"Macintosh[char++]"
"Macintosh[int++]"
That sounds scary... fortunately if you password is long enough it would take a lot to get it up to the last digit. Thats pretty strange though. I guess if I had a 1 letter password anything would work?
Hmmmm.... You probably should report this to apple!

I did but sorta regret it ... it's not SO unstable that it's unusable, but some features such as no Rosetta and the few bugs that make it annoying to use, do make me regret upgrading. Thankfully updates are coming regularly so things are only improving, and I dual-boot into W7 whenever something needs to get done bug-free.

Would you care to elaborate on this, and its security implications?
Also, if you modify your httpd.conf file (which *is* the best method, but rarely available in shared hosting environments), don't forget to restart Apache ;)
If the file is writable, it depends on the user who owns it. If it is writable by the user running the web server, someone might be able to write a shell script into that file. Now that it has execute privileges, it's not that far of a stretch to get it to execute.
A good rule of thumb is don't give any more permissions than are necessary. If it only needs to be readable, then there's no reason to give write or execute privileges. Many security incidents happen due to lax security. Don't be one of them.
Also, you're right on with the shared server piece. I didn't recognize that the original question was concerning a shared web server.

From the Apple.com Forums:
"OS X 10.3.6 says the following as one of it's improvements:
Improves ColorSync calibrating for Apple Cinema HD Display (23-inch DVI) displays."
A few reports in those forums say that indeed 10.3.6 did fix the pink tint problem for them.

Thanks for the help everyone, when I hit 250 posts I'll put this in the Marketplace and see if anyone wants it for parts or repair.
Before you jump ship, the good news is that you can drop any number of other motherboards into your Macintosh TV, as long as you don't mind losing the TV capability (and the value of the machine). An LC 575 mobo is an excellent choice:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MacIntosh-PERFORMA-LC575-MOTHERBOARD-820-0464-A-/310242340001?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item483be26ca1#ht_698wt_824
I don't think you need to spend that much money, but it's an example of a way to make your machine functional again.
I think you can replace the TV Tuner board just by itself. I keep reading that "they where a popular add-on for Performa owners". This seems to suggest that the TV Tuner card in a Macintosh TV is the same used in Perfromas and other early Apple computers with TV Tuners.
Unfortunately that's not true. The Macintosh TV was a complete different beast than the video add-on for the Performas. :(

I'm guessing it is something with no-ip then, what happens if you try to access the pictures via the IP address and port (if you are using no-ip to forward to a port other than port 80)?
The problem still persists when I use the IP address... good thinking though, I was hoping beyond hope that you'd be right...

I can leave my SSD as is (that is, I can continue to choose to boot from that and have it run Snow Leopard).
I can installed Lion on the Hard Disk and choose to boot from that if I want.
Yes.
Question: If my home folder is stored on the Hard Disk for when I run Snow Leopard with the SSD, how do I prevent home folder complications when I install Lion on the Hard Disk? Don't want it to mess up the snow leopard experience.
Lion will create a new Home folder to its own partition. You can, however, change the location of the Home folder to be the same as Snow Leopard's. I have done that since my Lion partition is only 50GB. That way all your data will be in the same location, no matter what OS you use.

To be honest, I don't think the hackers are trying to unlock the newer basebands. Sherif said in December that there would be an unlock for 3.10 Baseband in Mid January, but obviously that hasn't happened. I am very doubtful they will unlock anything after 1.59.00 before the next iPhone is released (iPhone 5).

I've been using the android release for about a week. Good app.
Off topic, I thought Adobe was "teh suck" around these parts with no programming talent whatsoever?
Or does that opinion only apply to Flash?

Thanks. So, the 27" iMac would support two external 22" hdmi/vga displays then?
Yes, the 27" supports two external monitors via TB. Each port can support one monitor and 5 other data devices (or no video and 6 data devices). You'd just need the appropriate MDP adapters.

Since both drives are internal, you can indeed dedicate one drive to Windows.
If you plan on using it frequently and feel like opening it, you can upgrade the ram and stick an ssd in for a significant boost in responsiveness.
Other than that, you could put Plex on it to replace the AppleTV, or use it as a file/webserver, etc.
I don't think I will need any of the server features, and I'm not to tech Savy, just deal savy. Unless there is 1 or 2 killing features that OS X server can bring to me I think putting on SL would suite me better and use less resources.
the user interface looks a bit different and has many program/Apps/settings that I have no clue what they are for. I think I will need to read up on it or take a few classes to understand what it all means.
I think I'm going to clone an SL OS over as it has no disc drive or would a clean remote install of SL be better?
I've opened many mini's before so putting in a SSD will be a great upgrade. I just need to get a cheap 250 GB SSD

iMacs have never had HDMI ports.

a family friend has had hers done. But she spent over a grand on them.
So it sounds like a good deal based simply on the grand.
But, she doesnt drink wine or coffee anymore.
That to me would be quite a sacrifice!
noooooo, i couldn't give up coffee!!
but actually i don't drink that much - only a cup in the morning and as i work from home i would make sure to brush my teeth afterwards if i were to get this whitening done. from what i've heard you only need to be on a 'white diet' for a day or so after having it done.
i'm just trying to get feedback from everywhere before i decide to definitely spend the cash...

yeah i ran across that review when searching. it's only slightly faster though, and a little harder to overclock. but i bet it would be good at folding. i wonder if many people are using them?
I wonder if cuda would run on the 9400? graphics chip? that would help get some extra ppd. Too bad you can't change graphics boards in that monster iMac, it seems like it could use faster graphics for that large monitor.

Does anybody know why?
P.S. I get about 1/3 the normal battery life running XP, 1/2 running Vista, and 2/3 running an unsupported OS - Windows 7 - on my MBP.No idea. I have even encountered anecdotal evidence where a Hackintosh notebook will have better battery life under hacked OS X when compared to Windows.
Though it only applies to certain models and if you can get the power management to work properly.

Yes, any Apple Authorized Service Center will honor the AppleCare. I have worked for two so far, and generally I would recommend them over the Apple Stores for most situations.
Note that he didn't say reseller. That would be a different story.
