Hi. Just one question : how is it that KDE (X11 binary from fink, not the native OS X Qt one) consumes more than 80% of the CPU ???!! That is madness !!! Actually the one consuming CPU is 'arts' which I guess is part of KDE. Under linux I don't see 'arts' when calling a 'top'. Thanks, Pierre

hmmm .... pretty simple ... I really love Cocoa ! :) Thank you for your help, Pierre.

Hi. I would like to make my application dock icon to display some info. But for that I need to know how to draw a NSString into a NSImage or a NSImageRep (if I understood correctly how does that work). My problem is that I know how to draw a NSString into a NSView but not a...

Hello. I have a problem with Compressor (more exactly a friend who works @ a TV has this problem). When using the PC and broadcasting software on PC they need and they use Multiplexed MPEG-2. Sound and image are in only one file. But when they use the Mac (a brand new PowerMac G5) with...

Hi. Just a simple question : Is it possible to configure FileVault such that it protects only one folder ? Because I don't need my whole home directory to be encrypted. That would just result in a slow of my computer. Any suggestion before I click on "Turn FileVault On ..." ? Thank...

thank you very much for your posts. Now that it's all clearer I will buy for sure these periphericals ;)

Hello. I am planning to buy Apple's wireless periphericals but I have some kind of question ... on the web site (www.apple.com/keyboard/) we can read : keyboard -> Uses 4 AA Alkaline Batteries mouse -> Uses 2 AA Lithium Non-Rechargeable Batteries My question is very simple and has...

Hello. :) I'm back with some new stupid questions for the highly wisy you are. Today I am dealing with booting. I read an interesting article about Mac Booting on www.kernelthread.com and this made me think a bit ... what should I do to get a booting code ? If I compile with gcc a c-code...

of course something self-evident doesn't requieres any explanation. That's why I found nothing. I stupidly supposed that \pagestyle was only allowed in the header (preambule) of the document. It is not. We can use anywhere and it has the requiered effect. ;) thx Pierre

Hi. I didn't where to post this best so I choosed Unix ;) My problem is that I have a very very long Table Of Contents. It is over 3 pages. I would like to set the pagestyle to empty for the whole page set. So I put \thispagestyle{empty} before and after the \tableofcontents command...

yes I did. I did some research (thx google) and I found some comments like mine. It seems there is no flush-like command in perl. :( A comment suggests to use STDERR but then you're not writting to your file handler ... strange thing. so if anyone knows how to hack this (I think it...

Hello everybody ;) I made a little Perl script and well ... I have a problem. The purpose of this script if to preprocess files in a folder with some `sort` and `head` or `tail` commands and then launch a program with system() with some file-specific arguments. The script generates a...

Ok, thank you ;) NB: what I meant by pseudo-shell was a simple application that would behave as a launcher. In fact you answered my implicit question (maybe I should have started with that ;) ) : "what does a shell special regarding to an other application ?" ;) since your say it "doesn't...

Hi. hello everybody. I would like to develop a shell as project for my "Software Engineering" course. However I tried to find some documentations about some special features that a shell should implement. Of course I can create a pseudo-shell : a simple application that would be launched...

Hi. Now that Apple has a real and great server offer, what about the client ? I say that since a G5 is a work-station, and 'i' or 'e' Macs include screen. What Apple should release now as hardware to invade the business sector is a light client. Some very light G3 or G4 with a basic...

NB: I went on Building Darwin HOWTO but this did not help me so much ... that's why I post here hoping someone will post a clear and human understandable reply ;) thx again, Pierre.

Hi. :) I would like to download the sources of Darwin. However when I go on the download web page of the Apple Darwin Project, there are plenty of files ... I supose I don't need to download the PS2 Mouse files for example. So my question is quite simple : which files should I...

Indeed the script needs to be in ksh. The command is ok since it works in the shell when I type it directly. I solved the problem by writing nblignes=`wc -l < ${fichier}.tmp` what produces the same effect. But the question remains. NB: when we write : echo "$$A" or echo "\$A"...

Hello everybody. I have little problem with ksh ... I am trying to execute this line into a shell script : nbligne=`wc -l ${fichier}.tmp | awk '{print $1}'` The problem comes from the '$1' ... I don't want the shell to replace it by it's value but to send it as it ("$1" and not...
