I'm looking for a good font for the Terminal app. I don't think Monaco or any of the other fonts Apple provides are good enough. I'm looking for a font like the "Terminal"-font that is just in i.e. Yellow Dog Linux' command line/terminal by default. Does anyone know where I can get that font...

Ok, there's something in OSX that drives me mad. When I want to rename a file, I click on it and expect the blinking cursor to show up. It does, after at least two clicks. The problem is that it often dissapears at once, so I have to click at least two more times. This is extremely annoying if...

I'v got a DivX movie which I'd like to see. The movie thinks it's an .avi movie, which is ok (I suppose). This of course, makes QucikTime think it's a QT file. I have tried several DivX-players, but none works correctly and now I'm starting to believe there's something wrone with the file...

When I participate in a thread, I'd like to see when someone has replied. I therefor click at the "subscribe to this thread"-button. Then I can easily access the threads from my user cp. - But at the same time, my mailbox gets filled up, which is not very nice. Is it possible to only subscribe...

I have some Java questions which I hope someone can answere. :) 1: I have two windows (so far) in my program, and they are in the same folder (package). I was thinking of moving one of them into another folder. Let's say I did that, and got these folders: MyProgram/Window and MyProgram/Color...

I'm wrinting a very simple Java Application for my Mac OS X with Swing. The compilation goes well, but I can't run it, due to an error. I can't seem to figure it out, and it's drivin me.. :mad: This is the error I keep getting: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. I...

This is totally beside everything related to computers, but I thought I'd post it anyway.. Does anyone else here love biking? I'm not talking about mototbikes, but "regular" bikes. I saw that Tormente had a bike, linked from the "Picture Of Your Setup"-thread (here). So at least there's one...

I accidently came across a great program called PPP Genie. It's a small, simple, Cocoa-built program which displays your online-time in the menubar or in a separate window. It may not sound fantastic, - but it is. PPP Genie also displays your in and out flow of packages (check out the...

I've been looking for some simple Terminal scripts on the net, but I haven't found any particular useful (not yeat at least). Is there anyone here who could you post some example scripts or give me some links? I'm reading a book about the subject now, so what I need is not a tutorial, but simple...

I downloaded a package of really cool icons from the iconfactory today (called iPlatinum btw). I copied and pasted some of them as my hard drive icons. But two strange things occured: 1: The icons dissapeard until I logget out or re-started the Finder. 2: When I logged in as another user the...

I re-installed OS X, all the way from 10.1 to 10.1.4. During the 10.1.2 installation a strange error occured at the very end. It could not find a file or something, but no name or error was actually listed. I had to force a restart, and I was prepared to install it again, but installing 10.1.3...

...Lemmings? Anyone else remember this fascinating game? I remember I used to play it a lot early in the nineties on my neighbour's PC. I located a version for Mac, download and played. I know it's a game for kids, that the graphics isn't all that fantastic and that it only runs in a bad...

After houres of everyday use for about one and a half year my MiniDisc had started to become a bit.. tired. (So much for that quality!) So I have been thinking of an mp3 player instead, - like iPod. It just sounds great. 10GB of disc space. Houres of music. And it's like an extra hard drive...

It has occured to me that it would be better to have two partitions, one for OS X and one for OS 9, than just one for both. (Yeah.... maybe I should have thought about that before... :)) Anyway. How big should these partitions be if you have a 40GB hard drive? Would this be ok? 2 GB OS 9...

I tried to install MacGIMP here the other day, but it didn't seem to work. Searching this forum for some help, I discouvered that other people have had the same problems as I. Though I couldn't find the answers to all my questions. MacGIMP, and appearantly XDarwin got innstalled. I can run the...

Hi, Why Apple doesn't ship their newest machines with Floppy Discs is totally undertandable. But some of us still needs to use them... The Floppy Discs work fine in OS X, - as long as they are Mac-formatted. Why is this? In the older systems you where able to read files that where located...

You're probably tired of the endless questions about root.. But I've got one more.. I have read several post about root and how and why you shouldn't enable it. And I've got the point; security. But let's say you enabled root, and logged in a couple of times. Later you decided to login as...

I have a small problem. How can you change a users shortname? The name is easily changeable, but the shortname isn't. Pretty logical, I know, but how to change it without messing up the system too much? And another thing. I read that you shouldn't log in as root, due to the security. But...
