    Kernel Panics in Panther - my saga

    I have had a new PB G4 since November with no probs, until the last week, when I've had 15-20 kernel panics (aka annoying freezes with cryptic messages). I did all the standard troubleshooting stuff: maintentance, fsck, cron, DS-Store cleanup, repairing permissions, repairing disks...

    Hard crash with restart warning

    I have done the permissions, crons, DS store cleanups, and a few other optimizing utils, but nothing helped. So I'll check the hints... Now that it has happened 3 more times, I see that when I use Safari, I get the "new style" panic with the polite message, and when Im using Mail I get...

    Hard crash with restart warning

    I've only had four in all of the time I've run OS X since the beta. Have these panics only started recently? I have had no problems on this new 1ghz PB since I got it two months ago, until the last three days... I've had the new-style and old-style panics something like 14 times now...

    Hard crash with restart warning

    Im having panic problems too, mostly when Im using Safari or Mail. Sometimes I dont get the friendlly message pictured above. Instead, I get lots of lines of CLI-like code knocked out in black and white on the screen, accompanied by a freeze. Where should I send my panic logs to? They look...

    Safari doesn't work

    I have 10.3 and I've been using it for about a month or two, but then starting yesterday, my computer is completely locking up and giving me blocks of text overprinted on the whole screen. SCARY! I have Xupport, which does all the usual maintenance/cleaning tricks, but no luck. I've...

    Problems with BBEdit and Fireworks

    I've fully transitioned to OSX now, and I've found there are a few annoying problems with my BBEdit (7.0) and Fireworks MX (6.01) programs that some of you might know more about. 1. Fireworks MX: I cannot copy a live text block from Fireworks into another program...so if I had something in...

    I just tried that, and just like in panther, you are given read-only access. :/

    Can VPC do Direct X 8.1?

    I autocross ( a kind of auto racing I'm obsessed with ) and as far as I've seen there is only one existing racing game that has autocrossing built in, called "Live for Speed". Its an online type of racing sim game that lets you race other people, and its minimum hardware requirements are...

    Any reason to learn python?

    Ive been wondering too, as I want to make the jump from object-oriented scripting to some real programming someday. Python seems universal and well documented. Is is an easy language to learn?
