Kilowatt, if we add more metadata to a filesystem, then we would just magnify the problem of having to create hidden files on filesystems that don't support the richness of our metadata. Its not really a HFS/HFS+ specific problem, its a general metadata/non-metadata problem. That said, Be did...

This sounds like a classic case of a MenuExtra running rampant. I would look first at 3rd party extras, and then at Apples.

Umm.. maybe I missed something, but why didn't you just go to Reboot from the Apple menu? I have had Zombie processes quite a few times, and when nothing else worked, I could still reboot from the GUI, as well as the CLI.

You probably need to copy over the following files into the top level of the source dist, /usr/share/libtool/config.guess /usr/share/libtool/config.sub These should overwrite simiarly named files already there and allow configure to guess the right system type. Edit: I should note...

I belive that Palm OS 6 is going to be based somewhat on the BeIA platform (which was BeOS adapted for embeded devices). I have also heard other reports though that while the ideas and technology in OS 6 will be based on some of Be's stuff, there would be virtualy no code in common between the...

Cool thing is, from what I understand, Palm OS 5 is much more modular when it comes to imput styles as well, so Apple could possibly put the HWR from the MP2000 (hopefully updated) onto a Palm device. That would be pretty damn cool.

You seem to be the same type of person who gets mad because the 2002 car they just purchased is cheeper after the 2003 models are released. What, did you think that Apple wasn't going to update the laptops? Or did you expect them to be a Wal*Mart and do some sort of price matching?

I think what you are talking about is the hack that you could preform on some of the pre-Public Beta releases of OS X Client to get it to default back to the OS X Server 1.2 GUI. Basically you would just remove the resource file for Aqua and it would revert most of the GUI back, but it also...

i just 'rm -rf'ed it. worked quite well. What error are you getting?

One would hope that it won't be all that buggy at release because a lot of the code can be shared with the Linux version. For instance, the engine already does OpenGL, because the Linux version needs OpenGL. So there should be quite a bit of code reuse between the Linux version and the Mac...

Umm.. last I heard blackcomb wasn't scrapped... just pushed back. Blackcomb was the OS that they were going to put the DB based file system in wasn't it? If so that OS is still in development as far as I know. But on to more important things... namely getting a enlarged copy of that...

I don't know if Elvis will be necessarily makeshift, softupdates on FreeBSD certainly isn't. Problem is that until it comes out and there are some KB articles on it, we won't really know how its being done. I do commend apple on doing something akin to softupdates though, because it will...

This would be a journaling file system, not a versioning one, so it only remember the changes that have been made recently. Say you were writing a file. The journal would be marked that you are writing to the file and that its in progress. When you finish writing to the file, it would mark...

I don't know much about configuring samba, but it doesn't sound like your router is doing anything to the config. You probably want it to act as a DHCP Server for your lan, but if you don't, you will need to manually config all your tcp prefs on all your machines.

from within the cli ftp client, you can also issue a "lcd dir" to change your working directory to the new dir. Very usefull if you forgot the change dir's before you started up ftp. You can also issue a "lls" to get a listing of the current working directory if you need to.

I have started using it again with 1.2 and its been a pretty good experiance. I do miss having a threaded view (although Entourage didn't sort the messages the way I liked), and I miss some of the keyboard short cuts I have gotten used to (Cmd+] to go to the next message, etc), but so far its...

This has been said before, but it bears repeating, the proc in question would not be a vanilla Power4 proc. It will be the GPuL (Giga Processor Ultra Light), which is a lower power, lower heat Power4 processor with a vector unit that, while it contains aproximately the same number of...

The Go To... field is very usefull in some apps, but completely useless in others. It helps, for example, if you want to open or save files to locations that are hidden (/usr, /var, etc), but those cases are rather rare for most users. As for services, they are quite usefull, in Cocoa apps...

Probably not relevant anymore but booting with CMD+OPT+a+v used to reset the connected Apple AV monitor.

It should be noted that, according to gnufoo, you need to patch cat before this will work. I know normal gnu cat doesn't have a '-a' option, so this just tends to make it complain.
