...the Divx codec? If so, go to http://www.divx.com and download the beta Mac OS X software; it works great and includes a spiffy utility which converts .avi file descriptions so they play correctly in QuickTime. If it's not Divx, well, then, nevermind!

Actually, put the fonts in ~/Library/Fonts. ~, of course, is UNIXspeak for a user's home directory, i.e., /Users/stevejobs/Library/Fonts. Theoretically, if you drop them into /Library/Fonts, or in /System/Library/Fonts, they will be available to others, but I've found that the user-based...

The Internet Plug-Ins folder in questions should be at filepath /Library/Internet Plug-Ins. As far as I know, all web browser plugins reside here, all browsers look there for plugins, but not all browsers can recognize all plugins. If you create that folder manually, the installation process...

Mail.app is the best; explore the documentation and see how small and efficient UNIX apps can be. I hack through ~20 e-mails a day, every day, and have only glowing praise for Mail.app. Other programs, particularly those which are only Carbonized, as opposed to true Cocoa apps, simply do not...

macfreak88, I have LOTS of man pages in nicely packaged PDFs; just e-mail me a list of the commands you're interested in and I'll e-mail the PDFs back. PS: check my signature--it's my favorite man entry ever.

TransparentDock offers a reset button when it first launches as well. It's a wonderful freeware utility which Apple should build into OS X.

OmniGroup's URL is http://www.omnigroup.com. OmniWeb is wonderful; I'm using it right now.

Nothing at all is stopping me from running OS X exclusively! Photoshop 7.0 is just like I predicted (sorry about the gloating) it would be--the absolute BEST Carbonization I know of. They went so far as to use InDesin (although the code base was much newer) and Illustrator as guinea pigs. It's...

Beautiful reference. I thought someone should compliment you (no offense to those of you reading this thread who didn't).

...System 7 (6, even!) user; I've been on Macs since '84 and Apple ][s before that. I agree with testuser--some hacks may be empirical to some people, but a basic techincal explaination should be available for every hack.

...if it's a kernel issue we have to wait. dricci, what does Redmond have to do with RealPlayer?

WTF do we have to do to port RealPlayer to OS X? There is a Linux PPC version of RealPlayer. As I understand it, KDE/Gnome are X11 variants, SO...what else do we need? Libraries? Scripts? Magic?

...I trust testuser implicitly and am on the same proverbial wavelength with him/her (him?), but this time I have to disagree. Obviously, if the volume change is the only OS behavior affected, we are either setting the volume for that event to zero, or telling it to access a null sound. It...

More info, please, dricci. What's required?

OK. So, as the Mac community, we have various UNIX/Liunx versions of RealPlayer from which to start. Am I incorrect in my lead that the Linux PPC version will be the best jumping-off point? As long as the libraries are there (ay, there's the rub), all that would be required would be an X...

Why not Mail.app? It doesn't crash. At all. Seriously, tho', only use MS garbage for compatibility if you absolutely have to. Excel files, etc... Other than that, why bother with Redmond's bull$hit? Life is too short...

4800b475?!?!?!? Check the directions on ResExcellence! The search box and the text don't match! My system is fine with 4800b475 changed to 60000000.

My line 00024whatever didn't have those values in it; in fact, my document didn't have those values in it. I have a revision D iMac and 10.1.4 with the Pro Mouse and Pro Keyboard. Any ideas?

Actually, Pacifist put the 5.1 Preview version of IE direct from the CD, but Software Update didn't show the 5.1.4 patch, so I copied the whole program from my XGF's iMac onto Zip and did it that way. FTP was no-go, but maybe File Sharing (AFP) would work, too. And, lethe, Pacifist probably...

Pacifist is the coolest thing I've ever seen. lethe, thank you for the code--I'm sure that the various hacks I've applied to this system messed it up. That notwithstanding, Pacifist has earned a permenant home on my machine and I recommend it to EVERYONE. Peace out! (awful pun intended)
