    Open source QuarkXPress editor...

    Quark probably doesn't mind that much that others can open files created with QXP, but they sure as h**ll don't want anyone else to be able to save in their format. Adobe managed to reverse engineer the old format (QXP 3.3 - 4.11) so InDesign can open and convert those files. However...

    silly question about groups

    Simple answer: No. Not-so-simple answer: not really, but you could do a workaround, and create new accounts for each group, to allow login with one set of group privileges at a time.

    Open source QuarkXPress editor...

    No, it isn't. Scribus doesn't open or save in QuarkXPress format files. The only application that opens and saves QXP documents is QuarkXPress, and sometimes not even QuarkXPress will do it. QuarkXPress 6 will not open a QXP 4 document for example... If you need to edit a QuarkXPress...

    Question about key commands

    Default Folder will let you do it too, with the added benefit of letting you use those shortcuts in open/save dialogues as well.

    How do I set up to switch back and forth on my mac & pc?

    Well, almost no wires, you still need a network cable... First, figure out the network address of both computers. Then get the free "Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac" here: http://tinyurl.com/pshn Then start "Terminal Services" on your PC, and set it to only allow connections...

    MySQL ER Diagram software? Is there any of OS X?

    Yep. And it's cheap too: http://www.malcolmhardie.com/sqleditor/cocoa/ 30 day free trial, $55 to buy. I use it a lot, it has some quirks, but generally works fine.

    Wierd Characters Appearing In 10.4.2... Bug?

    Did you install Microsoft Office X or Microsoft Office 2004? I remember that I had that problem too for a while back then, but right now I can't recall exactly what the solution was. I can check back with a colleague who does remember (he fixed it for someone else a copule of weeks ago, but I...

    Windows Newbie: Need help automating print jobs :(

    You can set up a desktop printer, and if you drag and drop documents to it, they will open in their respective application, with the print dialog open. If you don't need to change the settings, you just click "Print" and you're done. Here are a few things to try, they were written for...

    I need help from the experts...

    Yep, you need a split cable instead, not a second video card. Just get yourself a video cable with one male and two female connectors and it'll work just fine. I've done that pretty often while running presentations on two external screens.

    OSX Key Commands

    Try Butler, or some other app that lets you create your own shortcuts (LaunchItems, iKey, QuickKeys, FastScripts etc), there are a lot of them around. You'll have to pay for most of them (the ones that work at least). Try a search on versiontracker: http://tinyurl.com/bklx8

    networking two imacs with firwire cable

    All you have to do is to enable "IP over FireWire", and if you look in System Preferences > Network, you should see that you now have a new network port. Just activate DHCP on that port on both computers, and they'll find each other. You can still use Internet on both machines, the Mac OS can...

    Problem with php (or apache) on my G5

    Turn register_globals OFF again! It's a security risk, which is why it's turned off by default. Get used to using $_GET["foo"] instead, or use "extract($_GET)" or "import_request_variables". The "extract($_GET)" will create local variables with the same names as the keys in $_GET, and then...

    Unable to Verify Ssl Server

    The dialogue says that the certificate on the server can't be validated by a third party. This could mean that the server admin created his own certificate, to enable encrypted sessions without having to pay for validation service. It could also mean that the servers certificate has expired. A...

    Print server question

    When you plug in the IOGear Print Server, it gets an IP address from your LAN's DHCP server or router, and begins broadcasting its own presence via Rendezvous. Launch Safari, open Safari preferences, click the Bookmarks pane, and click "Include Rendezvous" in your Bookmarks Bar setting...

    Mobile phone sync questions

    Miss_Lateralus, as I haven't bought anything from this particular company, I can't vouch for them. However, I've bought items over the Internet for several thousand dollars over the past ten years, and so far I've never had any trouble. I don't suspect that you will get into any through buying...

    ftp and webdav problems

    FTP support in Finder is read only. Use a client application like RBrowser Lite, CyberDuck or similar if you want to upload. The webdav connection should work fine, but it can be sketchy sometimes. Since you only have problems from remote locations, you might want to check that all the...

    Why Am I Seeing Other Networks on My Computer?

    This is only true regarding the information that you received from, and send in through a form on that page. Nothing else. If you're using your mail application simultaneously, the email isn't encrypted just because you have a web page with a padlock on it open. However, as I stated earlier...

    Need help with URL encoding

    ...then just send them as a POST array instead. If you still want to use GET, you'll have to come up with an encryption algorithm, to first code it and send it, and then receive, decode and parse it. Depending on how difficult you want the decoding to be, i.e. how hard it should be for your...
