I have a 12" powerbook, on which I mainly do software development. I frequently use a lot of CPU time doing processor intensive tasks like compiling code, etc and want to get as much battery life as possible out of my machine, even if it runs a bit more slowly. To this end, I decided to set my...

I'm using XCode 2.1 for a personal project. It seems that (in the text editor) sometimes after saving, XCode "forgets" what line endings the current file is using and saves the file with unix encodings, even if the file currently uses Windows endings. This makes for very annoying diffs...

I did look in the build configurations and couldn't find anything. I'll look again later on today just to make sure. Thanks for the code. It won't help in this particular instance as I'd like to keep the mac and windows projects exactly the same in terms of directory structure, for the time...

I've got a project that I've had building in XCode for a while now, and I've just upgraded to 2.1. My project setup had the executable (package) going into the root of its own directory structure that contains data files, log files, etc. I realize that this probably isn't the best way to do this...

I'm running 10.4.1 on a 12" powerbook, 1.5 ghz. Recently I noticed the fan coming on more often than it used to, and I started watching the Activity Monitor's CPU history. I notice that usage tends to spike up from its idle every few moments (maybe around once per minute, give or take a few...

I've heard that powerbook batteries are hot-swappable, as in you can sleep the machine and remove the battery, and even if not plugged into AC power you have about a minute to put in a new battery, courtesy of a small backup battery. I've also heard this feature is not present in the 12"...

Seems like there should be no problem here then, right? I was under the impression that the TiBooks were more given to warping and problems of that nature than the AlBooks.

I've got a new aluminum 12" powerbook, which I plan to take back and forth with me to school a lot. The carrying solution I decided to go with was to put the 'book in one of SpireUSA's horizontal boots and and carry it in my backpack with the rest of my stuff. This means though that...

My latch isn't damaged yet such that it opens when it's not supposed to. The reason I wanted to do this actually was that when I take my powerbook places I like to put in one of the radtech screensaverz sheets to protect the screen, but I usually don't put it in when the computer's sitting on my...

Is there any way I can, from the terminal, open a new terminal window in the current directory or any arbitrary directory? It gets kind of annoying having to use apple-N and then navigate where I want to go every time I want to spawn a new window.

I've read threads about forcing your powerbook to keep running when you close its lid, but I'm interesting in trying to make my 'book not wake up when I open the screen. Does anyone know of any ways to do this?
