Hello friends, I've scoured the internet for Leopard or OS X.5-specific information about using CUPS to set page-limits for a shared printer. The short story: i'm using an old iMac as the CUPS printer server. attached to it via USB is the printer (HP LaserJet 5200.) I'm sharing this...

And how about successive tabs?

Using the default login works fine if you don't need an interactive shell and you have a .bash_profile file. This is actually what I did; just used the default settings in Terminal and copied my .bashrc file (now unused!) into a new .bash_profile file in my home directory. Now, all windows and...

Greetings, I've been trying to find some hard and fast information about the implementation of the bash shell in Terminal of 10.5. Right now I have several complaints, namely that the new Terminal is lousy about using the .bashrc file. There are two places now (as opposed to one in the old...

That's right ladies and gentlemen, it has been but several months since my first post (distraught with angst over my demised iPod [the first one]) and my second replacement iPod (the 3rd overall) is throwing fatal errors every attempt to update or "add" songs to it. "The disc cannot be read...

Apple is nothing but a bunch of nug-tugging weanies! I get my iPod back after 4 days of them "looking at it" and how is it? Broken! I don't think they even looked at it... it was on the same screen, in extras in the clock area, as when I sent it in! It took 3 hours on the phone with...

I expect it to last longer than a year... especially if I dropped $400 bucks on it. Seem too much to expect?

So, Apple is sending my iPod back to me. They say that after wiping it and reinstalling everything (something which I've done myself) it works fine. What I tried to tell them is that they have to try to put music on it, then disconnect it and connect it again and it'll die... they don't seem...

Hmmmm. That's truly disgusting! I suppose I should be happy that mine's lasted this long.... BUT I'M NOT! ....

Apple recently sent around a coffin cart for my 1 1/2 year old 4th generation iPod clickwheel. Fortunately, I had the sense to purchase the extended warranty for the thing, so they'll be kind enough to send me someone else's broken iPod which they've Frankensteined back into *working* order...

Oh. Sweet. I'll check that out. Thanks! -S

Okay, Answered my own question in a way... though it's not elegant and I'm not satisfied.... The above can be quasi-accomplished by using the Automater.app. Right-click the desktop and scroll to Automater and click 'create workflow'. Then, select the 'finder' from the first menu on the...

Hey guys, I know we'd all rather type at a command line (.....) but occationally picking up the mouse is a necesary task. Unfortunately I've been spoiled by my linux box where the shell is only a right-click away at any time! Does anyone know if it is possible and if it is, how to hack...

Unfortunately, my experience has been that PPC linux has been a waste of time. It's really a bastard child, with most efforts being directed at X86 development and, recently, more to OSX than to PPC Linux. Many applications are kind of broken, support is minimal (I've tried four flavors!) and...
