    SSH w/terminal remotely uzip untar or unstuff and archive

    You want to do this via a script or at the command line, interactively? You'll want to login : ssh username@machine_name enter password cd /your/dir/tree ### do stuff here It seems the problem is, in your example, you're validating the username to the domain, but not "landing" on a...

    Bill Gates' PC crashes during show

    *nods* and revamping the security model from a "typically open" to "typically closed" model like Unix/Linux/Novell/etc., is the key there. But since they're so prevalent in the home market, there will be quite a learning curve to get over there for the home users.

    Bill Gates' PC crashes during show

    My point was that software is dependent on many, many factors outside of itself. Nowadays I program end-user apps and server-side automation frameworks and such. But, once upon a time I did a lot of system level development, drivers and such. Did some contracting for companies that were...

    Import Mail Into Entourage

    Take another approach. See if your ISP offers IMAP other than Pop. Change your settings to IMAP, log in and dump everything to the server, logout, fire up Entourage then log in to your ISP. If you leave it at POP3, everything will be downloaded. If you leave it at IMAP, then it will live on the...

    making multiple directory's quickly

    When learning scripting, I'd suggets you pick a shell and standardize on it... Bash and tcsh are the most used, others are certainly available, k, bourne, etc. Each has some built in scripting capability and in some cases, each can be radically different than others. After some shell...

    iBook power adapters

    Any 3rd party suppliers of power adapters that will work with the newest iBook models? I'd like to have a few extra power supplies laying around (for days like today when dummy-me forgot to bring one to work with me). Or am I forced to use the $99 apple ones? Thanks.

    Netflix v. WoW

    I've been with NetFlix since its big bang. I also played UO for 4 1/2 years. At the time I wouldn't give up UO (until I finally quit because they completely ruined the game). Now I wouldn't give up up Netflix unless they started to suck. So, basically, you've got a tough choice ahead of...

    The Subnotebook

    I think I disagree. Innovation and commercial viability are almost never a guaranteed sure thing. Sony, Apple and Microsoft are all in biz to make money. Sony is providing a hardware platform. If Microsoft _OR_ Apple were in a position and of a mind to innovate, either one step up...

    10.3.9 has broken my mail.app

    Just seems a lot of people are having issues with this update. I'm sure the *real* problem is that the update is exposing issues already present but not as visible. Anyway, just goes to show that for all the bashing Microsoft gets, even Apple has the hiccup now and then. My Windows boxes...

    mac mini and Bluetooth Keyboard - am I really this screwed?

    Couldn't he SSH into it from the g3 and do it at the command line? Surely there's a file that could be edited to allow it?

    The Subnotebook

    PADD idea with text-to-speech and speech-to-text is a good idea. In short - completely do-able today. All the technology is in place. The target $500 might be hard to do, tho'

    Some basic OSX opertaions.

    Completely and totally agree on that point. iPhoto is *THE* reason I bought my iBook. And it's just been getting better and better since. Ok the Unix underpinnings were a contributing factor, but if I had to point to ONE thing that sealed the deal; iPhoto.

    I just realized that I love PCs

    Folks, windows is here to stay. So is unix/linux. So is apple. Accept and embrace or be bitter and angry. It's a choice, but until the corporate world turns away from Redmond, you have no choice but to include it in your list of skill sets. you don't and you're nothing but a niche player...

    What's wrong with my G4 Aluminum 15" laptop?

    Woops. Guess I should have posted that. Thanks for cleaning up after me, Bobw. I'm a bit scatter-brained today.

    MS Patches "critical" flaws, Macs the solution?

    I'm betting it's just more typical ineptitude in reporting. If he is a fan, he's got nothing to gain but looking stupid by doing that. Most people (who are savvy enough to see the problem) will look at it and say "these dopes don't even know a Mac from a Wintel PC". Some of us... the smart...
