Most phpBB bots are pretty basic. Even if you have a bot that can beat the CAPTCHA, the bot will be confused if you make a simple modification to the sign up form. On the actual s…

Does the forum registration here not employ use of a CAPTCHA? Click to expand... It does. But there are two types of forum spam – automated and human. The CAPTCHA should stop a…

It does, but the captcha can be beaten using crafty image manipulation techniques and the use of OCR. The achilles' heel of captcha is that it must be possible to be read by humans…

I finally got my iMac G4 up and running. I installed 9.2.2 on a USB external hard drive via my G3. Starting up the G4 with the button pressed, the G4 did recognize the USB hard dr…

What model iMac G4 is this? I put in my 700MHz iMac G4 a pioneer that was in my early model LaCie D2(non dual layer) and it worked just fine.

I had this exact problem not but a month ago. Something about this particular iMac i guess. Nothing I did worked. I tried every trick I could find: booting from various install …

Compatible 512 MB modules must have a total of 16 chips, 8 on each side.

Apologies ahead of time for my ignorance on the details of which models are affected by what I'm about to say, but... ... isn't there some issue with some PPC Macs not liking the …

I think it was boot-usb? I was actually talking about it to a friend saturday night, he couldn't remember the exact command but he remember his issue well. Two iBook G4s, one coul…

Well. ~Coxy, you were correct. I tried a USB hard drive, zip drive, and CD drive. No Luck. The Mac would see only the USB CD drive, but would not start the disk. I tried OS 8.1, 9.…
