Bump Keys are there since years. I am in the german lock pickers group, which is closely tied (by some) to the Chaos Computer Club. Bump Keys are only the tip of the ice berg, believe me. Certified rfid locks - one costs > 250 dollars - which are certified and are used in - f.e. - the white...

I am using the VLC player ;) But I want the User to be able to also use different players. Currently, it is possible to define a Player for each Format, while the standard config is to let "open" handle it. But I fixed the problem. It was a problem in the path-escape-function. When I called...

thanx, that did the trick :) now I am facing a different "problem". I seem to be unable to find a way to start the DVD Player from the shell with the parameter to open a DVD saved on disk. /usr/bin/open doesn't work, and I see no way of launching the DVD Player.app directly via a shell command...

Hi all, I am currently developing an application to manage movie-collections, including features to automatically encode contents into different formats etc. On of the next features I want to implement is DVD Import. Since I don't have to reinvent the wheel, I am searching a good, stable...

Why, did you have trouble with Apple Support? What happened?

Hmm, interesting... I can't imagine how app startup times could be faster...IF they really are, there is something wrong in the standard config. just out of interest: did you load photoshop without the virtual desktops, quit it, started the virtual desktop app, and then started photoshop...

Yeah, was a looong time ago. I'd say AT LEAST 2 years. I have to admit I took an outtime from the recent Macintosh developments since I had many projects on SGI. Allthough I still have my trusty Quicksilver (and my father uses my Powerbook), I haven't even found time to check out 10.3 and 10.4...

Hey y'all, I don't even know if anyone remembers me here, was a looong time since I have been here last time...glad to see Herve's is still around ;) Hope I meet some people I know from the old days, and of course I hope I meet some new people :) To the 99,9% who don't remember/know...

It depends. For most people, yes. Most people use the computer for tasks like writing documents, surfing the net, doing a little graphic work etc. For those people, an easy to use, stable operating system is more important than raw processing power. Other people, for example people in the DV...

Sorry, but your facts are wrong. First, the XEON is just a pumped up P3 (the old XEON i mean), and sure it should be faster, but 900%??? Also, raytracing is pure number crunching, a VW540 isn't built towards raytracing any more than a G4 is. When it comes to SETI, I should inform you that one...

Actually, Herve is my long lost, evil twin-brother, but he, his parents, my parents, all the people I know and the people I don't know deny this fact. So I am a dog. A dog. Ed really must have told you more about me than I realized... you...you....dog-to-me-saying-woman!!!!

I have no clue what a dawg is but it sounds right... :D

In your heart, I will always be with you...

Believe it or not, but people already visited me just to take a look at my SGI collection :) I won't count the kilometres I drove for all those machine...and if I am lucky, I get one of the limited IRIS Crimsons Jurassic Classic next week :) My second working Crimson ;) The problem is that...

O2 is a great machine, I got one with video module for about 350 Dollars, with R10K. Not very expensive for a machine which outperforms any current Quicksilver due to it's hardware MPEG encoding when it comes to video compositing. A friend of mine upgraded his O2 to R12K a few weeks back, and...

Ah, OK, the R3K Indigo. There are some tricks to get it to 6.3 by replacing the PROM on the board with the one from the R4K4, but this results and heavy problems since the R4K4 (or R4K, whatever you use, both should fit though only the R4K was supported IIRC) has a different coprocessor design...

Depends on what you install. The bigger the machine, the bigger the install...no, just kidding The basic 6.5 package has 6 CDs (Foundation 1 and 2, Developer Foundation, Developer Libraries, Appications, Install CD) plus the NFS Subsystem, makes 7 CDs, plus the four CDs from the newest...

The other two guys I work with and I recently decided to buy a "fun-car" with some money we had to "get rid off" before we have to pay taxes for it. Against my vote (I would have wanted a Porsche 911 or at least an Opel Speedster) we bought a dark blue Lotus Elise which should arrive within this...

Ed must have told you more about me than I realized...

You asked for it, now live with it!!! If you ask me questions about my life, prepare to talk about computers... (which reminds me, I must get that R10K out of my head) The fish are alright, maybe I can shoot a pic of them next week Did I miss any updates on your garden? Which version...
