First, on why not to learn PHP... The language is actually more similar to PERL then anything else, and, if you've ever learned PERL, it's a genuinely powerful, extremely annoying language. PHP is precisely the same way. You can do anything in PHP, from on-the-fly image creation, to advance...

This may sound horrid, but, for me at least, the easiest way to learn 'programming' ( god that's a generic term ) was actually through the following: C++ and stdio.h for basics. Learn how to declare variables, and accept user input, as well as basic functions and, if you're feeling bored...

As of right now, there is no multi-track CD-RW burner available. Usually toast handles this. However, this is not currently the case. Disc Burner supports single-session only discs. This limitation sucks if you want to treat CD-RW's as floppies. Toast SP2 ( the latest anyone seems to have )...

From experience I can say this: Mac jobs are rare. Especially exclusively Macintosh jobs. Every tech company I know of is constantly searching for a good Mac guy, but it's never JUST a Mac guy.You need to now Windows, and know it well. If you are Mac-only, your best bet is the local CompUSA or...

Umm....any chance of getting the link? I'd love to see what Apple has been up to.

...deserve equal brow-beatings at the hands of a few Hungarian midget porn actors using the latest 'Blunt Communication Device' ( as patented by Amazon ) ((read: baseball bat)). This whole process started with Adobe suing Macromedia over using Palates. That's right. Palates. Why was Adobe...

Hold the option key as you open items. While they are not opening in the same window, holding down option closes the parent window as it opens the new child. Handy for reducing screen clutter, and drilling down.

Here's a shot of pure, simplified beauty. OS X 10.1 + XFree86 + WindowMaker + Mac OS 9.2.1 = everything I had wet dreams about as a child. http://www.jackshedd.com/macosx/screen/101901.jpg

I might be off-base here, but, as I understand it, I run Win2k Advanced Server on my PC, using Mac Services, and I notice no real speed hit from using OS 9. Transfers were about the same. Of course, this allows me to pump out ASIP, and not be relegated to using Samba. Now, I can't speak for...

In short, no. In full screen mode, iTunes locks down the monitor, taking control of all Monitors attached to the Mac. There are workarounds though. 1.) Use 10.1. 2.) Place your iTunes main window on the window you want to visuals to appear on. When you got to visual mode, iTunes will now...

I believe there is a plist file inside of your System/Library/ somewhere that contains an option to enable all video resolutions. I believe I saw the article on http://www.macosxhints.com, floating about somewhere.

First, you should never disable VM under OS X. Doing this would cause you more headaches then it is probably worth. Instead, focus on improving your VM's performance, as well as OS X's, and you will live a long and happy day. 1.) Use window compression. This will save you a great deal of RAM...

Just about every browser currently under release for OS X is missing something. My personal site is a great example of this. The site itself merely abuses some neat DHTML tricks that work within any Standards compliant browser, with DOM support, or an IE implementation, however, each browser in...

I actually decided to bust out my 5.5 documentation, and read up on ODBC and OS X. In OS 9 and below, FileMaker Pro installs an ODBC control panel, for use with the application. This, however, is not so under OS X. My guess would be that you're only choice to get ODBC and FileMaker under Apache...

In theory, any language which has ODBC capabilities can talk to a FileMaker Pro database. I haven't played with OS X's ODBC abilities, however, I know they are out there. All you need is FileMaker's ODBC driver. AppleScript, of course, can always talk to FileMaker using it's outstanding data...
