With a bash like shell you can place the following in ~/.profile: alias sha1="/usr/bin/openssl sha1" Which really creates a shortcut, that's what 'alias' is for!!

Just incase someone searched for this and want to know how to do it, this is the command: openssl sha1 <path/filename.ext>

Yea but is that the best way? Isn't there something better when doing UNIX to UNIX? Like NFS or something?

When sharing files between Mac and Windows over a network cable, it is very easy, simply use Samba in SysPref/Sharing. What about Mac to Mac and other UNIX OS? What would be the best way to share files? Just as above, one single network cable connecting the 2 computers. Thanks.

I'll just go USB then, thanks.

I noticed that there is an Airport slot in my iMac G3, anyone know exactly what kind of wireless card would it take? Would it work with the normal Cardbus/PCMCIA one? I want to install wireless to the iMac and now I had to choose between usb or cardbus... I guess cardbus would be the...

OS X comes with python 2.3... But I need 2.4, what is the best way to upgrade to 2.4? I could use MacPorts... but that installs a separate python in a different directory...

I am surprised that it shocked the FLOSS community... it is under GPL and FLOSS can always fork it if they want to.

I just did a virus scan on / directory using clamav on my new Mac. (Brought last Tuesday.) # clamdscan / /private/var/vm//sleepimage: Flooder.DoS.Mixter FOUND /private/var/vm/sleepimage is infected with "Flooder.DoS.Mixter" I am a bit worried, is it because of the sleepimage is a sleep image...

Well TurboMemory's effectiveness isn't really that ex-ordinary - benchmarks showing little to no performance improvement: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=2985&p=4 http://xtreview.com/review194.htm That is, if you have like 1 GiB or more of RAM, it is not going to...

For one thing the format is very well documented with very, very fine details: http://blog.janik.cz//images/OOXMLSpec.png All 6'000 pages of it...

Why not just reject the file from whoever send you it? Heck I have been reject all .doc files from last year.

My guess it would be 2008, the release date for Asia. I know Australia is not Asia, but it is the closest to it geographically.

Does the increased FSB Speed improve performance given that the RAM still runs at 667mhz?

Yea that's what I think... but wanted to make sure. I think I'll go to a local reseller tomorrow, too bad they don't have genius bar here. :(

I know it is the 15" MBP, so it is for both glossy and matte, not just glossy or vice versa, right?

And I take "might" very seriously - I have been using Pages for sometime now, and got rid of MS Office for Mac because of it; and with the free opensource alternatives like OO.o, Apple should really push iWork on new Macs for free... but there is still a certain level of doubts in it...

But to a switcher who doesn't know what iLife is about, might think iWork is part of it simply because it starts with an 'i' and is installed on the Mac, and of course, quicktime not being able to do full screen and stuff... they might feel, cheated.

Yea Netinfo seems to be a bit easier... I mean, what's dscl? Kind of counter-intuitive compared to groupadd and stuff.

Thanks guys!! There are so many ways!!!
