With the release of Panther, Apple Mail has had a really annoying problem that causes Mail to prompt for the validaty of self-signed certificates and does not allow [...]
Went back to Macworld yesterday after work because I just had to spend something while it was in town. What’s the point of going to Macworld and not buying a single thing? While I was there I noticed a Halo tourney was going on. I figured that they’d already filled all the slots when the [...]
