Re: G5 quad with different S/N

2012-01-16 Thread Jeffrey balfus
I have a G5 with different serial numbers. The origin logic board died and was 
replaced by Apple, the new part has a different serial number to ID the 
computer.

Re: OS9

2012-01-16 Thread Cameron Kaiser
 The limits in the classic OS are controlled on a per app basis, in 
 the parameters you see when you do the get-info.  Those parameters 
 are simply *limits*.  They tell the memory management system that the 
 app may have UP TO that amount.  They do not require that the app 
 be given that memory.

You still have to have the minimum allocation to start the app, though.

Re: ie 5.0

2012-01-16 Thread Cameron Kaiser
 The oklahoma employment security commission insists on using only ie 5.0 
 to file for unemployment. Of course the link they proved only offers 8 
 or 9. I did find a 5.2 version but it is unstable and either hangs up or 
 crashes. Anyone still have 5.0 easy to find?
 In the mean time...
 I'm going to dig out my Mac Addict cds and see if I have a copy there.

You could also get one of the user-agent spoof add-ons for Firefox or
TenFourFox. Classilla can also spoof IE 6.

Re: Best MacOS x on a G3 BW?

2012-01-16 Thread Jesse

 You'll need to get a Radeon PCI card for the dedicated video PCI slot,

I thought i had seen one on ebay, dirt cheap, ill have to watch lemswap for a 
while its like a pci 7200 right? 


 If you replace the G3 CPU with a G4 CPU you can run Leopard 10.5.8 if you use 
 Leopard Assist or some other method to install Leopard
How do we go about this for the sake of posterity? And where would one purchase 
this upgrade? Tigers alright i have non-mainstream use of this computer, other 
than networking, mailchecking and recording and listening to muzak and using an 
old ipod. A reverse anachronism if you will.lol.

Re: G5 quad

2012-01-16 Thread David W. Morris
Liquid cooled G5's sometimes leak and the liquid is corrosive to the  
case and the motherboard.  It could be that the system you are looking  
at buying had that problem some time in the past and the owner took  
components out of one G5 and put them into the clean case of another G5.


Buyer Beware!  Make sure you are getting what you are paying for and  
ask the seller why they do not match.

Re: ie 5.0

2012-01-16 Thread David W. Morris
Many web browsers have the ability to spoof as different browsers.   
Maybe your web browser can spoof as ie 5.0?


Sounds very strange that an employment form would only allow one  
browser to work in order to fill out the form?  Even stranger that it  
would only work with a specific version of that browser.  Have you  
tried to fill out the form with a different browser, or version of ie?

Re: G5 quad

2012-01-16 Thread Illirik Smirnov
As an owner of several liquid G5s (although no quads; all Delphi systems),
I have never had any issues (although with the number of G5s I have and
their age, law of averages says I should be in trouble soon). I have,
however, seen one that has had these issues, and it's fairly obvious when
you open the case and remove the side panel. The key to successful
maintenance of a Delphi water cooling system in G5s is to ensure that the
computer has time to cool off (idle, sleep, or not be on) after prolonged
periods of high CPU usage. If the computer has ambient temps above 70-75F,
try to keep it cool by aiming fans at open side panel and back. Do not
remove the side plastic panel during operation because it routes the air
very well. If you do these, Delphi systems should work well; they tend to
fail only if used significantly more than average for their time (but as we
strain duals and even quads more and more, this becomes less and less by
modern technology standards).

  If you can go look at it in person, as opposed to buying blind over the
 net, I'd look very carefully at the liquid cooling system, checking for any
 evidence that coolant has started to leak, or run down inside the case.
 Best option might be to pull processors and the power supply to look
 closely at those as well as the inside of the case, but doubtful they will
 let you do that prior to a sale.  Check which cooling system is in
 there...Panasonic is probably a plus.  Though I've got a dual 2.7 with a
 the Delco/Delphi system that has no problems so far (knock on wood).  If
 possible, get them to start it up and smell around that part of the
 machine...or for that matter smell even if not running, as the odor of
 burning antifreeze is distinct and lingers.

You haven't dealt with state bureaucracies and their oddball software very 
much, have you? 

At the university I work at (as a database and web programmer, no less, all of 
whose products work with most platforms...I've even tested my stuff against 
lynx...which is a great way of quickly ensuring that your website is probably 
ADA-compliant, btw*) we have several enterprise sites that only work with IE 
on Windows. 

One group even has a widely used PDF form that will only work with IE on 
Windows.  

The state's physician registry has a public facing physician search page that 
does not work with anything but IE on Windows..or did as of about a year ago, 
the last I checked.

(the latter prompted me to write a rather strongly worded email to the 
webmaster of the site about public access to public records, and I got an email 
back, basically saying 'I know, I know...I've pointed it out a bunch of times, 
but the so-called 'programmer' that the board hired cannot figure out how to do 
anything without his pet programming tools which only work on Windows'.)

*This is why, when I last counted, I had something like 20 web browsers 
installed on my development system, across 5 operating systems...

 I want to export only the email addresses in the inbox for my business

 Everything I am finding is talking about exporting from AddressBook, which I

 addresses. I can dedupe the addresses, but I have to get them out first.
 
 Short of importing the whole 14,000 into AddressBook, then exporting them 
 from there, are there any options? I already converted the .emlx files to an 
 mbox, but am not having luck exporting from there.

geeky way to do it:

I R A Perl haxor, all nails must be hit with the perlhammer. It looks like the

To install the module do (In terminal)

sudo cpan install Email::Address 

And accept all the defaults...

Also the 'previous recipients' data might be exportable with some terminal
