    What's the Point of MacStumbler?

    Yes, it is used by some war-drivers (though many would prefer to use KisMac) to find networks (open or closed) and then hack into the barely closed ones to (primarily) get free internet.

    a:hover IE Mac Bug, and scrolling bugs

    Is there any chance we could see a prototype of your site online somewhere? It's significantly easier to debug code if you can read it :P.

    can eclipse be used for .net develop??

    Put simply, you can't do adequate development of any flavour of VB on a Mac; and especially not .Net. You can't test the program, because you can't run it, and you can't program it easily because VS doesn't exist on the Mac. Eclipse plugins will NOT give you VB functionality (and are extremely...

    a:hover IE Mac Bug, and scrolling bugs

    IE Mac is fine with a:hover (it's problem is it doesn't support the hover pseudoclass on ANY other element). So that means the problem is with your code. And don't abandon IE Mac users. There's still a bazillion of them out there (particularly in schools and design fields where plenty of...

    Mac Mini to become a digital hub?

    Have you ever seen the inside of a Mac mini? The only way they could introduce a bigger HDD (or a bigger ANYTHING) would be to shrink EVERYTHING ELSE. Which would be a huge expense (especially with things like RAM, where non-standard is not a good idea). And when you say "it's only one inch"...

    Frustrations with OS X

    Home and End work fine, though they refer usually to the beginning of the document/page and end of the document/page, rather than the Windows technique of beginning of line, end of line. On a Mac, do the following: When you would have pressed "Home"/"End" on a PC: • In single-line text...

    pps Attachments

    PPS files are projector files I believe. IIRC, the default extension of PowerPoint presentations is .ppt. A .pps file will only run on Windows (whether on a PC or in VirtualPC), since it is, in effect, an .exe file.

    Marble Blast Gold frustration

    Click down near the bottom right of the screen when the "level" shows it as "Not Qualified", and it should unlock. Just know that with that game in particular, cheating really ruins the fun. There are lots of level walkthroughs on the internet if you want to find out how to beat the level.

    Tablets for a non art guy...

    A Graphire takes practice to use, though for small movements and detail work, they're ideal. If you want pressure sensitivity, you realistically *need* a WACOM. I had a non-Wacom which purported to have 1024 levels of sensitivity. Needless to say, it didn't.

    Frustrations with OS X

    The iCal icon is supposed to update. A lot of people (including me) share the bug that it just... doesn't anymore. I've NEVER noticed a lack of freeware on OS X. If anything, I've noticed an incredible amount of freeware. I think the problem is the actual applications you want to have. If...

    Problems with word Formatting Palette

    Delete your Word plist file (surely that's where your toolbar size information is stored), and see if things revert to default. I can't for the life of me figure out how you managed to get the palette off the screen though.

    Any Flash wizards out there?

    You could just animate the GIFs themselves, and save people from having to endure Flash for no useful reason?

    DELETED

    The OSx86Project has been using the last Darwine release a fair bit, and they've got some talent, so expect the kinks to start getting ironed out significantly in the coming months. In the mean time, check out the Wiki on http://www.osx86project.org
