might be such.
