my mac going haywire
 

is not able to send emails.

or is it my isp?

either way, stuck behind the chinese wall.


hmmm...

You're wrong. Macs don't have problems.

everytime i use my ichat/aim, my network goes down... no joke.

What do you use for email?

Is it that .mac/MobileMe shit?

yeah, that .mac shit is what is terrible.

i never use the mail because it sucks, and now i think its whats screwing up my network because i use it for aim

ha ha of course. and the moon is made of cheese.

What does it say?

Maybe you should do first aid with Disk Utility.
Click 'Repair disk permissions', wait till it's done and then restart you computer.
Could be a bug.

all is well. it suddenly and unexpectedly started cracking again yesterday evening, after i failed to change the default port (somewhere, it was) from 25 to 2525. don't ask...

my old little toshiba running xp pro is DA MAN tho. ugly interface yeah, but the bitch is R-E-L-I-A-B-L-E. pop any interactive dvd into it and it plays. I FUCKING LOVE WINDOWS. ha ha haha. never thought i'd say that.

from now on i'm staying firmly poly-OS. you never know when you need what from where. just saying.

Oh !@#$%!, I never thought I'd hear you say that. WINDOWS ISN'T THE BOMB. Mac is. But that .Mac stuff does indeed stuff. Hmm, can you send mail through Gmail or is it just through a mail client?

A the web design company I work at, my boss PERSISTS in using IE7 as a default browser...totally unacceptable. He says his clients are surprised he doesn't use a mac.

!!

all is well now. mac mail had the shits. temporarily. it entangled itself with its own umbilical cord.

I'm not happy with Mac, at the moment, either. Fucking update your graphics drivers, you cunts!

retrogestion

I'm not happy with you at the moment

This thread took a surprisingly ugly turn.

Want to do something about it?

its NOT?????

Yes it is, it is made with half roqueforte and half st agur

so it turns out comcast (isp in the house i'm staying) blocks port 25 for send mail.

so i had to change ports.

thing is, it's not so evident how to change the port for the outgoing mail server. the option is there, but it's a bit hidden and i was more than slightly *cough* intoxicated.

you can't change the port in the server settings. you have to wait for the program to report the fuckup, edit server, go advanced, and there, and only there, you can change the port. the other method (google it) involves entering a long fuckwad of a string into the terminal window.

ah, good times.
