    I have never had that problem. I was going to suggest VLC player but doesn't seem to be able to decode WMV (it can however play the audio from the file).

    I have been routing around inside the Logic Pro plist file and found that it holds a duplicate of all the names of everyother .plist file in my preference ... that's not normal right!

    I've paid £700 and don't want a bloody dongle!

    Hi all, I'm very happy with LogicPro but isn't there another way for apple to protect there apps than using a bloody dongle. Which, I might add, you have to use every time your but the app not just when you install. It's just annoying having that sticking out the side of you powerbook. Dan.

    Can you spot my mistake?

    Yeah, that's what I've done. Just returned the object from -termOneFactorAtDepth: and then made the messaging method responsible for releasing it.

    Can you spot my mistake?

    I have changed the -termOneFactorAtDepth: method to just create and the fill vector with values. I have then made the messaging method responsible for releasing these Vector objects. Seemed to solve the problem. Dan. Just for completeness here is the final code: -(Vector*)...

    Can you spot my mistake?

    The code is fine when you autorelease. However, when you loop through the object to release it it always give an run time error in either version, Cocoa or standard C array of objects. Something must be fishy with the the -termOneFactorAtDepth: method as you suggest. Here is that method...

    Can you spot my mistake?

    Errr... Actually, now I get 11 (SIGSEGV)! I must be trying to use that object after I release it? I've check all the methods that it uses, they all pass by value. So I can't see how I'll have any pointers hanging around?

    Can you spot my mistake?

    Hi all, Now this looks a bit messy! But actually it's quite simple. It basically multiplies vectors together. However, I have a vector at a point in 3D space. That's what a PointVector class is. The code is part of a finite element method of solving a problem in material science. When I...

    Is building an OS on an open source core safe?

    I see... I thought that if you had the knowledge of how something works it would be easier to write a virus for it. I don't mean putting actual code in the kernal to allowing hacking. Then again I'm not much of a programmer so may be I don't understand the situation.

    Is building an OS on an open source core safe?

    Hello everybody, Was just thinking about Darwin. Doesn't having the source code make it easy to hack? Why did apple go this route when developing OSX? I remember when some of the windows source was leaked a fer years ago ... Daniel.
