    hanging telnet

    Just a shot in the dark, have you tried changing your terminal emulation? Try something really lowest-common-denominator like "export TERM=vt100" or something like that.....

    OE Rules Corrupted

    See if there's a "Rules" file in [Your Home Directory]/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office Identity . If so drag it to the trash, then try to run Entourage and you should be OK.

    Perl help/101

    Hi - #! is a special syntax at the top of a script which basically means "run every line which follows this one through the specified interpreter". So the code you provided should be in a text file rather than entered on the command line. Of course you need more in your text file or you're...

    Aqua <-> X11

    No indeed, you're right. Clarity is A Good Thing (tm) :)

    Aqua <-> X11

    "launched using" != "started within", no? ;)

    Aqua <-> X11

    I'm guessing the "open" command should work. So you could add a non-KDE app to the taskbar and define the command as something like open /Applications/Safari.app.

    Boot Text

    Try opening a Terminal (in the /Applications/Utilities) and in there issue the command: nvram boot-args See if the output shows a "-v". If so, verbose booting is set to "on" in the open firmware and all you have to do to turn it off is remove the "-v" from the boot flags, e.g.: sudo nvram...

    Can my super drive play mini disks?

    The FAQ at minidisc.org relates to Sony's MD, you know the MD discs with a plastic case with the disc inside it. For the 'mini CD', Apple's official respose to this question is no. Only the full-size optical discs should be put in a slot-loading drive. The 3.5" mini CD will work on...

    Aqua <-> X11

    It's a one-way street I'm afraid. X11 apps with Apple's X11 look like and behave (to a point) like Aqua. Native mac apps won't work within KDE, Gnome etc. But there are ways to modify the Aqua interface to an extent using themes. Check out http://www.macthemes.net/ for examples of themes and...

    Why does Terminal automatically launch a command?

    Do you have a .plist file in your ~/Library/Preferences/ folder? Something called com.apple.Terminal.plist or something along those lines (sorry I can't be more specific, I'm not near my trusty powerbook ATM). Maybe it's got an "ExecutionString" defined in it? Try removing that setting (or...

    Environment variables and the mac terminal

    For bash, make sure that you export your defined environment variables, otherwise your sub-processes won't inherit them. Either MYENVVAR=someval export MYENVVAR or export MYENVVAR=someval will do the trick.

    Php vs Apache

    It's just that, the default settings which PHP employs if it doesn't have a config. file (it ignores the .defaults file). You need to make a copy of that file, call it php.ini, put your changes in there, *then* restart apache (via the sharing preference pane is fine).

    Php vs Apache

    mysql.default_socket = (line 658 in my /etc/php.ini file). If you make changes to this file you'll need to restart apache for the changes to take effect. I'd suggest a double-check that MySQL is actually running and that you can connect with the "mysql" or "mysqladmin" commands, just in case...

    Dark blue border on desktop screen

    Seems like Expose is activating when your cursor is near the top-left of the screen - Expose is the nifty trick where (by default) F11 shows the action you describe (remove all windows to reveal the desktop), F10 shows all windows of the current app, F9 shows all windows, etc. Open your System...

    Why does Terminal automatically launch a command?

    Try searching your shell configuration files for the name of the offending command. tcsh users, look for ~/.cshrc, ~/.tcshrc, ~/.login. bash users look in ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile. A nice little AppleScript (here) lets you modify the finder settings to show all those hidden...
