    Intruders?

    Someone tried a denial of service attack on you. Smurf is a distributed form of DoS that uses a SYN/ACK on your router. Either you pissed someone off, or you're just unlucky right now. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Try to disable external ping responses, that will help tremendously. If you...

    XML Validator

    Hey guys, I'm learning XML for a CS class at OSU and was wondering what all of you use to validate your XML? I have to use DTD and RelaxNG. Unless there is an editor that is better suited that will validate as well... -James

    Learning Cocoa Programming

    I've been jumping around several languages in school, and I found that once I took an advanced learning C++ class everything came together. I highly recomend C++ above all over languages when learning Objective-C! It was a lot easier for me to understand the heap and memory management in...

    Help!!

    I've used it once, and it didn't really work for me. But then again I was making apps that responded to user input. If you're just doing something that spits info out or does something but doesn't take user input while it's running (CIN) you'll be fine. ProjectBuilder really isn't that great...

    Help!!

    Hey dude, just type your code into a text file with a .cpp extension. Then in the command line (terminal.app) you compile it with: c++ -o compiledName filename.cpp c++ is the program to compile the code. The -o and the file after that specify the app name when done. If you just go c++...

    QuickSilver Processor Fan about to take off?

    Wow, sorry I didn't see this sooner. You've most likely got some crud in the fan. There's one way to try with the FAN running, is to stick an object in just enough to shock it to a stop. Do this once or twice and then see if it still goes. If it does, shut her down, and remove the fan and get...

    Lombard PowerBooks and OS X

    Hey dude. I've got the 333 Lombard with 382 ram running OS X right now. I do 90% of my programming on this, and quite a bit of multitasking. My usual load is the MSN client, AIM, Project Builder, Mail, Terminal, and Internet Explorer. They all handle pretty well with only a minor lag which is...

    1000 Songs in your Pocket (Yeah Right!)

    Excellent point on the extra disk spinning! That hadn't even occured to me. The same goes for the WriteRight type adhesives. Thanks for the reply! I did find a new thing today that others might find happy with synch problems. I've noticed this happen a few times before, but in a really...

    1000 Songs in your Pocket (Yeah Right!)

    First off, I love my iPod. I use it so much it's crazy. But I have some beefs. I put my iPod in my jacket pocket for a couple of hours. It gets a little warm and iPod screen has to FUBAR. Now I don't know much about liquid crystal, but if I get the light on it right right, it looks like my...

    Does anyone rawcode anymore or what?

    I'm glad you mentioned that part about the commercial and free versions. I use Lite only because I'm a poor college student who spends his money on Games and RAM (because you can never have enough :-)). But the commercial version (from what I've played with in our awesome computer lab of Dual...

    What do I need to program?

    Coming from a guy that started with C and then tried for the longest time to think in the Object Oriented way, I highly recomend starting with something like C++ or Java. Between the two, C++ is pretty fast and would be a great little CLI tool. Java is a very fun language with plenty of...

    Does anyone rawcode anymore or what?

    When I took a class to learn HTML code as opposed to the simple things I could do thanks to my HTML for Dummies book, I learned that doing it all by hand is just WAY too much fun! But I found it to be very time consuming. Being one of those "down with IDEs" kind of guy I resisted using one of...

    How to Learn Cocoa

    Once you learn Java, you'll be amazed by how fast you'll be able to create a Cocoa app. You are pretty much using the Cocoa frameworks to design the user interface. If you just read a bit about Swing and how it uses objects and sets and controls properties of those objects, you'll be whiping...

    What Kind of App are you working on?

    Wow dude, thanks for the link to the Java-Cocoa source. I love Java, but Swing just doesn't feel like it's ready for prime time. The Cocoa application framework is just way too powerful and EASY to design. And it doesn't hurt to see how everyone else is getting along. I'm working on a sweet...

    REALbasic problems...

    Depends on which 3.x you bought. I bought the 3.0 series and I got free upgrades up until 3.2.1. 3.5 and above all require and upgrade (i.e. $$$). Off Topic: Maybe if realsoftware were to release a USEABLE app I would spend the money and do it. Instead of adding new features, just...
