Hey dude. You can use those tools (Apples * Builders) to create Java programs, but they won't be portable w/o a lot of work! The best suggestion is to go IDE or by hand. Netbeans is pretty neat, but I'm a beginner with Java and I've had a heck of a time installing that. Borland has a...

Dudez, I love C! I much prefer the C stdio.h syntax over the C++ iostream.h BS! I've started off my "real" programming with C, but knowing the fundamentals of data types and arrays and such from VB really helped me get a grasp very early on. And From what I've seen, after learning C, you'll...

I haven't seen anything on the net about Apple possibly making an eBook device. It would seem like a great product that Apple could really pave a way for the industry to follow. -Jim

If I understand you correctly, using "char(intVariableName)" should work. -Jim

Yo dudes. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to solve this problem. Probably because correct code isn't working the way it's supposed to, and now since I've upgraded to 10.1 I'm not allowed to use the gets() function (well that's what I'm assuming is the problem. I'm pretty sure I've used it...

Yo dudes. That picture is of an old Mac SE that has been tweaked to look like the Rev. A iMac. As for tape drives, the DLT4000 and aboves are faster than IDE hard drives. The only thing is, they're meant for streaming backups. Meaning that they run from start to finish and write the data...

Hey dude. SSL is the Secure Socket Layer (i.e. an internet connection that is encrypted). SSH is a Secure Shell. SSH is pretty much (for simplicity sake) Telnet using SSL to make it more secure. SSL is what is used by Web servers, and really any type of server coded to use it. -Jim

That's a pretty tall order dude. HTTPS is essentially a secure web connection to lets say Apache with SSL. SSL is a public key/private key type encryption. You can pause it, but the connection MUST not be lost. If you try to resume a download say a few hours later it won't let you resume a...

The dev tools that come with OS X are pretty sweet in that you can use it for Carbon apps and Cocoa apps. So if you want to goof around with the C++ that I "think" you're talking about, Carbon would be the ideal choice. There was also an Apple compiler for free that is a Classic only guy. I...

Hello all! I'm sure you've allready answered this before, but me being the person that I am, why not just let it out of the bag again! How would I go about programming standard C++ (well as standard as you can get it I suppose)? I just started a C++ class at school, and I must admit that C++...

There are some CLI defrag apps for UNIX, but they all exercise extreme caution: which doesn't really help me promote them. There are some file systems that CAN get defragmented, but it is very unusual and the files are all kept tight anyway. REISER (I think I spelled that correctly) is such a...
