I regularly use rdesktop to redirect the screen output of a Windows Terminal Server to X11. But this is not running Wintel apps on X11 at all ;)

I do software development on my TiBook. However, I'm almost always attached to a network consisting of several Unix boxes. With X11 I can do cross-platform software development across all the machines in the network, having them to open their windows on my TiBook's screen. This is the fantastic...

Regarding your other Q: There is no installer database as on Windows. Uninstalling software is just deleting it. However, things have become a bit more complex in OS X because some apps require more than just the executable files (e.g. system-specific preferences, user-specific preferences...

As I already said, there's quite a lot of software which simply refuses to install to a partition different from the system partition. Some examples: * almost everything from Apple * Steinberg software, e.g. Cubase SX * Roxio Toast Titanium * Utilities such as Logitech Mouse Software I...

A compiler is nothing without the libraries and header files, that is, there is no C/C++ compiler which just consists of only a few small files. Make room and install the DevTools, this will provide you with everything you need. Disk space is cheaper than ever :)

Plese check if you recently updated your OS X. If so, it is required to re-install the Developer Tools. This might fix your problem.

I am very very happy with the Canon i550. I got it for 150 Euros, this is 50 Euros more than your budget allows (assumed that 1 Euro is more or less 1 US$). However, you get cheap single-ink replacement tanks which will pay off more than 50 Euros very soon. Print quality is excellent, the...

Forgot to answer your other questions: My system partition is 20GB (I have a 60 GB harddisk in my TiBook). This way I (hopefully) have enough room for any applications I want to install. Maybe this will turn out to be a big waste of space, so what? If you decide to partition your drive...

Most apps require to be installed on the system partition. At a first glance, this suggests that partitioning a drive makes no sense anyway. However, should you ever be in need to reinstall the OS or even reformat your system partition you will be lucky if you have at least your data on a...

If you prefix the topic with [HOWTO] people expect that you explain something, not ask something. Regarding your question: http://stories.curry.com/portForwardingOsx

Your problem is probably related to the following thread: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29946&highlight=battery Also happened to me after the 10.2.4 incremental update. Check if you suffer the same problem as described above. If yes, try to get a replacement battery...

I can recommend the following book: http://www.aw.com/catalog/academic/product/1,4096,0201824701,00.html The original C++ doc came from Bjarne Stroustrup himself. There are useful links on his homepage: http://www.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html Regarding the gcc compilers, you find...

Please google on your own since I have only limited time. It is very simple. Here is what I found at a first glance: http://www.nccworld.net/serv01.htm http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/NETWORK/chap4/chap4.htm http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/6355.htm

Sorry, but that's not true. 10baseT and 100baseT use the same two wire pairs 1/2 and 3/6. Gigabit Ethernet (1000baseT) uses all four pairs 1/2, 3/6, 4/5 and 7/8. The cables have different categories. The cable category suited for 100baseT is CAT5. If you have a CAT3 cable it won't work for...

Hint: Use the -fexceptions compiler option to enable try/catch with gcc 2. I assume this is the default for gcc 3 but not for gcc 2.

OK, I found out that there are in fact some incompatibilities regarding the gcc 3.1 which comes with the Mac OSX Developer Tools. There are some of the ios flags missing, don't ask me why, I didn't find any hint that the noreplace flag has been obsoleted. I guess these are still unresolved...

cin.getline >> Target; wrong syntax! Try instead: cin.getline(target, sizeof(Target)); The prototype is: istream& getline(char* ptr, int len, char delim = '\n'); About the noreplace issue I'll come back later, ok?

sorry, I have to correct regarding answer 1: file.open(filename, ios::out | ios::noreplace);

answer 1: file.open(filename, ios::noreplace); answer 2: use the getline function instead cin.getline(filename, sizeof(filename));

OMG I didn't expect that somebody would post his entire syslog into this forum... Anyway, these are the two messages which happen just before your system goes down: May 12 19:01:31 Interwebs-Mac loginwindow[350]: sendQuitEventToApp (MicrosoftMouseHelper): AESendWithMach returned error -609...
