No, that's not true if you make it correct :) And I need some applications that are just not available for *nix. So I have to choose between Windows or OS X and you know I not using Windows ;) So now I try to get a unix as good as it can be but still able to run the Aqua GUI applications I...

I'm searching a good calendar and contact software a bit like iCal/Adressbook but without the limitations in these apps. At least good SyncML support is required. And it shouldn't bring with it any frameworks or librarys. And it shouldn't use any component provided by iCal, iSync or...

Peronally I do't like Fink. Ok, it's good to get some (often old) unix applications installed but they are not integrated in OS X. It's just a second directory where all the stuff is put in to use if with the X11 environment... I recommend to learn what OS X need and where it is. I've thrown...

Just for the case you don't have Safari anymore (I don't like it and deleted it) there is no possibility to change it so easy. But you can download MisFox to change the default app (browser, mail, ftp...) and many other file settings.

BareBone MailSmith and nothing else ;) Apple Mail is simple but it's also not secure enough and simply lacks 20+ features I need. And Thunderbird has problems with my 10+ accounts (ssl) and also lacks important features. So MailSmith & included SpamSieve is just perfect. No problems with many...

Ok, I've searched the net for hours now and as far as I can see OS X simply can't do this but maybe I'm just to stupid to search correct. There are several things I would like to activate or use in OS X/Darwin. First I would like to activate noatime for a second harddisk. Any way to do...

I won't say that it is a significant boost but yes it will give you a better performance if you read/write a lot especially in small files and the life-span is (maybe) increased as the head movement is decreased. And there is absolutly no need to save the last access time for these files so...

Now after I've got my second harddisk that should be used for dumb data storage with a lot of read/write access I would like to enable the noatime option for this volume. But i noticed that this option seams to be silently discarded by the mount command. For example if I try this the...

I also edit the named.conf and corresponding files with a simple editor. But after reading a big O'Reilly book ( DNS and BIND ) it's easy. You can try WebMin ( http://www.webmin.com/ ). It's a browser based configuration tool for nearly every server or systempart available and it's working on...

I just installed Apache 2.0.52 and PHP 5.0.2 yesterday. But I'll never use the always outdated package installers so I can't help with these. I just downloaded the unix sources and compiled them and that's it. But you have to know at least a bit about the Terminal (or better unix in general)...

Hmm, my networked hardware is named a bit after function with a little degree of creativity: Router (Guess what) Fortress (The G5 and named so due to the tons of security software running on it) MiniMe (The P3 running freeBSD) Phone (The IP-Phone) Printer (The HP Colorlaser) Storage...

I just would like to say that the "Tiger" download was just an example. You could of cause take any other application and replace it. Whatever is 'most wanted' at the time and will be downloaded by most people. Ok. this is not a effektive way to spread it to thousands but it's a good...

Just remeber that it's absolutly no problem to create a faked (for example) Tiger Beta diskimage with proper filesize and upload it to a p2p network. Than thousand users are happy to find it, dl it and then enter their admin pw to install this (what they believe) good app. So they just...

Correct. I fully agree with lurk. It's absolutly no problem to identify a faked bounce message. I even have a filter in Mailsmith (I never will use Mail again) that identify and mark faked bounce messages. These "Mailbox deon't exist" message created in Mail ( and all those other...

Why don't you simply create multiple index pages like index.html.en and index.html.de and let the webserver do the job automaticly? Every good browser can be set to your prefered language in the settings and send this information included in the http headers. Than any good server like Apache...

Think you heard this from the windows version. The mac version never contained anythink (known) like spyware. I use both of them and neither my NIDS nor the traffic analyser shows anything unwanted. But the windows version of both players contained spyware at least in the last versions.

If you search for a Client that is completly scriptable and offers nearly everything you need if you're an IRCOP try Ircle. It's more a professional Client. Simple GUI, no smileys or graphics but plenty of possibilities to add scripts or shortcuts... And for Ircle you can donwload many...

Otherwise if you plan to buy a router in the future you could take a better one with bandwidth control so you don't need to install the software on the computers. It's lot more expensive but a hardware solution. The Draytek 2900 router for example has this feature. I used this because so I...

An own class for this should work fine. You just have to create the properties you need there and I think you don't need a superclass for this because you just collect own data and maybe some methodes. Then you have to define an array in your app for this new class like MyArray(100) As...

Hmm, I don't like ethereal very much. For simple checks the build in tcpdump is enough. And if you need extensive information for every flag try netwox.
