It doesn't work because Real still hasn't released an OSX version of their player or plugin. The Real plugin isn't working for you because it's Classic code.

The way I understand things, you can't integrate Project Builder / Interface Builder (i.e. a Cocoa front end) with a CFM binary. That's the reason the Mozilla team seems to be subtly shifting towards producing a Mach-O back-end for embedding purposes.

The cool thing about Mozilla is that its rendering engine, Gecko, is designed to be embeddable in other projects. This means (in theory) that someone could write a wonderful, Aqua HI compliant front end using ProjectBuilder and drop the all-singing, all-dancing fully standards compliant...

Well, your desktop image is stored as a Finder property, so someone with a bit of Applescript/shell-scripting kung fu could probably rig up a script that would randomly select an image from a directory and set the picture woth a "defaults write"...

I don't know if anyone is planning on doing something like gkrellm. I imagine a direct port is unlikely, as I gkrellm seems pretty closely tied to GTK and the Linux process model, both of which are foreign to OSX.

Yes, you can do this with wget: wget -S --spider http://www.apple.com By the way, the site that tracks what software a given site is running is: http://www.netcraft.com

Yes. Though I don't think Apple advertises the fact, you can use Windows .TTF fonts by dropping them in your /Library/Fonts directory.

I am not 100% certain, but I believe Eazel's Nautilus file manager can use Big Ass(TM) icons as well.

SanDisk Imagemate, part #SDDR-31

I picked up a little cheap SanDisk USB Compact Flash reader ($29.95, in a blister pack) at Best Buy, since it has become increasingly clear that Agfa is still a long way off from providing drivers for my camera. I plugged the reader in, then inserted a flash card, and it mounted the card as a...

Apparently, OSOpinion decided to actually ask the Open Group, the people who actually hold the Unixª trademark, whether or not Mac OS X was a true Unixª or not: http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/9451.html And guess what...

Why not just post the output of otool -L run against both the executable inside the Finder.app bundle and the executable inside the latest Workspace.app bundle you can find? I know what otool -L /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder produces -- something that...

I use leafnode ( http://www.leafnode.org ), which compiles cleanly and is pretty easy to configure.

1. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010502/tc/open_source_s_black_hole_1.html It really just is ZDNet trolling for clickthroughs. Shabby journalism, riddled with half-truths and unsupported assertions. 2. http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=20163

What no one has explained to me yet is why anyone thinks crippling the integrated Mach memory manager is going to speed the OS up at all. This isn't OS 9, folks. The old rules are out of the window. Like Endian said, if VM paging worries you that much, buy some physical RAM --...

When in doubt, Occam's Razor is your friend. Dark cabals and conspiracies are good television.

So for the trifecta of info, try: hostinfo; sw_vers; uname -a

Cool! Sounds like that could be very useful in conjunction with AEShell OSAX from within Applescript as well...

By "swapfiles" I mean OSX's virtual memory storage. I went with a 10 gig HFS+ partition for OS X and a 5 gig partition for 9.1. If I were doing it again, I would have probably done something more like 13 and 2, but that's just me. ;)

If you're going to do the dual partition thing, I'd suggest going a little bigger on your OS X partition. X will want to put its swapfiles on that drive, and 9.1 won't care where its apps are.
