Choosing a random port seems to have ended attacks, but it hasn't been very long yet.

This might be mindnumbingly obvious, but I don't use this sort of ftp client. WinSCP3 uses some sort of ssh, correct? And can it be told to NOT do this? (Server doesn't play nice with sftp/ssh stuff.)
edit: OK, it looks like it is an ssh dooverdingy. So it won't play nice.

Um.
Is 512MB enough memory on a Intel based Mac running OSX? The machine will be used to test browser compatibility of a javascript-heavy site and (possibly) run automated testing software.

Depends on how much the automated software sucks up memory, of course. A good rule of thumb is buy what you can afford, but non-Apple vendors will give you a better price for extra ram.
I'm told OSX starts using excess memory to cache hard drive data to improve performance, so the more you have...
I've noted a lot of people recommending 1gb, mainly because you never know when you're going to need the extra, so grab what you can in advance.

Hey. New board.
Mine ran 512 MB for about a week or so. It was speedy.

You do rock. But what is the "but notifiy me when critical errors occur"? Does that mean notify microsoft when critical errors occur ? Or does it mean if I uncheck it windows will stop giving me error messages during crashes? I'm trying to figure out whether it is a trap to punish you for disabling microsoft notification by sticking in an option to turn off error reporting entirely? Or is it a trick to try and get you to at least copy in Microsoft when really bad errors occur?

. But what is the "but notifiy me when critical errors occur"? Does that mean notify microsoft when critical errors occur ?
I take it to mean, if something is bad enough, you will be given the dialog box, otherwise? not so much.
It soes not say "but notifiy Microsoft when critical errors occur".
If it notified Microsoft without your permissinn, there would be a large quantity of complaints about spyware.
