    copying folders in terminal

    Is that really true? I remember running some build scripts through SSH and I remember postfixing the build command with & hoping to make it run in the background when I logged out. Imagine my disappointment when the very next day I logged in to see that the build had stopped where I logged out.

    Broadband Heaven or Hell?

    I've got unlimited downloads, but I don't really download much apart from patches, and checking out source trees over the net. That said, I do browse flickr and various photography sites and I'm a big fan of viewing full uncompressed photos. I use about 40 GB a month.

    Wwdc 2008

    When I look at the settings tab for my Xcode projects, I have a good chuckle. If I wanted to, I can make a binary that supports PPC, PPC64, x86, x86-64. Now that's a real F-A-T binary.

    copying folders in terminal

    As far as I know, that will not work if you log out of SSH before the copy is complete.

    Wwdc 2008

    Snow Leopard has been announced. I wonder if they'll charge for it, or if it'll be like the upgrade from 10.0 -> 10.1?

    mounting a file to hard drive

    You put the CD in the drive, go to disk utility and click on the create disk image button. Typically, this requires the original CDs.

    mounting a file to hard drive

    *cough* *cough* You could always recreate the disk image by reimaging your CDs.

    SpectorSoft detection

    If you're worried that someone has installed SpectorSoft on your machine, you could download and run MacScan. The demo mode scans your entire hard drive and so it could take a while, but it's worth it if you value some peace of mind.

    Wwdc 2008

    That's exactly why I wouldn't be surprised by a switch to allowing regular PCs to run OS X. I've learnt to never discount anything when it comes to Apple.

    Would be cool to have it running on regular PCs.

    Program like fruity loops for mac

    I think you're just not used to GarageBand. Perhaps you should get a book and figure it out? I don't think there are many alternatives since GarageBand is pretty much the standard on OS X so most developers don't bother competing.

    Opening Java Cell Phone Game in Mac?

    That error message means that the .jar file you're trying to run doesn't have an embedded manifest file that tells the .jar launcher which class acts as the main class. A jar file is usually a collection of many different classes and unless one is specified as the main class, there is no way for...

    It sounds like you have a dodgy install DVD. Maybe you should take that back to the shop and have that replaced?

    Munix hacked? Valid files for install of Leopard?

    I don't think that your system is compromised. From where I'm sitting, it looks as though you are already believing that your system is compromised and that is leading you to see "intrusions" everywhere. Try scanning your computer against https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and see what it says.

    Munix hacked? Valid files for install of Leopard?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Https http://www.grc.com/port_443.htm That's a HTTP connection over SSL, i.e. secure HTTP, the protocol that you'll use when communicating with secure sites like your bank.

    Before I get a new Mac...

    You're trying to run the latest version of an OS on a machine that is over 6 years old? If you're not going to run OS X on a G3, why does it matter? I'm sorry, this isn't 1988 or 1998. It's 2008. What OS has trouble multi tasking? Man ... I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read...

    Before I get a new Mac...

    This "friend" of yours sounds like a retard. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but that's what it looks like from way over here. 1) The Windows registry is not something programmers are proud off. Just run a registry diagnostic tool on your computer. See how many invalid/wrong/missing entries...
