OOhhhh fantastic. I was really hoping something like that existed, GO APPLE. I spend alot of time looking for something like this on os x hints but I guess I was searching for the wrong things. Thanks guys

I find my self using screen a for things such as rsync and synergy but I struggle to find a way to programmatically create a screen and execute a command in it. From the documentation I see that you can use the '-X' flag to tell a session to execute a command, but I haven't been able to work...

I find my self spending quite a bit of time in the terminal, and the work I do has me constantly taking some bits of information from the terminal and pasting them into other applications. I'm looking for a nice way to get text from the terminal to the clipboard. Something like: "pwd >...

I was pretty sure that was they way things were handled in a multi-core environment but I just wanted to be sure. I'll be using this machine for personal use so I'll be running everything from games to Final Cut Pro and multiple instances of IntelliJ (IDE) when doing some work from home. I'm...

So I've been thinking about getting one of those new sexy Mac Pros with the Dual Quad-Core Xenons. But I find my self asking if I really need it. I'm curious just how the multiple cores will be used. Does a program have to specifically be able to take advantage of all 8 cores? Or are some...

I realize that nearly every topic here starts with the same words, but the subject does say it all. I finally got a new laptop and as can be expected i'm interested in all the things intel has to offer. I've obtained VMware Fusion and been using windows XP and SUSE VM's on that. I'd like to...

Guess I'm S.O.L.

OOOooook. I think I've got a good one for you guys. First, the laptop. It's a G4 Powerbook (Aluminum?) with 1.63ghz and 1gb ram. I'm running the latest OS X (10.4.?) is the number i think. I just recently got a new battery for it cause the old one wasn't lasting longer then an hour. I used...

Thats what i thought. I'm not so much after anything specific, just trying to find things out. Something else i just thought to ask is weather or not naitive mac applications can be launched using KDE or something of the like. I'm begining to think X11 has somewhat of a virtual machine...

Ahhh i see. Is it possible for naitive mac applications to take on the behaviour and window flavor of another window manager like gnome or kde? Or does it only go from X11->Aqua

I've been browsing for a while but i'm still a little confused. Basically i'm trying to find out if i can run unix applications on aqua, such as gimp and gedit. I'd also like to know if i could use a winodws manager such as fluxbox on X11 and run both unix applications, as well as run my OS X...

Does Cedega work if you run it on a linux distro that works with the power pc processor? OK, so it doesn't, went to the Cedega FAQ, silly me.

I know what the subject says, but i'm pretty sure this is a *nix question. Basically, i installed the latest release of python because i need to use its sorted() function. From the command line when i type python scriptname.py it uses the older version of python. I order to use the newer one i...

Ok, i've looked into it further and my Airport will not allow me to forward ports if i use a range of IP's, i just don't knwo why its doing that. I went through some boxes from my recent move and it turns out i have a netgear router that has the ability to assign an IP to a mac address, which is...

It seems that if i use a range of IP's instead of letting the router use them all, i am unable to use port forwarding. Whats that all about? Seems like theres no way for me to port forward and use static ip's.

What information would i have to supply ifconfig with? Just the ip i've chosen and the mask? Or do i need to also set up something along the lines of next hop?

So while my airport is assigning IP's via DHCP to my windows and mac computers, i can have the linux just use a static ip?

Ok, so i have a windows box, a powerbook, and a linux server running in my room. I have some spacific ports forwarded to the linux server's ip. My problem is, the server's ip keeps switching from *.*.*.3 to *.*.*.4 So i have to keep changing my port forwarding addresses. Is there any way to make...

My laptop is a power book, i got it around june of last year. I'm not really positive on the time, but its for sure not a year old. Also, i'll try resetting the P-Ram once i get home and back up, then i'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Recently, for what seems like no particular reason, the screen on my 14" G4 Laptop running 10.4.4 started blinking. Blinking being, going completely black, then back to the way it was in under .25 seconds. Now, my first thought was a hardware problem. After investigating, i found the rate at...
