    Ram question!

    nixgeek: What are you talking about? 64 -bit windows can run 32-bit software. Windows use a thing called WOW64 (yeah), i.e. Windows-On-Windows. It emulates 32-bit Windows to the 32-bit program, so the program thinks it is running on 32-bit machine. There are some restrictions, like you cannot...

    reencoding for smaller file sizes

    I have NVidia's (actually Elemental Technologies Inc.) Badaboom converter on my PC. It does the conversion quite fast (about 200~300 frames a second for Ipod classic from a MPEG2 recorded from digital tv). It uses NVidia's CUDA to calculate the conversion using GPU. I am not sure there are any...

    basic script question.

    About "format". Generally shell scripts start with line #!/bin/sh The #! is called shebang (for some reason), and it means to kernel that - the file is a script - the script is interpreted by program that is after the shebang You run the script either - by giving its name...

    MacPorts and xemacs

    Have you tried to run it without windowing, i.e. using command $ xemacs -nw I know, you like xemacs because of "x", but if you do not get the error message any more, then problem might be on the X window libraries. For this kind of problem I have used trace tools; trace, strace or...

    Ideas for a book "OS X On a dime" -- free/open source software for OS X

    I used almost daily: TigerLaunch (menu for all applications) iTerm (better Terminal.app) JView (image viewer) Some others: Emacs.app (for some reason, emacs is better than xemacs in Mac) MPEG Streamclip AquaLess

    Free alternative for windows mobile sync?

    The OS X was 10.4 and the phone ... most likely it was Siemens SX 1. If you remember it, it was actually quite a lot of like Nokia phone, so it was easy to port it using existing Nokia template. Actually, Nokia seems to support isync better than my current phone (Sony Ericsson X1).

    Free alternative for windows mobile sync?

    I forgot to mention, that you can make your own templates. I managed to port my old phone using some existing phone's template; the files are plain text (or was it XML?).

    Free alternative for windows mobile sync?

    OS X comes with isync, a program for syncing your mac and mobile. Problem is, Apple has support for few phones only. Some phone makers give templates for their phones and there is some 3rd party that sells templates for other phones.

    Locked, no-name exe on desktop

    I don't know how you got it there, but if you like to make another, type following in Terminal.app (Ctrl-D means: hold Ctrl key and D) $ cd ~/Desktop $ cat > __ echo "Hello" Ctrl-D $ touch -t 1069062010100 __ $ chmod +x __ $ ./__ (Outputs Hello) $ chmod -rw __ So, then you have...

    c++ compiler problems

    No. When you like to only compile a file (for either to use several files, for example one per class and only compile the changed one), you use g++ -c filename.cpp Your example actually made an executable file, named a.out. a.out was the name of the executable format in older Unices; the...

    Lacie disk not recognized

    I have two LaCie disks and they both are recognized by OS X. One is LAN disk and it shows as an external server. The other is attached using Firewire 800 (it also supports Firewire 400 and USB2). I had it first partitioned to three partitions, but once I bought the LAN disk, I repartitioned it...

    CANNOT DELETE FILES (.db and .ini files)

    I have seen those files also. I think they are Windows system files, so they might be set readonly, and are harder to delete. Start Terminal.App and use "rm -f" to force the deletion.

    HFS Differences

    Journaling is A Good Thing. It is a mean in filesystem where the changes to be written to the filesystem (file delete etc.) are first written to the jornal and then to the disk. To good part comes when there is some problem. On normal filesystem, for example file delete is two part thing: first...

    Trouble with Outlook on Parallels/iCal

    Are you sure the Parallels is on the right time? I use Vista on VMWare Fusion, which is on all the time, but I don't use it much. This means that Vista goes to sleep and the clock does not work. When I wake Vista, its clock differs hours to the real time.

    running unix executables in OS X(leopard 10.5.5)

    I think .zip files do not have file access bits, so Stuffit has to use full access. One of the access features in Unix (and thus OS X) is execution access, so all files coming from .zip will have execution bit on. Since OS X does not recognize the file, all it can tell is that it has execution...
