MacOSX.org has a great tutorial on exactly this topic: networking OS X and Windows machines. You can access the tutorial here.

Pff. College students like me have to pay for tuition. That makes US poorer. :p

Actually, if you have a GeForce card and you download Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com), you CAN take screenshots (and even movies) of DVDs running.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Isn't Steve Jobs' birthday on February 24th? :D That means 10.2 will be released exactly a year and 5 months after OS X 10.0 was released.

Like Mac OS X, not many people use the latest version of Windows. So, Apple is still giving facts in their commercials, not myths.

From your iPod, you should get AT LEAST a 10 hour battery life when fully charged. If not, you are having the same problem I had, and should take it in to an Apple Store or call Apple tech support. If this IS the problem, Apple will probably replace it for free like they did with mine.

I got a brief look at Jaguar at the Palo Alto Apple Store (see this thread). While I didn't have TOO much time to look at it, it definitely looked awesome. I don't know if it lives up to its hype (since I didn't use it very long), but as I said, it definitely looked awesome. :) Post any...

This doesn't work for me, either. I think this was an OS 9 feature, though. By the way, ElDiablo: the key commands for copying screenshots to the clipboard is with the CONTROL key, not the option key. So you would press Command-Control-Shift-3 to copy a screenshot to the clipboard, and...

Mail.app doesn't crash here, either. And while it gets a lot of really long, complicated words wrong, 99% of the words I use it flags correctly and suggest the correct spelling when I get it wrong. I find it to be actually very useful. Mail.app 1.2 (in Jaguar) will be VERY nice with the...

azosx: It's basically a trackpad like on laptops and stuff. You use it exactly the same way, except that it doesn't actually move. It seems like it would be much nicer, because it's not as vulnerable to dirt/other stuff, and there are no moving parts, but the downsides are the same as for...

D'oh. Isn't there a simple way to change the configuration of the binaries to run on a PPC-based FreeBSD system? It seems like it would be trivial, to me. But whatever... Where can I get gnuplot? Does it run on VMS? And doesn't work with perl? EDIT: By the way, does Mac OS X use...

I have this graphing utility called dislin, which is scientific data plotting software. It seems to be pretty nice (and the reason I need is for perl to be able to graph stuff on the web using a VMS machine, and it seems that this might work!). They have a free BSD version which I wanted...

It is actually $39 for both the HEADPHONES and the remote. $39 for the case is correct, though. I need new headphones for my new iPod (got my 5 giger replaced for free because it had bad battery life), and so I will be getting the new ones when they come out. Yay for the remote! That will...

IE is MICROSOFT'S problem, not Apple's. Finder windows, and browsers like OmniWeb resize pretty well as it is without Quartz Extreme. IE is just crap.

You don't HAVE to use iTunes if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to use iMovie if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to use iDVD if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to use iPhoto if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to use iCal if you don't want to. You don't HAVE to use iSync if you don't...

No.. but Finder window resizing was super-smooth.. of course, resizing in IE was STILL dog-slow (figures as much.. I should have done Apple a favor and downloaded & installed OmniWeb :p ).

btoneill, you have said so elegantly what I was trying to say in the Mac News & Rumors Discussion. People must understand that Apple needs to make money, and all this web hosting and e-mail is not free. Again, thank you for just coming out and saying it like it is. (One thing I would like...

Does anybody know of any module for perl that is decent enough to make graphs from x-y coordinates? I found a great one that looks like exactly what I need, but you need to install tons of extras to perl, and I don't particularly want to do that. Plus, what I install/create must be able to...

I'm on my mom's iBook, so I don't want do any modifications (and I don't have a CD-R on hand here at work, either), but it looks like some of the users over at www.macosxhints.com may have found a solution. In ~/Library/Preferences/ , find the file called "com.apple.DiskCopy.plist". Open it...

Personally, I think .Mac is worth it, and I'm not a newbie Mac user. I would REALLY LIKE the 100 MB of iDisk space (chemistry_geek: some of us DO have broadband connections, you know), and having 15 MB of e-mail space will be really nice too. Every once in a while I get a large attachment and...
