Its a bit old, but http://www.barefeats.com/quad06.html should help you out. Just thought I'd mention that those results should apply to the iMacs too, since the Core 2 Duos used in the iMacs are the successors to the Xeon used in the Mac Pros.

He bought the mac over a year ago. Why are you bringing up an old thread?

You will be better off in C++ than Objective-C if you want portability. The only reason I would code in Objective-C is to make use of all the Frameworks that are provided by Apple, as these seem to integrate best with Objective-C. Since you aren't intending to use those, you're better off with...

The thing is you need the bootcamp assistant to boot into Windows, right? What if they disabled that too? That's the danger of using beta software. They get disabled after a while since they usually have some timer code written in.

Was that the problem? Or perhaps it was this?

This is how you'd call Applescript from Cocoa. http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?CallAppleScriptFunction So make a Cocoa app like normal, and in the outlet connected to the button you can use the code described in the linked article to call your applescript.

The install CDs that come with a computer are specific to that kind of computer. So installing from discs that didn't come with the computer is a no-no.

/usr/bin/ld refers to the linker. What it means is that your Fortran compiler cannot find the definition to something called 'r'.

This is the thing that has always bit me in the butt. Is there a particular reason why objective-C requires a separate call to the alloc method? This is terribly unintuitive to programmers coming from languages where constructors exist.

Absolute nonsense. I taught myself BASIC at 12, C at 14 and have been hacking at various projects in various languages ever since. If I could do it then, anybody can learn to program on their own. It just requires determination and perseverance. As for a good book on learning to programming...

Guys, cut him some slack. His Mac has just broke and after seeing all the stuff on in the Apple ads, it's not surprising he feels let down.

Why are people bringing up old and dead threads?

Why do you need to know what file points to the sound card? If you're a programmer, just use CoreAudio. On Linux, you'd use ALSA or OSS anyway instead of directly writing to /dev/dsp. If you're a user of some esoteric software that somehow needs to know where the sound card is located, let us...

How do you compete with vaporware?

Do all these iApps load on startup? Do they jump out at you and ask you to buy the full version when you're not using them? There is a big difference with the junk you get on a new PC and the stuff that comes by default on a new Mac. Sure, you get MS Office trial, iWork trial, etc. They just...
