Dude, there was 100+ spams today. Ridiculous! I'm all for any measure you need to take (short of closing the forum).
: I don't know what these people think they are gaining by burying our little
: forum in spam, but I'm making my first attempt to do something about it.
: As of today anyone wishing to post a message will have to create a profile
: and include an e-mail address with their posts. I have blind e-mail
: addresses, so no one can see your address, if they want to e-mail you they
: will have to do it from a forum web form. Hopefully this will stop or at
: least slow down the bots that have been mass spamming our board.
: I will look continue looking into other solutions. I hate having to do this
: as I would like any legitimate user to be able to post without going
: through a bunch of hassle, but creating a profile and including an e-mail
: address isn't the end of the world, and hopefully will have overall
: positive results.
: On an unrelated note we got Mac Pros in at work today. Those things freakin'
: scream. Now I can't decide if I want a laptop or a desktop.
Hold out for the next round of MBPs if you go laptop. Mines been in the shop 11 days now. On it's 2nd trip to Applecare no less. To top it all of, my non-pro Macbook has started exhibiting random shutdowns now too. Apple did the transition in 210 days, but I think some QC got overlooked along the way. I really hope this is not a trend for Apple.
: I don't really
: NEED a laptop as I do most of my computing at home, but the versatility of
: a laptop I find desirable. OTOH those Mac Pros are just so freakin fast
: and expandable...
: Leopard looks pretty cool too, I should have access to the dev release soon,
: I'll post anything I notice that Apple hasn't already told us about. For
: starters, read this:
