    internal speakers stopped working

    What version OS are you running? I ran into this problem on an old machine running OSX 10.5 and the fix was simple. Opening the Speech Pref Pane and clicking the Calibrate button turned everything on again. Not sure why but it worked, found the solution via Google.

    I can drag them into an editor on my machine or alternatively double click the character you need.

    www form of macosx.com not resolving

    Try http://www.macosx.com/forums/ and see if it resolves for you. Update: It's some kind of funky behavior with Firefox, maybe the latest nightly, not honoring a 301 redirect.

    Airport Problem

    Have a look through this thread and see if anything helps. http://macosx.com/forums/mac-os-x-system-mac-software/313412-airport-netgear-dg834g.html I used to have the same problem but it's all fixed now.

    Get Safari 5.0.1 for Extensions

    Faster than webkit nightlies? Never thought to check, dunno why that would be but I'll try to see if it is.

    Get Safari 5.0.1 for Extensions

    Oh, yeah. I didn't look under productivity, didn't expect so much honesty I guess.

    Manually entered IP address. How do I undo it?

    Another way to edit the file is to download the free TextWrangler from bbedit.com (a free simplified version of BBEdit). It will allow you to open the file directly (check the show hidden files box).

    Manually entered IP address. How do I undo it?

    Check your /private/etc/hosts file. They may have had you edit that to get a direct link.

    new file/folder permissions on shared volumes

    ACLs will do want you need. Look at TinkerTool System... http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerToolSys2.html It handles them quite nicely and it's not expensive.

    downloading a file from command line

    Somewhere along the line I found a link to a copy of wget compiled for OSX, I've attached it. It's a little easier to use than curl.

    Printing White??

    Doh... It's easy. Set the background to black and the color of the document text to white. Print on white paper. You'll use a LOT of black ink and that much coverage with a solid may saturate the paper and make it curl. But if it's really important to you give it a try.

    Sharing file/dirs with multile Mac users

    TinkerTool System allows one to set default permissions for directories. http://www.bresink.com/products.html It's not expensive and worth buying.

    problem with keyboard usage

    I use QuicKeys to make the Home and End keys as well as others work in web browsers or any other app where I want them. There are other keyboard macro programs that can do the same.

    Terminal and hostname issue

    Read through this... http://osxdaily.com/2006/12/11/how-to-customize-your-terminal-prompt/ if you can't get what you want post back. The host name is whatever you set in the Sharing preferences panel for the computer name.
