    Need help with PHP script for IP address of sites

    Bill's method should work as well as you can get it programatically without having to index the web with a spider or refer to an existing index. As for checking the IP for a domain, you can use gethostbyname(): http://no.php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyname.php

    Unicode support

    Which language are you using? iconv does character set conversion and is available through C languages and many script languages. Check out 'man iconv' in the Terminal.

    Is this true about Macs?

    None of the reasons mentioned in that article should cause corruption to any proper database. MS Access would definitely not get FCC approval if it was a radio device. Simple solution, as already mentioned: use another database :)

    iChat suddenly unreliable

    Have there been any changes in your network configuration, hardware or software, or have you installed or started using any new software lately? It sounds more like a bug in iChat than anything else though, so you should probably try the universal cure of removing the preferences file...

    WMV Done Right, by Microsoft!

    I have yet to see any WMV based broadcast / internet tv work with flip4mac though, a factor which makes flip4mac a quite unimpressive piece of software that was hardly worth paying for before Microsoft made it free.

    WARNING - don't install 10.4.11 - includes new, buggy Safari

    I haven't personally come across this problem which certainly sounds annoying - but why don't you just continue using the same window rather than creating a new window for every page you visit? ^^

    WARNING - don't install 10.4.11 - includes new, buggy Safari

    I can't really understand how a web application written for an earlier version of Safari is broken in Safari 3. They must be quite incompetent if they need to rewrite significant portions of the software ($10 000 answers to quite a lot of work) to make it compatible with a newer browser. It...

    Anyone here running an iPhone in New Zealand?

    Can't think of any reason it shouldn't work : ) EDGE should be quite straight forward to configure.

    Adobe says: CS3 not fully tested for Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard"

    My hope is that Apple is working on a Photoshop competitor. It doesn't seem that unlikely from a technical perspective given the large number of frameworks Apple have developed for their pro apps and iWork/iLife suite.

    The new keyboards!

    I prefer the wired one because I find wireless mice too slow to be usable, and I need somewhere to plug my USB mighty mouse :) Got one of the new keyboards recently and like both the design and feel very much. Better than the MBP keyboard even.

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql \ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql* \ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/mysql should remove most of it : )

    The Political Compass- Where are YOU?

    The Political Compass- Where are YOU?

    The 'socialism' term is wide enough to cover diverse political views, and I think the limit to what can be defined as socialism is rather the degree of authoritarianism than libertarianism. It's a debated question of definition, similar to that of the term 'democracy'. Both the president of the...

    Stock management suggestions

    I don't have any software to recommend but I might be able to develop a custom solution within that budget, depending on exact specs and code reusability. The cost would be for the development itself and the code would be distrubuted as open source afterwards if okay'ed.

    AppleTV is hot!

    Sparks can occur because of the electrical potential difference between the AppleTV transformer and the power network, so it's not necessarly abnormal. The heat is most likely coming from the processors. I'd say nothing is wrong unless it's the power cable or connector that's getting hot or...

    pages problem

    Here's a method to find if there's anything to be recovered in the document: Right-click (or hold down control and click) the pages document to display its contextual menu. Choose "Show package contents". There should be a file inside named "index.xml.gz". Copy it to the desktop and...

    Powermac doesn't seem to recognize a new internal hard drive

    Everything seems normal : ) Click on your new disk in the list on the left, select the Erase tab, choose "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)" from the menu, name your disk whatever you want and click Erase. Then your disk should appear on the desktop. Eventually you may partition the disk from...
