I wonder if the Monroe Doctrine applied to Greenland? http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/facts/democrac/50.htm I suppose that the doctrine was adopted because of other Eurpoean powers, not Denmark. I've got to admit, that of all the monarchies, the Danish queen is the hippest

Even if the machine is not on the network, when you plug in the camera and turn on the iChat the video should work. If you goto iChat Preferences and then in the video tab you should see a working video of your camera. If you do not see a video of your camera in the preferences then...

Scripting with sh is useful to know, but I really never use more than the most simple aspects because almost every UNIX-type machine has the perl language installed. Perl is a scripting language that was invented to be kind of a combination of the best parts of many different script languages...

I had no idea about killall! I took an hour last year to write a cute little script to do exactly this and named it killproc. Live and learn, I guess. :7)

From a terminal use the command: ps -ax | grep <<application name>> To get a listing of the running application. For example: vesper:~ scott$ ps -ax | grep Safari 926 ?? S 1:51.92 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari -psn_0_158 The number on the left is the PID...

I've got a macmini at home and a powerbook that I carry. I'd like to store the music on the mini and listen to it on the powerbook via the internet. Can I do this with iTunes? I'm kind of doubtful that I can. I've been thinking that what I could do is set up an internet jukebox and...

"Day after Day" by Badfinger

I've tried it a few times, but also have found no one there. Then again, it isn't that often that I observe users on the same forum as me being logged in.

(1) Couldn't find the executable gimp.app anywhere on my hard drive.... It is just going to be called "gimp" not gimp.app (I don't think). Look in /opt/local/bin (2) It placed everything under /opt/local/ Odd but not completely inappropriate. (3) When I tried to run it from the...

I've not installed software which requires libgnome, but I do have fink installed. In finkcommander (the graphical front end for fink) I searched for libgnome and found that libgnome2 is available.

You'll want to use the "mail" command mail [-iInv] [-s subject] [-c cc-addr] [-b bcc-addr] to-addr... [-iInNv] -f [name] [-iInNv] [-u user]

The only sites that I've made from scratch and liked I made with HTML/CSS and emacs. I have recently grown to appreciate moveabletype. I don't really blog, but I like having a main page where I can announce new additions as I add them and then have individual project pages on the sidebar...

Libgnome 2.6.X can be installed using Fink. This would be the best approach.

You could try emacs with a modified ~/.emacs file. The "dotfiles" are used to configure UNIX programs. At the site http://www.dotfiles.com/ There is a collection of dotfiles that have been built by other people. Perhaps there is a .emacs file which makes c++ look pretty.

Hi, My windows machine recently died. To replace it I've purchased (last night) a mac mini. I used an ATI TV Wonder USB on my windows machine and I'd like to use it on the macintosh. I know that the this hardware is compatable on the Mac because it is used by eyetv. What I'd...

I carry my powerbook in sleep mode every day. I don't know the pack you're using or the level of activity in your life, but I've not had a problem walking to and from the office and traveling through airports.

The first coffee shop I used to frequent (1993 or 4) was in Ames, Iowa, USA, called "Joe to Go". Whey you ordered a coffee they brought a french press to you. This was great service. They went out of business in less than a year. In 1997 Santa Fe Espresso opened in Ames. The coffee was...

Espresso is also my drink of choice. When I move to a town the first thing I do is sample the local shops to find one that produces decent espresso. For every 10-20 shops there is usually one that makes a good espresso. This isn't so important since we got out Gaggia at home, but it is good...

Why does anyone upgrade? As far as I can tell the only application that I've wanted that I couldn't have in Panthers was the latest kismac release. On my other computer I'm still running Debian's Woody release -- although I was feeling adventurous three years ago and upgraded to the 2.4...
