You mean like this one? http://www.apple.com/euro/ It is a real Apple site, of that I have little doubt so let us end that line of argument. 1) There is a link to it from the main Apple website. 2) It uses all of the current Apple graphics and layout, not counting the one page. That...

I have not had any problems, though I mostly use Camino now. Do you use any plug-ins? Perhaps one of those is causing your difficulties.

I donated. In all honesty I would not have donated if not for the inconvenience though, at least not yet. I have not been coming here long enough to decide whether I am here to stay or not. Left to my own devices I probably would have donated in 3-4 months if I were still around. So I guess...

Not conclusive but I fell back on old reliable and googled for "Apple Portugal" and www.apple.com.pt was the first link. Search for "Apple Portugal Airport" and it goes to the defaced page. So yes, the Portugal Apple site seems to have a vandal. EDIT: Also, in order for it to be a spoofed...

I used to think the same thing, and the answer is very little. Or at least very little that most people would care about. What a finance program does give you over a spreadsheet is ease of data analysis. Most anything that can be done in a finance program can be done in a spreadsheet, but...

Any spreadsheet can do what you are asking for, I would suggest a real finance program though. Quicken and iCash are the two obvious ones that come to mind.

To be honest, the first time I read it I thought it was serious down until the last paragraph. I kept thinking "WTF? Either this guy is an idiot, has an agenda, or is an idiot with an agenda." It did not occur to me to read it as satire. The last paragraph makes it pretty apparent that it is...

Sorry could not resist. ;) I must have missed that case though. I have seen quite a few threatened law suits but very few make it to court. None that I know of makes any reasonable precedent to base acceptable actions under DMCA. But I am not a lawyer and following this stuff is more a hobby...

True, perhaps I should have explained better. iBooks and PowerBooks seem to have about a 6-9 month lifecycle. This last update for the PowerBook was on the ouside of that range at 9 months. I would not expect an iBook update before April based on this. If an iBook meets it's normal release...

Ah, otool, thanks Darkshadow. I knew there was a command with similar functionality just could not remember what it was.

Well a new iBook is not all that likely since they were updated in October (by the macrumors buying guide). On the other hand a G5 notebook mid year (late June through early August) is not completely out of line for Apple's historic release schedule.

To connect to an ssh server you need an account on the server. This is true regardless of hosting platform. Anonymous FTP is normal (though not necessarily wise) but anonymous ssh is not. If someone were so inclined they could create and authorize an "anonymous" account to connect without...

You can not easily connect two subnets using ssh, you could connect to an ssh server and forward to your mail server though. ssh -L 2222:your.imap.server:143 youraccount@your.ssh.server assuming your IMAP server is running on 143 you could then connect to it from port 2222 on the...

It is part of the base install, or maybe the developer install. I have it anyway and I know I did not explicitly install it. What I find odd is that you are not getting an error message. I would have expected either a "command not found" or "file not executable" error. Did you check the...

Not that I disagree entirely, but what case has been posed that is trivial? I have seen reports of a number of cases where the defendant is almost positively not the guilty party, but none where the level of offense would be considered trivial. Copyright law is broken IMHO, but mostly in...

Correct DMCA covers any DRM protected media. However, by the CD specification, if a media uses DRM it would no longer be compliant. There was a snit about this 4-5 months ago and the effected discs had to remove the CD compliance label from the packaging. Granted the difference is a...

I concur with everything Viro stated. I would have really liked FW800 for my external drives. I can live without it but I would say that was my biggest let down between the 12 and 15 inch PBs. Adding to that I would have liked the backlit keyboard that is in the 15" PB but not the 12"...

Except GUI building Emacs does support all the above features. I prefer to use Eclipse though, which also does not have GUI building (at least not by default). I go back to Emacs when I need to do C/C++. For Java I find Eclipse better. For Objective-C XCode. NetBeans and JDeveloper are...

the console version of emacs comes with Mac OS X and is on the default path. "which emacs" locates emacs at "/usr/bin/emacs" which is the console version, not what you want. try "open <path to emacs>/Emacs.app" or whatever the app is called. So assuming that it is in the Applications...
