What command line syntax do I need to use to create a zip file that is the same as if it were done using the finders "Create Archive of ..." functionality found in the File menu.

I'm thinking of upgrading the stock GeForce FX 5200 64MB that came with my G5 Dual 2Ghz PPC, there's a good deal with a supplier for an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro G5 Edition 256MB, is that going in the right direction? Obviously there's more RAM on it, but I don't really know how it will rate, maybe...

I have a GeForce FX 5200, looks like it doesn't support rotation. Does anyone know which cards do, or if you can see the rotation option in Sys Prefs, please tell me which card you have.

I've just ordered a screen that can rotate 90 degrees into "portrait" orientation. Just wondering if OSX can display like that?

MIRC - NOOOOOOOOO. Use Colloquy

Thinking about it, probably the main reason though is that I have hiding switched on. I just don't like the dock hogging vertical space, I never use it except to call up the trash. So I have to use something else to launch apps. I think the answer to the original question is a crazy algorhythm...

If I loaded everything I use in the dock, the icons would all be 1 pixel each. End of story.

I want to use Yep (formerly Pik and also Kip!), a way of tagging and storing documents. It has scanning support but only for scanners that work in a particular OSX way, the acid test of which is whther they work with Iage Capture. Does anyone know of any scanners that work in this way, or...

I've been trying to use Kip (http://www.thekip.com/) with my Canon Lide 50 USB scanner, sadly Kip does not recognise it, only the canon software and photoshop seems to. Does anyone know why this is? Alternatively, can someone tell me who makes scanners that are really well supported in OSX...

That doesn't work. I tried that already and that's why I was asking.

anyone know how to add a folder to the folder list in system preferences > desktop picture thanks Zim

I have dock hiding on and only use the dock for drag and drop. If I put all my application in the dock they'd all be 3 pixels square. If you use about 5 application the dock is great - if you're a programmer and have to use dozens of apps then the dock is useless. Besides, I have two 19 inch...

We have kids about, who like to randomly type on the keyboard if you're not there, renaming files and directories or adding interesting entries on your CV. I'd like the mac to do the equivalent of fast user switching to the login window on 5 min of inactivity. I know there is the option to...

I'm reading a book about bash that states: Well, OK, so most of the time it won't make much of a difference, but out of curiosity, is it possible to (perhaps even inadvisable to) upgrade Bash to v3? If it is, how would you do it? I'm kind of suspecting that you'll all say "meh, don't...

Does anyone know if there are any makes of ADSL Modem/Router that allow the firewall to be switched off completely? I have 4 macs that I need to attach to the net. I'm finding the current ZOOM ADSl modem very restrictive as it has a firewall that can't be switched off and a DMZ that can only...

I have an iMac 1.8GHz 20 inch with 256MB Ram. Crucial states that although I have 2 banks of 1 and can install modules one at a time, best performance comes from installing matched pairs. I can't afford 2 x 1GB, but I can afford either 1 x 1GB or 2 x 512MB. So which configuration is...

I have an ADSL modem/router plugged into a 5 port switch. 3 computers are plugged into the switch and all automatically recognise the internet connection and use it. I need all the machines on ethernet for file transfers etc. The router has a rather basic firewall which cannot be switched...
