Howdy.
Brent, I think you asked a very valid question but somewhere in that
question there is a concept about the Internet that I think is being
overlooked.
I'm not sure that a single "thing" or place or entity can monitor the
status of the "internet" in the United States and perhaps not in any
country although countries like China may be able to do this to some
extent or with specific services provided over the Internet. Perhaps a
small country could do this. Don't know.
The Internet's original concept, as conceived by DARPA and others,
(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), in my understanding, was
intended to be a network of computers where communications between
computers could survive nuclear attack even in cases where some of the
networked computers were destroyed.
So if all of the Internet server computers in the State of Kansas were
to be destroyed the Internet would still be working and running.
If the servers of one company were being attacked in a DOS effort,
other servers would still be working.
It's the interconnected flexible duplicative and automatic nature of
the TCP/IP addressing and routing protocol of the Internet that makes
your question one that may not have an answer. (Wow! I hope I'm
getting these concepts right!)
It's possible to monitor certain aspects of the Internet such as amount
of traffic and speed of the connection between different servers but
how could you monitor the status of something that is ever changing?
If you were to send the same email message copy 15 times over the
period of an hour, that message will probably take different routes
from source to target. Those messages could travel by many different
server computers by 15 different routes. If a mail server part way
along that route were to be down for service then the message would
take a different route and still arrive.
If you google search for the number of web servers in the US and in the
world you will be astounded by the numbers. I've seen estimates that
Google alone may have almost 1,000,000 web servers. Estimates that
Microsoft could have 220,000 or more servers running. I saw an
estimate from 2009 that Facebook might have 60,000 running servers.
These are in many locations. With tens of millions of web servers it
is a stunning number that begins to give us a peek at the complexity of
all of this!
Skynet anybody?

Actually, ARPNET preceded the internet and it was originally, as I understand it, for the US military and higher education for military funded research, and communications between certain military installations. I had an occasion to briefly, use it back then. Which surprised me that the college I was at had access. But then again, I was not far from Stanford or UC Berkeley, both of which I believe were a couple of the original ARPNET "signatories" for lack of a better term. At the time I lived literally around the corner from SRI. I think that was when I first heard the acronym DARPA.
I have just found a couple of sites that do partial monitoring of the US portion of the internet, none seem to be really directed at public users. Internet functioning is not my area of specialty, but what I would like to get an overview of is the nodes (like routers or switches in a LAN, but for the WAN), not the servers or servers (as in DOS attacks), but a current status of DOS attacks would be of minor interest to me.
Yeap, we have got the foundation laid for Skynet.
Now we are working on the AI: Wolfram, Siri, Google and Facebook. Isn't that right Master Sargent? And then there is the autonomous movement and weapons, flying drones, military research for robotics, and rail guns.
If I were paranoid, I would be worried.

There's always the possibility that a spammer, or some evil person invades the group, or that a bad link could, in some other way, be posted to the group inadvertently, or by someone's infected computer. Anyway, I just like to see where I'm being sent.

But the proponents of tiny URLs seem to have problems with that and fixing the line breaks.

Agreed. I think social engineering and a lack of chlorine in gene pool are tied for first place.
I don't know all of the list members that post. Some post enough for me tomake a decision whether or not to trust, and others not. I see lots of members here and on other lists that don't have any common or uncommon sense at all.
And every one of us has different skill levels and experiences. Hopefully, we are here to raise everyone's skill level.

Apple & Oracle Change How Java Will Be Updated
Posted by: "Denver Dan" denver.dan@verizon.net denverdan22180
Sun Apr 29, 2012 11:14 am (PDT)
Howdy.
Several sites are reporting that Apple and Oracle have agreed to have
Oracle provide Java updates for Mac OS X instead of Apple providing the
updates.
Here's one from ARS Technica
<http://arstechnica.com/apple/ >news/2012/ 04/oracle- updates-java- to-se-7-for- os-x-brings- full-jdk- support.ars
This should mean faster, more frequent, and more timely Java updates
which should help prevent things like the Java/Backflash malware issue.
Here's a note from Oracle:
<http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate >/press/1603497
I'm not sure about the time frame for this change for when a Java
consumer product with automatic updating will percolate down to Mac OS
X users.

The search terms you need to use are "Mac service parts"
The iBook G4 uses an intermal airport card, part # 661-3692, while the
mirror-door G4 has an AirPort card slot, for the Apple accessory AirPort
Card, M7600LL/C. These are two different cards, sorry.

I haven't tried it, Jon, but isn't the difference going to be whether or not it has a case or just a raw circuit board? And whether or not the is room if it fits the connector?
They are both about the same age, so they would have the same level of WiFi performance. Where the laptop probably had a raw board and unlikely, but maybe a carrier board, the Desktop probably had one in a case for user installation.
If you are using it for yourself and you don't mind taking a minor risk, i'd try it. If you are planning on selling it or charging for the repair, I wouldn't.
I have taken apart a couple of Airport Base Stations and pulled a few cards from older Apple Desktops and have found all kinds of configurations, including a Lucient branded WaveLAN card.

Re: Opera browser

Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:13 pm (PDT)
Used only very briefly a few weeks ago and seemed fine. It's character was what I remember from years ago. As I am pretty deeply committed to Firefox, I can't compare Opera to Safari. As Firefox has slowed a bit over the years, I thought Opera seemed a bit quicker (as does Safari) but this may have more to do with a three year old multi-plugin install versus fresh installs rather than core speed. Firefox seems to be improving rapidly again. Maybe a bit too fast, but seems all good so far.
Cheers,

I know just what you mean. I did not understand what he was talking about. I finally discovered that on the original browser display of the map, if you scroll down to the bottom within the browser window, then hover the curser there for a minute, there appears a tool bar including a button for printing and a button for saving.
This does not involve saving or printing the web page in any way. And those links at the bottom from the toolbar do work for this particular kind of PDF file displayed in a browser.

I fear that my computers will no longer be able to play DVDs soon so I'd like to get them to play thru iTunes. There are many that I have that I'd like to make sure I don't lose. I searched the iTunes store for Shogun. They don't have it. That seems to be true of a lot of the old shows which I have on DVD. Is there a place where I can purchase these old shows in the proper format? Or does Apple have a "old show store". <g> That's what I need.

Try Qwikster, I mean Netflix DVD service. I doubt you will ever find it on streaming.
Why not just buy an external DVD player for your Mac. I know mine in my MBP is pick as all get out about home burned DVD.
