Actually, it's perl code that comes from a T-shirt that some web site was selling. If you run the code, you get: The 3 great virtues of a programmer: Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris. --Larry Wall Take it as evidence of what nikuvu said: "Any language can be...

Ahem. Internet Explorer is fast on Windows because it is Windows. iCab is the fastest browser for OS X, hands down. No, it doesn't render everything quite right, but that's partly because so many web developers think everyone is running Internet Explorer on Windows. Why do I think iCab...

Not in my finder. I'd love to have my spring loaded folders back - do you know something I don't?

It might be a pissing contest among unix programmers, but I'm not really a unix programmer, so I can't say. perl is my favorite for two reasons, both of which have to do with the way it looks: 1. A page of perl code doing some good stuff looks like what I think a page of code should look...

Sounds like the arm hit the platter. Grinding noises are bad. Assuming you didn't hit it with your hammer or use it as an ashtray, you're probably still under warranty. You should call your hdd company and see if they'll send you a new one, or at least see if they have any advice. As for the...

ANSI C sucks :D Usually you stomp your feet and sware a lot. Sometimes the header files from one framework get in the way of the header files from the other framework, and you get conflicting definitions. Sometimes you can fix this copying the definition that you think is right into your...

Arrr! Admiral, now you've incurred the wrath of Junior Member Shrill!! :p C is the best language around: It runs on everything, it let's you do high level without a weirdo scripting language OR low level programming without an assembler! More than that, from the ashes of C spawned C++...

I assume you're having trouble with the Sherlock part of it? In Sherlock, select "Applications" from the "Custom" popup menu. Make sure the hard disk that you want to search is selected (not your home directory), and press Enter. This will give you a list of every program that you have on...

It looks like it might be in alpha order, but grouped by directories (everything in Applications is in order, then everything in Applications/Utilities, etc.). You could use Sherlock to find applications only, then sort Sherlock's list however you like. - shrill -

Most likely the upgrade will ask you for your PS 6 CD-ROM, or perhaps it's serial number. My PS 7 upgrade hasn't arrived yet, or I could tell you for sure. Chances are that if you just copied the photoshop folder, you've lost your registration info anyway (which is probably stored in the...

Ok, mystery solved (sorry, no X file here :). I grep'ed the entire drive. It took a while, but I found out where it's coming from: the beta driver for my Logitech mouse. *nice* At least now I know where the reference is from, thanks.

So I'm looking at my console, trying to see if it will offer any insight into this problem that I'm having, and I see a bunch of the following messages, repeated every minute or so, and going back all the way to the beginning of the log: "Wearly I sit here, pain and misery my only...

I've got a Titanium PB G4 with a couple spots on the screen. Anyone have some advice how to clean them off without leaving streaks or scratches? Anyone know what not to do? :D A few of them came off with a dry cotton cloth, but the others are stuck. I have a feeling I sneezed on it or something.

jackshedd .. point well taken. When i was working tech support a while back, we learned quickly that the worst calls were always the people who announced "and you can talk tech to me, I've got an MSCE" at the beginning of the call. This more often than not meant that you had to speak...

I'd check the memory. Beige G3's are picky with their DIMMs, especially new ones and high densities (>128MB). If you have a 256 dimm and a 128, or a 256 and two 64's, try taking out the 256 for the OS X instal and see what happens. For the record, i've got a beige g3/266 minitower with...

Is this a new offer? What about folks like me who pre-registered a while back? Am I eligible for this book? (off topic, sorry, but I'm interested)

Whether a program can respond to a click in the background has to do with a bit that is set in the program. As the program is clicked on, and brought to the foreground, the bit tells the OS whether to ignore the click, or give it to the program (so the buttons get pressed, or something gets...

Ahh, I stand corrected. That's good to know. To be honest, I haven't looked into Apple's program for a while. I was laid off in February, and went back to school instead of competing with the quarter million other tech people laid off up here :p

I took the test, and am Mac OS X certified now (can't wait to see my certificate!). I'm still waiting for the other certifications (Classic Mac OS and Mac OS Hardware) to come online, so I can be a "MacCSE." I know for me, the certification was important since there really aren't any Mac...

Another thing .. you can use the Save As.. command in Software Update's file menu to save the packages instead of install them. Obviously this isn't worth much unless your work machine needs the same updates as your home machine, but it works ;)
