the install notes for anything say that, and if they don't they do say 'we are not responsible for data loss.' 6.1 has been fine for me.

I highly doubt there would be anything in Cocoa dealing with comments. Use Carbon if you need C. The easiest way to do it would be AppleScript - just set the script's Keep Open checkbox and save it as an applet.

NSString * theString = @"oh chewie shut up"; the @ is a compiler directive telling it to alloc/init a static NSString object.

cocoadevcentral.com the cocoa-dev list at apple and the macosx-dev list at omni are the best places to ask questions. There are a bunch of pdf & html docs at apples developer site. The o'reilly book is ok, but not that great. rewriting a word processor from RB to Cocoa doesn't sound like...

heh when caffeinated at 3am i'm capable of anything ;) I just basically found out about the sysctl command from one of those links, and man sysctl told me that sysctl -A would get a list of what was there to change, and sysctl -w would change it. I changed them, then I restarted, and...

I've also seen cases where simply re-ordering ram fixed problems - just swap them around from slot to slot.

hey check it out - http://www.cs.newcastle.edu.au/~mdrayton/desktopconsole/desktopconsole.html it's keen! you have to make a new log and tell it what to watch before it'll do anything though.

iTunes works with my Rio 600. All I really use iTunes for is managing the stuff on there.

I should also point out that C++ is a complex, unwieldy, barnacle-encrusted lumbering psychotic swine of a language. Objective-C isn't

it'll sometime takes awhile for it to get used to the new ram. it has an allergic reaction or something :) if it keeps happening, try opening the box up & wiggling the ram modules a bit.

you do know it's already installed, and you just want the latest version, right?

Dennis Kernighan & Brian Ritchie at Bell Labs. The language they were replacing was called B. :D I wonder if there's an Objective-B lol

I found out that /etc/sysctl.conf was a linuxism, and bsd used rc.sysctl. But that didn't work either, then i found out it *was* in one of the SystemStartup scripts, namely /System/Library/StartupItems/Network To make the sysctl changes persistent, just add the sysctl -w commands to that file...

hm.... there *is* a /etc/sysctl.conf but it doesnt work... maybe in those SystemStarter scripts?

hmm... changes don't appear to be preserved across logins though.. must have to be changed in netinfo

C++ was developed for efficiency above all else. It moves as much decisionmaking as possible into compile-time and out of runtime. Objective-C was developed as a true OO language, with alot of information available at runtime that is thrown away in C++ C++ lacks all the dynamism of...

if you have a broadband connection, your tcp settings probably aren't set up optimally. you can change them from the command line using sysctl sysctl -A lists all the settings as java/defaults style package names. the ones you want to change are net.inet.tcp.sendspace: 32768...

http://www.ncne.nlanr.net/software/tools/tcp.html has some neat toys to play with for testing tcp bandwidth & settings.. i've only tried iperf and am still trying to figure out what the hell it all means, but it's pretty nifty, and compiles fine if you say no when it asks to be multithreaded...

just do sudo hostname deepblu (or whatever)
