The "p2p*" network interfaces are new in Lion. I believe they are used for AirDrop. As for the null Mac address, I'm not sure off the top of my head. Where did this output come from? If you run ifconfig from Terminal, what is its output? On a semi-related note, I highly recommend Little...

Personally, I'd chalk it up to "s*** happens" unless it happens again. *shrug* Wouldn't hurt to make sure you have a good, non-default password on your home wireless network.

If it only happened once, I wouldn't panic (no pun intended). If it happens repeatedly, the first thing I'd do is run Apple's hardware diagnostics program. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 for more info.

Where did you read this? It's a new one on me. I would not expect malformed packets to be a common cause of kernel panics. The most common causes of kernel panics are faulty hardware and buggy system add-ons. There are not many add-ons that can cause kernel panics, however, since most programs...

A word of warning: Apple seems to have badly broken the hosts file functionality in Snow Leopard (and I believe it remains broken in Lion as well, although I haven't tested it). Adding a lot of entries to your hosts file will cause extremely high CPU usage by a system process called...

I don't see the problem. In fact, I tried your script and it works just fine for me. Hmmm. Sorry I can't be more helpful. :\ Have you tested your service with any programs besides TextEdit?

TVMobili is a cross-platform media server which claims to be compatible with Samsung's AllShare. I believe "AllShare" is merely Samsung's branding for a standard network protocol called DLNA, and therefore any DLNA-compatible software should work. It might also be possible to run the AllShare...

This was me on Halloween. (Yes, really!) For comparison, another picture from earlier in October. That's an As The Apple Turns t-shirt. Anyone remember that site? And yes, that's a full head of hair. I went all out for the costume.

There are a few applications that will let you run any screensaver as a desktop background. (The Pictures screensaver works quite well.) I haven't used one in years, so I can't give a personal recommendation, but a quick search reveals a few that might be good...

I'm not much of an Automator user, but in AppleScript you can say "get the month of the current date" to get the...er, month of the current date (shocker! ;) ). I know that Automator lets you execute AppleScripts and integrate them into your workflows, so maybe this can help you.

Two things: First, indentation is part of the syntax in Python. I can't tell if the lack of indentation is in your actual file or just showing up here because of copy-paste. Anyway, make sure the code after main() is indented. Secondly, "real number1, number2" doesn't even look like Python...

At the bottom of your TextWrangler window, there are several popup menus with options. One of them is for the line-break style. It probably says "Windows (CRLF)". Change it to "Unix (LF)" and save your file. Then it should work. This problem stems from the fact that different OSes encode line...

Safari has some nice features that Firefox still lacks. I like Safari's "Reader" mode, which will take a news article and strip out all the junk, presenting just the TEXT in a nice, readable way. There are plugins for Firefox that work similarly (I believe it's called Readability), but in my...

Yeah, I only read up on it after hearing the reactions from coworkers and the internet. I was really impressed. I wonder if the poor reaction is due to the Steveless presentation. I feel like Jobs would've had the world screaming "magic!" at Siri. Also, perhaps Apple's reluctance to offer...

On the plus side, they can't stop you from buying your own SSD and slapping it in there. You can get them for cheaper from other stores. Not a LOT cheaper, but still cheaper. They're expensive anywhere you go. Check out crucial.com or newegg.com.

Thanks for the warning. I might buy from New Egg instead. I have no problems that I associate with slow HD speed, but I've heard what ElDiablo said more than once: 'You won't believe how much "slowdown" and "sluggishness" of a computer, even a brand-new one, is attributed to disk speed.' But...

I'm in a similar position and was, in fact, about to make a thread on the topic when I saw this. I see that 1TB drives are cropping up now. I saw the Scorpio Blue but was concerned about the 12.5mm height. I'm assuming a reputable Mac dealer like OWC would know better than to recommend a drive...

This thread is really old, but thanks. I was actually not aware of that. System Preferences > Universal Access > Hearing > Play Stereo as Mono. I'm out of the habit of monomizing my audio these days, for various reasons, so I'm not in position to compare it to the other methods. But I'll...

Is anyone using Google+ yet? I have an account, but haven't messed around with it too much yet. If anyone wants an invite, just PM me your email. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it needs to be a gmail address. Edit: Looks like I can't invite more people for now. Not sure why. *shrug* Personally...

Something along these lines should work: set the_file to open for access POSIX file "/path/to/your/csv" set file_contents to read the_file close access the_file set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "," set values to every text item of file_contents repeat with f in values --do something...
