    Interesting article on Mac OS X...

    kinda... Anyway, I just posted an article over at my friend's site Raging Apathy I'd love to get some feedback from some of the people on this site.

    Terminal & Console -what/why you need to use it for ???

    In short, yes, many, but no all, of the things the terminal can do can be simulated with an application of some type... But trust, many times, it's easier to use the terminal then digging through hidden panes for a particular setting. Also, for many UNIX ports, install itself depends upon...

    editing the hosts file

    Nope...no GUI for it...not even a 3P-solution yet. Just fire up pico and go nuts.

    what printer for mac os x and network and windows me-xp support?

    Your only real option is the HP1200...kinda. Any true PostScript printer will work, especially those with an internal network adapter. Brother makes a few REAL cheap network printers...although, from experience, they are terrible. They tend to have fuser issues within the first year, and...

    Disabling the Finder

    Just name Snax.app Finder.app and place it into the System Folder. This works for almost any program in OS X. Since apple isn't pushing the unique file ID heavily, you'll find ( until they fix this ) that this works.

    Manual about AppleScripts

    You can find it in a couple of places... First, and foremost, pick up O'Reilly's EXCELLENT 'AppleScript In A Nutshell'. This book is, from a long-time AppleScript user, GOLD. Even I learned a few new tricks from it, and it makes an excellent reference manual. There is also MacScripter.net...

    Mac OS X certification...

    Is they are a useless way to judge an employee. Two of the worst techs I have ever encountered were MCSE going on three years with the certs. They knew very little theory, and instead, relied heavily on Microsoft's documentation to explain to them just what to do. Perfect quote...

    Photoshop 6.5 in OSX...PIC inside before Adobe gets angry

    A developer has replaced the Aqua theme with something amazing. It's called Sosumi, and it looks like the attached screenshot. It can be downloaded from: http://www.dailymac.com/content/osx_features/dl_sosumi.html

    Make the other X Disk

    Is a pain in the ass. First of all, a minimum install of OS X is still around 30 Meg or so, depending on how many of the Darwin Util's you transfer ( I usually drag all of them ). For now, until Apple can sort out everything, you'll just want to create a bare-bones OS 9 disk. I keep one on my...

    (Apple)script and Terminal....

    I think what you are going to want to do is: 1.) Write an AppleScript which stores your needed escape sequence in the clipboard. I'm not infront of my mac right now, but, if you need it, email me later and I will generate the script for you, just let me know what sequence you need. 2.)...

    Alternatives to Software Base Station

    What he wants to have the G4 serve up the internet connection for the iMac. If that's the case, you have two choices. First, if you're on OS X, you need to buy a second Ethernet card. This will act as your G4's connection to the net. Next, grab an OReilly book on BSD, it will mention...

    Disable Live resizing

    First, and foremost, get a second external SCSI HD for your swap files, and follow one of the many tutorials floating about the net. Use TinkerTool to turn off Anti-Aliasing of fonts, use Welch's hack for window buffers, and then up your ram to the 8600's max. Then, you might be able to stand it.

    OS 10.1.1 Scsi burner support

    I just saw a helper app for SCSI Burners in VersionTracker.com's Mac OS X section. I don't have my Yamaha Lightspeed here, so I can't test it.
