    Why not use PHP to grab the form data directly? Or is whatever the cgi is doing not possible to do with PHP?

    Beginning C++

    XCode is the preferred application to write code in for Mac OS X applications. Cocoa is one (of many) APIs that you can use when you create executable files (applications, tools, extensions etc) for Mac OS X. It comes with a framework, a library if you will, full of ready made objects that...

    which module for an APACHE local server

    Before you get started on scripts to store and retreive information, get to know SQL well. It'll take a couple of hours if you're used to any kind of programming, longer if you're a total beginner. Start here: http://sqlzoo.net Go to this site, and work through the examples in sections 1...

    which module for an APACHE local server

    Well, I sort of agree, and also disagree. I'll start by disagreeing: In forms where the user is submitting data that is to be stored on the server (such as in a user database or similar), you should never, ever use GET. Browsers may reload a GET URL automatically, particularly if cacheing is...

    which module for an APACHE local server

    You're using the method 'GET' in your form, which isn't recommended. First of all, it doesn't allow as much data as the 'POST' method, and second, it leads to long and unsightly urls in the browser window. There are also security issues, that I won't go into. Once you change the method to...

    File Don't Open With Default Application

    Ctrl-click the file, select "Open with->Other...". In the dialogue window, deselect "Recommended applications" and select "All applications" instead. Now find the application you want to open, select it and click ok. This problem is probably due to a problem with one or both of these files...

    Lockable Dock Icons

    Well, I tried my own suggestion (see above), and that was a total disaster. After noticing that id didn't affect the ability to alter the contents, I changed the owner back to the original. Then I restarted the Dock, and now it's in its default configuration. All the icons I put there manually...

    OS X desktop rebuild equivalent

    These files have been replaced by "com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.##.csstore" in "/Library/Caches/", where ## is a number. There may be several of these (I have three on my system). You may also want to trash the file "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" in "~/Library/Preferences" if your...

    Lockable Dock Icons

    By setting the owner of ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist to root and making it read-only for your current user, you would be forced to authenticate whenever you want to change it. That way you have an option to cancel whenever you make an unwanted change. I haven't tested it myself...

    SonicSwap myTunes could sort of almost do something similar, kinda. Find it here: http://tinyurl.com/abn62 Also, miniTunes could be worth checking out. http://zoffware.com/ None of these stay on your desktop, but there is a cool feature in "Windowshade X" that will let you keep any...

    Offendingcommand: Gn;0

    If you have Tiger, you might not need to run it through Distiller. Open the EPS in Preview, and choose Print..., then use the "Save as PDF/X" in the print dialogue. It's been a while since I used QXP, so I don't remember exactly how it looks like, but maybe you can access the "Save as PDF" in...

    You did state that you actually typed in the very thing you should've (but didn't) typed, so it should've worked, right? He might not be as used to students misrepresenting what they actually did as we are here...:D BTW, if you really want a really, really good book, with great support, try...

    how much memory am i using?

    This is really good advice. Seriously. I've lost count of how many of my clients've hosed their systems with the 'help' of Norton Disk Mauler. Try the disk repair first. If that doesn't make your system 'snappier', try moving your documents to another disk, format the old and reinstall. It...
