No one seems to buy the argument that right-clicking is confusing for new users. Well, I've seen it first hand, and it definately is a problem. I teach an Intro to Computing course at a local university. The scope of the class is basically becoming proficient in the MS Office suite, some...

I'm not using it to represent a number, exactly. More so I've come up with a scheme to represent something else as 1s and 0s. And while I don't need all the bit manipulations available for normal bit-strings, the left and right shift are necessary and fast. That is why I was looking for the...

You can't find any because all *good* hip-hop beats are stolen from old tv shows. jk

Actually, 64 bits won't cut it. Neither will 128 or 256. I need several thousand. Anything?

I have a situation where I want to have a string of bits *much* larger than what is allowed (32 bits I believe). I am wondering if there is a way to combine several of these 32 bit units to create one larger unit. I need to be able to to various operations on said unit like bit shifting...

I was trying pith helmet out and I really like the functionality. What I don't like is the instability it causes for Safari. Are there any alternatives that do the same thing?

any other sites reporting? apparently wireless access is nil at the event.

This is arguably the worst "rumor" ever. I think I can do this. - Apple expected to ship new machines in the future with different specs than the current offering - New OS to include updated versions of certain iApps - New user icons expected in next version of Apple's flagship OS -...

I'm guessing you aren't all too familiar with web dev to begin with, so if I'm wrong, I apologize. That said, I'd recommend rapidweaver from realmacsoftware.com Past that, I'm not sure what else makes web dev easy. You can always use things like dreamweaver from macromedia, but it costs...

I was doing some guassian goodness with SciPy using python. I guess it depends on what you are doing.

So I'm looking to buy an HDTV, but I'm having problems picking one out. I go to stores and look at them and go "ooooh pretty...", but I don't know the difference between some things that I probably should know about. Like plasma vs lcd? I've heard that one is better than the other (and...

Sorry, not textpad, TextMate!

I know this is a bit late, but Java and JavaScript are NOT related.

Ok, almost there. The "system" call is what I need for at least part of it. I think I need NSTask for some other goodness. Is NSTask the only way I can go about getting the output from said system command?

How can I execute a system command from a obj-c program? I just want to be able to execute something like 'ls -l'. I can't find anything to help me out with this. Ideas?

Easy attempt: unplug your mouse and plug it back in. Fixes mine when it gets weird.

Or, the blue one! It was purty.

I don't know if you can. I have downloaded Adobe Reader for just such needs.

I have to disagree with this. That just doesn't make sense then that the Linux market share has grown like it does. The only computers that get sold in any real quantity with linux on them are server machines and I can't see linux achieving the numbers that they have with those machines alone.

I think the hype comes more from the sites like engadget where the audience is all about the latest and greatest. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of hoo-ha or concern from the general public. I've said this before, but I don't need a cell phone to do much other than make phone calls...
