Wondering what instruments people play around here. I'm a bassist (that is, electric bass guitar). For the sake of this poll, I'm not going to start a debate over whether resampling is creating music, and put it in also.

It's for putting those small vinyl records onto a turntable, because the small ones have huge centre holes.

I'm curious, I opened up the terminal and noticed that my folder shortcuts are files and not directories (symlnks), which is no great surprise. What did surprise me was that cat "DevTools" returned nothing... So this is a file with no content? Does it have to do with the resource/data fork...

I was just wondering if anyone has any brilliant suggestions as to how I can best record my bass guitar (and other analogue and digital/MIDI instruments) WITHOUT an external sampler? I'm a student, an unemployed student at that, and I've got lots of Scottish blood... ;) I know at presant I...

I bike for 1.5 - 2.5 hours a day, that is, when it's not 45 degrees (centigrade) and a UV index of 9 outside like it is now... :rolleyes: Come to think of it, I've got signatures for my bass guitar setup, iMac setup, LAN setup, now maybe I'll add one for my bike setup :) ``Gwailo...

I don't feel terribly inclined to try this software, BUT I hav never seen so much in response to a program on VT before! Holy cow there's pages of stuff there, and unfortunately all negative. Without having tried this myself (i.e., not knowing what it's like), perhaps those guys should try...

Which screensaver are you using? I assume that you can SSH in when the screensaver is off?

It's one of the reasons I moved to X so fast.

I'm working on a PrefPane in IB/PB and for some reason, when I load it into my /Library/PrefPanes/ folder and it appears in my System Preferences list and I click on it, the default window appears in a detatched window for a flash of a second, then is displayed in the regular System Preferences...

I knew about ``mesg`` but not ``wall`` (short form of write all?) which is exactly what I needed. Thanks a bunch testuser! PS Is there a way I can disable ordinary users from ``mesg n``-ing? For example, putting ``mesg y`` into .login? And if ``mesg n`` has been issued, and I send a...

I'm working on two small projects that call for adding custom preference panes to the System Preferences window (e.g., TinkerTool). How do I build and add a pane like that? Do I just make a regular window (.nib), size it appropriately put it into PB and then rename the build as a ".pane"...

I've got multiple users set up on my OS X iMac to login remotely so they can practice their linux skills. I've added msgs and mail to their and to my login scripts so they can see system messages at login. However, I've not been able to SEND any messages to people. I've found this because...

I'm not familiar with that particular model, but is there a designated upstream port for internet connection/connecting to another hub? It might be on the back (my home router's is on the back). If so, and it's not connected to that, give that a try. Secondly, have a look at the software...

I'm using BrickHouse to configure and manage OS X's firewall. I'm on a home LAN (SMC Barricade DSL router). I have logging enabled so I can monitor 'net traffic. One day I'll get 450-or-so hits to my firewall; the next day (like today) I get a grand total of 0. What's going on? Am I just...

I would love, personally, to see the ability to use the numberpad to input numbers and operations into the calculator. Actually, to be more precise, I'd never use one that didn't (i.e., one that required me to click all over the place). But it's a really cool app nonetheless :)

Hey nice app. I especially like the tickertape and notes drawers! One thing I noticed: I opened the spelling window just for fun, but accidentally hit Apple-W to close it. But it closed the focused main application window instead :p. Heh the app still runs, but there's no way to bring the...

Anyone have a Folding@home Team designation I can add myself to? ;)

Why not just boot direct to console mode? [COMMAND]+[S]

Dedicated is a computer dedicated to you alone, shared is well, a shared computer. With Windows you get stuff like Microsoft IIS to access ODBC/Access databases, that I don't think you can get with Linux. Linux I find to be a bit more stable, a bit faster, and eaiser to use. I suppose it's...
