This makes more sense... When I first saw your username I thought you had taken it from Maj. Frank Burns the character on the 1970's TV show M*A*S*H -- I couldn't understand why anyone would want that name.

Hi, I'm looking for a program to convert gp3 to a "standard" video format such as mpeg or even AVI. I know that this can be done with QTpro, but I haven't purchased the Pro edition and don't really want to. (Yes, I can view these files with QT, but I want to convert the movies to a...

If it was a fair electron and it represents the general will of the majority then it was a good election. I would claim that Hamas is a legitimate democratic government because it meets both of these criteria. Just because I don't like their beliefs doesn't mean that it isn't democratic...

This isn't exactly what I was getting at. What I intended was to claim that we've come to this point because of a failure of all western governments over the past 100 years to cultivate a democratic movement in this region. We collectively supported the Shah, Mr. Hussein, the Saudi...

Perl is blocked on Macs? Do you have access to the terminal?

I typically don't have time to devote to these discussions, but I must admit that I'm a little disappointed with the present state of the situation. (1) Although Iran has potential for democratic reform, the moderate (reform) majority totally blew the last election by fragmenting itself...

According to the ftp man page: "Note: mget and mput are not meant to transfer entire directory subtrees of files. That can be done by transferring a tar(1) archive of the subtree (in binary mode)." On your local machine you should be able to use tar: tar -cf tared.file.name.tar <input...

Before the blue one they didn't happen to have a car that was, "Uh, yeah, uh, Green. Some uh, brown, uh or, rust, coloration."

Do you need to pass the location of hte ar.h file using the -I flag? gcc file.c -o file.exe -I/location/of/header/files/

Perhaps she needed to borrow someone elses machine to write a paper for a class. MSOffice on Mac and PC are pretty much the same.

Apparently yes. Googling the words "provide libXext macintosh" shows that libXext.6.dylib is provided by Apple's X11.

Hi, With g77 I can get the system time by using the intrinsic function itime call itime(hms) where hms is an integer(3) array When I try to compile this same software using g95 I get ld: Undefined symbols: _itime_ If I try to link in the libf2c.a file I get ld: Undefined...

Thanks, that was the solution. Now I just need to figure out how to get everything synced properly.

I have evidence that this dataloss happened because 10.3.X doesn't support the Z520a. I have a Macmini with 10.4.X and the sync process seems to work fine. Unfortunatly the the mini is my entertainment center (EyeTV) and the powerbook is what I use to work. I have not yet committed myself...

Hi, This weekend I lost a great deal of data trying to sync my bluetooth phone and addressbook with isync. Fortunatly on Friday I backed up my entire user directory to an external harddrive that I keep in my office. I need to know how to restore my addressbook information to exactly...

Hello, This weekend I'm trying to sync my new Ericsson Z520a phone to my powerbook (10.3.9) via bluetooth and isync. Apparently when I try to sync, random addresses are removed from my addressbook and I'm given an error. This is very of worrisome to me!!! I see a few threads that...

Pick any theocracy of your choice. :7)

I've given up on wire containment (in tubes or wraps) because I have too many running from behind my PC to various external devices. Instead I've been using twist-ties to selectively bundle the wires. Larger bundles will sometimes be split into smaller bundles along the path. Working with...

You can use the -keep option with fetchmail to keep the mail on the remote server. Unfortunatly, this still means that your sent-mail will have to be imported (unless you include yourself with CC). As I wrote above, this is a relatively simple task, if you use mutt or another text based...

I'd suggest fetchmail and mutt. fetchmail will pull the messages off of your server and mutt is a nice text based e-mail reader. The mailbox format used by mutt can be easily imported to mail.app so when you return home you can import the messages you read and sent to your mail archive.
