sudo renice [level] [PID] for example: sudo renice -5 1038 use with caution!!

I just posted this over at MacNN... thought you'd be interested: Okay, I just did a simple rendering speed test. I saved this page to hy hard drive, cleared the cache of all browsers, closed all browsers, re-opened the browers, and timed how long it took to COMPLETELY load the page. In...

This may sound too simple, but does the file's name end in .mpg?

Please read this message. :cool:

Is your CD burner powered on and connected when you boot your Mac? It must be for it to work properly. Try rebooting and see if that fixes it.

Wrong. Older G4's have a four-stage pipeline. Apple (well, Motorola) changed with the 733 and up.

JakPuma is correct.

here it is guys: http://brad.project-think.com/images/crash.png I got a few of these in the pre-GM builds of 10.0. Strangely enough, I could sometimes keep working for a minute or two after the crash text spewed out, just enough time to save and restart.

themacko is correct. I mean, if Microsoft allowed that, piracy would run rampant!! :cough: :p

Well, that's the way the MPAA wants it. :rolleyes: Why else would they go mad over the DeCSS project? Have you heard about the new efforts to put encryptions on digital TV transmissions so they can't be copied?? Arrgghh...

LOL :p

There is no such "extended desktop" for any iMac. The iMacs' video cards allow only for video mirroring, IIRC. You need a tower with a second video card (or the new TwinView card) to make your desktop flow into another monitor. Sorry, man. Surely it can't be that bad. BtW, what kind of...

That "hidden feature" was removed in the interim builds when transitioning to 10.1. It is gone now. Sorry.

There are bugs in iomega's drivers for DOS-formatted Zip disks. I encounter this problem occasionally. Usually I'll get a dialog uponinserting the disk that it is unreadable and needs to be formatted. It gives you the option to go to the Disk Utility. I do that and then eject the disk from...

Heh, thanks for the ego-inflation, guys. How do I know my Mac so well? Hmm... I guess it could be in part because I've used various Macs (and PCs too) since 1985. I got to play with a good ol' Macintosh 128k and Apple //gs as a kid. THOSE were the days! It all comes with experience and...

I use these tools together: DVDExtractor 0.9b OSEx 0.0100b QT Mutator mAC3dec 1.3 MacMPEG2Decoder 1.0b7r3 and I re-encode video with either Sorenson Video 3 Pro or 3ivx Delta 3.5 NOTE: The above tools will not always properly rip the video or audio out ot DVDs. You can, however...

never heard of those... Fire is good. If you have the Dev Tools, you should compile the newest build from CVS. Adium is my favorite. Proteus is okay. I just tried it briefly. I only use AIM when someone insists on transferring an image or file over IM. I'd suggest dropping that bitch...

Well, i'm glad I'm not the only one here who knows about the nice and renice commands... ;) Now, there is a problem with distributing this kind of software to people who don't understand how it works. I've said the same about the "theme" installer tools (because I used to make themes) and...

Wrong. Although iTunes is a carbon app, it is not a fat app that will run on both OS's. OS9 and OSX have separate apps. The problem here lies in the fact that Apple didn't write iTunes. Rather, they bought SoundJam from Cassidy & Greene, destroyed some of its key features, skinned it, and...
