    Did anybody see that obnoxious Frasier episode?!

    At least it's more accurate than all those Winblows freaks claiming M$ owns Apple. Cheers, Dak

    MAC OX S For Intel?

    Actually there was an article a while back (even before OS X DP3) by an engineer at Apple that outlined what would actually be necessary to port OS X to run on tan x86 machine... very little modification at all would actually be necessary on the upper layers of OS X for x86... for those of you...

    Project Builder vs Codewarrior

    Project Builder is not as sophisticated as CodeWarrior, however it is still quite powerful in its own right. I've been using CodeWarrior since CodeWarrior Gold 10 (it was then renamed CodeWarrior Professional after Gold 12)... although I decided not to bother with CodeWarrior since I got MacOS...

    Is there a point to ssh remote login?

    It's really easy to tell which computers on a university network are running Windows XP... for some fun I went around port scanning random IPs today (and some not so random) with nmap. People aren't joking when they say Windows XP is a security hole (no, I don't mean Windows XP has a security...

    Only in America...

    OK, I just found this right after posting the previous article... I just have to post it: CNN Review of Windows XP: "The system promises fewer computer crashes and will allow users to delete data from their hard drive." I'm so impressed. Cheers, Dak

    Only in America...

    Anyone else notice the vast majority of "positive" reviews for Windows XP continue to stress how much less it sucks compared to Windows 9x? Who would have thought you could actually base a media campaign on attacking your own product and get away with it. The most common quote I've seen so far...

    Should I worry about getting a virus?

    In short, no. There are some "Windows viruses (latin: virii)" that are actually "Outlook viruses" or "Word viruses". These viruses actually can (to some extent at least) effect a Mac that has for example MS Word. Windows virii however can not effect a Mac, Classic or OS X. Virus writers...

    OmniWeb 4.1sp3

    OmniWeb 4.1sp4 was just released... not sure what updates are in it... I can confirm the memory leak still exists though. Happy browsing. Cheers, Dak

    Uninstalling MacOSX apps?!

    Sorry, resizing a window can only be done from the bottom right side of the window, or (with less control), the (+) button at the upper left of a window. There is actually logic behind this if you follow the Human Interface Guidelines, but I won't bother you with them... but be assured you'll...

    Network Security under OS X

    Well, for starters I never let any Microsoft product touch my computer... and no I don't flame a product just because it's made by M$. However, M$ has in general always placed security just about dead last on its "to-do" list... I'm perfectly content with a word processor that doesn't have its...

    Uninstalling MacOSX apps?!

    Yup, it's that easy. Some programs installed on MacOS X does need to install files elsewhere on your machine, but the vast majority of programs written for OS X exist in just one location. That's because the applications are actually themselves packages, capable of containing all the resources...

    OmniWeb 4.1sp3

    The memory leak has been pretty obvious to me in OmniWeb 4.1 sp3. If you keep the ProcessViewer open or use the top command in the Terminal and start browsing the web, it builds up pretty fast. OmniWeb usually opens on my machine taking up about 2.3% of memory (I have 640MB ram), although will...

    256 vs 384 vs 512 MB RAM under OS X

    2*256 + 128 + 64 = 704? I like the creative math approach better though. I have 128+512 = 1280 :D Cheers, Dak
