Re: [CGUYS] Dump WEP go to WPA or WPA2 if possible
No. MAC addresses can be sniffed in network traffic and spoofed. Not sure anything is bulletproof. It's just a matter of how important the info is and how bad someone wants to get in.

Re: [CGUYS] Top ten lists:
Betty, Right, mac, not MAC, not big Mac (the sandwich or the former steroid-enabled slugger). Thanks, yes, the list is in the right direction for crashes. It'd be nice to have a list of other problems, such as slow running computer, frequent freezing, etc., with the corresponding likely or possible causes. Regarding some of the problems you mention, such as bad ram, bad hard drive or file conflicts, how much of this do or can most computers indicate themselves or does the user have to know to take some action, such as checkdisk? Or, for instance, should one run certain things like checkdisk on a regular basis to catch such problems? This might not be so good for people who provide tech support, but wonder why, say, a computer couldn't be hooked up to some online diagnostic program sort of like how they hook a car up to computer diagnostic machines. The program would check out the computer's status, especially anything affecting performance, stability and safety and either make corrections or suggest them. Or at least indicate things that should be looked into, say, too little memory or whatever. I know there are some diagnostic programs you can run, but not sure how comprehensive they are. If they do exist and are not very expensive, I'd sure be interested in knowing about them! Speaking of diagnostics, my Windows Defender apparently became inoperative, so downloaded latest version and ran full scan, which picked up 3 possible problems not picked up in quick scan. Wasn't sure what the 3 things were it suggested were medium risk problems (refers you to the relevant Microsoft website, but once there, don't see any information on these items and didn't feel like spending an unpredictable amount of time tracking this down) so had program quarantine them. Subsequently, some programs (1 or 2 that I'm so far aware of) suddenly seem gone or inaccessible. Have noticed similar issue with running other antispyware or adware - insufficient information provided about what the questionable items found are, how important (or even whether) is it to delete or quarantine them, whether to delete or quarantine and what the consequences will be of deleting or quarantining them. Maybe this is because I'm using the cheap or free programs, but if all users should be regularly running antispyware, etc., yet it is not clear what the results mean or what to do with them, this seems like yet another dilemma.

Of course ten is an arbitrary number; maybe it's 5 for one list and 12 for the other. But it occurs that it might be good for a lost user (as I often am) to have some ideas of what to consider when yet another problem crops up. Hopefully, the lists would be based on the pooled experience of people, like many here, who have dealt with a lot of various problems. Just an idea. Bet this list could do a good job generating both lists. Okay, maybe would need separate lists for MAC and PC (or no problem list for MAC?) First, a Macintosh computer is a Mac, not a MAC. For MAC, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address. I have a pretty good list from a long time ago--maybe 1994 or earlier, when PC parts were much more expensive--and it's been helpful many times. This was a reply to a befuddled user several years ago: - Blue screens of death [crashes, etc.] can mean the program has stopped behaving normally, and is running random data instead of code. This can be caused by (in order of decreasing likelyhood and increasing horror): 1) Corrupt prefs or other files, often fonts 2) Missing dll, or file conflicts 3) Bad RAM 4) Bad external device or cable or termination 5) Bad hard drive 6) Bad power supply 7) Bad motherboard Be an acrobat. Keep your fingers crossed while reinstalling everything from your backup disks to a reinitialized or reformatted hard drive. Have you tried a different power cord or battery? - Randy - does that fit your requirements? I will add to the list that there are plenty of important documents online at a variety of help and mfg support sites. I bought a new Epson scanner last week, installed the software and discovered that it 'broke' Photoshop completely. I found parallel solutions at both Epson support and Adobe. The scanner works fine now. Add online support sites to your solutions list on YOUR web site. Betty

Re: [CGUYS] Neighbor Runs A Crackhouse [Was: How to Install Fre
The problem is, a LOT of the windows vulnerabilities require exactly the same thing that was required on the mac...a single click on a website. From the article: While this is a significant flaw that needs to be patched, it is unlikely that anyone who wanted access to a system would be able to set up such a Rube Goldberg event chain to gain access to a specific users' files. They set this Rube Goldberg event chain all the time on windows, how many times is it because of what users do to their own systems? Again: Windows does not do this. (ask for permission to install/change system files etc) Even the new and improved Vista does not ask for authentication. It asks the user to click Allow, after previously having asked the user to click Allow repeatedly. Guess what most users will do when prompted to Allow some executable to do some technical sounding thing in the Registry? So the author describes security on both machines as having to force user input to allow changes, but only the mac guy is smart enough to hit cancel? Ridiculous. Vista gains a critical area in security and apparently it's not *exactly* as on a mac so it's a complete failure? More: An anonymous user on Slashdot (an anonymous user..wow..hope he triple checked his sources. He should have perhaps checked a security vendors website or maybe even, oh...Apple?) described the exploit as involving a JavaScript routine. Sun's Java and Netscape's JavaScript share little in common apart from their names, but both are third party browser plugins that are not specific to Safari. Exploiting either one and calling it a Mac exploit is disingenuous. So who is being disingenuous? eWeek reports that it is not a java problem but a Quicktime bug. http://securitywatch.eweek.com/apple/quicktime_bug_affects_all_javaenabled_browsers.html The blog goes on to blame in several instances that 'third party software was to blame' for any exploit. That also highlights a fact many 'security experts' don't seem to grasp: installing software changes your level of security. While Macs are quite secure when kept up to date, installing software and turning on new services can open one up to attack vectors that Apple can't control for you. Third party software?? It was a Quicktime bug...Apple. So now Apple installed Quicktime is third party software? This from Newsfactor: http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=51967 As it turns out, by enticing a user to visit a Web page containing a maliciously crafted Java applet, an attacker can exploit the QuickTime bug, leading to arbitrary code execution, according to an Apple bulletin. The bug is considered very serious, Apple said, and can be exploited through any Java-enabled browser, including Microsofthttp://www.cio-today.com/accuserve/accuserve-go.php?c=6098 [image: Relevant Products/Services]http://www.cio-today.com/accuserve/accuserve-go.php?c=6098's Internet Explorer 7, Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's own Safari. The vulnerability affects Macs and Windows PCs. So now we have even APPLE calling it a quicktime bug. Looks like roughlydrafted is being a little disingenuous.

He doesn't print much, but the printer - scanner - meets his needs just fine. A friend has recently purchased the Xerox Phaser 6300 laser printer. He's pleased with that as well. He went with laser instead of hot wax because he has frequent power failure issues where he lives, and the hot wax printers waste ink when they are turned off / on. They are only efficient if left turned on 100% of the time. I hope this is helpful to you. Mical Wilmoth Carton [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Terry Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mac compatible printers -- recommendations? For those of you using Macs (OS X), what printers would you recommend? I currently use an Epson Stylus. Ink builds up and deposits excess on edges of paper. Cleaning heads doesn't resolve it. Can't clean rollers. Replacing cartridges doesn't minimize/prevent. This is my second Epson and the first had the same problem. Suggestions?
