Ok, I already have the newest versions of everything... It still randomly jams the CPU to 100%, will take its RAM usage to 1GB, or freeze for a few moments with no indicaton. The most frequent is freezing with no indication. Activity monitor dosent show a change in CPU usage or RAM usage. It...

Ok, sometimes for no reason while I'm using firefox on my iBook (1.33Ghz 1.25Gb's or RAM) I get the beachball of death and it will lag there for a few moments. Its totally random, sometimes when I'm scrollng, typing, or anything. I cant use safari or camino cause Firefox has some plugins I use...

The fading out of your daughter's screen could likekly be her video card is overheating. It also may be a defective videocard in her computer. I've had both of these happen to me. If it is still under warranty take it back. As far as you iMac, could be just a random fluke. My monitor (not an...

Buying software for Linux? What about open source?! That goes for mac as well! :cool:

Don't Expect raw speed increase but yes, I have the same mac and osX runs fine. Its better than OS9 either way.

Ok, the question is simple, do you think i should switch to mac for a notebook? I am currently using a Pentium II 400Mhz running Debian GNU/Linux for taking notes and listening to music at school. I play Starcraft on it using wine for some light gaming along with tetris. I've kinda realized I...

I'm all for ClamXAV... free.. open source and trust worthy. It's saved my friend's windows machine from crap i pick up on my linux servers from keeping their file backups! (ClamAV is for Linux.. its basically the same thing but w/o a GUI)

I don't know if this applies to mac (but mac uses the X windowing system) but there is a open source project called gambas that uses Visual Basic-esque code and makes Linux apps! I've had various degrees of sucess with it in Linux but you might be able to use it in conjunction with install X11...

Visual Studio is not avaliable for mac but there is a EXTRMELY good application development program called xcode included free with every mac (on the install disk) It supports Java, C, C++ and many other languages and has many of the nice features of Visual Studio.. although I will admit i love...

Ok! Thanks for the help but I currently dont have a Tiger disk (My own personal mac is a G3 Powermac running Jaguar) So I found a really weird, but effective way of getting this done if you have a similar problem with the aqua coming up when you 'sh /etc/rc'. Basically, I edited /etc/sudoers and...
